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!

Was kinda hoping this and/or the M51 would be a US premium, but eh. I'm guessing the M51 is French too then?
Please Gaijin, I can only get so erect
Yes this thing was used by the Israeli armored forces, yes it has a french gun and an american hull but i don't understand why this thing is part of the french research tech tree instead of being a premium it makes perfect sense to be a premium instead of non-premium and have the M4A1 FL-11 as a premium when its pure french. with everyone complaining about French tanks tech tree being half french and half american can keep your mouths shut let the game release before judging gaijin's work
Can you kee our muth shut and play this tank in the french Tree? Do es America need another premum tank now instead in the french tree? Really who "need" it now? French or USA?
HitPirate, your* mouth
It was never referred to as Super Sherman damnit
Here we go again... *unzips*
COME ON GAJIN ARL-44 ARL-44 ARL-44 PLZ BE NEXT
If they're adding the M-50 Isherman, than that means we'll also see the M-51 90mm Isherman! Aw heck yeah!
The m51 is a 105m though...
could we see the Skink Ant-Aircraft tank coming in one of the upcoming updates? if you do, could you put it in the British tech tree where it belongs instead of the american tree like you did with the Sherman RAM tank? as a Canadian, this is very important to me that it is where it belongs. (both the RAM and the Skink are commonwealth tanks).
(((M4A4 SA50)))
And this is where WT reveals the desperation... A Israeli vehicle for the french because the gun is french... lmao. In that case, UK should get all the cold-war leopards... Yeah dont fit does it. Word of advice Gaijin... If a country didn't build much... either dont include them or put them into a international Tree... This game is becoming more and more desperate to feature items sacrificing history and facts for a very slim link of distorted reality.
the problem is that gaijin only say that the gun is french, in fact (bc this what you are looking for) french did the prototype of the turret, and Israel just bought the concept for their tanks, also this like the achyl firefly and mbt vickers (made by uk for India).
