The T-34 or the sherman are not light tanks but medium ones, and if the sherman has the 17pdr it is no longer the sherman but the firefly. Plus why would the Firfly want to counter the firepower of the T-34? And a counter for the tiger, it still had trouble.

Joe. Here we go again

I never meant that the light tank is useless just that it should be capable at taking on enemy tanks, not shooting and scooting, such as arming them with 50mm cannons instead of the 37mm such as the Puma AFV, a good speed crossed with firepower but only without compromising the speed and the original deployment of the light tank. Of course there will be times when you will need to shoot and scoot but why not take a few enemy with you.
