The reason the Ram doesn't seem shermany is because it isn't. It's based on the M3 Lee (the designation is just missleading)

If you ever feel useless. remember, the TOG 2 has two machine gunners that stare at a wall.

Fun fact: Every nation in war thunder has at least one version of sherman. It's the only vehicle to do so.

The ikea sherman's hull machinegunner is actually an assistant driver. All sherman hull machinegunners are assistant drivers, manning the machinegun is just a secondary role. But gaijin is affraid of the term "assistant driver", and they name every "other" crewman a machinegunner

Fun fact: The M4A2 series was primarily used by the US Marines because it uses a unique diesel engine, which is useful since they largely cooperated with the Navy which used oil and diesel to fuel their ships. In fact, the Marines were extremely adamant in giving up their M4A2s when transitioning to the "Easy Eight" M4A3E8 at the war's end. This diesel engine also probably explains why the M4A2 is the only Sherman found in the Soviet Tech tree, due to Soviet tanks being based around diesel engines.

Super nitpicky note about the German Sherman - It has only been on sale a few times, closer to about once every three years. It was last for sale during the 10th anniversary in 2022, the German Unity Day celebration in 2020, the 5th anniversary in 2017 and the pre-order for ground forces in 2014.

I'd also toss the T14 into special mentions. While technically it is its own separate thing it really is just a wide sherman, and it plays like a lower BR Jumbo.

the m4a1 76 W was arguably the best tank in the whole game especially when it was still at 4.7

My favourite sherman is the Sherman firefly, that tank just has done me well. It keeps on kicking and doesn't complain. It takes out tiger H1's without too much of a kurfaffle and is actually one of the more pleasant gun platforms at that BR e.g. Avenger and Comet (bastards). Overall one of my most pleasant sherman experiences. 5.3 Jumbo was also my favourite thing to play for a while before it got moved up in BR, but jokes on gaijin, I was already playing it in my USA 5.7 lineup, and I STILL LOVE IT. It was the first tank I could play that could shrug off some of the german firepower and boy did I milk that thing for all it's worth, to this day it's still my most played tank.

I have the german sherman. I picked up both packs back in the day. My friends called me mad, but there was a idea behind the madness. Gajin allowed it into sim battles.... I played hundreds of matchs in sim in it, back where other nations other than allies, didnt have them. I got to fool sooo many people it was hilarious. I died more to friendlys that just had muscle memory to shoot rather than actual enemy players. It was really good times and a fond memories of mine.

Composite Firefly in F tier!?!?!? I'm flabbergasted. Utterly dumbfounded.

IMO the Tipo IC and VC are actually fairly decent as someone who's played them a lot as an italian main, although tbf they're the only fireflies I've played, but from what I can tell they aren't any less mobile than the equivalent IC and VC fireflies in any other tree the IC feels decently more mobile than the VC to me, being 4 or 5 tons less iirc, and at that BR cast hull or not you aren't stopping pretty much anything, so it really only makes a difference against autocannons. It also trades out the ammo rack in the hull next to the driver back for extra crew member, so it's back up to 5 crew rather than the 4 fireflies normally have, so it's actually MORE survivable in my experience Meanwhile the VC trades a bit of mobility, the extra crew member, and .3 BR, for the APDS, which is nice to have as a backup in case you run into anything really heavy or get uptiered, and tbh I find it can still do decent when used at a slightly higher tier due to the sabot

the italian VC APDS is very useful in uptiers as it can pen panthers and jumbos through the hull which the shot mk8 cannot do, rarely a one shot but if you aim on the right you'll always get gunner/driver and can finish it in a second shot

Italian firefly vc is prety good actualy the turret speed and the reload speed make it a monster oviusly is a sherman you never trust your own armor

The sherman is one of the most tanks of all time

I disagree on the Skink, Yes, it's completely overtiered (and went up even further recently), but it's one of the only SPAA that is able to survive most strafing runs. Granted, it's not the best SPAA, but far from the worst. Also, its hull MG actually works, which should put it in S tier regardless of anything else.

