SHERMAN M4

The Sherman M4 was an American tank used during the Second World War. Many varieties were made, but the most common was the M4A3 which weighed 31.57 tonnes and had a crew of five. It was fairly thickly armoured, up to 108 mm and had a 76 mm gun plus a coaxial 7.62 mm machine-gun in a fully traversing turret and an extra ball mounted machine-gun in the hull front. As with the M3 Lee an additional machine-gun was usually fitted to the commander's cupola. The M4A3 was powered by a Ford 450bhp V8 engine which gave it a top speed of 26 mph and a range of 160 km.
