"Any suggestions on how to make it more realistic?"
Doug, set it on fire. The M4 earned nicknames like "Ronson" because the
ammunition in early models had a tendency to catch fire when the tank was
hit. (Ronson manufactured cigarette lighters with the advertising slogan,
"Lights the first time.") They had a strange engine made from five six
cylinder truck engines arranged radially around a common crankshaft.
Gasoline was the fuel. German tanks used diesel fuel. Later versions were
much improved. In the late 1940's Israel bought a bunch of Shermans and
hot-rodded them. They enhanced the armor, swapped in new more powerfull
engines, and much bigger guns. It was these "Shermans" that foughy in the
Six Day War in 1967.
