About the M4A3 Sherman 105mm Howitzer

Excelling in both reliability and sheer production capability, the M4
Sherman series of tanks became the staple fighting-vehicles of the WWII
Allies. The first version to be produced, the cast-hull M4A1, was
succeeded by the welded-hull M4, the diesel engine M4A2, and finally the
most widely-known tank of the series, the M4A3. Three types of main
armament were used on the M4A3: on the initial production types, the
75mm main gun and on the subsequent types, the 76mm main gun for
heightened penetration. Finally, to provide heavy fire support for
assaults on enemy outposts, the powerful 105mm howitzer was later
adopted. The 105mm howitzer was carried in a M52 combination mount and a
vision cupola was fitted for the commander with a small hatch for the
loader. It could fire M1 shells at angles from -10 to +35 degrees at a
maximum range of 11,500m. About 500 of the M4A3 (105mm) were produced at
the Chrysler factory in Detroit from May to September 1944. From
September 1944 horizontal volute spring suspension was introduced on the
M4A3 (105mm) together with the wider center-guide T66 tracks. The M4A3
(105mm) were deployed to European Theatre from July 1944, and played an
indispensable role in the destruction of enemy positions by the U.S.
infantry fighting on the front lines.
