About the Sherman Tank: The Medium Tank M4 was the primary tank produced by the United States for its own use and the use of its Allies during World War II.  Production of the M4 Medium tank exceeded 50,000 units, and its chassis served as the basis for thousands of other armored vehicles such as tank destroyers, tank retrievers and self-propelled artillery.  In the United Kingdom, the Lend-Lease M4 was dubbed the General Sherman after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, following the British practice of naming American tanks after famous American generals.  Subsequently the British nickname found its way into common use in the US.  Following World War II, the M4 medium tank was used by the U.S. until the end of the Korean War.  Many nations continued to use the tank in both training and combat roles into the late 20th century. The Sherman tank was comparatively fast and maneuverable, mechanically reliable, easy to manufacture and service, and produced in many special-purpose variants, whose capabilities differed greatly.  It was effective in the infantry support role. The Sherman performed well against World War II Japanese tanks, Italian tanks, and the German standard tank of World War II, the Panzer IV medium series.  However, the typical Sherman was significantly inferior in both armor and armament to the German Tiger heavy tanks, Panther "medium" (heavy by US standards) and some of the tank destroyers fielded by the Germans in 1944. Although Sherman tanks armed with 105 mm M4 Howitzers provided even more powerful high-explosive armament, they were of limited use in fighting enemy tanks due to the problems of hitting the small targets with a howitzer, and the lack of power traverse which hindered getting the howitzers on target in a timely fashion. About This Particular U.S. M4A1 Sherman Tank:  The U.S. M4 Sherman was the most produced battle tank in WWII.  Many variants were designed and manufactured to increase their effectiveness against German Panzer divisions.  The M4A1 was quick, highly maneuverable, simple to maintain and was equipped with a 75MM gun.
