The M4(105) Sherman was an effective medium range assault platform designed to take out fortified German positions and provide infantry support.

History
Later in World War Two the M4 and M4A3 were factory-produced with a 105 mm howitzer and a new distinctive mantlet in the original turret. The first standard-production 105 mm-howitzer Sherman was an M4 accepted in February 1944.
This variant of the Sherman was developed to get the firepower of the 105mm Howitzer into battle more easily. Although Shermans armed with 105 mm M4 howitzers provided even more powerful high-explosive armament, they were of limited use in fighting enemy tanks due to the problems of hitting the small targets with a howitzer, and the lack of power traverse which hindered getting the howitzers on target in a timely fashion.
