概述

The Medium tank M4 Sherman is a rank II American medium tank with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced along with the rest of the American ground tree in Update 1.45 "Steel Generals".

M4“謝爾曼”中型坦克是美國二級中型坦克，權(quán)重為3.7 (街機/歷史/全真)。它是在1.45更新“鋼鐵將軍”時與其他美國陸軍科技樹的載具一并登場的。

Armed with a 75 mm cannon and a sloped front armour, the M4 Sherman gives the balance of firepower and mobility for the US ground tree. The in-game model represents a "Sherman 1.5" design with an M55 telescopic sight in a new gun mantlet with appliqué armour added in front of the gunner and on the ammo racks.

M4“謝爾曼”配備有75毫米坦克炮和傾斜的正面裝甲，M4“謝爾曼”為美國陸軍科技樹彌補了缺少火力和機動性平衡的載具的空缺。M4“謝爾曼”在游戲中的模型代表了“謝爾曼1.5”的設(shè)計方案：新的炮盾，內(nèi)置有一個M55望遠鏡式瞄準具，在炮手前面和彈藥架旁添加了嵌花（appliqué）裝甲。

The iconic American medium tank has a very distinctive silhouette with its high front sloping armour, flat sides, and rounded turret shape. The olive-drab green M4 medium uses a welded construction for the hull, resulting in the sharp-edged hull shape compared to the cast M4A1 medium. The turret, constructed the same way with cast steel in all 75 mm M4 medium variants, used an M34A1 gun mount for the 75 mm M3 gun; a change from the M34 gun mount in that the M34A1 used a combination of an M55 telescopic sight and an M4 periscope with an M38 telescopic sight in it.

這輛標志性的美國中型坦克有著非常獨特的輪廓：大傾角的正面裝甲，側(cè)面光滑垂直，炮塔圓滾滾的。橄欖綠色的M4的車體是焊接的，與車體是鑄造的M4A1相比，M4的焊接車體看起來有棱有角的。所有的75炮M4坦克的炮塔都是鑄造的，75毫米 M3坦克炮使用了M34A1炮座；區(qū)別于M34炮座的一個變化是，M34A1炮座使用了M55望遠鏡式瞄準器和一個配備有M38望遠鏡式瞄準器的M4潛望鏡的組合。

The hull's sloping glacis is at 56 degrees, as usual with the early model of M4 Shermans. The model is a "small hatch" variant as seen with the hatch shape being parallel with the hull. This configuration also caused the hatch to protrude from the hull's sloping contour, resulting in the interruptions in the slope that compromises the sloped armour's overall effectiveness. To mitigate this problem, armour plates are welded in front of the interruptions for additional protection. Aside from this note, some other features on the front glacis are the bundled desert-coloured jerry cans in the driver's area and the road wheel right on the transmission cover. On the side hull, one distinctive feature of the M4 Sherman was the added appliqué over the sponson ammunition area. While this does provide minute protection, they also serve as highlights for the enemy to aim for an ammo rack destruction.

車體傾斜的斜面有56度，和早期型的M4“謝爾曼”一樣。該型是一個“小艙門”的變體，艙門輪廓與車體平行。這種配置也導致艙門從車體傾斜的輪廓中突出，導致傾斜裝甲中斷，損害了傾斜裝甲的整體效能。為了減輕這個問題，裝甲鋼板被焊接在了中斷處的前面，以提供額外的防護。除了這個特點外，首上裝甲的還有一些其他特點如在駕駛員區(qū)域上放置了捆起來的沙漠色的油箱，變速箱上放上了負重輪。在車體側(cè)面，M4“謝爾曼”的一個顯著特征是在彈藥庫區(qū)域增加了嵌花（appliqué）裝甲。雖然這確實提供了些許保護，但它們也可以成為敵人瞄準彈藥架來摧毀謝爾曼的提示點。

