[About actual car]
-A total of about 50,000 American M4 Sherman tanks, which became the main battle tank of the Allied Forces in World War II, were produced, and various types were made.
- At the beginning of development, it was equipped with a star-shaped air-cooled 9-cylinder engine for airplanes, but due to the increase in production of airplanes, there was a shortage of engines for tanks. Once again, an automobile manufacturer was asked to develop an engine.
- Among them, General Motors developed a 12-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine.
- It is a characteristic engine that combines two inline 6-cylinder engines in parallel, and the Sherman equipped with this engine is the M4A2.
- Production started in 1942, but the army did not like diesel engines, and it was mainly deployed in the Marine Corps because it could share fuel with ship engines.
- In addition, it was granted to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease Act.
-In addition to the main gun type equipped with a 75mm gun, a long-barreled 76.2mm gun type is also produced.
