The Sherman tank is the quintessential definition of "Enough". It has enough armor, enough mobility, enough speed, and enough firepower. Adding in the stabilizer, and you've got something that in the right hands will CLAP the enemy. And then, of course, you're gonna have a line-up of like 5 of them.

@evernewb2073

9 ай бұрын

well, I mean, the entire point of the real-world version was that they made "enough" of them...a couple times over. seriously though there are SO many "different" kinds of shermans that basically amount to attachments for different jobs that there are more kinds of shermans than many countries had kinds of tanks total and that's just counting the ones that actually got production lines let alone the grunt mods. they made so many different shermans because if you made a tool for a specific job you _might_ get 1 of them but if you made it a modular mod to slap onto a sherman base you'd get 5 and probably even have the shermans to mount them on because the primary stopgap on production of anything for America at the time was setting up tooling and a production line so it kinda _was_ easier for them to make another 5-10 shermans than to make 1 of something else.

@user-wc8fp4jz4w The performance difference is definitely noticeable though. Better suspension and engine gives the tank a much smoother acceleration, allowing it to be far more opportunistic, the turret armor is very strong to the point it can repel Panther shots and the hull is surprisingly durable when you use it in a hulldown position. Though I do agree it should be 5.3 instead, but I'd only accept that if they bring the T-34-85 down to 5.3 aswell.

Back when the 76 could only penetrate 125mm it was pretty awful grinding through US rank 3. Eventhough i had above 2kd in the M18 i still found it incredibly frustrating to play when a tiger 1 at any range could've angled and won every time (not anymore now), so i bought the prenerfed T29 and skipped every sherman that wasn't the M4A1, M4, and the M4A1 76.

Dude I've been playing this tank all week and I don't know why I haven't been playing for the last 8 years. It is just awesome. Yeah slow but goes anywhere and kills. It's like a long lost friend. I average 5 to 10 kills every game. Beautiful tank simply beautiful

I have always adored the M4A1 w76 Sherman, just the blend of agility and general flexibility to what you can do with it makes it so much more fun compared to the counterparts of the T-34-57/85 and the Pz.4 H (when it was at 4.7 ages ago). Not to mention the M4A1 chassis seems to be snappier for acceleration versus the M4A2 variant in regards of just straight line speed and turning.

The snail has heard you so the tank will be moved to 7.0

I remeber watching you play this before I got into Warthunder in one of your older videos and gave it a try. I can proudly say that the M4A1 76 really made me love the game, especially with the combo of my first ace tank in the M36.

I personally have known about this tank for a while. It’s so good in my opinion that I have an entire lineup based around it and the T 14.

Couldn't agree more on everything you said Odd. I actually watched your last vid on this tank a year or so ago and proceeded to grind the US tech tree just to play the M4A1 76W (previously a UK and China tech tree player) It's currently my highest KDR tank in the game, highest earning vehicle and highest number of matches.

When I first started using this tank (I hated it, racking up a K/D of 0.9) When I learned how to play this tank (particularly as a flanker, and support). It caused ABSOLUTE Carnage (nearly at a K/D of 2.0) I always use it with T1E1 at 5.0(which is even more ridiculous) and its FUN🤤

last Time i saw you play this was that one story video and since then I got the tank and have over 3000 kills with it. Loved the story vid and I already know I'm going to love this one

Bawz you are preaching to the choir on the stabilizer and 76W gun. I have more issues with the 76 sherman in lower tiers than any other

I have no idea why, but I like the look of this cast hull sherman over the welded ones.... I use this variant in my 5.3 line up, it still fits perfectly.

You need to play the 8.0 OF40(Italy) it is the same BR as the leopard 1 but has more horsepower, funkier turret armor, pretty good suspension...... oh yeah...... it has it laser rangefinder too.

I like how you can pair this one with the other two Sherman '76 (the non-Jumbo ones with the different hulls, slightly higher BR ) and get a helluva lineup for ground RB. Take out the higher BR ones first (adjust play-style slightly to higher BR, and have a good backup that packs the same punch as your main vehicle, albeit with worse armour. Never been much of a Sherman player, but ones I unlocked and spaded the '76 (non-Jumbo ones) A fun go-to lineup for me, for when I out of it a bit and other line-ups/BR's don't treat me well.

Love the 76 Shermans, great tanks. Though, in my opinion, the Jpz 4-5 is more lethal for its br. You should check it out!

