The M4 Sherman, formally Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank
used by the United States during World War II. The designers

Tank Destroyer The latter allowed accommodation of a more
powerful gun than could be mounted in a turreted tank on the same
chassis, and increased the vehicle's internal volume, allowing for
increased ammunition stowage and crew comfort. Eliminating the
turret also allowed the vehicle to carry thicker armor than would
otherwise be the case M18 Hellcat SU-85 Jagdtiger Archer 4

Heavy Tanks Tiger Ausf. E While the Tiger I was feared by many
of its opponents, it was over- engineered, used expensive and
labour intensive materials and production methods, and was time-
consuming to produce. Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and
August 1944. Tiger II Ausf. B Number built492 Number built1,347

Churchill The origins of the design lay in the expectation that
war in Europe might be fought under similar conditions to that of
the First World War and emphasized ability to cross difficult
ground. Number built7,368 The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a
