If you're new to the channel and enjoyed this video check out some of my others where I go more in-depth into the design and development of various cursed tanks in my Cursed by Design playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLW8JzDrsS3_tTLjF0gzSq3l40sUPWUdHa
As for the Yugoslav Sherman tank with a 122mm gun, I know 100% that there actually were two, because they were located in my military base where I served in the army. That was some 20 years ago. Since that military base does not exist, I don't know what the fate of those two Shermans was, they most likely ended up in scrap metal.
a small tip, the Roem, is pronounced as RO, and M like the letter, row-m, rO'Eam, but i guess it's kinda pointless to spell a pronunciation, sorry for wasting your time
My nominations for more cursed variants: - Mine Exploder T8: Fitted with an array of jackhammers to detonate mines. - Mine Exploder T12: Covered in rockets to blast a path through minefields. - French river monitor L 990: M4 on a boat.
I've never heard of the L 990 before. That is hilarious. I was not expecting it to very literally be an M4 on a boat when I looked it up. I figured it would be the turret, like the Soviet river patrols with theT-34 turrets, not the entire hull minus tracks and all the other motive parts.
I am neither based, nor Sherman pilled. I will henceforth hand in my tank nerd licence and start telling people that the Tiger 2 could 100% beat an M1 Abrams in RUclips comments.
Just tell people it can beat "an M1". But don't tell which M1 you mean. There's like 6 vehicles, and 20+ other pieces of equipment with that designation. (one of them is M1A1... an anti-tank mine used in WWII)
...IDK, the curved shield at least has a _little_ bit of Sherman-ness to it. The box is worse IMHO. ... Though they're both better than the rear mounted gun version!
I used to restore tanks and at one point we had a sherman and a M46 patton in the workshop. We put the pattons turret onto the shermans hull just for the cursed picture. I have proof to back it up if ur interested :)
The M36B Jackson had a Sherman chassis. There were more Sherman chassis available than the standard chassis they needed. The crew like the ball mounted machine gun in the radio operator position as it better gave support against enemy Infantry than the .50 cal M2 on the turret. It was, as remembered, a 90mm gun armed vehicle.
@6:52 Seeing a Dual-Drive (DD) Sherman off-loading from a LST onto the beach rather than driving itself onto the beach is a definite "sorta-defeats-the-purpose, don'tcha think?" moment. 😄
Don't forget to put on Beethoven's 9th symphony while you're at it! "That! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone. Beethoven just wrote music!" 😳😱😭😭😭
I thought I knew a lot about Shermans. I have been humbled and proven wrong. The only ones I knew about was the T10, Aberdeen proving ground M4 Improved and the Persman (M4/T26 but I like the name you came up with for it.) the latter two thanks to WoT and WT. I think I use to know about the T53 but it had faded from my memory. I had expected some of the more well known cursed variants but it was nice to see some of the lesser known oddities like from Argentina and Israel not being the M-51.
I'm surprised you didn't include the Sherman BARV deep wading recovery vehicle made for use after D-day clearing drowned vehicles from the beaches. Or the Post-war Vickers Shervick tractors (basically a surplus sherman chassis converted into a heavy industrial tractor.)
When I was a kid in the 1960s, there was a gutted Sherman hull, in the playground of a local park. It was filled with sand, and the main gun barrel was welded shut. All the small protrusions, were also removed and resulting holes welded and ground smooth. Just something for the kids to climb over. Next to it was an old firetruck, similarly modified.
YOOOO ARGENTINA MENTIONED ANOTHER CORONACIÓN DE GLORIA Jokes aside, my dad did the mandatory military service and was the loader of a Repotenciado in 1974. Luckily, he was too old to fight in Malvinas in 1982
3:00 No wonder you are so confident that we can't guess all of your picks. You included this only-on-drawing-board “variant” instead of those actually fought on battlefields and failed miserably, like the DD variant with only 2 out of almost 80 made it to the shore at Omaha Beach.
Were the Sherman to ever be sold to the public the T-10 is exactly what they'd look like in every hood and every small town south of the Mason Dixon line. In Los Angeles they would have also gone through a spinner phase (a trend that that thankfully died out a while back).
Sad that the T33, T68, and T52 weren’t on this list, but still a good list. Hadn’t heard of the Israeli rocket Shermans before, but otherwise they are all familiar to me.
I also really like the Sherman Railgun. This one had extra engine in the sponson ( ford V8 or V6, but I'm not sure on that one). I only fired couple of rounds ( well darts basically) before the barrel needed to be changed. Still a cool WW2 concept, and definately unique
Have to be honest, didn’t know about the Argentinian one as well as the Israeli-an rocket one. Would love to see more kind of videos like these ones with the T34 and panzer iv
More suggestions: 1. More uncanny valley than cursed, but that (another) Israeli Sherman that had its upper part of the hull shortened. Definitely a "something's wrong with it, but can't point out what" thing 2. IDK if actually real (pics I saw online are very low quality), but apparently, the Japanese experimented with a Sherman up-engined with a turbine. Doubly-cursed because the trials supposedly resulted in a death
#4 had me smiling and it absolutely needs to be added to the Israel tech tree in War Thunder. For #1, the T53 (gunshield) is worse. I approve of the T53E1 (box) for both the better center-of-gravity location of the main gun and the better protection for the crew.
I'd seen all of these before, but the only ones I knew for sure would be on the list were the SO-122 and the Israeli rocket Shermans. I didn't really think about the Ro'em being a cursed Sherman since it's *so* big an alteration you would hardly know from looking at it that it *was* a Sherman, but it fits. But where's the M-50 Degem Yud, the lowrider Sherman?
