M4A3(75)W / M4A3(105) Sherman

The first run of M4A3 tanks were small hatch tanks made by Ford, most were used in the USA for training, and many never saw combat. Some were rebuilt and sent to Europe to help make up for higher than expected tank losses after the Normandy Campaign. These are the rarest version of the M4A3 Sherman in Europe, but they are pretty common around the Midwest USA as monument tanks.

The M4A3(75)W had a 75mm M3 gun, 47° glacis with large driver hatches. It shifted ammunition lockers to hull floor in water-glycol jacketed lockers to decrease risk of fire, known as “wet stowage”. A total of 2,420 were build between February and December 1944, and an additional of 651 being built as M4A3(75)W HVSS between January and March 1945.

The M4A3(105) had an 105mm howitzer used for infantry support. A total of 500 were built between May and September 1944, and another 2,539 being built as M4A3(105) HVSS between September 1944 and June 1945.
