I did not know that the Sherman had a very bad reputation.

Depends on who you ask, Still being argued about today, Also hotly debated is the Russky T34, and the German armour, I often participate in other forums and know many guys in the Oregon Military vehicle club and several members own tanks. My wife wants one badly! (Really!)
A guy about 3 miles from me was killed a few years ago when a round misfired in his tank. I knew the guy. He had a nice collection. I know a lot of people who were in US Armour divisions & units and talk a lot about this stuff.
Some considred the Sherman a death trap, certainly the Sheridan as well was considered a death trap.. They used some in Vietnam and a guy I know on Quora talks about them all the time. I read a lot of his stuff and he is a Canadian who enlisted in the US Army, chatted with Gen Pattons Son who was his commander at one point, and saw a lot of combat in Vietnam as a Tank driver. ASK HIM any tank questions that come to mind. He knows his stuff.

Armored Cavalry Regiment (the Black Horse Regiment) in Vietnam, consisted of three full squadrons of armored cavalry. The squadron normally consisted of a headquarters troop, three cavalry troops, a tank company, a 155-mm self-propelled howitzer battery, and an aviation troop.
