Soviet Sherman
« on: November 17, 2024, 09:27:12 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding the info for this skin.

This Lend Lease 76mm Sherman was used by the Soviet Army's 8th Mechanical Corps as they pushed into Germany in 1945. It was decorated with a slogan that translates as "Russians Have Always Beaten Prussians!" The 8th were one of three Soviet Corps equipped with the diesel-powered M4A2 variant of the Sherman. The Red Army liked the tank's reliability but disliked its high silhouette. They also found that with one of its two diesel engines turned off it could sneak up quietly to the front lines on its rubber tracks and catch the enemy by surprise.
