>>6544889If you want to do a m4 hellccat or what ever as a what if/prototype/field modification go for it. Had the war gone on into 46+ a variant of the Sherman with the hellcats turret and gun is possible and crews had done some really weird field modifications ( a Stuart with a German pak 40 mounted in place of the turret yes that real)
>pic is a Sherman with a Pershing turret I think this >... "As a result of the crisis in Normandy, Brig. Gen, Joseph A. Holly returned to the US in July '44. As Chief of the Armor Section for the ETO, he was directed by Gen. Eisenhower to expedite the production and shipment of more powerfully armed tanks and tank destroyers, particularly those with 90mm guns. During his visit to the Detroit Arsenal, Gen. Holly viewed a Sherman armed with the 90mm gun M3. This was an M4 fitted with a Pershing type 90mm gun turret. Since both tanks had 69 inch turret rings, such an installation required only stowage changes and modifications to obtain adequate clearance between the turret assembly and some components on the tank hull. The experimental vehicle was fitted with the early vertical volute spring suspension (VVSS) and with the 16-9/16 inch wide track."... R.P.Hunnicutt - A History of the American Medium Tank:
