The first gun to be installed in the M4 Turret, but it unbalanced the turret though and the gun barrel was also too far forward, making it more difficult to transport and it kept hitting the ground. Ordnance reduced the barrel length by 15 inches, which decreased performance by 10%.

After World War II, the Sherman remained a common U.S. tank in the Korean War. It was no longer the primary tank for the U.S so it fought alongside the M26 Perishing and M46 Patton. The Sherman and T-34 were could destroy each other when hit. The Sherman had better optics, which gave it a better chance of scoring a first round hit. The Army replaced the Sherman with the Patton in 1950. The U.S kept on sending the Sherman to its allies.
