M4 Sherman
Service History: Saw major action in both fronts of WWII. Proved to be a war winning tank, due to the fact American war industry could pump out Shermans faster than any nation in the world could pump out their front line Medium Tank. The Sherman later saw service in Korea, where it came up against the T-34, which it was found to be horribly ineffective against. The M4 Sherman was eventually phased out of service in main NATO nations by the late 50's, but saw service in the Middle East up to the mid 1970s in the form of gun carriages, and assault guns.

I still se the dreaded "stairs" effect on the voxel, but it looks good otherwise, as does the cameo. Smile

There is a way around it, just gotta hand-paint the normals. It's hard but possible.

Yeah, ya gotta be good to get a reward out of the time put into it. Shermans are green but it looks bleh in the regular, too bright green, so it was dark Soviet schemed.

The brown scheme you are seeing can be found in Shermans as well.

Hmm..From what I know, the Super Sherman never saw any significant service and was not manufactured in numbers.

However, the possiblilty of adding a Six-Days War scenario is pretty good. The Arab Israeli conflicts involved a lot of tank combat.

Count me in. Smile
It'd be cool to have a scenario like that. I wanna start working on that and the Cuban Missile Crisis scenario.

well not talking in the bad way but americans for some reason always are hidding things from the reality in war aspects. yes there was a super sherman and the designs for building it they were sold to the israel side and they produced it. remember they had only some m5, m7 tanks too old for the time when caliber thing mattered also they designed the grat merkava wich was nothing against the perfect isof stalin 3 with its 122 mm gun able to sustain nuclear wars and lots of anty tank weaporny. israel also used other tanks in the golan heighs where just taking that terrain was the obkective. some like a tank wich was the last tank designed until the abrahms i guess. since for american i just know until the vietnam war where there was just patton and m113 along with others. for cubban i herd there were some is3. i once bought a pin wich was a russian pin given to the cuban crew of a tank divition or something
