The British Churchill tank wasn't so great against the German tanks either.

My father was a Staff Sgt in the RTC and was not very complimentary about ANY Allied tanks. The Sherman was known as The Ronson among other things because it lit every time................
Their only real advantage was the Allies were able to out produce Germany in tank production so it was ultimately a numbers game.
