About the M4 Sherman:

Perhaps the best known Allied tank during World War II, the M4 Sherman was designed to replace the M3 Lee. Named for the eccentric William T. Sherman, Union general during the American Civil War, the Sherman medium tank was mass produced to help offset better armed German tanks such as the Tiger. The American war machine produced over 50,000 Sherman tanks. Although slightly underpowered, their overwhelming numbers were too much for Axis armor to handle.

The Sherman model was used for several dozen different variants. Among these variants, several were specialized for mine clearance, rocket battery, or as a self-propelled howitzer. The standard M4 Sherman was equipped with a Continental R975 gasoline-powered engine and could achieve a top speed of twenty-four miles per hour. Armed with three machine guns and a 75mm cannon, the Sherman could handle all but the heaviest German tanks.