The 75 mm cast turret, designated D50878, was one produced in early 1943. The early M34A1 gun mount design added onto the tank as well as an appliqué "cheek" in front of the gunner, as the redesign of the turret and room for the power traverse caused the armour in front of the gunner to be thinner than the rest of the turret. The M34A1 gun mount is noted as early due to the presence of lifting rings on the top of the gun mount as well as mounting bolts on the sides, both that are eliminated in the later model. A curious note for keen eyes is the lack of a loader hatch on the turret top, a feature not introduced until productions in late 1943. Another note is the pistol port on the left rear side of the turret. On top of the commander's cupola is the distinctive .50 cal M2 Browning machine gun that is commonly seen on American vehicles.

名為D50878的75毫米的鑄造炮塔是在1943年初生產(chǎn)的。早期的M34A1炮座設(shè)計在炮塔前面的“臉頰”上增加了嵌花（appliqué）裝甲，因為重新設(shè)計了炮塔和動力轉(zhuǎn)向的空間，導致炮塔前面的裝甲比炮塔的其他部分要薄。M34A1炮座很早就被注意到了，因為它的炮架頂部有吊環(huán)，側(cè)面也有安裝螺栓，這倆都在后來的型號中被取消了。細心的人可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣一個問題：謝爾曼的炮塔頂部并沒有裝填手的艙口，這一功能直到1943年后期才得以實現(xiàn)。另一個值得注意的是謝爾曼的炮塔左側(cè)后方有一個手槍孔。M4“謝爾曼”在車長指揮塔的頂部安裝了獨特的.50口徑的M2勃朗寧機槍，當然這在美國車上是很常見的。

The M4 medium's use of the Continental R975 radial engine results in a distinctive engine deck as well. It has a protruding hood over the air intake on top, followed by a relatively flat top all the way to the rear. Besides, the hooded air intake on both sides within the shielded wall are filler ports for the radiators. Outside of the wall are two more filler ports for the fuel tanks on both sides. On the very rear, the large engine doors are visible, featuring early door hinges used as early as the M3 medium. On both sides of the door, engine filters are also present.

M4中型坦克使用了大陸R975星形發(fā)動機，這也導致了一個獨特的發(fā)動機頂蓋。它在頂部的進氣口處有一個突出的發(fā)動機蓋，然后是一塊相對平坦的頂部，一直（平坦）到尾部。隔離板的內(nèi)兩側(cè)的罩式進風口為散熱器的加油口。隔離板外是另外兩個加油口，是給兩邊的油箱用的。在車體很靠后處，可以看到大型的發(fā)動機艙門，這種早期的門鉸鏈早在M3中型坦克時就已經(jīng)使用了。在車門兩側(cè)也安放了發(fā)動機濾清器。

基本信息

生存能力和裝甲

車體裝甲： 50（正面） 38（側(cè)面）?38（背面）

炮塔裝甲： 76（正面） 50（側(cè)面） 50（背面）

乘員數(shù)量： 5人

辨識度： 103%?

裝甲類型

軋制均質(zhì)裝甲（正面，側(cè)面，背面，車體頂部）

鑄造均質(zhì)裝甲 （炮塔，傳動系統(tǒng)區(qū)域）

注:

Suspension wheels are 15 mm thick, bogies are 10 mm thick, and tracks are 20 mm thick.

懸掛輪15mm厚，轉(zhuǎn)向架10mm厚，履帶20mm厚。

Front armour has two protruding areas for driver and co-driver hatches. These are weak points as they present a flat armour surface.

前裝甲有兩個用于駕駛員和副駕駛員艙蓋的突出的區(qū)域。這些都是弱點，因為它們呈現(xiàn)出扁平的裝甲表面。

Belly armour is 12.7 mm thick.

底盤裝甲厚12.7毫米。

Though most high-end anti-tank weapons can cleave through the M4 Sherman's front armour rather easily, some smaller-calibre weapons less than 75 mm would have some trouble going against the front armour. In these cases, aim for weak points like the protruding hatches in the front sloping armour, or even the crest of the transmission housing, where the slope is minimum in both areas. The turret has a very robust construction so if there is no faith in penetrating through the front hull easily, don't bother trying to penetrate the turret from the front except for the very small weak point on the gunner's position of the turret.

