I wish they had built one, i would love to of seen actual photos of it, i wonder how it would of affected the soviets if it had been built and used? (probably soviets rather than allies i think)

I know. My dads tanker.
I think that's a very, very strong bias toward the American point of view, and not very realistic. There are several good tanks that the British and Americans came out with, but overall (taking the average from 1941-1945) the US and UK were inferior to the Germans and Russians in both design and function. The USA's Sherman was a lot easier to fix though.

As far as tank destroyers go ... consider that nobody killed as many tanks with so little as the Germans. They had lots of anti-tank systems they used to balance a very nonbalanced tank equation in the East.
