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!

im another israeli like most of those who commented here and thanks for the first israeli tank (plez gib merkava))))))))))))))))
The french ground tree is getting less and less french. Even the french air tree is half american and now we got a mix of french American and Israeli tanks. To me, the french trees are a mess
don't forget that in real life the french didn't have many vehicles built so gaijin can only add prototype vehicles or foreign vehicles
Except the French made a prototype of the M4A4 SA50 in France, as well as a M4A1 105mm L51
But it's an Israeli tank, made with american components... in the French tree? Why not the Americans? You know, the country that made the F-84G, the AD-4, Hydra rockets, T10 151 rockets... oh.
Do you really think America need that tank or plane in theyr tech tree? It's a french gun with a sherman hull modification from both israel and french and they discuss on forum long time ago, im not surprised they add this in the french tree and anyway they lack some portion of the br .. it will help in gameplay who will use french tank in battles, why its so hard to understand? its more french than ameriraquan
Can we also have the argentine sherman repotenciado please?
Why can't we know the date of when the testing will open??? I'm dying to try my new AMX-13! Please let not only me but the world know the release date too.
Seriously ? That tank has nothing to do with France other than the gun. And here you have all the brainwashed Israely fanboys being all happy about that crap. Why not simply giving the French the tanks of the 2DB ? THAT would be accurate

Baguette Mode A C T I V A T E D
Btw will you implement a hand full of Prototypes to the tree for the gap in Tier III/IV?
The Sherman equivalent of the Panther cannon? :D
It's a french autoloading cannon based off the Lang 7,5cm KwK used on the Panthers.
BrokenVinyl3, Yeah, I know.
M-50 Super Sherman is 1. a made up name, not used by Israel, 2. not this thing as this was just the French proto, Israel modified their own
1. you are right, just as much as the M36 is not called Jackson; 2.you are wrong, the first few (60+) were like the French proto, they later modified it by adding HVSS, wider Track and diesel engine
