The British learned from their experiences with the DAK in North Africa that it was imperitive to retain some control of the battlefield after the battle in order to recover damaged AFV's.
The first custom built Armoured Recovery Vehicle was the Grant ARV Mk.I, but other chassis were soon converted. The Sherman III (M4A2) and Mk.V (M4A4) were the natural choices for conversion to ARV's as these marks represented the largest number of Shermans supplied to Britain. Both ARV's saw wide service in NW Europe.


M4 Sherman ARV Mark I is typically a powerful tank or Armoured Recovery Vehicle (ARV) use during combat for towing or repair of battle-damaged, stuck, and/or inoperable armoured fighting vehicles, such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers (APCs). The M4 Sherman tank was produced in several variants. The United States provided tens of thousands of its Medium Tank M4, also named the Sherman, too many of its Allies during the Second World War.

ARVs are normally built on the chassis of a main battle tank (MBT), but some are also constructed on the basis of other Armoured Fighting Vehicles, mostly Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs).

Design of the M4 Sherman
Just like the M3 Lee, the Sherman’s suspension was of the VVSS (Vertical Volute Spring Suspension) type. The running gear comprised three sets of bogies, each with two paired large rubber-covered roadwheels, a rear adjustable track idler wheel and front drive sprocket connected to the gearbox, and three return rollers.

The Continental R975 engine was an air-cooled, gasoline radial engine delivering 400 hp (298 kW) at 2400 rpm. It was fed by two tanks totaling 660 l (175 gal) of gasoline, which gave around 195 km of practical range (about 120 miles). The power-to-weight ratio was 15.8 hp/ton (11.78 kW/ton). The gearbox was spicer, manual, synchromesh, with 5 forward gears (plus overdrive), one reverse. The controlled differential comprised a built-in brake steering system, which was controlled by levers. There was also a parking brake. The engine compartment contained two fixed large fire extinguishers, manned by a crewmember from the fighting compartment. An auxiliary generator provided extra power and helped warm the engine during cold winters. The main gun had elevation and azimuth control and FM radio liaison with an artillery center for stationary gunnery support. The M4 was rugged and could endure a 2500 miles (4000 km) run before requiring any form of maintenance.

A total of 6748 M4s (from July 1942 to January 1944) were produced, as well as 1641 of the late variant equipped with a 105 mm (4.13 in) howitzer for infantry support, the M4(105). Early models had the three-piece bolted nose, while later models had a mixed cast/rolled hull. The gun mantlet also evolved from the M34 to the more protective M34A. Several Sherman ARV: (Armored Recovery Vehicle) British versions based on the Sherman III (M4A2) and Sherman V (ARV I and ARV II).

Originally modelled in cinema4D without textures. M4 Sherman ARV MK1 3D Model was made for use in architectural visualizations and animations that do not increases dramatically the total polygon count in complete scene. It is created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close to the original.
