Would this be an M4A1 HVSS(76)?
What differentiates the M-1 Super Sherman from this tank, or are they basically the same?
- JeffStringerI was under the impression that it was more properly known as the M4A1E8 Sherman.
BTW ... any additional pictures of the rear end? Yours came out so clear and clean looking! Nice camera work.
- ChrisCDidn't the A1 and A3 designation have less to do with the hull, and more to do with the engine? A1's were radial and A3's were GAA V-8's?
- clausbIIRC the "E8" was reserved for the HVSS prototypes (M4E8, M4A1E8, M4A3E8 and M4A3E8) while the production models did not officially carry that label, being M4A1 76mm Gun, Wet Stowage, HVSS or something like that, M4A1 (76)W HVSS in abbreviated form.. They are commonly known as Easy-Eights, but I dont think that designation (or the E8 appendix) was ever put in a manual or stamped on the tank or its dataplate.