The sponsor💀💀💀

as a german main i love playing shermans , especially early ones because the armour is pretty good and you dont have to constantly think about angleing (ofc i know the sherman front armour is even better at a slight angle) my favourite sherman is the 105 sherman perfect counter to what i usually play.

I actually got the Captured M4 Sherman when Gaijin made it briefly available to buy on the console stores, extremely fun machine and occasionally in realistic and sim battles when nobody is paying attention you find yourself in hilariously situations like when enemy Shermans think you're one of them

My current (RB) kill record is 15 Kills in the 3.3 M4A1, the 50cal and stabilized 75 go though pretty much anything, I would put it in S tier

Probably because I played it before solid shot got nerfed, but I loved the firefly, I found it to be the perfect balance of mobility, armour and firepower at its BR. Now it’s likely to be facing Panthers and Tigers more often it might struggle

Completely agree with your list! Love the shout-outs to the planes as well

i don't think that the 105 is the king anymore.. now with it moving up to 3.0 it gets uptierd to 3.7 a bit to much, where it becomes very meh, also using the gun is quite tricky at times because of the traverse but also because of the shells it fires, the HE and HEAT are not one shot killers on just about any medium or heavy tank and with the long reload that will get you killed quite often. Still great tho, insane armor for the br and great speed and manouverability (for beeing bacicly a heavy at 3.0)

My favourite Sherman is the Trzyniec. It's the first tank I ace crewed. (The second being the tech tree firefly.) Can pen anything it faces frontally with the exception of maybe jagdpanzers. An Absolute monster with the turret traverse and reload speed.

BRUH THIS PREMIERS AT 3AM FOR ME 😢

M51 being so low is CRIMINAL

the only thing I don’t agree with here is the m4a2s placement, in my opinion its an easy S tier as it performs so well in CQC I’ve even gotten games where I get 15+ kills in one life.

I have the german sherman and I must say this tank is a lot of fun :D! Having the german 7,5 cm guns on YOUR side ( mostly ) makes the game way better ;D

“They’re an Invasive species.” - Some guy on Zenturion

Nice video man!

One of ur old videos u brought up American thermals for drivers on the styker and Bradley it’s because of the dve(driver visibility equipment) I was a Stryker driver in the icvva1 variant Stryker it has black hot, white hot, regular gauges, temperature gauges, and regular camera vision The 1128 has the 105 but the one I drove had a 50 cal mount and mark 19 mount for the rws ( remote weapon system) with the control screen having multiple reticles thermals and joystick for the weapon a charging button but had to manually reload the weapon after 100 rounds of 50 or 50 of 40mm Thought u would like the information it’s mine and my little brother favorite vehicle and are grinding for it love the stryker

First vid I see of this channel. Literally found it 20 minutes ago but that manscaped add. That tank covered in the bush reminding me of me balls. That deserves a sub.

I always find it questionable when good players play low br As a new player I want to learn the game and not be thrown in a pot with 10 lvl 100s and 4 lvl 5s

They recently upgraded the Italian m4 hybrid so it got much better front hull armor, even though it's cast and rounded. My favourite Sherman to play by now. Especially that it has a very effective Italian premium set up at the 3.7 br

The M51 is really fun to play and the HEAT shells can be a problem sometimes however 400MM of pen at any distance. Decent reload, turret traverse, mobility, and the protection can be ok.

The good point about the apds for the tipo is the ballistics as well, so take a few for long range shots.

Love the add mid video bro smooth transition

The Ram tank was built on a very old Sherman chassis. Originally named the Kangaroo, it actually didn’t come standard with a turret. It was an open-top personnel carrier. Used by Canadian ground forces during and even years after wwii.

Nobody is talking about the advertising, best ad i’ve seen in a while, good combo of comedy and just all around great information. Love it

Even with recent specials the FL10 isnt widely known either, so it's amazing to surprise lower mid BR players with a fast autoloader.

The monument on Normandy also works for the Germany kv-1 because it has some great turkey and frontal armor

Zoltan the apds is basically a secondary munition, like HE, so take a few like 6-8 for those up tiers when you run into heavier armor the Mk.8 might not be able to work against.

