M4A1(76)W E8 HVSS Sherman - Walkaround - Saumur Tank Museum.
Production of the M4A1 tank began in February 1942
after the British placed an order,
it would have had a cast nose,
turret and a one-piece cast hull, with a 75mm cannon.
And was manufactured by Lima Locomotive Works.
These tanks were designed on British specs and was fitted
with the Continental R-975 air-cooled radial engine.
The M4A1 would be replaced on December 1943,
by the M4A1(76) W,
which received a more recent 76 mm M1 main gun,
A new turret with a new commander cupola
featuring 6 prismatic vision blocks and
a new modernized Continental R975-C1 engine.
Additional armor plate was often welded in front of the driver
and co/driver’s position at the front of the tank and
at the side to give them greater protection.
Later version would be identical to the M4A1(76)W, but
had the E8 Horizontal Volute Suspension System.
The Horizontal Volute Suspension System was developed
to reduce Ground Pressure and keep up with the
Shermans additional weight.
The HVSS system had a much wider 23 inch track, but still
remained a bolt on module.
It could replace the VVSS suspension on any version of the
Sherman or anything based on its hull.
It was very well received and used on many
late production Sherman models
and a few of the variants. It solved the flotation
problem with no drawbacks.
The M4A1(76) Sherman HVSS was a pretty successful
vehicle and had an efficient gun.
After the war, it would be used by countries
like The Netherlands and
France.
This Sherman has no recorded history.
It was named after aM4A2 Sherman named Uskub.
this French Sherman tank knocked out several
Nashorn tank destroyers on January 26, 1945
in the town of Grussenheim.
