The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II.
It came with a 105-millimeter Howitzer main gun with a Ford V-8. 1,100 cubic inch gasoline engine. It became known as the "General Sherman" during World War II and was produced in greater numbers than any other American tank before or since. It gradually fell behind the standards imposed by German improvements, notably in its gun power.
In spite of its defects, it was in general, a highly successful tank and, above all, was reliable and available in quantity. A total of 3,039 were built including variants and modifications from April, 1944 to May, 1945. STATS - Ammunition: 66 rounds of 105 MM, Weight: 69,600 pounds, Range: 100 miles.
