US Shermans weren´t designed to fight against other tanks, they were designed to act as infantry support. Enemy tanks were supposed to be knocked out by US Tank Destroyers and that´s why a Sherman most oftenly ends up burning when meeting a German tank. The 76mm armed Sherman were much better against enemy tanks but its high explosive shells were much weaker than the 75mm dittos. The best thing with the Sherman were that they were easy to drive, maintain and produce in large quantities.
