SHERMAN M-1


M-1 שרמן




History
Due to the events in Egypt, French policy towards Israel underwent a more serious change, and France agreed to supply approximately 250 M4 Sherman tanks to Israel in 1950. These tanks were mainly M4A1E8, but also included versions of the M4A3E8, with a powerful 76 mm M1 gun and HVSS running gear. However, there are also photos of tanks with the older type of VVSS running gear. However, these were probably rebuilt from the chassis of classic M4 Sherman tanks, with turrets from damaged Sherman M-1 tanks, or were a minority of the total number of machines delivered.


The tanks were delivered to Israel in a covert operation lasting several weeks and arrived directly on the beaches of Israel between 1953 and 1954. The vehicles arrived just in time to participate and help Israel win the Sinai Campaign (1956).


Tanks of this type have long been retired from active service and from the Israeli Army's armored corps reserves. They were gradually replaced by Sherman M-50 and Sherman M-51 tanks, M48 and M60 tanks, Magach tanks, Centurion and Sho't tanks, respectively. For their heavier armament, they were unofficially accessorized with the Super Sherman moniker.



Description
Israeli Sherman M-1 tanks, also referred to as Super Sherman, are American M4A1E8 and M4A3E8 tanks, respectively. The tanks were not modified in any way during the time they served in Israel.


The hull of the vehicle is identical to that of the M4 Sherman tanks. Chassis with HVSS (Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension) - this running gear is characterized by the use of new wider tracks and, most importantly, a redesigned suspension and running wheel suspension - like the VVSS (Vertical ) it has 3 running bogies on each side, each with 2 wheels. There is a toothed drive wheel at the front and a tension wheel at the rear. In the HVSS, 2 tensioning pulleys have been added. Tanks with the HVSS chassis are characterized by much better vehicle passability through difficult terrain.


The vehicles were equipped with star air-cooled Continental R-975 C4 gasoline engines of 460 bhp at 2,400 rpm in the M4A1E8 version, or Ford GAA water-cooled gasoline engines of 500 bhp at 2,600 rpm in the M4A3E8 version. The gearbox was manual, synchromesh, with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear.


Neither the instrumentation nor the weapons equipment of the tank was upgraded or improved. The armament remained the same, the main weapon of the tank being the turret-mounted M1 gun (M1A1 / M1A1C / M1A2) long-barrelled 76mm calibre rifle with a muzzle brake (can be without), and a coupled 7.62mm machine gun Browning M1919A4. At the front of the hull, in a ball sleeve, is lafeted another machine gun Browning M1919A4 again in 7.62 mm calibre. On the turret roof is a large-calibre 12.7 mm Browning M2HB machine gun. Inside the turret is a 51 mm M3 mortar, designed to fire smoke mines. This was replaced by 2 smoke grenades on each side of the turret in the late 1950s and early 1960s (4 in total).

Jen dotaz: máš někde nějakou fotku M4A3E8 v Izraelských službách? Já zatím viděl jen ty různé A1... A Izraelští autoři sami v tom mají bordel jak v převráceném Shermanu Wink

popravdě řečeno neviděl (a ani verzi M-51 na podvozku M4A3E8, přestože to byly defakto předělaný M-1), ale je to udáváno ve zdrojích


tady je výňatek z článku, který hovoří o 100 tancích M4A3 s podvozkem HVSS a věží T23, ale celkem si to s ostatními zdroji protiřečí
- www.ww2incolor.com


zde se přímo hovoří o M4A3
- http://www.tsahal-miniature.com/sherman.html


možná tenhle
- www.massimocorner.com str.16, dolní polovina, korba je svařovaná a věž by měla být T23, takže by to mohla být M4A3E8, ale s určitostí to nepoznám (může jít o úpravu trup/věž)



P.S.: tak ne, je to taky M4A1E8

Exactly, it's a terrible mess and it doesn't help that the Israelis gradually put HVSS on M4A4 chassis etc... Every now and then someone somewhere writes a mention of the M4A3E8 but I haven't seen photos of it anywhere either and I'm quite interested to know what it was like...
