This was the first model of the Sherman series to mount the M1 76mm L/52 gun. Although it required some<br />
turret modification, (most notably the extension of the turret bustle), it was so far superior to the M3 75mm<br />
gun that it was designated to replace it on all further Sherman tanks (excepting only the 105mm howitzer<br />
armed support models). Once wet ammo stowage was introduced, this vehicle was modified to accept that<br />
option as well. 3,426 of this variant of the Sherman were built.<br />
Options: Hedgehog plow, Wet ammo stowage.
