Model information:

M4A2 (76)W - a diesel modification of the M4 Sherman tank with a welded body and a power unit with two General Motors 6046 diesels, equipped with a new turret and a 76mm cannon with a vertical stabilizer.
The combat deployment of Shermans showed that when armor-piercing shells hit the sides of the tank, the tank is prone to ignition of powder charges of ammunition. In mid-1944, the tank received a new design of ammunition racks, which were moved to the floor of the fighting compartment, and water mixed with antifreeze and a corrosion inhibitor was poured into the gaps between the cartridge nests. Such tanks received the index "(W)" and differed from earlier versions in the absence of additional side armor plates. "Wet" armor had much less tendency to catch fire when the sides of the tank were hit by bullets even in the event of a fire. It was produced from May 1944 to December 1944, a total of 1594 units were produced. Since gasoline was the standard fuel for tank engines in the US Army, diesel M4A2s were supplied primarily under Lend-Lease to the Allies, M4A2 (76) Ws were supplied exclusively to the USSR.
