RE: M4 Sherman vs Tiger
Yep, that was a problem with the way the US built their army. By keeping the tank battalions in a pool and assigning them to an Infantry division as needed, there were not enough Tank battalions to go around as there would have been if a tank battalion had been organic to the Infantry division. So when the Infantry division was pulled out to rest, that tank battalion was assigned to another Infantry division, which meant they got no rest. Plus they lost the advantage or working together with the same guys, so everybody had to start from scratch as a combined arms team. The Army stopped doing that after the Korean war. Now days the difference between a US Inafntry divison and a US Armored divison is ( was, they are rearranging things again) the ratio of MBT's to IFV's.
