Best Shermans
The M4 Sherman was the workhorse tank of the US Army during WW2, and one of the most produced tanks in history. It performed really well in any theatres of war it was involved in, and its variants remained an effective counter to the German armour till the very end of the war. All in all, almost 50,000 Shermans rolled off the factory floor. Furthermore, in War Thunder, the Sherman is one of the most widely used vehicles, with almost every nation having at least a single variant of the iconic tank at their disposal. So today we’re talking about the Shermans.

Military aircraft designed in the US are considered to be among the best in the world – and rightly so.

For many years, the military decision-makers demanded almost impossible things from American engineers, but they delivered time and time again, creating a slew of unique designs. Today we’re going to speak about the most impressive of them!
