First off, the Sherman weighed 37tons not including any additional 'protection'added on in the field.
Any and every tank could and was penetrated by AT fire.No one could put a foot of armor everywhere on their tanks.

Certainly no tank was above getting turned over by a bomber run or ship bombardment.


Heartland. The U.S. simply out-produced Germany...comparing apples to oranges there are'nt you?
10 Shermans vs 1 Tiger,sooner or later they'll get a hit.
Your sources say "axis"tanks dis-abled by mines and abandoned or out of gas?
