Product Description

[Real car commentary]
-The M4A1 was the first mass-produced type of M4 Sherman with many 75mm guns. It was equipped with the same aircraft star engine as the M4, and the entire upper part of the car body was cast.
-The early M4A1 was equipped with the same initial vertical suspension as the M3 medium tank and a direct-view visor in front of the driver's seat. To counter the German African corps, the M4A1 direct-view visor type was deployed to the British army in North Africa as soon as mass production began, and it was introduced to the El Alamein game in October 1942, contributing to the reversal of the situation.
-Following this, it was also deployed to the US Army and introduced as the main force of the US Army in the next November Torch Operation.
-This was the first time the US army had experienced direct combat with the German army after landing.
-Despite many sacrifices, the US military gained various experiences in this battle.
-As a result, the direct-view visor proved to be a weak point of defense, abolished this, a new type of vertical suspension suspension with spring reinforcement appeared, and the M4A1 also moved to the mid-term type.
-The direct-view visor that survived the match against Tunisia participated in the battles on Sicily and the mainland of Italy, and continued until the end of the war.
