Because of its versality it was the mostly produced and modified tank of the west block.
But it wasn’t a good tank.
It’s a great medium tank, especially if you play against the same tier tanks.
Sadly, the system can throw you even against tier VII.
M4 Sherman has pretty decent armor.
But its not the armor that is the main advantage if this tank.
It’s his mobility and the 105mm gun, that deals 410 damage.
On the battlefield this tanks role is to support heavy tanks and destroy less armored enemy tanks.
First, most important thing is to develop 105mm cannon.
At the end develop level VI cannon, which will be useful in the next vehicle, Sherman Jumbo.
Then,brothers in armsfor the entire crew.
Avoid the bottom of the vehicle.
The armor has real thickness of about 100mm there.
The turret is similarly easy to pierce.
Shoot mostly at the commander hatch.
Avoid shooting at other parts of the turret, which are well angled.
…as the driver of M4 Sherman?
When playing as Sherman you should keep as close to the frontline as possible.
Your gun is useful only on the smallest distance.
But staying at the frontline doesn’t mean a frontal assault.
You have only 400 hit points, which isn’t much.
You should stay behind cover, riding out only to shoot.
Avoid direct confrontation with enemy.
Aim at weaker armored parts of enemy vehicle, if possible at his sides or back.
Damage depends on the thickness of armor at the point where bullet hit.
…against M4 Sherman?
Avoid shooting at enemy that is well angled, thanks to that virtually every shot should penetrate enemy armor.
If you play with a less armored vehicle avoid Sherman at all cost.
Quickly retreat behind better armored allied tanks.
Otherwise give a shot to keep enemy at distance.
The longer the distance, the less effective his gun is.
