Correct.

If it were a Tiger, the outcome could easily have been much different.

The Sherman was no match for the Tiger.

From what I understand, the Pershing and Tiger were about evenly matched.

I see your point and agree with the view that Germany expended a lot of time, treasure and men on foolish projects but disagree on the Tigers, I do agree on the elephant and tigerjager models though.

The king tiger was a great success on the battlefield, it's problems were that it was a very complicated and expensive vehicle to build and operate.

The Germans never turned their armored vehicles nor assembly plants to the newer mass production standards, each was basically hand built, while the t-34 and Sherman rolled off the assembly lines in the tens of thousands.

Quantity over quality won the war

The Pershing, with it's 90mm main gun, should have been available earlier in the war. The M-4 Sherman was a little death trap for the crews.
