M4a3e8 Sherman Easy Eight

Initially designated the M4A3(76)W HVSS but shortened to M4A3E8, this medium tank was eventually nicknamed the 'Easy Eight' by the US soldiers who fought in and alongside them. The Easy Eight boasts several improvements over earlier M4 Sherman designs, such as the Horizontal Volute Suspension System (HVSS) and wider tracks, a welded hull instead of cast, and most importantly, a high-velocity 76mm main gun.
