Historical Data and Usage

The M4A3(76) W Sherman tank was a product of American engineering and represented a development of the popular Sherman series. The "76mm" version stands out with the use of a long-barreled 76 mm gun, which provided significantly greater firepower than earlier models equipped with a 75 mm gun. The abbreviation "VVSS" refers to the classic Vertical Volute Spring Suspension system, widely used in most Sherman production. The designation "W" indicates the introduction of wet ammunition stowage, which provided better protection against fire in the event of being hit.
The M4A3(76) W Sherman was primarily used by the United States Armed Forces, as well as by Western Allied countries—it took part in combat operations from 1944 until the end of World War II, for example during the Battle of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge.
