U.S. M4A3 Sherman

With nearly 50,000 units produced, the M4A3 Sherman is a byword for longevity, and this 75mm gun-toting tank was one of the keys to the Allied triumph in WWII. It was powered by a V8 gasoline engine and featured a welded hull. The Sherman can roughly be divided into early (from June 1942) and late (from February 1944) production variants, the late production Shermans being recognizable by their single-piece frontal armor, commander's cupola and loader's hatch, plus wet ammo storage. They served both in Europe after the Normandy landings, and in the Pacific Theater as the Allies ground toward victory.

Battle System

This battle system emanates infrared light when the gun is fired. When the light sensor unit receives a hit, MC-06 Control Unit produces various effects such as damage and engine trouble sounds, speed reduction, as well as the depression of the main gun when "knocked out".

Easy Operation

Left stick controls forward/reverse and left/right turning, while right stick controls turret rotation and gun elevation. Main/machine gun firing and engine start/stop can be operated by 4 buttons. Volume adjustment and tank mode change can also be operated by the transmitter.
