Auto Credit Based on Kevpilot's M-4 Sherman Medium Tank

This is @Kevpilot's M-4 tank with a few cool upgrades. He says about his original model: "The M-4 was the most used allied tank during WWII. It was masproduced by the US. Because it was so common on the battle feild, many of them wer changed for spefic purposes( such as mine clearing, laying bridges and more). It could take on the smaller Panzers, but it had to get close to take out a tiger. Evenaully the british came up with a solution: put a bigger gun on it! That verision was called the "Firerfly". The main armor on this tank is indesructable! But the bottom/joints ma ay break:( enjoy!!!!!!"
I improved the steering. It still might jam up, but it's better. I also added some play features. 1&2 fire the gun. It only shoots forward, so the turret is just for show. Button 3 simulates a small mortar or something of the sort hitting the tank. Button 4 is the fun button. It simulates a missile hit. Kaboom. If this isn't working, replace the post in the middle holding up the turret with fuel tanks instead of round blocks. I may post an upgraded version with this fixed.

    I'm not saying the Sherman is better, but it did kill all German tanks(as a whole) 3:2. I know the tiger ate the m4 alive. M4 vs tiger: I have heard numbers ranging from 1:5(history channel) to 1:12. In either of these numbers the Sherman still kills some tigers. Now the definition of "kill" idk(like u said it may just be a minor thing that disables the tiger)

    -_- you if all people should know that all German panzer battalions were held back from Normandy, the 75&76mm Sherman's could not even penetrate the rear of tigers and what you mean by knocked out would mean destroying the muzzle brake or jamming turret blinding the glass or killing crew that is not properly knocking out a tank tho as that can be eisily repaired, Germans could destroy (literally put the inside of a Tank on the outside) any kind of allied tank at close range and long range, you are just making the terrible Sherman (that was only good because it was simple and easy to make) sound better than the tiger that was Taylor made and had so many parts it was classified as one of the most over engineered tank in history, the tiger that can withstand pretty much any allied shot until 1944 and the limited amount of tigers destroyed were destroyed simply by luck and sheer number of enemy's it was facing, compare the amount of tigers destroyed and the amount of allied tanks @Kevpilot then tell me the Sherman is better

    Sry, I meant most used on western front(I need to be more seep fix) and the Sherman's did kill some tigers in Normandy, where they engaged tigers in the streets.the 17pounder was used to attack the tigers in carefully planned attacks, when the would get a good shot they could knockout a tiger at a pretty long range @PlanesOfOld

    T34 was the most used allied tank as the Russians were our allies, shermans couldn't actually penetrate the rear of the tiger unless they were less than 10 meters away and close in tank warfare is 100m and whilst the tiger was practically indestructible the Sherman could be penetrated from every angle by the Tigers 88mm kwk 36 the panthers 76mm high velocity kwk42 and by the panzer 4s 75mm gun and panzer 3s 50mm gun, the Brits strapped the 17 pounder on but the Sherman got almost no armour benefits, whilst the 17pounder could penetrate a tiger 1 from 1000m at its weakest lower glacis plate it still has some difficulties when not at extreme. Range...
