M4A4 (Early) | Operation Overlord

THIS CREATION REQUIRES ASHIK'S "CUSTOM COMBAT BRICKS" MOD! MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND WHO YOU PLAY WITH HAVE IT IN YOUR MODS FOLDER!

Information

This tank is the oddball of Sherman tanks. It had a welded hull and used the A-57 Multibank motor. A tank motor made from combining five car motors on one crankcase. As complicated as this sounds, it was produced in large numbers and was reliable enough to see combat use, though not in American hands in most cases. It turns out this version of the Sherman served with more nations than any other version! These include Britain, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Czechoslovakia, India, China and the USA, all used this tank in combat at some point. For a tank the US Army didn’t want, it had an excellent combat record, with the nations that got stuck with it.

This specific model depicts an M4A4 as it would've been seen on the frontlines during Operation Overlord in 1944.
