Tank battle statistics

Would anyone know if there are any statistics which would help with this question:

What was the typical combat experience of a US Sherman tank in terms of how it was used in battle on the western front in 1944-1945. Did it most commonly engage other tanks, other vehicles, infantry, etc...?

I have never seen such statistics. Tanks did 'all of the above' overall. The mix depended on where they were deployed. In the Pacific Shermans were mostly deployed against enemy infantry and fortifications. In Normandy it was both. After the breakout the tanks mostly went up against vehicles in columns and rearguard units. I recently read an account of a battle near Mons Belgium where a pair of Sherman tanks went down a column of enemy vehicles destroying it as they went. They only stopped when the enemy was starting to deploy against them.

The Sherman tanks were far easier to produce and maintain than the German tanks, especially the Tiger. The Tiger tank was superior but somewhere I've read that no matter how many Shermans a Tiger took out, there was another Sherman to take it's place. This may be somewhat hyperbolic but it's an interesting statement!

BobG Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution explains the fact of evolution.

True when it comes to the Tiger (and Tiger II), but I doubt that the Sherman was much easier to make or keep running than the Panther. The US simply had the logistical and industrial power to keep complex engines of war operational in large numbers.

Germany hadn't.
