Return of the Panther and Smart MaterialsAs many of you who have been following our previous Developer Briefings know, it has been our goal to continuously raise the bar when it comes to the visual fidelity of both past and future content in Hell Let Loose and how Smart Materials play a large role in those efforts. The trusty Sherman holds a place in any WW2 gamer or history buffs heart. Often considered one of the great additions to allied forces during the entirety of WW2.

Working in tandem with well-coordinated Allied infantry, artillery, and air forces, the plentiful and trusty Shermans were able to vanquish most German armoured formations simply by ganging up on them in overwhelming numbers when all else failed. The M4 Sherman was uncomplicated, reliable, and mechanically well constructed. It was the goal of US Army to place the Ford engined Shermans with their updated Second Generation features into the hands of combat troops as quickly as possible. Some of the first M4A3 (75w)s were shipped to Europe in the weeks and months following the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944. Named after General William Tecumseh Sherman, the name quickly caught on and led to the adopted practice of the US Army naming all its tanks after Generals. The name вЂњShermanвЂќ comes from the British tradition of naming its American produced tanks after American Civil War Generals. Those of you who have been with us over the years will know that the Sherman M4A1 was one of the very first vehicles added to the game, and we feel that over the course of time the asset has begun to show it's age. Similar to when the Panzer IV was introduced, this new addition will replace the existing Sherman M4A1. New Sherman M4A3 75wAlong with new Commander Abilities comes a new addition to the vehicle lineup for the US forces - the Sherman вЂM4A3 75wвЂ™.