雖然絕大多數(shù)高級的反坦克武器可以很容易地擊穿M4謝爾曼的前裝甲，但一些小于75毫米口徑的小口徑武器在對付謝爾曼的前裝甲時就不容易了。因上述原因，（拉一些的反坦克武器）瞄準諸如傾斜的正面裝甲上突出的艙口，或者甚至傳動機構(gòu)的頂部，在這兩塊區(qū)域的角度最小。炮塔很硬，因為除了炮塔炮手位置上有一塊非常小的弱點外，所以如果沒有信心能夠輕易擊穿前車體，不要勞神費心地嘗試從正面淦炮塔。

If a shot can be made to the M4 Sherman's sides, send it towards the front half of the tank where it would either cripple the crew or ignite one of the ammunition racks strewn all over the internals.

如果可以射擊M4“謝爾曼”的側(cè)面，那就打它的前半部分，因為打那里會殺傷車組乘員或引燃彈藥架。

配件：?

Obvious first choice for research would be Parts in tier I. For the tier II it might be worth a risk to go for M61 shot first, as its such a significant improvement over the stock shell. The other option being FPE. On tier III Filters and Crew Replenishment are very important, and in tier IV further mobility improvements with the Engine and then Transmission should be prioritized. Once done - Horizontal Drive and two modifications responsible for accuracy or Artillery Support. The least important module to research is the M89 shell due to its extremely situational use.

很明顯，白班的研發(fā)首選是1級的研發(fā)件（廢話 肯定是維修套件啊）。研發(fā)到2級的值得冒險先研發(fā)M61炮彈，因為它相比默認彈改進很多。另一種選擇是滅火套件。3級研發(fā)件的濾清器和補充乘員非常重要，4級的發(fā)動機和變速箱會改善機動性，應該優(yōu)先考慮。研發(fā)完畢后，再研發(fā)方向機和兩個負責精度或火炮支援的配件。研發(fā)中最不重要的是M89炮彈，因為用到它的條件很極端。

武器

主要武器?

75毫米 M3 坦克炮

垂直穩(wěn)定器：減少火炮在平面移動時的擺動

彈藥：97發(fā)

裝填速度: 6.5秒（白板） 5.0秒（王牌滿級）

俯仰角：-10°/25°?

75 mm M3 gun is a competent, well-handling gun for a medium tank. Even without any modifications, its ability to fulfil its role, though where it begins to shine is with the M61 shot. Default, M72, suffers from issues typical to US and British sold shots - poor post-penetration effects. This means it's preferable to take down enemy gunner first, usually by hitting the right side of the turret.

75mm M3炮對于中型坦克而言性能不錯，操控性好。即使火炮是個白班，它也能發(fā)揮它的作用，盡管它開始發(fā)光的時候是拿到M61炮彈時。默認彈M72，有著美國和英國出售的炮彈的典型問題，-糟糕的后效。這意味著最好先干掉敵人的炮手，通常打炮塔的右側(cè)就能做到。

彈藥

When discussing M4 shells, one always has to account for the fact that it's a medium tank. This means short to medium engagement range, so realistically it can benefit more from its short-range penetration figures than long-range sniping tanks would.

當討論M4的炮彈的時，人們總是要考慮到這是給一輛中坦用的。這意味著近距離到中等距離的交戰(zhàn)范圍，所以實際上它近戰(zhàn)比遠距離狙擊獲益更多。

M72 shot - AP - Solid shot, stock shell. Acceptable penetration, poor post-penetration damage.

M72炮彈-穿甲彈，實心的炮彈，白班彈?？梢越邮艿拇┥?，差勁的后效。

M48 shell - HE - Low-velocity shell useful against soft targets, in particular when hitting an open-topped vehicle. Harmless against any vehicle with more than 10 mm of armour.

