Hey ... I didn't build it... I just found it and posted it

....I know it's ludicrous but.... it was a guess to the question posed... and who really knows what lay in the mind of Sir Canned when it comes to the Ultimate Sherman

As far as the M51 goes, there is a movie called The Big Red One that I found in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. They use M51's (which, in the movie, are supposed to be Tiger I's). There are a couple of good scenes of them running around, and I really enjoyed hearing what they actually sounded like, and seeing the amount of exhaust smoke that they generated. Some scenes of it from the movie are here:
