Still amazed we don’t have this. It’s such an easy vehicle to add, considering it’s a copy-paste. Come on Gaijin, this suggestion has been around since the old forum. All that’s needed is:
+1 i am a fan
+1 but I think your images may be broken.
+1, we really need a welded hull Sherman, one with a 75mm gun at 3.7, in the UK tree.
Criminal how few Shermans the British have. Get this added
funny how there is a Sherman V in basically every minor nation besides from the UK
Bumping this - Italian, Western Europe and Burma campaigns all had the MKV in use by the British. It should definitely be in the tech tree.
The odd thing is there are a few in game with some of the minor nations, each one was sourced from Brit stocks, we were the primary operator of the type XD
I beg of Gaijin not to make this a premium for the UK tech tree. After all, it’s the most widely used British Sherman variant. If they need a premium Sherman for the UK, the Sherman III would be a better choice IMO.
France has both the M4A1 and M4A4 in its ground tree, so hopefully the UK will get a similar treatment.
If they had to add a premium/event version of a Sherman to the British tech tree, the Sherman III DD or Sherman V DD would be a good candidates for that.
Agreed. Though they seem more suited as limited-time event vehicles rather than something sold as a GE premium. Just my two cents.
What about the Sherman’s with tulips? Those should make good premium Sherman’s.
The DD scream a d-day event vehicle tbh, like they did with the avre ;)
As you say, they would probably be better as event vehicles.
While initially i was thinking, that they would just be the same as the regular Shermans, just with some cosmetics such as the propellers and the canvas screen. But when i thought it through, I think they would actually have an advantage over the regular versions, because of the canvas screen when folded down, will cover the hull MG port, can help deal with tanks that have to go for weak points to deal with the Sherman frontally.
I would love to see a Sherman Vc tulip.
Couldn’t actually find images of a Sherman Vc Tulip, only Sherman Ic Tulip.
This could make for a great premium vehicle, similar to the Cromwell V armed with Tulips. Alternatively, it might work well as a distinctive modification unlock for all tech tree British Shermans to emphasize they are unique and different from the American Shermans, best to be used as the main selling point.
Exactly this. I have a feeling this could be the Sherman DD this time.
And don’t forget. This Sherman variant can actually float in water of virtually any depth, as long as sea conditions aren’t too rough, but you cannot shoot back when the screen is deployed.
Aye, but the yanks still managed to sink most of theirs on D Day, hence why they had a bad time XD
I don’t know if i want a Sherman DD or a Valentine DD the most.
