| M4 SHERMAN 105mm HOWITZER History: History of the Sherman M4 105mm Howitzer The prototype of the M4 nicknamed the “General Sherman” by British troops was designated the T-6 and appeared in September 1941. This medium tank would go on to be one of the most important pieces of armor in WW II. Its production number of approximately 55,000 of all versions was only surpassed by the Soviet T-34 57,000 of all its versions. At production start up 1,000 units a month came off the assembly line with that number increasing to 2,000 per month when all 11 plants were up and running. In one version or another the “Sherman” would see action in all theaters of operation throughout WW II. Since there wasn’t any other tank available in any great numbers the M4 was tasked to do jobs that it was never designed for. Tamiya is behind this R/C M4 Sherman, authenticity in scale, body detailing, and working suspension goes without saying. Acoustic authenticity is also high on the score sheet, through the digitally recorded sounds of a real Continental R975-C4 9-cylinder engine, which roars from the bowls of the tank as it runs. And speaking of the running, you will be able to recreate all the speed and nimbleness of the full-sized M4 Sherman with state-of-the-art R/C technology. All the power of the real Continental radial engine can be experienced on Tamiya's new R/C M4 Sherman tank. Listen to the deep start-up sound followed by throaty idling, and then hear the auto-choke activate as the engine kicks over. As you put the tank through its paces, the sound of the engine changes, just like the real M4 Sherman. Firing of the cannon, machine gun, raising/lowering of the cannon, etc.-all the action is linked with sound for an unbelievably realistic tank experience. Suddenly, you are the division commander all the power of the legendary U.S. tank is at your fingertips! | |
