The Sherman had a 75mm gun in the turret with a .30 Browning and a .30 Browning mounted in the Hull.

The 75mm was of no match to the German tanks in the later of the war years, to this end in some of the British tanks the 75mm was replaced with a much heavier 17 Pounder and renamed "The Firefly" and was then used in a Tank Destroyer role. If we put aside the Sherman's shortcomings it was more reliable than the British produced tanks at that time.
