During World War II, the M4 Sherman medium tank series proved to be an essential asset to Allied efforts in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific theatres of war.

The M4 Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively low-cost, and easy to produce that helped the Allies win the ground war through sheer numbers.

The M4 design was put through numerous tests and programmes, to ensure that it remained a viable presence on the battlefield, especially against the latest generation of German tanks. 

As a result, the Sherman was constructed in numerous generations over the course of its service life.

The M4 Sherman was produced in several variants and it was also the basis for a number of related vehicles.

Here are three of the top Sherman variants considered by many as the best Sherman model that saw combat in WWII.
