“Over hill, over dale we have it the dusty trail, and those caissons go rolling along!”

The M4A2 Sherman (with the 75mm M3 cannon) was the primary tank of the US armoured corps during the Second World War seeing action of both the Pacific and European theatres of war before being semi-phased out by the 76mm wielding Shermans and then the M26 Pershing.

Quite a lot of Shermans (and I mean A LOT of Shermans) were repurposed to be the primary and sole tank of Saunders tankery team (variants including M4A1s, a singular M4A2 (76W) and Sherman VC)

And yes, the stabiliser works.
