The Sherman..well it was a "nice" tank.Crew friendly and known for its ease of being maintained in the field...Its 75mm T-8/M-3 gun was next to worthless when it first saw combat.Even Sherman's later equipped with a 76mm were considered obsolete after May 1943.

If you go by when it first hit the streets,the T 34/76 is clearly the better tank.
Ditto

Plus, what was the Russian's nick name for the Sherman (clue)