M48炮彈-高爆彈-穿深很低，用于殺傷軟目標，尤其是淦敞篷車。在打裝甲厚度超過10毫米厚的目標時效果很差。

M61 shot - APCBC - This shell has a better penetration than the M72 thanks to its ballistic cap and a good post-penetration damage thanks to its explosive filler.

M61炮彈-被帽風帽穿甲彈-拜風帽所賜，這種炮彈穿深比M72更高，且因爆炸填充物的緣故，M61的后效更好。

M89 smoke shell - Useful to blind enemy vehicles that are too remote for you to disable so that you can progress towards objectives.

M89煙霧彈-可以遮住遠處敵人的視野，這樣你就可以繼續(xù)向目標推進了。

彈藥架

注:

To go into battle with the turret basket empty of ammo, pack 78 (+19) shells (racks 1 to 4 emptied).?

加入戰(zhàn)斗時清空炮塔吊籃彈藥，帶78(+19)枚炮彈(彈藥架1到4清空)。

To go into battle with the turret basket and the flanks empty of ammo, pack 31 (+66) shells (racks 1 to 7 emptied).?

加入戰(zhàn)斗時清空炮塔吊籃和車體兩側(cè)彈藥，帶31(+66)枚炮彈(彈藥架1到7清空)。

The 8th rack is large and located in a weak spot: the bottom section of the armour. In case of penetration, there is a high risk of ammo rack detonation. Make sure not to expose your flanks unnecessarily.

第8彈藥架很大，并且位于弱點處:坦克的底盤處。在被擊穿的情況下，彈藥殉爆的風險很高。確保在不必要的情況下不要暴露你的側(cè)面。

The M4 Sherman is armed with two machine guns, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun on the pintle-mount atop the M4 Sherman turret, the famous .50 cal "Ma Deuce" machine gun. This weapon is the same type as the one used in American aircraft, though at a slower fire rate. However, this leads to the anti-aircraft power of the weapon as most formidable against low strafing attacking aircraft.

M4“謝爾曼”裝備有兩挺機槍，一挺12.7毫米重機槍，安裝在M4“謝爾曼”炮塔頂端，這是一種著名的.50口徑“老干媽（Ma Deuce）”機槍。這種武器與美國飛機上使用的是同一種的，盡管射速較慢。然而，這也使它成為了非常趁手的掃射低空飛機的防空武器（明明是對地武器）。

The second machine gun is a general-purpose 7.62 mm M1919A4 Browning machine gun mounted in the coaxial position. A typical machine gun not too unlike on many other vehicles, the machine gun is just average.

第二個是一挺通用7.62毫米M1919A4勃朗寧機關(guān)槍，安裝在同軸位置。這是一款經(jīng)典的機關(guān)槍，和許多其他車輛沒有太大的不同，這挺機關(guān)槍很普通。

Usage in battles??（安東哥教你開坦克）

The M4 Sherman is an effective medium-range combat tank. Equipped with a fast-firing 75mm gun and with good handling characteristics, the M4 can be an extremely useful asset in most battles.

M4“謝爾曼”是一款不錯的中型戰(zhàn)斗坦克。裝備有射速較快的75毫米炮，操作性良好，M4在大多數(shù)戰(zhàn)斗中都是非常有價值的一員。

In battle the M4 performs well as an all-rounder; the thick turret front and 10 degrees of gun depression make the tank ideal for taking hull-down positions which protect the thinner hull armour from being penetrated by enemy fire. The sloped front upper glacis, when angled, also provides good protection against enemy fire. An unusual - and useful - difference is that the upper glacis is sloped at 56 degrees rather than the standard 45 degrees, making it more of a threat and more powerful due to improving the chances of a round ricochet. The only downfall may be the 2 crew member position in the front that protrudes out to form a flat surface, but both are covered with an additional 20 mm plate. The reasonable mobility of the Sherman makes flanking a viable tactic. The main weakness of the M4 is the side armour - not only is it vertical and thin, but behind it most of the ammunition is stowed. The tall silhouette of the tank also makes finding suitable cover difficult. Overall, the M4 Sherman can be considered as an armoured jack-of-all-trades - it will serve a tanker well, however it will not excel in any particular role.

