The U.S increased its armored vehicle production during WWII because the German tanks were usually a superior foe. While American tanks were made to be produced at a constant and fast rate they were pretty low quality. But the German tanks on the other hand were usually over engineered and far superior to any allied tank on the battlefield. It is said that it took 5 American Sherman tanks to destroy just 1 German Tiger tank.

The main reason as to why the United States increase their production of tanks after the German Blitzkrieg in World War 2 was because of the fact that they would want to counter impressive the vehicles that were used by the Germans.
