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!

can't help but notice that this is a early production M-50, the detail is the VVSS suspension instead of the HVSS suspension that was used from the 51st to the 300th M-50 I do not know if you are planning to add the late production model as well which, besides the suspension, also used a diesel engine and wider tracks, the question is how you are gonna call it this being the French GF wouldn't it make sense to add the "prototype" made in France as the first and then add the standard M-50?
Well, note that this is also like the third M4A4 sherman that they're adding, and the other two are in the british tree in the shape of the Sherman VC Firefly, and when it comes to planes you got the AD-2 in the american tree, but the AD-4 is only in the French... I'm not really sure how they're thinking to be honest.
Corporal_Dankeye, in addition late production M-50's also used other hulls (at least some), differences like the transmission protective plate being cast instead of a 3 part plate as well the lack of those "bumps" in front of the driver and radio operator hatches
Why this tank comes into the french tree ? What's the point ? Why not putting Romanians tanks in the USA tree while you're at it ... ?!
This devblogs are good, all french tanks are good, but they are not as good as giving us 1.75 today. :) :)
I just hope we will get more than only French tanks. Or that we'll get something pretty nice for Christmas.
יאללה מסיבה
More mixed nations "Awesome"
When will you guys change the name of the M103 to T43E1and put the gun stabilizer?
You guys could (as an alternative) put the real engine on it, instead of just changing to the real name
THANK YOU GAIJIN GODS
I am very curious how this Sherman variant will play as I have recently finished spading the 75mm Shermans and am now playing with the 76mm and 17Iber Shermans... so far the 76mm is my favorite with the M62 shells as they have some amount of explosive filler. Though the 17 pounders Mk 8 shells have better ballistics and pen I lament the lack of explosive filler.
will we get latter models of the isherman like the one armed with the 105mm gun because that was a joint development between the french and israelis to make use of all the shermans that they had past their expiration date.
the french latter abandoned the project in favor of some of their home built tanks but israel still used them into the 70s I think maybe the 60s
