You pays your money and you makes your choice.
You build small numbers of over-engineered tank killers or you choose to stick with a basic all-round tank built in huge numbers. History tells us who made the right decision.
Over half the German tank force in Normandy was the old PzIV and it was no better a tank than the Sherman.
