"While the M24 Chaffee was not designed to fight enemy tanks, such incidents did occur on occasion. In early March 1945, a pair of M24s of F Troop, 4th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, stumbled upon a pair of German tanks that they identified as Tigers on the outskirts of Dormagen, Germany. More likely they were Panthers, but either way it was a considerable mismatch. But the German crews were surprised as their American opponents, and the M24 had the advantage of a faster turret traverse. Before the panzers could swing their clumsy turrets at their smaller foe, the M24s slammed several high-explosive rounds against the thinner side and rear turret armor. These were enough to set off an internal fire which destroyed both panzers. While such incidents were flukes, they reaffirm that the outcome of tank-to-tank battles cannot be predicted with any certainty by paper calculations of tank characteristics, since circumstance, luck, and crew performance can sometimes overcome disparities in equipment."
