Actually I'd choose to be a mechanic working on Shermans first because they where easier to maintain and second I'd severe my country best by being a mechanic over a direct combatant. If I was German then I'd be a Panther mechanic only if all Fw190 crew chief solts where filled.Of course if I was German I'd fell conflicted as I'm not a fan of Nazism but I'd still have to serve being a good citizen.
I remember seeing a stat for Sherman vs KV maintenance. The Sherman needed either 4 hours of maintenance for every hour (or day?) of operation, while the KV series required 16 on the same chronometric.
