The M4 Sherman in Company of Heroes is an up-armored M4A3 model, given its performance against the Panzer IV H tank of the Wehrmacht faction.
History
The M4 Sherman medium tank was the first truly successful tank design produced by the US in WWII, and remained in use right to the end of the war. Intended for assaulting infantry and exploiting breakthroughs, it was highly mobile and its M3 75mm gun fire an effective high explosive warhead. Against other tanks it proved capable of defeating the Panzer III and IV tanks it faced in North Africa, though struggled against the heavier Tiger I. At the time of the Normandy invasion, many were up-armored, granting them more protection than the Panzer IV H medium tank it often faced. These up-armored models usually carried the new M1 76mm gun, which had substantially better penetration, and could even punch through the front of a Panther or Tiger I at short range.
