History:
The M4A1 Sherman was one of the most recognisable Allied tanks of World War II. With its rounded cast hull and proven reliability, the M4A1 served across every major theatre from North Africa to Western Europe and the Pacific. It was widely used by American forces and also supplied to British and Soviet allies under Lend-Lease. The late version of the M4A1 introduced refinements such as improved armour, upgraded suspension, and revised internal systems for greater combat effectiveness. Despite being outmatched by heavier German armour, the Sherman’s superior numbers, ease of maintenance, and adaptability made it the backbone of Allied armoured units throughout the war.
