Who was General Sherman?
ExpandWilliam Tecumseh Sherman served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Opinion is split on Sherman among historians. To some, he was a mentally unstable, heavy-drinking barbarian who waged war on enemy troops and civilians alike. Others paint him as a professional soldier who spared civilians and sought to end the bloody Civil War by any—and all—means necessary, ensuring future generations would never wish to wage it.
A graduate of the famed West Point Military Academy, Sherman gained notoriety for his "hard war" approach. As his armies conquered land, they would burn buildings and plantations, destroy railroads and forests, seize food and livestock—in short, remove anything the enemy could use to wage or support war. These tactics took a psychological toll on civilians and eroded their support for the conflict.
Sherman's tactics were put to full use during his famous November–December 1864 "March to the Sea." After torching almost half of the city of Atlanta, Georgia, he led an army 285 miles east to the coastal city of Savannah, destroying and raiding along the way. The destination city, however, remained untouched and was presented to President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift. Scorched-earth tactics were used in the subsequent march north to Charleston, South Carolina, in early 1865. In April, Confederate forces surrendered, and the bloodiest war in American history ended.
British World War I veteran and noted historian B. H. Liddell Hart claimed that Sherman was a master of the "indirect approach" to warfare. It works when an army is mobile, fluid, and can strike and exploit enemy weaknesses whenever they appear. Hart penned several books on warfare strategy and believed World War II commanders studied and were influenced by his analyses of Sherman's tactics. American General George S. Patton as well as German Generals Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommel were mentioned for using the Civil War general's tactics—albeit with mechanized armor.
Ironically, the M4 Sherman tank line replaced the M3 Lee, named after Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

M4A1 FL 10 Offers
Here's another non-American adaptation of the M4. The
VI
M4A1 FL 10
combines the classic American Sherman hull with the French autoloading AMX-13-series turret in one unique and effective package. It benefits from good mobility, featuring a 48 km/h top speed and 43 degree/s traverse speed. The four-round autoloader cannon can unleash an average 540 HP of damage per clip in just 5.25 seconds. It also has a short aiming time of 2 seconds, with 148/186/38 mm of penetration. Throw in good accuracy and a 370 m view range, and it can provide fire at mid-to-long range while keeping its weaker armor safe.

M4 Improved Offers
The American M4 Sherman is one of the most iconic tanks in history, but the
V
M4 Improved
is slightly different. Its angled hull and turret armor help deflect incoming rounds, and it's ready to strike back with a powerful 75 mm cannon and fast rate of fire. Thanks to a more powerful engine than the standard M4, the Improved is a very fast and maneuverable tank, perfect for flanking adversaries. There is truth in advertising!
