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!

Thanks for literally making the least common version..... The first 50 units were based on M4A4 hulls, had a Continental R-975 gasoline engine and VVSS suspension. However, the increased weight of the vehicle combined with narrow tracks led to poor off-road mobility. It was also putting too much strain on the engine, resulting in frequent mechanical failures. Consequently, for the rest of the conversions, hulls fitted with HVSS suspension and Cummins V-8 460 horsepower (340 kW) DIESEL engine.
They most probably choose this version as this is how the original French made conversion was. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a true, late, M-50 in the future.
Their logic was also to add the Mystere IIA of which only 2 prototypes were made instead of idk, the production model IIC of which 150 were made. Who honestly knows with these guys.
I don't understand why this Israelian (yes, with a French gun, but Israelian still) version is researchable, but the French developped FL-10 is a premium. It should be the oppostive, this would be more logical... But anyway, that's a cool tank to have.
it's actually pretty simple because the the prototypes were built by the French, think of it like the french being the "Super Shermans" godfather/godmother, they are like the M-50 second parent there's photos of the French prototypes for both the M-50 and M-51, the only they had nothing to do with was the final version with the hypervelocity 60mm gun (a Italo-Israeli gun)
Love it! Curious why they didn’t choose the HVSS suspension for the model
now only need to add the best tank in the world the Merkava mk4 :DDDDDDDDD
Your username checks out, but only the Merkava 2a or 2c variants would check out for Warthunder's current power creep of T-64s and MBT-70s.
CoffeeholicCielo, it would be nice too
Yep, thats nice, its a sherman with a French gun.
yus!
will we get the M-51 as well?
Shalom! A Hebrew hammer finally makes it to the field! Israeli tanks have always been my favorite. I heard that the engine was upgraded in some models of the Super Sherman. That would make a nice premium some day... hint, hint. Please gib more Israeli tanks :D
Vive la Israel!
Oh no a allahuakbar tank
you are retarded Israelis are not arabs
M4A1 ravioli when?
