Ah yes, the Ronson. Me wonders if T.A. likes it because it's American? It was easy to work on, I'll give it that.

The Allies deploy the American-built Sherman which turns out to be a disaster and great disappointment. Despite its great size and sloping armour its 75mm gun is short and inaccurate and armour poorly distributed. It is no match for the PzIV one on one and often not even for the PzIIIs high-velocity 50mm at guns with newer shells. It took superior numbers of tanks and air superiority to do the job.

vulnerable ammunition storage, gave the Sherman the nickname "Ronson," taken from the Ronson cigarette lighter. This was based on the Ronson Company's famous slogan, "lights first time, every time."
