It's an M4A3E8 Sherman. This version had the improved 76mm M1 gun, an HVSS suspension system, and better armor than previous versions of the tank.

The one on this tank was an uprated version. At close ranges (500 yds) it could penetrate a Tiger 1's frontal armor.

this is actually a sherman firefly that's a 17 pounder gun mounted on the turret
-
Wow.. =)
-
Ah kool. Yeah the turret is what tricked me, looks exactly like an m10.
-
Yeah, it is. Also, the T-23 turret they invented for the new gun looks like an M10 turret. They way you can tell is that the Sherman has a hull that slopes down towards the back of the tank, while the M10 and other US TDs have a straight deck.
-
Ahhh I see, Its not always easy to tell the upgunned shermans from the 17 pounders. :) I think the 17lb is only slightly longer.
-
Thats not a firefly, thats an american m10 fitted with a 17 pounder.

This sherman actually has 2 name plates, "RON" and "HARRY", it is named after Ron Huggins and Harry "Anklets" Webb, two museum volunteers and World War 2 veterans who up until a few years ago crewed this vehicle at all museum mobility events until ill health forced both of them to retire from driving.

Yeah, 76mm or 3". A sherman with the gun mounted on a M10 TD. Really, not the greatest tank in 1944, but the US finally got a good design of the sherman, superior in every way to the contemporary Panzer 4 series, which still made up the bulk of the German Army. Better armor (for once), gun on par with 75mm, and better optics.
