[QUOTE="Tigerhaze, post: 57992, member: 6436"] This is not a commentary on the 843 so sorry for the digression, but I had to laugh at the comment about “built like a Sherman tank”. My grandpa was a Sherman tank driver in WWII; 6 of them he was driving were destroyed and he was on his 7th when his involvement in the war ended. He said the tank drivers were always wishing they had the newer, heavier Pershing tanks because the lighter armor and gas engines on the Shermans made them into a fireball if hit. My grandpa actually had a tank shell pass between his legs and through his tank. There is actually a good book about the Sherman's weaknesses authored by Lt. Belton Cooper, who my grandpa met on the battlefield. Anyhow, the comment would have given my grandpa a good laugh- he passed away this year so his comments on the Sherman are still fresh in my mind.