在戰(zhàn)斗中，M4表現(xiàn)得很好;炮塔正面較厚，10度的俯角（蘇系落淚），可使坦克藏在可保護較薄的車體裝甲免受敵人炮火的穿透的理想位置。首上裝甲傾斜，當有角度時，也能提供了很好的防御。有一個不同尋常的——也是有用的——不同之處在于，首上傾斜角度是56度，而不是標準的45度，這使得它更有威脅性，更有威力，因為它提高了圓形跳彈的幾率。唯一的缺點可能是前面的2名車組人員的位置突出形成一個平面，但兩者都覆蓋了一塊額外的20毫米板。謝爾曼的機動性使繞側(cè)成為可行的戰(zhàn)術(shù)。M4的主要弱點是側(cè)面裝甲——不僅是垂直而且薄，而且在側(cè)面裝甲后面裝著大部分的彈藥。坦克高大的輪廓也使得尋找合適的掩體變得比較困難?？偟膩碚f，M4“謝爾曼”可以是一個裝甲多面手——它作為坦克很優(yōu)秀，但是它在任何特定的角色上都不突出。

In battle, try to use terrain as cover. Hull-down positions are especially strong in the M4 Sherman, as it has a good 10 degrees of gun depression. The gun mantlet and turret are reasonably strong, but avoiding shots is still the best strategy. In this respect, a hull-down position hides the vulnerable hull. If this is not available, then angling the hull armour to present a greater slope is often a good idea, as this can bounce some low-powered cannon at any range and at longer ranges, render the hull impenetrable.

在戰(zhàn)斗中，盡量利用地形作為掩護。M4“謝爾曼”在能藏好車體的位置很強，因為它有10度的優(yōu)秀俯角。炮盾和炮塔相當硬，但避開敵人的攻擊仍然是最好的策略。在這方面，找一個能蓋住自己脆弱車體的地方。如果不行的話，找一個能讓自己前裝甲呈現(xiàn)更大角度的地方也不錯，因為這可以使一些低穿火炮在任何距離或遠距離打不穿你。

Another way to play the M4 Sherman is to tap into its traditional cavalry role, its mobility. The M4 Sherman is a great flanker as it is fast enough to get the jump on the enemy's side. Defeat the enemy at their weak front lines or go around the entire enemy force. Once in position at their sides or rear, ambush them. Ideally, the enemy should be too busy focusing on allies attacking in the front to notice the M4 instantly. Take out the weaker light or medium tanks, the 75 mm gun is not very ideal against heavy tanks like the KV-1 so take out its friends to allow allies more room to outmanoeuvre the KV tank. An organized attack will increase the M4 chances on the battlefield and success.

另一種使用M4“謝爾曼”的方式是扮演它傳統(tǒng)的騎兵角色，利用它的機動性。M4謝爾曼是一個出色的側(cè)翼，因為它的速度足以繞到敵人的一側(cè)。在敵人力量薄弱的前線擊潰敵人，或繞過敵人的全部兵力。一旦進入他們的側(cè)翼或后方，伏擊他們。理想情況下，敵人應該集中精力忙于與謝爾曼的隊友作戰(zhàn)，不能立即注意到M4。干掉較弱的輕型或中型坦克，75毫米炮在對付KV-1這樣的重型坦克不是很理想，所以干掉它的隊友，讓盟友有更多的空間來對付KV坦克。有組織的攻擊將增加M4在戰(zhàn)場上的機會和勝率。

The presence of a pivot-mounted .50 calibre machine gun gives the Sherman some flexibility. It can engage softer targets such as some tank destroyers and many SPAAGs at short ranges when loading a HE shell would be inconvenient. While not ideal, they provide the Sherman tank with some measure of protection against aircraft- sometimes enough to dissuade a pilot from making another pass. It can be an effective rang-finder for targets at longer ranges where the M1919 in the turret would be less effective. While it pales in comparison to the destructive effect of tank guns, it provides the Sherman with some flexibility over other comparable vehicles, who are restricted to their rifle-calibre coaxial machine guns.

