On D-Day the DD Shermans which were supposed to support the landing all sank do to the waves. What would the effects have been if in instead of DD Shermans the LVTs with Stuart turrets the Marines were using in the Pacific at the same time had been used and presumably don't sink and can provide support for the American landing forces on Omaha.
Would the operation have gone smoother with fewer casualties as those on Gold and Sword did with the help they gained from Hobarts "Funnies"?
