Well, if you compare it to a heavy tank like a Tiger I suppose that is true. Stack it up against a T-34 or Pz-IV it doesn't look so bad. Guards Colonel Dmitri Loza has quite a few good things to say about the Lend-Lease Shermans he fought in:

I especially like the story about how they took care of attacking Tigers...