The m4a3 105 recently got moved up to 3.0 but it still rocks and is still my favorite tank to play in war thunder its got that extra cheeky front armour and i think you should really play it for a video

"That man needs to be sponsored by WD-40, ASAP." - OddBawZ, August 30, 2023

Came back to this video because I finally started my tank grind after watching Phly and thinking I'd have a good time with it. I was wrong at first, and it's still a challenge to learn, but I am improving. Finally getting to rank 3, and you guys were right, it went to 5.0 lmao.

The funny thing about the 76mm is that it’s really the same diameter as the 75mm but the gun was designed to fire rounds with a much larger cartridge to achieve the higher velocity needed to penetrate thicker armor.

I've been having gut pain all week, Odd's videos are a great distraction and de-stresser. o7

Can't wait for this tank to have a br increase solely because of OddBawZ here. Seriously though good video again, Shermans are just such satisfying tanks to have fun with.

i remember playing one game on the map where C is a crash bomber on the cliff, got 24 kills in that match with the M4A176W! Even one of the enemy players ask me in a dm if i was restarting which funny enough, I was. 😁 Rebuilding my progress from console to pc, this is going to be fun!!!

Masterful game play as always!

Your the man oddbawz love your videos keep them coming . Can you do a video on the T80 UK

My favorite memory driving this tank was when a German player who lost 2 Tiger 1's and was actively looking for me in a Panther, was saying the M4 was OP. Complaining mostly about how it shouldn't have such an easy time killing a Tiger etc etc... I promptly disassembled his panther to the point he rage-quit. Brilliant.

This tank preeety much taught me to play ground rb; I used to just rush b and die like a ussr main

This along with the Cobra King and the T14...Perfect!

This tank was the first one I went from stock to spaded in SIM, I shot down a ju-87 with the main gun in SIM as well, one of my favorite memories in war thunder.

I really like playing the Churchill NA75. The thing is a beast if you can use the gun depression. I just play it like a TD when zoomed in. British Sherman 2 is fun also.

Yesss, this first 76 Sherman is so damn good. Normal games for me are about 7-10 kills. Highest of 15 without dying.

This has been my favorite tank so far as a new player in USA rank 3!! Let's gooooooo.

God damnit odd, now so many more people are gonna play it :( Ive been thinking for a while its been slept on.

The main problem with this tank is the side armor that wraps to the front. Anything down to even reserve tier can always pen you no matter your angle as long as they have roughly 40mm of pen. You have to hide the chassis entirely otherwise. I kill them all the time with an Ostwind from the front, often with just a single 37mm round.

Great video as always boss man, but I have to say, I'm INCREDIBLY disappointed to have found out Shed Fest isn't about sheds 😥

this video probably explains why ive seen so many of these this morning XD

Love the Sherman and love the k swapped e30

The main thing that makes the gun scary isn't the extra 1mm do the bore. No it the extra 5 feet added to the barrel length. Allowing for pretty much all of the primacord(the propellant in tank shells at the time) to fully burn.

tiger hunters! i first played the us tech tree for the classic wwii shermans, but expected hard times because of its "ronson" reputation. you can be an absolute menace with a balanced wwii american lineup. i ended up getting the m4a2/3, jumbo, m36b2, and m19a1(😈)👍

13k+ hours of WT excellence is one of the reasons I don't reinstall this game, but at least I get to watch the content.

One other bonus is the (W) represents wet ammo storage. Only the shell hit in the rack changes colour the risk of ammo rack is wayyy less

It weird watching Odd play my main lineup. XP55 w M4A1

Hey OddBawz, here's an enjoyable video idea: Play 1.3 USA (maybe with M8 Scot or the M8 LVT), with the TBD and F3F. Both of them have received some crazy buffs since your last video! You *need* to use the bomb sight, though, so that you don't dump energy getting super close. It makes your bombs really accurate. The TBD got insane new custom loadouts. It can take 3 x 500 lbs and 2 or 4 x 100 lbs bombs. Don't take 6 though, I've got 2,700 games in the TBD and trust me 6 will weigh you down and make you unable to deal with enemy planes. The F3F turns a hell of a lot better now, plus its bombs drop individually. Besides that, it outruns, outdogfights (beats I-15 by going vertical), and outclimbs every other biplane in the game, even the I-153 at a whole BR higher.

i’d say that this is my favorite sherman in the game. very capable and fun tank to play

Great content as always man. Any update for the car channel?
