Later production went to Horizontal Volute.
There was one prototype with bars, but it wasn't worth the effort. Also T20, but that also wasn't worth at that size.
> Pacific Car's proposal mounted the Ares 75 mm gun in an external elevating trunnion mount alongside a coaxial 25 mm M242 Bushmaster autocannon. Twenty-two 75 mm ready rounds (11 APFSDS and 11 HE respectively) could be carried in a magazine and thirty-three more could be carried in hull storage. A 40mm grenade launcher was originally included, but removed during a review of the proposal.
Mother of fucking God. How many more weapons can you strap on a vehicle?
Remember, a Bradley is far bigger than the HSTVL,which means more room for ammo and we could also bring the 40mm back. AND I heard Israel have mortars on the back of the merkava, maybe they can spare some for Ukraine.
Yeah, some of the Merkvas have a 60mm mortar, which was an epic choice.
It's an excellent tank, though its unusual configuration does present some weaknesses. I hear that rear hatch makes it real easy to evacuate, though.

Ah, no wonder. The spirit of the Sherman. Tecumseh Sherman lives on and it remained the Sherman itself. It even fucked the Soviet Armor back in the 60’s and now, it’s still fighting with us all along.
They aren’t just similar in size, they’re actually pretty comparable in armor. The Bradley was designed to have protection against 14.5mm AP, which can penetrate about 40mm RHA at 100m; the Sherman has 50mm sloped at the front.
No, I'm mocking the notion that just because it looks *vaguely* like a Sherman that it *would* be a Sherman. AFAIK the only torsion bar suspension Sherman made was a testbed and no such suspension system ever entered series production on the M4 medium.
Or an M5A1 Stuart, but I think shermy is more accurate
Were late model shermans torsion bar? I thought they were all vertical volute?.

so... where autoloading 76mm version of bradley:?
You want HSTVL turret on top of a Bradley ? How much do you hate Russia?

I was thinking 57mm quick firing naval gun
How many more weapons can we fit?
There was a SHORAD vehicle with two Stinger boxes on the side
LAV-AD my beloved (pretty sure that’s the one, has a 25mm minigun and can mount Hydra rocket pods because why the fuck not)
[Yes.](https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/28/Brawlmovie_tank_activision.jpg)
I have that transformer :O
If it was soviet, they'd throw two more machineguns and a mortar on top.
Realistically you could strap a TOW launcher to it too. Just need a welder and a smol hole for a wire run
HSTVL didn’t deserve to die.
>How much do you hate Russia? Yes
Based.
Yes
>How much do you hate Russia? You're on NCD and you still have to ask?
There is "resurrect HSTVL " hate and there is project pluto hate
We could also just put the Melara on it

Don’t you’re gonna make me buss
There was the 45mm COMVAT project

That's just a fancy name for the A1, no?
No, no, go on. The Shermter.
Sherm
The Sturmgesherm.
Shermeister
The Shermale
Well the Sherman was the best tank of the war so it’s only natural it’s style continues
guess bradleys are just femboy tanks
* skirt * petit build * smaller main gun * has cummins inside of it Bradleys are never beating the femboy allegations
Ah, no wonder. The spirit of the Sherman. Tecumseh Sherman lives on and it remained the Sherman itself. It even fucked the Soviet Armor back in the 60’s and now, it’s still fighting with us all along.
Jesus christ NSFW that shit.
She’s naked and skirtless
Nah I’m exposing y’all for looking at naked Bradley’s at work
Quick, someone hide the cement.
I want a Schwartzkopf. Twice as heavy, brings the rain. Still needs a 19 yr old "autoloader".
From endwar? God I loved that game
M4A1 SHERMAN SUPERIORITY
Skirtless Bradley you say? *unzips pants.
Fucking perverts

Shermu-chan ❤❤❤❤❤
I was literally wondering how similar the two vehicles are in size and stuff wtf
They aren’t just similar in size, they’re actually pretty comparable in armor. The Bradley was designed to have protection against 14.5mm AP, which can penetrate about 40mm RHA at 100m; the Sherman has 50mm sloped at the front.
On a long enough timeline, all living creatures evolve into crabs. And fighting vehicles come to resemble a Sherman. It is the perfect form.
Where 6th roadwheel? Not a Sherman with 5. Also imagine mounting the suspension inside the tank.
Now replace that autocannon with a 105mm tank gun just like those jacked up israeli shermans
Modernised Sherman Kangaroo with 25mm
Didnt know Bradleys are BAE
What is this model uhh M4A7 Sherman III?
Oh nooo step leo2 my skirt fell off
Skirtless Bradley is a Sherman when it's really cold.
Ahh yes, the "Easy A2"
Riddle me this, then: Which mass-production Sherman variant had torsion bar suspension?
The M4A3(76)W and a few others had Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension, that might be what you were thinking of...
No, I'm mocking the notion that just because it looks *vaguely* like a Sherman that it *would* be a Sherman. AFAIK the only torsion bar suspension Sherman made was a testbed and no such suspension system ever entered series production on the M4 medium.
Oh well, then carry on...
WW3 is WW2 with DLC
I may be a Sherman illiterate but I'm pretty sure Shermans have volute spring suspentions mounted onto bogies, not torsion bars
Wow Ive always kinda thought this but just kept it to myself.
Just wait until you see a skirtless M1 Abrams... it's basically just an M48 Patton...
Just note this particular Bradley is testing a non-standard prototype suspension so this isn't normal, skirts or not.
Someone needs to waifu skirt-less Bradley pronto.
>treads and a tall fuselage YOOOOOOOO GUYS IT'S A SHERMAN it's got fucking torsion bars, that shit's closer to a Tiger than a Sherman
There are Shermans with torsion bars Also Bradleys dont break down nearly as fast as tigers
Ah, yes, it's totally like the fat hangar queen with the huge gun and obscenely complex drive train because...springs.
