Well Saunders can't employ American doctrine in senshado. American tanks were not suppose to engage enemy tanks directly according to doctrine. That was the job of the tank destroyers. But American tank destroyers are open topped tanks with larger guns (and generally faster than the Shermans). Being open topped makes them unsuited for sports use as the crews can't be defended with the carbon coating. You won't see a M10 TD running around with the M4 Shermans, so they need the Firefly instead at minimum if they decide to not just overpower their opponent with Pershings.