一挺.50口徑機槍的存在賦予了謝爾曼一些靈活性。它可以在近距離上對付一些軟目標，如一些坦克殲擊車和許多自行高炮，當主炮上高爆彈時會很不方便。雖然不是很猛，但它們?yōu)橹x爾曼坦克提供了一些反飛機的措施——有時足以阻止敵軍飛行員再次從頭頂掠過。它可以是一種有效的測距器，但安在炮塔上的M1919測更遠距離的目標時，效果會更差。雖然與坦克炮的破壞效果相比，它相形見絀，但與其他類似車輛相比，它賦予了一些靈活性，后者的同軸機槍被限制在步槍口徑。

There will be concerns about certain vehicles:

留心一下下述車輛:

M4A2 M4A2 / A4 A4

These Sherman tanks are widely used by over 3 nations that spread across both the Allied and the Axis side, so no matter which nation you play they can be quite tough to destroy in the hands of a skilled tanker. Given the rather weak penetration of your short 75mm gun, their hull can be almost impossible to penetrate when angled, hull down or 300m away. For a M4A4, there are 2 apparent bulges on the upper front plate, a penetration through there can guarantee a knock-out most of the times. But in case the opponent covers them up or when it's a M4A2, aim for the middle parts of the gun mantlet or the turret armour unprotected by the mantlet, you can at least make them defenseless. Note that their guns are equally weak against you, so wiggle around to disrupt their aim while you reload, you have a good chance of bouncing some shells.

這些謝爾曼坦克被同盟國和軸心國超過3個國家使用，所以無論你在哪個國家，在老鳥手中它們都很難被摧毀?？紤]到你的短75mm炮的穿透能力很差，在藏住車體或者300米開外時，他們的車體在傾斜的時候幾乎不可能被擊穿。對于M4A4，它的前裝甲板上有兩個明顯的凸起，大多數(shù)情況下打那里很容易打穿。但如果敵人把它們蓋住，或者它是M4A2，瞄準炮盾的中間部分或炮塔裝甲沒有炮盾保護的地方，這樣你至少可以讓它們失去還手能力。注意，他們的炮和你同樣弱，所以你可以在重裝填時晃動來干擾他們瞄準，你彈開敵人炮彈的幾率還蠻大的。

“丘吉爾”MkⅠ, “丘吉爾”MkⅢ , 德繳丘吉爾

The Churchills, with their complex hulls and sturdy turrets, can be quite hard to penetrate at range. Again, manoeuvre as close to them as possible, the idea distance being no more than 200m. If they are angling their hull but facing their turret at you, only go for the turret. For the Mk I Churchills, aim at the near-vertical part of their rounded cheeks to ensure successful penetrations. For the Mk III and the German Churchill, also aim for their flat turret which is at most 89mm. The shell should go in easily and knock out most, if not all of the crew. Only when you are facing their hull without any angles should you shoot the hull, otherwise shoot the turret only, as their big tracks can easily get in front of the frontal hull. The side hull have multiple layers of armour, some of which are weirdly angled and can absorb plenty of shells.