Some people say the SO-122 fate is unknown It might be in a Museum in the Balkans somewhere Even to this day its Secrets are kept for unknown reasons Despite been Bosnian Myself and wanting the Tank to be seen in History with greater details
I had read a book on the Sherman Tanks while stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky. The only one that I missed was the 155mm box Sherman. I also liked the book so much I bought it. There is a lot of odd Sherman Tanks that did succeed in the job but they were designed for.
One you could have noticed IMO was the ''E'' vehicle with special stowage, wich was a Sherman with a new turret housing searchlight and a75mm gun, a prototype was built on a M4A1, but production vehicles were to be built on M4A3 chassis
You should’ve added the t11 , it’s a Sherman with several hedgehog mortar round launching tubes on the front, it’s still around and it’s at a museum called armor and cav museum down in ft Moore, great place btw
I was pleasantly surprised by how many of these were actually new to me. I wasn't really happy with the vine boom sound effect being used to introduce almost every single number though. Adding memes to your content should always focus on achieving the best timing and quality, not just being thrown in with everything like it's table salt.
The Skink will forever in my heart be the #1 cursed “Sherman” even though it was based off the Grizzly, the Grizzly just looks like an off brand Sherman
I'm not surprised that I was unaware of so many versions of the Sherman but I was a little shocked that the Duplex Drive didn't show up here. For all the faults or vonrability you might normally associate with the M4 - drowning at sea wasn't normally a danger to the crew in most variants. Okm it did work well enough for small rivers and lakes, but still how many other tanks need the crew to wear life-jackets?
Enjoyed the video and learn quite a bit, but was slightly disappointed that the Skink didn't even make it to the honorable mentions. Oh well, to each their own.
Ngl, before the vid I guessed the Sherman with Pershing turret ( due to the thumbnail) Argentinian Sherman ( LATAM shermans do be wildin ) M4 Improved ( I played wot ) The SO-122 ( why tf not, fucking Yugoslavia lolmao ) T10 Mine exploder ( World of tanks again, but actually from their paper modelling scene ) T31 ( I found this one due to Reddit and D day) M4 FL-10 ( World of tanks, lol ) Edit: paper modelling scene not scheme oops
My thoughts: -I fully expected the T52 to make it on the list. Basically a Sherman kugelblitz -I expected the Shrike launcher on the list, much prettier than the MAR-290 -I'm a big fan of the T-33. Imagine the T-31 but for flame throwers instead of rockets, only this one kind of lived on into a production vehicle with the POA flame thrower Shermans. Also it was an HVSS Jumbo, which just looks awesome -The Degem Yud really should have been on this list IMO. I'd argue it's the most unique post-war Sherman. The IDF wanted something lower profile to compete with the Soviet T-55, so they sawzalled the middle out - I feel like special mention should have been given to the Paraguay Repotenciadios since they were in service until 2018. They almost served into the Covid era!
Haha, on a side note, the way you kept saying Cursed on some of those tanks made me think of "The Simpsons" episode where Homer tries to get a gift for Bart and the store owner has items that are "cursed", including the doll and "frogurt" 😅😂😂
Beautiful all of them. Too bad they werent really used. The ones developed in ww2. Instead of building m10 tank destroyers you could have had the sherman td with the 90mm. Would have made it easier to build more rather than focusing on different types of vehicles.
To be fair, I couldn't guess which of the bazillion Shermans and Sherman-based vehicles you'd consider cursed so I gave up on guessing to begin with, but I knew only 4 of them before (and one of the honorable mentions), and the variants mentioned outside the list. I wasn't familiar with the Argentinian super Sherman, Israeli rocket Shermans, mine roller Sherman, demolition Sherman, and the 90mm spg Sherman, plus the second variant of the M4 Improved.
My favorite memory is getting to help re route fuel lines for a M4 with the R975 radial after they determined the original fuel tank was too rotted so we had a 15 gallon plastic fuel tank in the crew compartment
The Skink should be included in this list (Canadian Grizzly Sherman, with special quad 20mm turret; one vehicle saw very brief but extremely effective service, albeit in an anti-infantry & anti-materiel role).
Watching the first nine plus the honorable mentions: Yeah, a little weird, but not too cursed. Seeing the T53: unholy abomination, a crime against all that is good and righteous.
Well since I'm a War Thunder enjoyer myself I have encountered the odd Sherman variant myself so I'll take a guess. - T26 turret - Skink AA At least two of Hobart's funnies so: - Crab minesweeper - Duplex Drive amphibious 'showercurtain' - Israeli M51 Super Sherman Jamming in a gun sideways is both genius and cursed so - Firefly - Calliope - another Israeli abomination, the MAR 240 sideways rocket pod
I am both humbled and amazed at these abominable Sherman variants, most of which I'm not familiar with. More the wiser, thanks for another interesting vid
I'm surprised you didn't mention the T105, Chilean M60, 75mm Krupp Sherman, Indian Sherman armed with the D56-T 76-mm, T52 MGMC or the T36 GMC to name a few
I surprisingly knew almost all of these, the only two I didn't get was the other paper prototype of the Improved Sherman and the 90MM one. And for those who might ask, I personally play War Thunder, and like to look it it's reddit "Suggestions" tab. Some people post asking for these as event/prem/TT vehicles. It's fun as you can find some really strange vehicles in there.
Hard to keep count, was aware of the MLRS (why?), M26 turret, and some of the other "big noses" that never went into US production. But some the other foreign monstrosities, sheesh!
I only found out about the T 53 yesterday so we (me and my brother) barely won. I think the curved gun shield looks worst, but the rear mount also makes me think of the Panzer IV Waffentrager.
Definetly wanna see some of those Shermans in War Thunder either as event tanks, or premiums or even in some cases tech tree vehicles. (And yes you showed some new variants that I wasn't aware of)

