The Ronson.
Always set on fire after the first hit.

@tallpowerhouseblonde I thought the tigers ran on diesel.

@TexChik Ah it was the soviets that ran on diesel. The Tigers ran on petrol but ended up having to run on synthetic biofuel because gasoline was in short supply

@TexChik Nope.Definately gas.In the battle of the bulge German forces even tried to capture U.S. fuel depots of gasoline to keep their tanks going.They failed.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Cool tank movie but a little corny in the end.

@melbeacher That ending was pretty far fetched.

Ronson.... Tommy cooker...

Petrol engine so when they were hit by the german guns they just burst into flame killing the crew inside

@braveheart21 They also had poor protection for their ammunition
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
Ammo is carried inside the tank next to the crew so when the tank caught fire it was the next thing to blow... 50 cal machine gun and 76mm main gun ammo... Makes for a bad day @Dlrannie

Those Sherman tanks sure did pack a punch.

@Barefooter25 Only the later models and the upgraded British variant.The earlier versions had poor firepower.

@tallpowerhouseblonde During the invasion of France, many of them had trouble getting through the hedges in the farm backfields. Hedge trimmers were installed underneath the tanks in order for them to get through.

I would rather be in a Tiger or Panther

Ronsons was one I believe.

I’m no engineer but a couple more inches of armor and a lot of lives might have been saved. The German 88s hit this like a .38 hitting a beer can.
