Fighters: The Typhoon is a far more advanced fighter than the Warhawk, and is more heavily armed with four 20mm cannon which will cause greater damage to enemy aircraft and it also carried a heavier air-to-ground armament with its rockets in addition to bombs. Edge: Monty

Bombers: Oddly, the "bomber" on the British side is not listed as carrying bombs, so I'm not sure if I should count this ability. At any rate, the B-17 has a larger bombload, but the Mosquito is more maneuverable and actually makes a viable fighter. For this reason, I call this Even- situation dependent as the two aircraft cannot be directly compared given their very different roles.

Tanks 1: The M3 Lee was a compromise design as the US did not yet have factories ready to produce the Sherman. As such, it has a sub-optimal gun in its turret, and the 75mm was in a fixed where it was of limited use. Add to that the issues with spalling from the riveted construction, and it has yet more weaknesses. The Churchill was slow, but it was heavily armored, with some variants having armor comparable to a German Panther. The Churchill in this match may only be armed with the smaller six pounder gun, but the 6-pounder was relatively effective at armor penetration, favored over the 75mm for anti-tank work, as the 17 pounder was never successfully mounted on the Churchill. Edge: Monty

Tanks 2: The Sherman gets a bad rap in the media for being a so-called "deathtrap", but in actual fact, the vehicle, while not as well armored as German tanks, historical records and accounts show it to be a reliable and effective vehicle, and was well-liked by Allied tank crews. Both vehicles in this match are Sherman variants, however, I give the edge to Monty's Firefly for its far more powerful 17 pounder gun.

Tanks 3: The M22 Locust was, by all accounts a poor design, being under armed and armored for the battlefield of 1944 when it was first deployed. The Hellcat, on the other hand, while lightly armored, was still better armored than the Locust and its powerful 76mm guns proved effective even against heavy German armor, and the Hellcat was faster at a top speed of 50 miles per hour. Edge: MacArthur