The video was posted 10 mins ago, but this comment was made 13 hr ago, how
I think chile made it, m50/51 with the 60mm high velocity gun. They also put that gun in the m24 Chaffee.
As for the Yugoslav Sherman tank with a 122mm gun, I know 100% that there actually were two, because they were located in my military base where I served in the army. That was some 20 years ago. Since that military base does not exist, I don't know what the fate of those two Shermans was, they most likely ended up in scrap metal.

- Mine Exploder T12: Covered in rockets to blast a path through minefields.
- French river monitor L 990: M4 on a boat.
if they ever add french coastal fleet to warthunder and i dont see a L 990 i will be so upset
@@Ontos_M50 they already have these soviet boats with t34 turrets, so i think they will implement that
I've never heard of the L 990 before. That is hilarious. I was not expecting it to very literally be an M4 on a boat when I looked it up. I figured it would be the turret, like the Soviet river patrols with theT-34 turrets, not the entire hull minus tracks and all the other motive parts.
BOAT SHERMAN
BOAT SHERMAN
i just see,
CRAB
CRAB -2 explosive boogaloo
and the frence being cheap-asses trying to out-smug everyone
There are enough Shermans in the world for it to be considered its own species
its funny how true this is
Nah, a whole ecosystem
😂 species, mor than enough maybe a Phylum.
same with t34s
Not even a species, a freaking kingdom😂
Cone casually giving Gaijin more ideas for more Sherman variants
My thoughts exactly. Every tech tree has at least one, so why not through even more in?
More Shermans for God of Shermans!!!

