Panzer III Ausf. J
Panzer III Ausf. J was the most common version of Panzer III which saw fighting in Russia and North Africa. It was equipped with a short-barreled 50mm gun. The tanks fared well in fighting against British Crusader cruiser and US-supplied M3 Stuart light tank. However, they did less effective against heavily armored Matilda II tanks. The production stopped in 1942.
M4 Sherman
In WW2, M4 Sherman was the most used by the US medium tank. Its main armament was 75 or 76mm gun and three machine guns. The tank was reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers, with a lot of them being shipped to the Soviet Union through the lend-lease program. M4 first saw combat in late 1942 in North Africa as a part of the British army and then during the operation Torch, also used by the US army. It was superior to the German and Italian lighter tanks but was no match for increasing numbers of German heavy tanks. However, M4 was able to fight on with the help of numerical superiority.
