Amen, "Hooked," amen. WHAT were the designers thinking with all those straight surfaces? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Hey, if we angle the turret and sides, they become thicker! Whooda thunk?

I think because hull and turret where cast? Is why the Sherman is rounded. On a side note on Utube under ( FSAvs SAA) there are tons of videos of the Syrian Rebels killing T55 and T72's with EASE.! you think the Sherman lite up like a Ronson....In one the Tank fires and while the breech is open for reload a teenager tosses a grenade down the barrel!!! Guess what happens next...
You guessed it Hooked!! Good job,, keep up the good work...;)
Does anyone remember the details of the video filmed by the tank crew of someone climbing out onto thier main gun to toss a grenade down it ? They waited till he got right up to the muzzle , then fired a round. After the smoke cleared , you could catch a glimpse of the body comming down , missing an arm , landing about 50-75 yards downrange . Chilling.

I've been just off the muzzle of an M1 when it fired a fin stab...shocking! I was down in a trench too...I can't imagine being up at the muzzle when he touches off.
Let's just say the noise was horrendous...Oh look! That Sherman has early reactive armour...
