On October 23, 1942, the M4 Sherman medium tank first saw combat in the North African campaign, at the Second Battle of El Alamein. The British were the first to receive these American vehicles to use them against Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
Although the Sherman was inferior in armor protection and firepower to the later German Tiger Is and Panthers, its ease of production and reliability played a key role in the Allied victory. The first combat results in Africa proved that the M4 would become one of the main tanks of the Second World War.

The track armor on the camo might not work yet, but the developers are working on it (this also applies to the M14/41’s camo from the UK vs Italy event).
Justing saying, for the first battle of the M4 Sherman, it would better if it is a skin for Sherman 75mm than 76mm.
At least it is not like warthudner, German captured La5 for La5 anniversary.
but speaking of shermans, and an event dedicated to them,
would have been far greater to have getten an actual sherman.
and more precisely, the sherman Easy eight.
since… you know.
it’s in the editor ( even though requires some fixing as the turret doesn’t actually turn. but developers would figure something like that… right ? ) taking dust
