I need help on Sherman...

[Frank W.]

newer models had a better and harder " getriebedeckel " ( don´t know the english word ) on the front hull. some others had a 50mm mortar which was used mostly for smoke but could shoot normal 50 mm HE grenades, too ! on some shermans the 12.7mm AA mg was removed. there are so much changes and variants....

perhaps make 2 variants:

- one with no applique armor

- and one with that armor attached. i have seen 2 pics in the book with sherman that have 2 plates on the side hulls and one on the front turret....perhaps on these locations a little ( i ´think it´s more a "notfallmaßnahme" with this armor and it looks not very reliable ) higher value for them. say, for a very slight speed decrease....
