The M4A4 (SA50), also known as the M-50 Super Sherman, is a modified Israeli version of the well-known and widely used American Sherman tank. This unique Sherman modification comes to War Thunder as part of the French ground forces research tree coming with War Thunder update 1.75!
In the early 1950s, Israel considered purchasing the new French AMX-13 light tank. Although Israel admired the performance of the AMX-13’s SA-50 75mm cannon, it was deemed too lightly armored and they abandoned the purchase. Instead, Israel purchased the 75mm SA-50 cannon only, which would be fitted onto the reliable, battle-tested stock Sherman chassis—which was already fielded and favored by the Israeli military in 1954.
The result of this combination was the M-50 Super Sherman, which Israel continued developing and improving well into the second half of the 20th century. By 1964, several hundred Sherman tanks armed with the 75mm SA-50 cannon were manufactured and used until the early 1980s, after which they were phased out of active duty.
In War Thunder, the M4A4 Sherman, equipped with the 75mm SA-50 cannon, will offer a different experience from the well-known Sherman formula that many players are familiar with. Israeli engineers made only minor changes to the initial design of the Sherman, and the hull, suspension, tracks, engine and transmission remained the same.The most significant change was made to the primary armament and turret, which the Israeli engineers modified by adding a new gun mantlet and counter weight on the back of the turret to house radio equipment and balance the long-barreled 75mm cannon.
Overall the M4A4 (SA50) is very similar to the British Sherman Firefly, both visually and performance-wise. But anyone can use the M4A4 (SA50) to enjoy raining death and destruction upon the enemy. The SA-50 cannon features excellent ballistic properties, and even less experienced tankers can quickly become accurate and deadly with it.
The M4A4 SA50 rolls into War Thunder as a mid-rank, medium tank in the new French ground forces research tree in the upcoming War Thunder 1.75 update. Stay tuned and watch for more news about the latest developments coming in War Thunder’s next major update!

Cool, an Israeli tank! Now we need the 105mm Super Sherman. :D
This please!
Does this mean we're getting the M-51 too?
Very much this too please!
Yes but when will we get Skink with AMX turret?
What about an AMX with a Skink turret?
Lycos_Luppin, both pls!!
In the 1.75 will come some change in the match making? The War Thunder would be the best tank and airplane game if will be changed the overtier if it were much less +1.0 br tank or airplane will be in one battle . (if you think so , like this post)
is the 105 variant possible?
Now this is what everyone really wants to know, easily a better tank in every way.
THIS! I want the M-51 super sherman variant with the french long barrel 105mm cannon.
this sherman is beautifull. hell it even beats the amx sherman in terms of looks.
Add this into US tech tree,pls!
Why?
Lycos_Luppin, Sherman with autoloader Sound good!
Is it tier III or early IV ? Good job and still waiting for lovely Somua SM :P
Why the early, shitty M50? Unless you buff it up quite a bit this thing will have a lot of trouble on anything other than paved roads due to it's heavy weight, gasoline engine, and narrow tracks.
Yeah they went full retard... Most of these tanks had the diesel i have no idea why the hell they put a version without it in.. Considering most of all them had diesels as they found out the gas engines were under too much strain and more dangerous.
Satiricalfever, Because this specific one was built by the French. http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/images/stories/photos/m50_01.jpg
ehmmm why there is no smoke launchers? Some super sherman has smoke launcher.
It's a devblog, and you just said it yourself, SOME aka this one doesn't LUL
Corporal_Dankeye, what are you stupid? By ''some'' it referred to that this tank does has smoke launchers and there is no reason to give the game the variant that doesn't come with smoke. you should change ur name to corporal donkey.
