Beute Shermans

[SCG_Baryonyx]

Hello! After completion of my Gruppe Fehrmann project, I bring you the next one. Sherman tanks captured by the Germans and pressed into service!

Also known under the official designation "PzKpfw. M4 748(a)". The letter in bracket refers to the country of origin of the captured vehicle.

Many were also used without their turrets as ammunition carriers or armored recovery vehicles. Though in this project I will only work on M4A2 versions due to other versions looking too unsimilar, especially those with the cast, round hull.

 

I am aware that the use of these skins might be limited. You can use them together with german tanks in the custom battle missions, or make your own missions that allow the Axis side access to Shermans.

 

According to Mark Felton, the first one is a formerly soviet Sherman.

My special thanks go to:

DigitalForms and ICDP for creating the skin template, which is awesome to work with.

 

Please let me know your opinions and feedback. If you know of any references for these tanks that I have not already included, please post them too. (Only M4A2 please)

given the near invincibility of the Sherman in this game it could be fun.

The second skin has been released now, depicting a vehicle which has been painted over a lot more hastily that the first one, from the looks of it.
