its not WW2 and those arent japs. the (76W) wasnt used in the pacific. it was built to take on tigers, but that M4A3E8 is from the korean war.

It's an Easy-Eight (which we don't have) from the Korean War (which we can't have skins from).

Addidtional info- thats the 73rd Tank Battalion, much more well known for their tiger-marked M-26 Pershings than their Shermans, but they used both, as well as Chaffees. Some sources say the 89th TB, but they painted their with red devil faces, not tigers.

Was a great museum.  They have removed all of the tanks and that portion of the museum closed in September.  The entire tank collection is being trucked down to Georgia where in a few years a new museum will be built for Tanks and Cavalry, right next door to an Infantry Museum.  The base relocation and closing program is to blame.  They are consolidating all training.

Which has what to do with this discussion? And it was a Regiment, not a 'squad'.

i went there back in 2006 but dont remember seeing this paintjob on any of the shermans, i was deeply disapointed tho with how much graffiti was spraypainted on these historic tanks by immature kids. some were even stupid enough to write there full names on the side of some of them. i was jobshadowing an apache pilot for a school project