丘吉爾有著復雜的車體和堅固的炮塔，很難在射程內(nèi)擊穿。同樣，盡量接近他們，距離不要超過200米。如果他們傾斜他們的車體，但將他們的炮塔正對著你，只淦它炮塔。對于“丘吉爾”MkⅠ，瞄準其圓圓的臉頰的接近垂直的部分以確保成功擊穿。對于“丘吉爾”Mk III和德繳丘吉爾，也瞄準他們最多89毫米的平面炮塔。炮彈應該很容易打進去，并殺死大多數(shù)甚至所有乘員。只有當你正對它們車體時，你才應該射擊車體，否則就只射擊炮塔，因為他們的大履帶很容易吞打前車體的炮彈。側(cè)面有多層裝甲，其中一些角度很奇怪，可以吞大量的炮彈。

KV-1和KV-1改型

A vehicle that the M4 Sherman will have trouble against is the KV-1. While the L-11 is underpowered, the ZiS-5 is potent enough to punch through the Sherman's front, and the Sherman is unable to penetrate the KV-1's thick frontal armour. If this heavy tank is encountered, try to shoot it in its sides and rear, where its armour is thinner and unsloped, though it will still have to be at a close range to penetrate the armour. In addition, shots to the sides will most likely hit fuel tanks or ammunition storage, causing a fire or ammunition detonation and at best, time to reassess the situation.?

KV-1將成為M4謝爾曼遇到的麻煩。L-11炮穿深不足，但ZiS-5炮足以穿透謝爾曼的正面，而謝爾曼無法穿透KV-1厚重的正面裝甲。如果與這個重型坦克遭遇，試著射擊它的側(cè)面和后方，那里的裝甲更薄且不傾斜，盡管謝爾曼仍然需要近距離才能穿透KV-1的裝甲。此外，向兩側(cè)射擊很可能擊中油箱或彈藥架，造成火災或彈藥爆炸，花點兒時間認真分析當前形勢。

四號坦克 F2/G/H/J 型

The historical nemesis of any Sherman, the Panzer IV is one of the Shermans biggest threats at this rank. The long barrel 75mm gun will easily penetrate the Sherman from the front. The F2 variant is admittedly easy to deal with. A single APCBC to its hull or turret should end it pretty quickly, even at long range. The other variants are slightly harder to deal with. They have thicker hull armour, at 80mm, which will be much harder to penetrate with the APCBC over 500m. Luckily the turret armour remains the same at 50mm. Either aim here with APCBC or sacrifice damage potential and use the AP round to penetrate the hull.

歷史上謝爾曼坦克的宿敵，四號坦克是謝爾曼在這個等級上最大的威脅之一。長身管的75毫米炮可以輕易地從正面擊穿謝爾曼。F2型是公認地好打。即使是在遠距離，對它的車體或炮塔來一發(fā)APCBC就能很快結(jié)果它。其他的型號稍微難打。他們有厚達80毫米的車體裝甲，距離超過500米時，APCBC就很難打了。幸運的是四號坦克的炮塔裝甲仍是50毫米。要么用APCBC瞄準這里，要么犧牲后效，然后用AP擊穿車體。

三號突擊炮?F /G 型

Another historical nemesis of the Sherman, and another big threat. The StuG III packs the same punch as the Panzer IV line with its long barrel 75mm gun, whilst losing the turret, which turns out to be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Lacking a turret means that it will have to traverse the whole vehicle to target an enemy, but it also means that it has a lower profile. The StuG's armour profile is also more complex than the Panzer IV, with less flat areas. Certain areas are sloped and very bouncy. Luckily, there is a big weak spot. There are two flat plates on the front of the hull. The flat plate on the right is the drivers port. Shoot that and you are able to knock outthe driver, gunner and loader in one go. This is a very efficient way to destroy this vehicle. With the F variant, you can use APCBC to instantly one-shot this vehicle. With the G variant, it is more reliable to use AP at ranges over 500m to ensure penetration.

