found it ! took me long enough cause sharpening the edges didnt work ingame, it was : Remove Custom Split Normals: If shading is still broken, go to the Object Data Properties tab, find Geometry Data, and click Clear Custom Split Normal Data

and the soon to be il m10

17pounder Achilles (76 mm) seen here as the middle tank in the image, though for some reason if I fuse the gun brake with the gun the then updated model crashes the game.

remaking the gun brake....grrrrrr

still can't fathom why this junky piece crashes the game if I weld it to the gun tube !!!!

The Il Achilles were used from 1952-1966 both in training and operations

note the scour mark next to the MG on the mantlet !

new 17 pounder (76 mm) muzzle brake for the Il Achilles, they also had one with the French M50 gun...

now I just hope this new muzzle brake doesn't crash the game

Israeli Achilles Tsalaf Finally in game !!!! made it its own ammo too as that was a very - 1204 m/s -gun !

there will be another version with the French cn 50 75 gun as they made a few original model here https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/m10-wol ... bd894e5610

has a nice inside too which I edited some, have to fix the uv map still now

Got a nice model for the archer in-game!

That's for an Egyptian Faction 1956 and or Italy and Europe 1944-1945

here is the wip on the Archer with Egyptian skin color from rl, and M4A1 FL-10 The M4A4 FL-10 at the Yad La-Shiryon Museum in Latrun, Israel. Source: reddit.com But modifying the Sherman’s turret as Israel was doing was very expensive. Thus, it was preferred to directly install the FL-10 Type A early production turret of the AMX-13-75 on the vehicle. This was lighter and less armored than the standard Sherman turret. The main armament would be the same as on the AMX-13-75 and the M-50, the CN-75-50 cannon.

The prototype was built based on an M4A1(75)W ‘Large Hatch’ hull, but Compagnie Générale de Construction de Batignolles-Châtillon planned to produce this Sherman variant on any type of Sherman hull, from the M4 to the M4A4, depending on the buyer’s requirements.

The Armée de Terre was not impressed with the new modified Sherman prototype. The vehicle’s characteristics, apart from the armament, remained roughly equal, if not inferior to, a standard Sherman (76)W.
The M4A1 FL-10 had a maximum speed of only 38 km/h and was a very tall tank, 3 meters exactly, thus losing two characteristics of the AMX-13-75, speed and concealability. Another problem was that the turret was too light and poorly armored, which would have affected the ballistic protection of the vehicle, resulting in it being unable to resist even smaller caliber weapons, such as 20 mm Armor Piercing (AP) rounds.

The project was therefore abandoned by the Armée de Terre and was proposed to the Israelis as an economic alternative to their project of arming the Sherman with CN-75-50 cannons. They flatly refused.

Even if they were already working with Israeli technicians on the M-50 prototypes, the French had no problem working with Egypt in order to improve on the old Sherman. After contacting the French, the Egyptians asked them to re-engineer their M4A4 fleet.

The Egyptian Shermans were all M4A2(75)D and M4A4(75)D tanks, all equipped with dry storage racks and small hatches. From photographic evidence, all 50 vehicles that were converted with the FL10 turret were M4A4(75)D variants. The frontal armor was 51 mm thick sloped at 56°, 38 mm at 0° on the sides and 38 mm at 20° at the rear. The lower armor was 25 mm thick, while the roof armor was 19 mm.

Welded to the sides of the vehicles, near the side ammunition racks, were armor plates 25 mm thick armor plates one on the left side and two on the right side, giving a total thickness of 63 mm.
Some M4A4 FL10s received three plates per side to increase protection. This modification was probably done by the Egyptians after the French modifications of 1955. The three 25 mm armor plates on the sides of the M4A4 FL-10s. Source: svsm.com

M4A4 FLT and M4 Sherman for the Egyptian side

Egyptian FL10 sherman

The cannon mounted in the FL10 turret was the CN-75-50 (CaNon 75 mm Modèle 1950), also known as the 75-SA 50 (75 mm Semi Automatique Modèle 1950) L.61.5, with a 4.612 m long barrel. This powerful French high-speed gun was curiously derived from the 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 42 L.70 of the Panzerkampfwagen V ‘Panther’.

better skin in game

Egyptian IS-3 Tank, 100 received from 1955, nb this is a rework of the games T-10m for now
