I used to mechanic for Cummins, and I can attest to the fact that those VT-460 engines, 950 cubic inch displacement, were an excellent piece of power. Trucks would enter a shop requiring a rebuild at 600,000 miles (which was fantastic for those times), and all that required replacing were injectors, piston rings, and main bearings. The rod bearings were turned upside down, and most of the time the PTR fuel pumps were rebuilt along with the heads. The V8 950's came from the factory in three different horsepower ratings -- 380 naturally aspirated and 430/460 turbocharged versions.

An aswer to Lavrentivs . The 95th Battalion under the command of Lt. Colonel Ya'acov Neufeld was equipped with M-50 and M-51 Sherman tanks, that is for sure. The battalion belonged to the 4th Armored Brigade (Res.) which was commanded by Col. Ya'acov Hadar ("Pfeffer"). The brigade was part of the 146th Armored Division (Res.) which was under the command of Brigadier General Moshe Peled ("Musah"). It was a General Staff's strategic reserve division, and organically belonged to Central Command. It was rushed on the 7th of October to the southern sector as the remnants of 188th Armored Brigade (which did not fight under the command of the 7th Armored Brigade ( The battalion of Lt. Col Yair Nafshi ) tried to hold the line. To the best of my recollection the entire 4th Armored Brigade (Res.) was equipped with Sherman tanks.

Having two wheels on each roadwheel axle is almost standard practice, unless the track doesn't use the single center guide horn. And you never need to take off more than two wheels.

A weird question, but can HVSS Sherman be modified to use Hortsmann HVSS from Centurion? Is there enough space? What if it's one of the "long" M4's that previously used Multibank?

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

In theory, I guess, but I can't imagine more than two bogies. Ride might be a bit rough.

[@justforever96]

You CAN modify it to whatever the hell you want, if you are willing to put enough money and effort into it. Question is "is it worth it?" A Centurions bogies are not going to bolt on to an M4 without major changes, if that is what you mean, and the benefit would be so small they would never bother, especially since the M4 was already obsolescent and (they believed) about to be replaced at any time, and they had just spent a bunch of money developing the HVSS it already had.

In 1942 the US tankers complained about the interior heat during desert training so Ordnance hired Kelvinator to design an AC system for the M3 and M4.

@@davidodonovan1699 The US war effort also was responsible for the creation of air conditioned factories and workers' homes in the Deep South, Southwest and Great Plains states. The manufacturers had a labor shortage in the Northern States so had to build new plants were ever workers were available. They also had to provide housing for them since their new labor pool lived in widely scattered towns some distance away. Around 40% of the workforce would be women so they air conditioned the plants and houses to ensure they stayed on the job during the blazing hot and humid Summer months. That kick-started the commercial and home AC industry after the war which led to more people moving to the South and Southwest states to retire since the cost of living was much cheaper.

i imagine their habit of marking the filler ports comes from their wide and ever changing fleet of military vehicles. marking them with welded plates means its no longer quite so critical that the persons they have operating the fuel and supply trucks are familiar with every single type and sub-type that the Israelis had running around at any given time. they just have to find the specific port(s) and put stuff in them.

[@donjones4719]

Yes. Especially useful because so much of the army is necessarily reservists - it was even harder to keep current with the variations, and a reservist suddenly in combat wouldn't be "fluent" in even the ones he knows and could easily make mistakes.

[@chefchaudard3580]

And remember that the guys were fighting for several days or weeks: mistakes happen when you are exhausted and under pressure. Some reminder on the port, if not 'idiot proof', helps.

TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!

[@kennethroll7907]

“The Tank and AFV Blog:” When a tank is penetrated by an armor piercing shell and "brews up", the fire is usually caused by ammunition, not fuel. The Sherman got a bad reputation in the early stages of the Normandy campaign for catching on fire in part due to improper stowing of ammo. Once the US introduced the "wet stowage" system of ammo storage into the M4 Sherman, the rate of tanks that "brewed up" when hit decreased significantly.” “ The British stored ammunition absolutely everywhere. They had incredibly poor ammo discipline and left loose shells siting on seats, outside the tank, on floors, behind boxes. It is also very important to note that AP shells do not explode. Propellant is a low explosive. It pushes, it does not destroy. There are famous pictures of British ammo clips being entirely penetrated by German bullets to no explosion. Explosions happen when High Explosive is detonated” “Ask a historian” “The "burn rate" when a dry stowage Sherman was hit was over 80 percent in some cases. For comparison, the "dry" Panzer IV was just as bad, if not worse, burning even slightly more readily. Wet ammunition stowage decreased the burn rate of Shermans to about 10 to 15 percent.”

[@davidgoodnow269]

Good video! 460 h.p. divided by what final, operational, weight as a power:weight ratio? I guess that building a factory for the past preferred engine was not an option? Not so much industry in Israel back then, certainly not the power source for an iron foundry, blast furnaces, and steel mills even in the 1970's. No Merkava factory then! Just the one question: Why not have a supercharger to increase pressure and burn fuel more cleanly, and not only increase performance *and* fuel economy, but decrease the signature haze that reveals the tank's position?

The fact that the Israelis kept the Sherman in service for so long, means something. They tend to quickly abandon useless or troublesome kit in favour of the more reliable and functional. Rather than be obsessed with the latest and newest tech. The IDF's legendary martial prowess and long range gunnery training more than compensating for shortfalls. If I had to choose an army to serve with, other than the British army. It would be the IDF. That is in no way an insult to my many American friends. It's just how it is.
