Almost! Look a little closer at my avatar, it’s a play on my heritage, hint American made but father born in Russia.
I went with the T-34C because of the color since American unit counters are green. I only played the first Squad Leader and looked at Cross of Iron but I did not go past that. So with a Russian tank but American made, then it would probably be a diesel powered M4A2 with the longer gun. Some of the Soviet tankers who were in both the T-34 and the US made M4 preferred the M4.
Bingo!

ASL calls them:

M4A2/76(w)

M4/76(a): The Russians used more Shermans than any other Lend-Lease tank during the last two years of the war. Shipments of the M4A2/76(w) (which was the only 76mm version given to the Soviets) began in May 1944, and ultimately 2,095 were sent. Some tank and mechanized corps were entirely equipped with Shermans; the 1st Guards Mechanized Corps in 1945 was one such. The M4/76 may have a functioning gyrostabilizer (D11.1), and is also equipped with a 2in. smoke mortar (sM8; D13). The “(a)” in the piece name stands for American, for ESB purposes. Note that the M4/76 uses black To Hit numbers and U.S. AP/APCR TK#s.
Well, I read somewhere that this American served in a Soviet tank battalion that had Sherman tanks.

I also believe that the battalion commander was very easy on the eyes!

Thank you for sharing.

Not much known about her, it seems, and the wiki page seems flawed.

You are most welcome.

Yes, a lot of the lower ranking individuals in the Soviet Army do not have a lot of information about their background. But she must have been good if she commanded an armoured battalion at 22-23 years of age!
