In Normandy, were M4 Tankers able to take out German Panzer Tanks with their less Powerful Gun.?
If a Larger Panzer Tank was caught out of it's defensive position and at close range, Could an M4 or Cromwell Tank penetrate the German Tank with their less powerful guns. I suppose it depends on what Panzer Tank and what area of the Panzer Tank your trying to hit.
I have heard the hedge rows were terrible for Allied tank crews and were better for the Germans being in defensive positions. I have also been told that the war in Russia and North Africa were better for armor, due to the vast space. I've heard the adapted hedge cutters on the front of the M4 Tanks were one of the main reasons for the break out. Cheers John
Your main question is about whether the M4's could destroy German tanks...The earlier Shermans with the 75 mm M3 gun and even the later ones with the 76mm M1 gun could penetrate the armour of a Panzer 4 at the front but a closer range yet the mark 4 could use its gun against the Sherman at farther ranges....As for taking out Panthers or Tiger tanks it would have be attacked from the sides or rear...Even though Shermans weren't meant to engage German tanks (US doctrine stated that the task of engaging enemy armor was for the tank destroyers)they were still used to fight tanks..They would have to attack in numbers...The fact that the Allies could weild more tanks was what beat the German tanks, even the mighty tiger has to succomb to say 5 or 6 Shermans at the same time but it would take a few out before it goes down...Plus most German tanks in the West were destroyed by aircraft like the P51,P47, or typhoon.
Since you mention the Cromwell, it too could take on German tanks although its gun was better with HE rounds and did worse in AP capability than the 6pounder..However the Cromwells gun(a modified 75mm gun that fired the same rounds as the earlier Shermans) was far better to the early Shermans before they were upgunned to the 76mm gun..The Cromwell also did somewhat well because when they engaged armour like a tiger a lot of them would have to use their speed to outflank and fire at the rear, so in a way it was slightly better than the Sherman.
Overall both tanks could take on the heavier panzers but they had to get close enough for their guns to have any effect..It wouldn't be until the use of the Firefly that the shermans could engage at long range. The part about the allied breakout did help a lot from the capture of Cherbourg, because the port would prove better for offloading supplies than the invasion beaches..but the use of the hedge cutters did help the Shermans in that it allowed them to work their way around prepared positions, and have a better chance at fighting.
