How Bad Were American Heavy Tanks?

When thinking about famous American vehicles, heavy tanks usually aren't the first thing that spring to mind. It seems like the US Army never had much interest in heavy tanks historically, but this isn't entirely true. The US experimented with them quite a lot during World War II. So were these tanks better or worse than their contemporaries? Today we'll be taking a quick look at the T29, T30, T34, T32, and M103. Sources: Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank by R.P.
