Sherman Firefly Vc

Based on the M4A4, the Firefly was a British conversion where the standard 75mm was replaced with the British 17 Pounder Anti Tank gun. The hull machine gun (and gunner) were removed to make additional room for ammunition storage. An external bin was added to the back of the turret in response to the loss of interior space from mounting the much larger gun. Fireflies were allocated on the basis of one Firefly for every three standard Shermans giving a troop of four tanks with sufficient fire
