M4 Sherman vs Tiger
I have always understood that the M4 was faster then the Tiger tank which enabled it to run around the flanks and destroy the Tiger. I even watched a program on the History Channel that did a scenario of this exact theory showing five Sherman's going up against a Tiger. Only one survives, but "with it's superior speed it is able to move to a flank and kill the Tiger".
Well then I was surprised to read that both the Sherman and the Tiger have the exact same road speed, 38km/hr. Even in SP they have the same movement, 12 hexes. So why this notion that the Sherman was faster then the Tiger? Have people mistaken the turret traverse speed for vehicle speed and come up with this theory?
