The Addition of the new gun (M1A1) only made the Sherman more effective. In spite of being outweighed by the German tanks later in the war, the Sherman still proved more effective overall than the Panther according to a US Army Ballistic Research Lab study. In the film Fury, the main tank, Fury, is an M4A3 76 W HVSS Sherman, with "FURY" painted on the barrel of the main cannon. However, in the film it inaccurately says that the Shermans 76mm M1A2 couldn't penetrate the frontal armour of the Tiger which it in real life could. The Easy Eight was so effective that it was still effective well into the Korean War. With the addition of the 76mm M1A2 gun, the Easy Eight could penetrate the frontal armor of Heavily armoured german tanks like the Panther and the Tiger. The M4 Sherman, officially the Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank used by the United States and the other Allies in World War II, and proved to be a reliable and highly mobile workhorse. The M4A3 76 W HVSS Sherman is a variant of the M4 Sherman.
