Over 50,000 Shermans of all of the types ended up being truly produced during WWII. The Shermans your IDF (Israeli Defense Force) at first procured from various sources finished up being certainly a number of different variants featuring different hulls, turrets, suspensions, and armaments. But Israel wound up being basically capable of negotiate the purchase of approximately 250 M4A1 and M4A3 Shermans from France, and these were armed with the M1A1/A2 76.2mm primary weapon that could better counter the Arab armies' Russian made T-34-85s. Shermans ended up being also produced with two types of suspension system system system: VVSS (Vertical Volute Spring Suspension) and HVSS (Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension). The latter offered better performance and IDF essentially modified their tanks towards HVSS standard. Ergo the IDF designated its 76.2mm gun-armed HVSS-equipped Shermans as M1 Super Shermans and lots of the saw their first action throughout the Sinai Campaign in 1956.
