Char M4A3 is a French Tank unit.
Overview[]
The ubiquitous M4 Sherman medium tank evolved from the M3 Lee medium tank pressed into service as a stop-gap model in 1941. Designed by the U.S. Army Ordnance Department, the tank built upon proven technologies developed for American tanks of the 1930s, combining them with British experiences in tank design. The result was a versatile, reliable, and cheap tank much like the Soviet T-34.
The M4 entered service in late 1942, outperforming its older sibling in every aspect, the Sherman went on to become one of the most widely produced armored fighting vehicles of World War II. It was well armored, relatively fast, and cheap to produce, becoming the backbone of Allied armored divisions across the world and a major element of the Lend-Lease program for the Soviet Union. Nearly 50 000 tanks were produced before production ended in 1945 and were used across the world.
The M4A3(76)W sub-designation indicates an M4 Sherman model with the Ford GAA V-8 engine, a welded hull, and the superior M1 76mm gun for engaging enemy tanks.
2e Blindée may be the first combat user of M4A3(76) in Northeast Europe. American Third Army replaced the losses of Char M4A2 during the Normandy with about 20 Char M4A3(76).
