The VC Firefly was based on the Sherman tank and was most often used as a command 
tank. This tank had average speed as well as an armament of a 17lb gun and 
a .30 caliber machine gun. What made the tank deadly to most German tanks 
(including the Panther) was its 17lb anti-tank gun. In general its armor on 
the hull was average, and slightly stronger on the turret.
