Reliable, easy to fix so high availability. Good in many ways except for tank to tank battle where it was generally adequate aside from fighting the big German cats. I watched a YouTube video with a German tanker who bragged about how their tanks were better. Then he gave a sad smile and added “of course theirs always started”” which highlighted the American advantage.
