Even Shermans Need Love - Mad Baron - 08-27-2008 Okay, M4 Shermans weren't the greatest tank of WW2!... But when they do great deeds in a 30 (fixed) turn 2000-pt. QB/ME, they deserve some accolades! Lt Springer's and Sgt Darland's were 2 of 4 surviving Shermans out of a platoon of 5 (a pretty good survival rate). Here is an end-game photo of the pair, with 2 smoking Marders in the distance. Each of these 2 Shermans had a respectable kill count! (Not to mention, all 8 enemy Marders in the fight were KOed, and 1 by even a 60mm mortar crew.) RE: Even Shermans Need Love - Copper - 08-27-2008 If ony all Shermans performed like that eh?? RE: Even Shermans Need Love - Mad Baron - 10-03-2008 More amazing Sherman records!!?? 2000 pt. QB, CMAK, Large Town. 4 Shermans (only 1 was eliminated before the end) accounted for these kills: >>19 Inf casualties, and 1 mortar >>48 Inf, and 1 SPW >>20 Inf >>55 Inf, and 2 SPW's 140 (+) Inf kills total by these few tanks....2 Shermans alone racked up over 100 together...!!?? (The Sherms accomplished virtually all of this by demolishing defended heavy-buildings, unopposed for the most part...[notice a flamethrower team still having a smoke atop the lead Sherman at the end of the lop-sided battle].) RE: Even Shermans Need Love - Kragkcscn - 10-03-2008 Those were 105mm by the way RE: Even Shermans Need Love - Mad Baron - 10-06-2008 Kragkcscn would know...it was his Sherman's that took me apart! (He did everything right that game.)
