Sherman Tank Series Part 1

The M4 Sherman, officially the Medium Tank, M4, was the primary battle tank used by the United States and the other Western Allies in World War II. It proved to be a reliable and highly mobile workhorse. In spite of being outweighed by the German tanks later in the war, the Sherman still proved more effective overall than the German Panther according to a US Army Ballistic Research Lab study.^[4] Thousands were distributed to the Allies, including the British Commonwealth and the Soviet Union, through the lend-lease program. The M4 was the second most produced tank of the World War II era, after the Soviet T-34, and its role in its parent nation's victory was comparable to that of the T-34. The tank was named after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman by the British.

My Comment:

Sherman tank defines it vast massive modification of its kind.

Thought it has wet ammo rack to increase the chance of not blowing up, a stronger

weapon can still damage it.