@@pirig-gal Im sure it can beat my M1 Steel Pot
In theory the 15 cm sig 33 can
Tell that to my kinetic sabot with 500mm+ of penetration
Hey a Tiger 2 could easily kill a Sherman. You know assuming the transmission isn't broken and there's only one Sherman.
The last one is definitely, truly, cursed af. Especially the curved shield.
*Waffenträgers your Sherman*
...IDK, the curved shield at least has a _little_ bit of Sherman-ness to it. The box is worse IMHO.
... Though they're both better than the rear mounted gun version!
I used to restore tanks and at one point we had a sherman and a M46 patton in the workshop. We put the pattons turret onto the shermans hull just for the cursed picture. I have proof to back it up if ur interested :)
I'd love to see that
same bro cuz i’m a literal sherman ;)
I would absolutely love to see it
Oh, more Shermans?
*opens bag of popcorn*
Mmm, do tell.

The M4 Improved as it's known in WoT looks like a Schmalturm Sherman
You forgot the Sherman variant that had a piece of pipe to make it look like a 90mm and ammunition filled with paint.
Woof woof!
You forgot it had also two external speakers mounted on the turret.
Here's my other dog impression:
Bark! Bark!
You mean the one in Kelly's Heros
Oh sweet, lemme put on my Clockwork Orange Head Contraption before watching.
Don't forget to put on Beethoven's 9th symphony while you're at it!
"That! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone. Beethoven just wrote music!"

The Argentinian one looked cool and sounded reasonable since they upgraded the engine as well
The things also had smoke projectors. Honestly the part that gets me the most.

I had a pencil sharpener that was a cursed Sherman design. An M4 Sherman with Sd.Kfz. 251 suspension
i have one of these too, but have no idea how or where i got it.
“Try not to modify a well working Sherman”
Israel ground forces: “impossible”
I see what you did there with your outro, when it comes to Shermans I'm always In the Mood.
I didn't get near to guessing six, because most of these were simply up-gunned; in my mind, big-gun Shermans are all in the same category.
2:37 an American Sherman tank that got redesigned by the British that got copied by Argentina with a new french Engine. MISTA WOLDWAID
I'm surprised you didn't include the Sherman BARV deep wading recovery vehicle made for use after D-day clearing drowned vehicles from the beaches. Or the Post-war Vickers Shervick tractors (basically a surplus sherman chassis converted into a heavy industrial tractor.)
Don't forget the Israeli Shermans with the HARM anti radiation missiles
There is also a m4 that had a 122K60 installed for fire tests. That there is a real obscure one.

