Tiger tanks couldn't be massed produced, or maintained as well in the field. Too heavy and unmanueverable. The rest of the German equipt was the same. The Panther was a great tank... too bad it never ran. The Soviet tanks had similar problems; one problem with tanks is crew comfort, rest assured, after bouncing around in a Sov tank, you weren't in good shape to do much. Fact remains, the Sov Guard regts were equipt with Shermans. Looking at drawings and specs and a few examples of a neato torpedo looking German aircraft and you would think they were genuis at this stuff. Closer inspection shows that the US did more basic research on a broader front and was better at shifting out what was doable and could get into production faster. You can find pictures of US jet aircraft lined up at mid west airfields dated 1943, but why mass produce them if a P-51 can tactically out fight Me-262s?? Don't even get me on the subject of u-boats...
