    Idk how accurate the following statement will be, but I kinda feel like Belgium has more restored/running US WWII vehicles than the US does.

      Sadly the US army dumped a lot of the obsoleted sherman variants like the small hatch 75mm gun once, out of which most had fought their way threw afrika, france belgium into germany and were incredible pices of history into the sea after the war because they didnt see a reason to ship them all the way back to the US again.
      As a result most shermans that are still alive today are the once that the US army faild to find when they were cleaning up in europe or the once that had stayed in britain because reasons.
      In other words you may be right. There are probably more shermans in europe then in the US. And there were even more in the past but the french rebuild a lot of them to the "Super Shermans" like the M4 SA-50 or M4 FL-10 and those went away to see service in many middle eastern conflicts aswell as finding their way into the budget militarys of poor countrys. I think chile had shermans untill 2002 at which point those tanks had seen over 57 years of service which is just absolutely insane.

      @@josiahricafrente585 I do remember someone saying somewhere once to "know your enemy". Why spend the money on a more advanced tank when the enemy can't even hurt a Sherman?

      You may be very well correct. The ammount of vehicles we used was greatly trumped by the number of units shipped to most countries.

      It’s a plane engine if I’m not correct, they had so many they out most on them in many Sherman’s

    The smoke is from the oil collecting in the bottom cylinders of the engine that is why the tank crew would hand crank it to cycle the oil back into the system before cold starting it.

      Hey Brian, is the radial lying flat? Or is it sitting upright in there somewhere?