謝爾曼的另一個宿敵，也是一個巨大的威脅。三號突擊炮的火炮沖力和四號相同，使用的是長管75毫米坦克炮，但是它沒有炮塔，這既是優(yōu)勢也是劣勢。沒有炮塔意味著它必須調(diào)整整輛車來瞄準敵人，但這也意味著它的輪廓較低。突擊炮的裝甲輪廓也比4號更復雜，有更少的垂直區(qū)域。某些區(qū)域是傾斜的，很有可能會彈開炮彈。幸運的是，它有一個很大的弱點。在車體的前部有兩塊平板。右邊的平板是駕駛員觀察窗。射擊它，你就可以一次殺死駕駛員、炮手和裝填手。這是摧毀坦克的有效方法。對于F型，你可以立即使用APCBC一發(fā)干掉它。對于G型，在超過500米的距離時使用AP以保證更可靠穿深。

譯者注：現(xiàn)版本M4謝爾曼的AP全方面弱于APCBC，能別用就別用。

優(yōu)點和缺點

優(yōu)點:

Excellent gun depression of -10° plus the angled frontal turret allows it to utilise hills very well

-10°的出色俯角加上前炮塔的角度讓它可以很好地利用山丘地形

Great penetration and post-penetration damage when using M61 shells; can frontally penetrate and one-shot most opponents like the Pz.IV F2, Chi-Nu and T-34

M61彈穿深和后效好;可以正面一發(fā)干掉大多數(shù)對手，如四號坦克F2型, 三式中戰(zhàn)車和T-34

Great turret traverse speed allows it to deal with multiple threats easily

優(yōu)秀的炮塔轉(zhuǎn)速讓它能夠輕松應對多個威脅

Capable armour when angled and a distance

當有角度或有一定距離時裝甲比較靠譜

Adequate top speed allows it to get to positions in time, or to do tactical manoeuvres like flanking

足夠的最高速度允許它及時到達位置，或進行戰(zhàn)術(shù)機動，如繞側(cè)

Pintle-mounted HMG provides an anti-aircraft defence or anti-tank duty against tanks like Marder III?

安裝在炮塔上的HMG可以對空防御或打像“黃鼠狼”III這種坦克

Fitted with a vertical stabilizer, allowing more accurate fire on the move compared to other tanks, as well as better usage of shoot-n-scoot tactics

配備一個垂直穩(wěn)定器，與其他坦克相比，謝爾曼可以在移動中更精確地射擊，以及更好地打伸縮炮

缺點:

Large profile and weak side armour; flankers like the Sd.Kfz.234/2 can easily see and penetrate it

輪廓大，側(cè)面裝甲薄;繞側(cè)的50炮puma可以輕松發(fā)現(xiàn)并淦穿謝爾曼的側(cè)面。

Frontal armour is still inadequate, it will get frontally penetrated and knocked out with a single shot by tanks like Pz.IV F2/G, StuG III F/G or M10?

正面裝甲仍然不夠看，它會被像四號坦克F2型/G型，三號突擊炮F型/G型或M10從正面擊穿，

The best M61 shell struggles to penetrate heavy targets like KV-1 (ZiS-5), Churchill III or even the T-34 and M10 when angled?

最好的M61炮彈很難擊穿重型目標，如KV-1 /ZiS-5，“丘吉爾”Mk III，甚至擺了角度的T-34和M10

Trajectory is curved and velocity is low due to its short barrel, thus distant/moving targets are hard to shoot at

由于它的炮管較短，彈道彎曲，初速較低，因此難以命中遠距離/移動目標

Hull traverse is quite slow, making it sluggish in a turn. Also the narrow tracks offer poor ground flotation, thus poor off-road capabilities. Can only reach its top speed on paved or hard surfaces

車體轉(zhuǎn)向相當慢，這使其在轉(zhuǎn)彎時變得很笨。此外，狹窄的履帶提供了較差的地面支撐力，從而導致越野能力較差。只能在鋪設(shè)或堅硬的路面上才能跑到最高速度

Roof armour of 19.5 mm thick is vulnerable to airstrikes with AP cannons. For example the widely used M2 Browning?

19.5毫米厚的車頂裝甲對空中來襲的穿甲彈的防御能力很弱。如廣泛使用的M2勃朗寧機槍