Were the Sherman to ever be sold to the public the T-10 is exactly what they'd look like in every hood and every small town south of the Mason Dixon line. In Los Angeles they would have also gone through a spinner phase (a trend that that thankfully died out a while back).
Love your videos man!❤
Sad that the T33, T68, and T52 weren’t on this list, but still a good list. Hadn’t heard of the Israeli rocket Shermans before, but otherwise they are all familiar to me.
Tanks you forgot: T52 - Sherman with ball turret / Sherman BARV / T6 / Israeli EYAL / Israeli Kilshon / ETC
Also m4 canal defense light Tank
M4 t105 also
A Bradley without its extra armour plates should be there
Also the M60 Super Sherman
With the canadian m4a5 or smth sherman
Yea my first guess for cursed Sherman variants was the ram, the Canadian Sherman that isn’t even actually based on a Sherman
I also really like the Sherman Railgun. This one had extra engine in the sponson ( ford V8 or V6, but I'm not sure on that one). I only fired couple of rounds ( well darts basically) before the barrel needed to be changed. Still a cool WW2 concept, and definately unique
I admit defeat. the number of variants was surprising. I was ready for the Israeli's versions, but alas, I stand corrected. Nice work.
3:36 I think you’re talking about the m10 tank destroyer but that doesn’t have a 75mm but a 3 inch gun or 76.2mm
Must have written it wrong while making the script
Have to be honest, didn’t know about the Argentinian one as well as the Israeli-an rocket one. Would love to see more kind of videos like these ones with the T34 and panzer iv
T13 definetly should have been on the actual list.. that thing is so derpy xD
As a Texan i feel I have a duty to remind people of our idea for a Sherman. Basicly it was a porcupine of guns mounted all over it xD
More suggestions:
1. More uncanny valley than cursed, but that (another) Israeli Sherman that had its upper part of the hull shortened. Definitely a "something's wrong with it, but can't point out what" thing
2. IDK if actually real (pics I saw online are very low quality), but apparently, the Japanese experimented with a Sherman up-engined with a turbine. Doubly-cursed because the trials supposedly resulted in a death
I knew some sherman variants but i didnt know id see some of the most cursed sherman designs ever. Great video it was very educational
#4 had me smiling and it absolutely needs to be added to the Israel tech tree in War Thunder.
For #1, the T53 (gunshield) is worse. I approve of the T53E1 (box) for both the better center-of-gravity location of the main gun and the better protection for the crew.
I recognized most of them, but the honorable mentions are the only ones I guessed
I knew of all of them but the 155 artillery. That thing is truly strange.
I was hoping to to see the FL-10 and wasn't disappointed
I'd seen all of these before, but the only ones I knew for sure would be on the list were the SO-122 and the Israeli rocket Shermans. I didn't really think about the Ro'em being a cursed Sherman since it's *so* big an alteration you would hardly know from looking at it that it *was* a Sherman, but it fits.
But where's the M-50 Degem Yud, the lowrider Sherman?
How the T31 isnt first is beyond me. Also the M4/Pershing hybrid isnt cursed at all. If it is, so is the PZ III/IV
M4/T26 is absolutely cursed and anyone who thinks otherwise is clinically insane
Wtb the panzer 4/5
I guess we have different definitions of cursed.
That giant mine roller actually looks sort of useful. Or at least something similar to it would be very useful
Some people say the SO-122 fate is unknown
It might be in a Museum in the Balkans somewhere
Even to this day its Secrets are kept for unknown reasons
Despite been Bosnian Myself and wanting the Tank to be seen in History with greater details
I had read a book on the Sherman Tanks while stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky. The only one that I missed was the 155mm box Sherman. I also liked the book so much I bought it. There is a lot of odd Sherman Tanks that did succeed in the job but they were designed for.

Hitler said to replace the gun to a long barrel and no one did it for a year, lol.
Calliope was just… terrifying. You can disable the rockets, but the gun will end you, and you can disable the gun, but the rockets will obliterate you
The T31 demo tank is something that came straight out of Warhammer 40K
You should’ve added the t11 , it’s a Sherman with several hedgehog mortar round launching tubes on the front, it’s still around and it’s at a museum called armor and cav museum down in ft Moore, great place btw

the basic sherman looks cursed enough. Only M3 Lee has a more cursed standart design
The Panther Sherman can’t hurt you, it doesn’t exist.
The Skink will forever in my heart be the #1 cursed “Sherman” even though it was based off the Grizzly, the Grizzly just looks like an off brand Sherman
I never thought I see the day where a Sherman Hull would have the turret shape of 2 oil barrels attached to a Cube 🤣😭 7:02

Ngl, before the vid I guessed the
Sherman with Pershing turret ( due to the thumbnail)
Argentinian Sherman ( LATAM shermans do be wildin )
M4 Improved ( I played wot )
The SO-122 ( why tf not, fucking Yugoslavia lolmao )
T10 Mine exploder ( World of tanks again, but actually from their paper modelling scene )
T31 ( I found this one due to Reddit and D day)
M4 FL-10 ( World of tanks, lol )
Edit: paper modelling scene not scheme oops
It’s hard to believe that some of these were designed by engineers rather than home garage tinkerers.
#1 curved gun shield looks like it was cursed with a case of "Butt Face".
I could see many of these added. Give that last one the option to have either gunshield or even remove it to maximize stealth over health
I don't know a whole lot about Sherman variants that's part of the reason I subscribe to this channel
My thoughts:
-I fully expected the T52 to make it on the list. Basically a Sherman kugelblitz
-I expected the Shrike launcher on the list, much prettier than the MAR-290
-I'm a big fan of the T-33. Imagine the T-31 but for flame throwers instead of rockets, only this one kind of lived on into a production vehicle with the POA flame thrower Shermans. Also it was an HVSS Jumbo, which just looks awesome

