# M4A2 Sherman

Role
: Medium Tank

## [General information](/md/mtc/vehicles/m4a2-sherman.md#general-information)

Description
: The **M4A2 Sherman** is a Medium Tank powered by a twin-diesel engine pack, developed for the U.S. Army and widely used by the U.S. Marine Corps and supplied to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. The M4A2’s **GM 6046** diesel gave better range and reduced fire risk compared to gasoline Shermans. It weighs 32.5 tonnes with a crew of five — driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, and loader — and is tracked. The **GM 6046** develops 410 horsepower for 12.6 hp/t and a top speed of 47 km/h.
Armament consists of the **75 mm M3** gun with HE and AP ammunition, a coaxial **.30 cal M1919**, a cupola **12.7 mm M2**, and a bow **.30 cal M1919**. The gunner, commander, and bow turrets have stabilizers; the gunner uses a 3x telescope and a 1x/6x periscope.