I love the tier list, although I do disagree with a few of your points. The biggest one being is how you add the FL10 but just a few moments prior say you won’t include things like the M4/T26 because it features another tanks hull.

M4A5 was just an american nameing system for Ram which is based on Grant tank which is M3 Lee

My favorite Sherman? Impossible decision. They’re all my favorite. The Sherman is the best tank of WW2. There’s no comparison

15:00 can confirm, a Sheman hull once ate my 128mm AP at center mass

It's funny how different the same equipment behaves for different players. Cause I find cast hull Shermans super survivable. So much so that I can regularly bounce panther 75's and tiger 88's. Another example is APDS; I get AMAZING results when they pen

the firefly at least for me has always been a monster. i continued using it until 6.7 when it got replaced by the tortoise. the 17 pounder for me has always been reliable even with apds on the Challenger.

love using the sherman II, such a meme

20:00 the jumbo 76 i have been very recently getting up-tiered to 7.0 and sometimes 7.3 it's to the point where I refuse to play it now

The easy 8 sherman is still.my favorite. Think its the m4a3e8 hvss. That 76 mixed with a stabilizer and upgraded suspension is just a chefs kiss imo

"But annoyingly,the are completely covered up by the trackarmour" That track armour also makes the IC Firefly into a VC,apparently^^

“It’s got gun depression like a Russian tank.” So none then.

I remember the German Sherman, back in the day when tanks first came out and I was genuinely intrigued with the game mode it was the only Sherman Oh how the game was different before it blew up

The French M4A1 with an auto loader is an absolute BEAST. I paired it with both EBRs and absolutely run lobbies.

which sher- do you -man. the title potential was right there mate

Gotta love the french jumbo. So much fun. We need a video like this but t-34s. Nevermind, Gai is the best one

I remember the good old day when us 4.7 line up used to be m4a1 76 w, jumbo 75 and m6a1 with the p47d28, trully a bygone era

M4a2 at least a tier good gun with stab solid mobility and trolly armor if you keep moving overall the sherman i most enjoyed just above the m4a3 76 and the m4a1

Honorable mention: M8A1 - The baby not-a-Sherman Just saying, if you take a Sherman cannon and stick it into a light tank... it's kind of a Sherman.

Israel Sherman was fun for me because in Alaska i learned that the turret could bounce king tiger shells

Easily the Premium Firefly followed by M4A2 (75) Ram ll , and M4A1 (76). the best tanks I’ve ever played. The non cast hull Sherman bounce SO many shells when you angle well and I can go on killing sprees. I love Shermans!

This man has the best ad transitions I’ve ever seen

The Soviet Sherman is great on maps where you can really use some gun depression. Its handy to have in the lineup. Still, my fav is the M4A1 at 3.3 BR.

The 3.3 M4A1 is possibly my favorite tank in the game right now, I would maybe place it S tier. It's such a capable tank, and the fact that it can go with the F6F (which just recently got even more powerful) is just brilliant, plus the M5A1 and M4A3(105) can hold their own at that br to fill out the lineup. The 105 used to be super OP and made 2.7 possibly the most fun, but it's still pretty good especially decked out with bumblebee stripes and fun decorations. I haven't played the higher rank USA Shermans as much in recent years but occasionally I do and am pleasantly surprised

We need more shermans. Especially for the different Hull Variants of the Fireflys, Sa-50s, Fl-10s, and ofc mah M4A3 and M4A2 75/76(W) HVSS

LMAO the sponsor! 🤣

4:44 its better if you go to settings and disable the adjust while braking thing. at least its down to one bounce, instead of the over adjustment and then re aim

my best sherman ive played in the entire game is the M-51, it is such a great vehicle at its BR and it's gotten me one time a almost 15 kill game!

17:20 That tank is the bane of existence for every Enlisted player who plays Axis Normandy.

Sherman are very fun to play in especially 105 Sherman

I think the m4a2 is a or a tier for me. With bushes and the track armor, you can almost play it as a heavy tank especially if you are angled to the right or left and are on a hill.

