All three vehicles have stronger cannons than the Sherman, and the Sherman can be used as bait, while the other vehicles defeat heavier units. To counter heavier vehicles, it is best to either use numbers and overwhelm the enemy with the Sherman's manoeuvrability and attack through the side and rear or to used mixed combat methods by incorporating the M36 Jackson tank destroyer, M26 Pershing tank, or the M10 Wolverine tank destroyer.
Sherman tanks are equipped with a 75mm M3 cannon which can use both AP and HE rounds, and this allows Sherman tanks to engage light and medium tanks with ease however against heavier tanks such as the Panther, Tiger I, Tiger B, IS-2 and other heavy units, the Sherman would be easily defeated. A normal M4A3 Sherman costs 340 manpower, 110 fuel and 12 population, which means that it is a very cost effective and efficient unit to have, yet is more expensive and overall superior to the Soviet T-34/76 Medium Tank, yet overall slightly weaker than the Ostheer Panzer IV. Tanks are far from useless, but require more attention to be used to their full effectiveness.The M4 Sherman is the main tank used by the US Forces, and can be unlocked after upgrading the Battalion Command Post. Hence they will do very well being brought in at just the right time when the enemy is disrupted or temporarily without AT and can be used to flush out anti-inf emplacements so your infantry can move up. The flip side is that in the absence of anti-tank weapons tanks are almost invincible. Tanks are easily taken out by anti-tank units, so using them to rush a heavily defended emplacement is costly. Hence a tank can pay for itself many times over
Unlike infantry squads which will constantly loose men and need to be replaced, tanksĬan be repaired for almost nothing.
They do cost fuel, howeverĪs the game draws longer you should have excess fuel available.
Which is not excessive considering main infantry ranges between ~255MP to ~300MP (elite units around ~400). Tanks built on the map range between ~300MP to ~600MP. Like most units in CoH tanks are great at the right time and place.
