Hmmm funny thing how come we were the 1st to be able to put a decent gun in to a tank durring WW2. The AC4 Thunderbolt fitted with the 17 pounder... even though it never went into production for reasons I wont go into here however this development led to the Brittish being able to fit the 17 pounder in to the Sherman. The AC1 was also the 1st one piece cast armour hull which was not done by the US untill the 1950's.