Haha, on a side note, the way you kept saying Cursed on some of those tanks made me think of "The Simpsons" episode where Homer tries to get a gift for Bart and the store owner has items that are "cursed", including the doll and "frogurt" 😅😂😂
The lead lined Sherman that took the two scientists to Ground Zero at the Trinity atomic bomb test site.
Beautiful all of them. Too bad they werent really used. The ones developed in ww2. Instead of building m10 tank destroyers you could have had the sherman td with the 90mm. Would have made it easier to build more rather than focusing on different types of vehicles.
You shouldve picked the Kilshon/Gahlilit Anti-radiation missile artery Sherman
To be fair, I couldn't guess which of the bazillion Shermans and Sherman-based vehicles you'd consider cursed so I gave up on guessing to begin with, but I knew only 4 of them before (and one of the honorable mentions), and the variants mentioned outside the list. I wasn't familiar with the Argentinian super Sherman, Israeli rocket Shermans, mine roller Sherman, demolition Sherman, and the 90mm spg Sherman, plus the second variant of the M4 Improved.
All i got was 1 🥲 the Yugoslavian 122mm, but hey, im glad that you're not that kind of RUclipsr who keeps making the same thing or similar to others.
oh come on, that sherman td on the first place looks sexy af, it just needs a good coat of paint
My favorite memory is getting to help re route fuel lines for a M4 with the R975 radial after they determined the original fuel tank was too rotted so we had a 15 gallon plastic fuel tank in the crew compartment

that mine roller takes the cake the top spot looks like an Italian SPG its kind of normal if you ask me, lol. that mine rolling sherman was WHACK
6:23 My initial reaction was : What were they smoking? 🤣🤣🤣
Watching the first nine plus the honorable mentions: Yeah, a little weird, but not too cursed.
Seeing the T53: unholy abomination, a crime against all that is good and righteous.
Well since I'm a War Thunder enjoyer myself I have encountered the odd Sherman variant myself so I'll take a guess.
- T26 turret
- Skink AA
At least two of Hobart's funnies so:
- Crab minesweeper
- Duplex Drive amphibious 'showercurtain'
- Israeli M51 Super Sherman
Jamming in a gun sideways is both genius and cursed so
- Firefly
- Calliope
- another Israeli abomination, the MAR 240 sideways rocket pod
I am both humbled and amazed at these abominable Sherman variants, most of which I'm not familiar with. More the wiser, thanks for another interesting vid
The Sherman tractor is by far my favourite Sherman variant.
Maybe next the most cursed t34 variants
Don't forget the M4 sherman equipped with the hedgehog launchers.
i was already subscribed so "haha on You" :P
Could you make a video on the Soviet G.K.A. 1500 amphibious tank? Despite the lack of info it would be cool, thanks!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the T105, Chilean M60, 75mm Krupp Sherman, Indian Sherman armed with the D56-T 76-mm, T52 MGMC or the T36 GMC to name a few
I surprisingly knew almost all of these, the only two I didn't get was the other paper prototype of the Improved Sherman and the 90MM one.
And for those who might ask, I personally play War Thunder, and like to look it it's reddit "Suggestions" tab. Some people post asking for these as event/prem/TT vehicles. It's fun as you can find some really strange vehicles in there.
Hard to keep count, was aware of the MLRS (why?), M26 turret, and some of the other "big noses" that never went into US production. But some the other foreign monstrosities, sheesh!
I only found out about the T 53 yesterday so we (me and my brother) barely won. I think the curved gun shield looks worst, but the rear mount also makes me think of the Panzer IV Waffentrager.
Definetly wanna see some of those Shermans in War Thunder either as event tanks, or premiums or even in some cases tech tree vehicles. (And yes you showed some new variants that I wasn't aware of)
Sherman Skink not mentioned
Huh?
To be fair they're not really that cursed compared to what's mentioned here
The skink? Not at cursed?…☠️
Firefly isn't cursed
You need to look up the T12 mine exploder and the Degem Yud
Edit: oh and the BARV sherman too
@@rexxmenin my opinion, the firefly is aesthetically pleasing
The Ro'em SPG actually garnered an out loud "What the fu-??" from me
Mom i want a Waffenträger!
Mom: We have Waffenträger at home (T-53 Program)
Love the Vine booms when transiting between sections
Most I have never seen nor heard of such as the Israeli and Argentinian Sherman variants.👍
Yugoslavia mentioned
I was hoping the SO122 would make it onto here. Hoping someday it stumbles its way into either WT or WoT
