Britain's Sherman Firefly VC updated

Though when the Sherman first came on the scene it was quite comparable to the German vehicles it was going up against. However, the Germans continued advancing their designs, whereas the Americans felt it was better to mass produce than interrupt production with newer designs. In retrospect this was probably a mistake, at least in the eyes of the crews. However, the British did figure out that by upgunning the Sherman with a 17 pdr gun, called the Sherman Firefly, they would have a main gun that could take on the best the Germans put against them.
