During World War 2 the German armoured forces were equipped with the Pz. Kpfw IV 75mm long barrel main gun, and the heavy Pz.Kpfw V "Panther" and Pz.Kpfw VI "Tiger" tanks appeared, the American 75mm The armour penetration of the m3 gun was insufficient. In order to solve this problem, a T23 tank turret was tested on the M4 with a 76mm M1 long barrel gun and an M62 mantlet. Mass production of M4 tanks with T23 turrets ran from January 1944 to April 1945 and continued until April 1945. All Sherman tanks with 76mm guns were designated "76". The M4A3E8 is the last type of Sherman. It can be said to be the outstanding work of its time. The balance of various capabilities is very good. It had improved the balance of firepower, armour, and mobility, which is comparable to the Russian T-34/85 and other Russian T-34/85 variants and comparable to the German Panther.
