M4A1 Sherman (early) - Desert

The Sherman was a medium tank used extensively throughout World War 2. Designed by the United States and put into service by most allied armies, the vehicle had quite a few versions, with a diversity of cannons, including the 75mm, 76mm, and 105mm. This model represents an early M4A1, identifiable by the rounded case hull, with sand skirts and other desert modifications. Vehicles in this configuration were used during the 2nd Battle of El Alamein.

In Armored Advance:
In games of armored advance, the Shermans role changes considerably depending on the time period and location being played. The vehicle has passable armor with a gun that can engage lighter targets successfully and moderate mobility. Against early war vehicles, such as the Panzer III and earlier panzer IV variants, the vehicle can be used as a pseudo-heavy tank, having the armor necessary to defend against less powerful cannons, while having some punch on its own. In later war matches however, the armor and 75mm gun become quite inadequate against the "big cats", and the playstyle must be shifted to a more supporting role while the tank destroyers and up gunned Shermans do most of the anti-tank work.
