USA M4A3(75) Sherman Green Metal 1/16 Scale Battle Tank - RTR from Mato - MAT1230-002

The M4A3(75) Sherman Tank was a key variant of the United States' iconic M4 Sherman, serving as the backbone of Allied armored forces during World War II. Introduced in 1942, the M4A3(75) was equipped with a 75 mm M3 gun, capable of firing high-explosive and armor-piercing rounds, making it effective against both enemy infantry and lightly armored vehicles. Powered by a Ford GAA V8 engine, the M4A3 offered improved reliability and performance compared to earlier models. It featured a welded hull and 51-76 mm of frontal armor, providing moderate protection against German anti-tank weapons. Its standardized VVSS suspension and relatively lightweight design, at approximately 31 tons, allowed for excellent mobility across many types of terrain, providing a crucial advantage for offensive operations.

The M4A3(75) Sherman excelled in versatility, simplicity, and ease of mass production, with thousands deployed in theaters such as North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. However, its armor and firepower were often outmatched by German tanks like the Panther and Tiger, necessitating tactics that leveraged superior numbers and coordination. Despite its vulnerabilities, the M4A3(75) played a pivotal role in securing Allied victory thanks to its adaptability and logistical superiority.
