## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/sherman-firefly.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Sherman Firefly** is a Medium Tank, a British conversion of the American M4 Sherman that mounted the powerful **76mm QF 17-pounder** anti-tank gun to counter German heavy armour in 1944–45. It became one of the few Allied tanks capable of defeating the Tiger and Panther at long range. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 35.3 tonnes with a crew of four — driver, gunner, commander, and loader. The **Chrysler A57** multibank petrol engine delivers 425 horsepower (12 hp/t) for a top speed of 40 km/h.
The 17-pounder is paired with a coaxial **.30 cal M1919**; the commander’s cupola has a **12.7mm M2** with a stabilizer. Fire control is limited to a 3x telescope and a 1.44x periscope with no stabilizer on the main gun.
This vehicle features a single addon: **Trzyniec**. The Trzyniec addon costs 250 points and equips the Firefly with additional track segment armor across the hull and turret sides; this provides a modest increase in physical thickness and can help pre-detonate certain chemical rounds before they reach the main hull.
