Description
The US M4A3 Sherman was an up gunned version of the iconic Sherman WW2 tank, widely used by the United States and Western Allies in WW2. The upgraded tank was equipped with a new, better-protected turret. Additionally, the M4A3 was the first Sherman tank to be factory-produced with the horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) system with wider tracks to better distribute weight, resulting in a smoother ride and better mobility.
Manned by a crew of 5, the M4A3 was armed with a high-penetrating 76 mm cannon with its high velocity armour piercing rounds, granting the tank a much greater firepower boost.
