My dad was at Fort Dix, N J before he shipped out for England. He was involved in tracks tests. Only Sherman to power out of the pine barrens’ salt marshes was a radial, five cylinder diesel job. It was rejected because if the oil seeping into the bottom cylinder, wasn’t drained, it could bend the bottom connecting rod. Think of how many U S Tankers burned to death over these army officers’ decision to use Cadillac V 8 gas engines in our tanks in Africa and Europe?? The Israelis used Sherman’s with diesels and French Turrets with 100+ mm mIn guns, in the 67 Arab Israeli war, successfully.

M4 was so tall because the engine is in the rear and the transmission is in the front. The drive line between the two has to pass underneath the turret bustle. The fact that the M4 could be powered by a variety of power plants was a great strength. Also in the desert in Africa when the M4 was introduced the radial engine was a godsend. No radiators consuming limited water rations and the air the engine fan sucked in provided ventilation for the crew stuck in a metal box under the sun.

Radials always idle roughly. Watch the videos about WWII radial-powered fighters and you'll hear a similar sound. Since some of the cylinders are upside down (gravity working against fuel flow) and some are right-side up (gravity working in favor of fuel flow) a low RMPs there is always a tendency of rich mixtures in some cylinders and lean mixes in others. This evens out when the manifold pressure rises with higher RPMs.

At under 500 meters the Tiger could completely penetrate one Sherman and knock out another Sherman behind it.

The sound is amazingly satisfying!

Its a good thing I was warned about switching on my speakers or I would have gone on watching this without a clue as to why.

I also now see I kept the 75mm going instead of a 76mm.It is also notable that the Sherman platform seen conversions to alternate tanks such as the M10 Wolerine tank destroyer, and a mobile rocket launcher.The powers that be at the time were reuuctant to make any changes to Shermans,but necessity finally required it,and the Sherman really came through.Hard to imagine WW2 without a Sherman.

i learnt to drive a manual on one of those willys back when i was 14. it was an authentic ww2 willys that has serviced in north africa according to what the owner told me. it also had a bullet hole the size of a thumb behind the passenger seat, pressumably from an aircraft. it was a bit sketchy to drive on the road because the steering wheel had a lot of play but i managed to drive to a gas station and back home with it no problems. shifting gears was very easy and accurate. the clutch had a bit too much travel imo, like 15cm or somewhere around that. stepping on the gas didn't feel like you where going anywhere. i'd say it would take around to 20s to do 0 to 100kmh on that thing but it didn't go faster than 60 or 70kmh because 3rd gear was too short (it only had up to 3rd and reverse of course). off road that thing was absolutely NUTS. locking the differentials and engaging low transformed it into something completely different. mud? easy, near 25° uphill? easy, deep mud? sketchy but if i made it alive with no driving experience prior then easy as well. in fact it was so good the owner used it to tow cars that would get stuck on the mud or fall on the ditch (used to drain water on rural dirt roads) at the side of the road during rainy days, were the mud would get so slippery you can't even stand on it. same for cars and trucks. if you stopped, you would fall to the ditch nearly 100% of the times. oh, and the fuel tank was right under the driver seat and the cap leaked, so you would smell a fire hazard entire time lol

Majority of early war tanks in the Us Arsenal had radial engines, m5a1, m6a1, and the m4a2. The A3 variant tanks had Diesel engines.

Sounds surprisingly similar to a CV9030 (served as a commander of one of those in the Finnish army), even though the engine is totally different.

the old m4 sherman tank sound great very nice old tank.

Nothing beats a Sherman tank with that radial roar

My dad drove Shermans and Ram tanks(Canadian design using M3 components. Radial engines were used because of the limited number of engines with enough horse power. The Radials were air cooled which meant being in a tank driving one would cook you . The later sherman he drove had a multi bank crysler engine which he seemed to feel was ok.

There were bigger tanks, faster tanks, far more heavily armed tanks, and far more heavily armoured tanks during WW2. But the Sherman was the undoubted all-round workhorse that so much helped to win the war.

Might be a little bit to late for a comment but still. Well with the recon troops, scour cars, grasshopper recon planes, photo recon planes and light recon tanks always driveing ahead of the Shermans and scouting every bush, tree, barn, building, trench and hill the sherman crew realy did know when their head could be potentialy cut of by a 88 and they also knew exactly where the 88 was standing while the 88 didnt know where the Shermans where. Complete air supiriority is realy powerfull in war.

Wilco Wortel wasn’t the battle field full of Tigers just slaughtering 50,000 Sherman’s too?

Ohhhh man! What a sound! "It must be a REALY BIG Tank" ... And than comes a M4... What a Show...

I had a 55 Olds that sounded just like that. Thanks for that memory.

Favourite tank

Can you just imagine being there back in WW2 and hearing a battalion of tanks coming in, god some of the stuff our grandparents and great grandparents would’ve went through back then

Sounds awesome. Like freedom. Much respect from Canada

Video quality is better than other Video uploaded on KZread 9 year ago.

Not knowing a lot about Sherman’s, I was really stunned to find that some of them had radial engines, but logical, saved space without sacrificing power!

Shermans had all sorts of engines, look it up youll be amazed of all the engines they used

it didnt save space, actually, it was a bodge to make sure they could use excess engines from the aircraft manufacturing. it made the sherman really high, the driveshaft had to make a bend to accomodate it.

Sounds like my dodge with a Cummins in it trying to start her up when its -5 degrees outside

What a beauty the sherman 76s are

The Ronson never fails to light!

Ah, so this is what Bo screams about when he crashes his planes...

Since that video, i love those engines sounds

Love that sound. Best music on KZread.

When you have too many plane engines

Sounds great when it's lugging a little.

The Sherman tank engine is powered by 20 squirrels inside the engine bay.

Man, I love that sound!

Brilliant camouflage. **Rolling slowly into enemy positions** Karl: "What iz dat noize?" Hans: "It zeems to be a zome zort of zquirrel. No need to worry, Karl."

I know it's a radial but it sounds more like a V8 to me.

More like a V9...

Outstanding! Fantastic, thank you so much!

The gun barrel seems pretty long for a regular Sherman... Is it fitted with the 17 pounder?
