Grenade lands behind it (which wouldn't be hard for trained soldiers to do), and the driver is in some BIG trouble.

    This seems like a very effective way of deploying a flamethrower. It's able to carry a larger tank of gas, can have the gas tank be armoured to prevent explosion, and is protected to allow the soldier close enough to the enemy position to make the flamethrower usable. Alternatively, I'm sure combat engineers could make use of a mobile cover and tool carrying device.

    These would have been good trench tools, basically dig areas into the trench for these to roll up onto and act as strong points, and then when the fights over reverse them back into the trench, and you could even move them around in the trench to different positions to have a set of mobile bunkers you could rearrange in a few hours to make it difficult for artillery to zero in on.

    @Carnivorus about 35,000 Sherman's where built, and only around 7,500 german big cats where made, so while the German tank was better for armor and gun, the sherman was cheaper and more common. And many of those German tanks where on the eastern front. German tanks had great stats, but that was just not the type of tank you want. You need a cheap tank. And sherman crews loved it for ease of repair and survivability. And if you want somthing to kill a big cat, you could use a m10 or m18.which where on what? A SHERMAN CHASIS

    This tank is gold. I think if the tank had a seat, thicker side armor, roofcover, make the body a bit longer to fit a better engine to make to tank swift it would probably would have been a great weapon. Except it might have needed a bigger and better tank to guide it into battle, with the big tank on front and small tank in the back.
