Are there any WWII experts on the forum? - robkelk - 10-11-2022

I'm wondering exactly what this "WWII American Tank" is. (That particular digital-model store has a deep aversion to actually giving something its real-world name, which is usually justifiable because those are trademarks, but in this case makes no sense because it's a freaking public domain US Government name.)

I expect that there are enough promotional images for somebody who knows his (or her) tanks to be able to identify which kind of tank this is...

I think the most common US tank in WWII was the Sherman, but I'm nowhere near being an expert.

Similar to an Isreali Sherman?. The Gun Mantle is different from a Sherman Firefly.

Isreali? Not something I can use, then.

M4A3(76)W HVSS Sherman            2,617 produced by Detroit Tank Arsenal from July 1944 through April 1945

Oh, good - I can use it after all.

Thanks for the help!