I think I might have seen you in a battle I was playing on the D-day map and I remember an M4 Sherman hiding behind the monument it kept popping out and shooting allies and then pulling back and so and that 1 map where you were did you end up getting killed by an SU122?

my favorate sherman is the m4a4 sa50 because of that penetration and of course i used the m4a4 to research into rank 4 because its so nice for a 3.7 edit: i took it up to 6.7 with the amx 13 and amx m4 before i got the french m26 since it has the same gun as the amx i was able to kill quite a few enemies with it

We need to admit, this is tyr video we all needed.

the tipo and VC are technically the same tank with one (the tipo) having an extra crew member

I frequently run the tech tree M51 and angle it. It is a menace, I have taken 4-6 shots with no damage while angling.

As British man I am here to say they yes, we do have the water on the front of our tank so we can make tea 🫖, because all we must do is use the boiler to heat up the water and the tea bags are kept inside for good measures

I got the yellow bumblebee camouflage one in the thumbnail. I opened 20 loot boxes. It got 3 cammo for vehicles I own. This was one. and 17 for vehicles I don’t own. Including planes which I don’t play

Him at the end:you must be a Sherman enthusiast. Me,a German main:💀

shouty man bit brings me back

LES GOOOOOOOO NEW SULTAN VIDEO!!!!!!! WE BALLING IT OUT WITH THIS ONE

Hands down my favorite sherman is the 76 Jumbo, I was never a fan of it's BR increase but whenever I get tired of playing top tier I go down to 6.3 and remind the german mains why the Jumbo is at 6.3. Such a fun tank to play tbh.

My absolute favourite of the sherman go to the jumbo both the 75 and 76 variant funny enough i actually use more apcr for the 75 jumbo than aphe since it can front pen an unangled tiger and go through panther turret at close to mid range and the 76 variant are just a field day until you meet an is-3 then you scream and hide

the US sherman lineup is really silly because right now there arent any shermans between BR 4 and 5

I got the M4 hybrid for free from the warbond Shop and I absolutely abused it to get through the first few ranks of italy.

my fav is split between m4a3 76 and T14 both are very nice looking and effective

Amazing video!!! You should do more of these!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Manscaped add was crazy💀💀💀

The manscaped ad gave me mad nostalgia for the Horrible Histories shouty man skits

This is why its so fun using the US tech tree at br 3 to 6. Have a problem? We have a sherman for that!

There was a Sherman you missed, the M4-T26. It is basically the US's equivilent to the Firefly, but with good depression, good turret protection, and APHE tho just like the Firefly, no stabilizer

R3 best all around tanks🤌 Eliminates every Sherman Can float Can fly Speed: YES

My time playing Chinese M4a1 w it's interesting I was fighting three heavy on hill where my hull was safe and I stay there till I ran out of ammo the problem was my pen and my range was lacking but it was funny seeing the confusion of the enemy tank until they released im a down tear tank and just advanced to me😅

I would like to see the M4A2E4 added to the game it had torsion bar suspension just to make it a unique variant as premium or as squadron vehicle

USA has the best 5.3 line-up. Jumbos (1 premium) & M4A2 (76) and M4A3. M4A2 & M4A3 hull armor is troll and bounces 88mm shells sometimes and the turrets are very strong hulldown. Jumbo has meme armor and can bully Tigers and Panthers, but will get rekt by IS-2s. You can also take the M18 at 5.3. I also have the Soviet M4A2 for a 5.3 line-up, but outside of the T-34-85 (D-5T) there's no other good 5.3 tanks for that kind of line-up anymore since they made the IS-1 5.7. The only problem I have with playing BR 5.0+ is the wait times are 2-3 minutes+ compared to BR 3.7-4.0 its literally instant.

When I play enlisted against Sherman’s I abuse weak spots on the Sherman like the left or right corner but I like to go left front corner with a Panzerfaust and one shot or two shot depending where the shaped charge goes

I’d have my S tier be the FL10, M4A1 76 and the Jumbo 76. I’ve had my best games in the jumbo 76, it’s a menace. The M4A1 76 also has very trolly armor on the turret and upper hull which helps.
