Sherman's I'd like to see in WWII

[tranquil remnant]

Given that these 3 Sherman's are fairly unique, I feel as they should be added into the game.

The first is the Sherman Jumbo with concrete armor.
This could either be a medium, or classified as a heavy.
While the Jumbo in this picture is mounting a short 75mm, I would recommend giving it a 105mm howitzer.

The second is a Jumbo Sherman with the addition Panther armor that the Pattons 3rd Army applied to all of their Sherman's. It is my understanding that the armor could applied to any Sherman, so it stands to reason that it could get added to a Jumbo.
I feel as a Jumbo with this armor, should use the stock engine, be classified as a heavy tank, use the stock turret, and mount the long 75mm with it.

The third is a some form of E8(?) with the short 75, but with additional side armor.
If this tank is given the armor like it has in the picture, it should be a PMM tier 5.

Concrete Jumbo

Basic M4 Sherman with additional frontal armor.

M4A3 HVSS Sherman with additional side armor.

Id also give an honorable mention to this E8 with a long 75, with slat, and sandbag armor. While this could be a skin, I feel as the addition slat like armor warrents addition.

@twilit snow any idea what Sherman hull this is?

[tranquil remnant]

In regards to the Jumbo with the Panther UFP and additional armor installed, I feel as the armor on the turret should be more box like. (See pictures)
While I don't think it was ever given to a Jumbo, I still think it'd be a nice addition.

Sherman SO-122
A Russian(?) modification thst features a 122mm gun.
According to reddit, it either used a T-34, or a T-55 engine.

M4A3 HVSS

I would also be interested in seeing this as a Tier 7 heavy if we got a version with the Jumbo hull, and the additional Panther plate.

(Jumbo best Sherman)

[twilit snow]

Can you confirm if that second tank in the OP is a Jumbo or not?
It looks like it has HVSS, which Jumbos don't have

[tranquil remnant]

It isn't.

The idea is that armor could be applied to any Sherman though

[twilit snow]

Fair enough

Do you want additional Sherman variants, or is that best suited for another thread?

[tranquil remnant]

I'm open to anything.

Also, a dozer demolition Sherman. Has a 105mm and (obv) a dozer.

[twilit snow]

Sherman dump proposal it is!

T33 Demolition tank. A M4 variant using the Chaffee's gun and a coaxial flamethrower

The T35 is a prototype of the M10, and superficially looks like a standard Sherman with an open topped turret

[tranquil remnant]

M4A3 with additional 89mm of UFP, and 76mm additional side armor.

[twilit snow]

Two separate 40mm Bofors armed SPAAGs, the T36 and T52

[twilit snow]

If memory serves, that's actually the Jumbo test vehicle

[tranquil remnant]

That was indeed one of them

[twilit snow]

Two variants of the T53 90mm SPAAG

[drowsy trout]

give more shermans

M4 Heavy armor mockup.

[tranquil remnant]

I thought the T53s were supposed to be AT, not SPAAG?

[twilit snow]

The T53E1 was definitely a SPAAG. Look at those outriggers

[shrewd kettle]

This would be a cool one too have, although it has 3 degrees of GD right? Which would be pain...
But MORE Sherman's can't hurt, its like having more Pandas

[tranquil remnant]

Probably?

[shrewd kettle]

I always remember seeing that Sherman and was like

[tranquil remnant]

Given how little is known about it, numbers could be increased

[twilit snow]

T31 Demolition tank
The centre barrel is a dummy, but it had two 183mm rocket launchers

It appears that when the US was converting some M4A3s very late war to Firefly standard, at least one was made from a M4A3 with HVSS.
Attached is a fire support vehicle based on a M4A3 HVSS and a Firefly turret, although I have no idea if the tank was ever a Firefly at some point.

I’d really like the Chilean Sherman with the 60mm

[small compass]

Do not touch my flamethrower line dont you even dare

[twilit snow]

Sherman POW

😡

[small compass]

just saying, I was cooking for some time

Patton and Pershing flame is somewhat fake-ish but a flamethrower box was installed next to the hull on it's right side, but probably will scrap that line
the collored one is the real deal and yes its basicly the T67 Zippo but different hulls and a proto version build before the T67 Zippo came out

Sherman

A Finnish proposal for the IDF in 1953 for a 75mm armed Sherman. The new gun, the 75 k/44, used the same ammunition as the 75mm Pak 40.

[zinc swan]

Well its an A3 or brit sherman 3 yeah

[tranquil remnant]

This one interests me the most tbh. Its so dumb, and barely even does anything other than massivly weigh down the vehicle.

[thorny mesa]

Where's the Star Trek Sherman?

[tranquil remnant]
