editI don't see mention of the 17pdr Firefly Shermans. Are they subsumed in non-76mm, or what? Trekphiler 22:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- The Fireflys and other 17 pdr shermans are conversions of tanks supplied to the British, so they would have been 75 mm vehicles as produced. GraemeLeggett 09:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- I guess that's a "duh" to me, huh? Should've figured it out. On another note, am I being picky about disliking "Medium M3/M4", as opposed to "M3/M4 Medium"? Kreskin 09:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Numbers don't add up
editAdding the various subtotals gives 102,253, not the 88,816 listed under "all types and derivatives" and somehow this pretty major discrepancy should be fixed. DavidKVT (talk) 07:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Total production lacks an entry for 1945. --Denniss (talk) 07:41, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- "Official munitions production of the United States by months, July 1, 1940 - August 31, 1945," found here, which seems to generally agree on numbers (for instance, M3 light tanks numbers agree exactly for the sub-table), lists for the 8 months of 1945 before VJ-day: 11,583 tanks, 1,671 armored cars, 1,868 "tank conversions" (I do not know what this means), and 2,651 "remanufactured and modernized tanks and cars," so depending on what should be included here (and I feel unqualified to decide), some number between 11,583 and 17,773 can probably be sourced for a 1945 column.
