M4 Sherman was developed as the successor of M2 and M3 tanks, but used many components of M2 and M3 tanks. First of all, he used only a slightly modified chassis of the M3 Lee car.

Two sub -versions were created based on the M4A3 version: reinforced armored M4A3E2 JUMBO and HVSS and 76mm M4a3e8. An interesting development version was the T34 Calliope with mounted missiles that were not directed to the turnet. M4 Sherman was also supplied to the British and Red Army. The first one, based on this, developed a version of Firefly with a great 17 liblik tank ball ball.
