Tanks are considered one of the most important weapons during war. Along the same lines as the "Porsche" turret for the Tiger II, it's just such a normalized thing that the distinction really only matters in the most technical senses.Main battle tanks (MBTs) progressed from basic and light to big, sophisticated, and highly mobile during the Cold War, with advances in weapons and countermeasures. But I digress The HVSS system was not one of these features, and as such tanks entering service with HVSS bogies would receive the HVSS suffix on their name.Īll that said, the terms "M4A3E8" or simply "E8" and the M4A3(76)W HVSS are so commonly associated that at this point trying to separate them is almost as much a meme as anything else. It should be pointed out that all of these examples were either relatively expedient modifications taken to fill an urgent requirement, or simply modifications which the US wished to combat test, but lacked sufficient time to standardize. Notable exceptions being vehicles such as the M4A3E2 assault tank and various modifications of the Pershing very late in the war. So M4A3E8, in a technical sense, really only denotes any M4A3 tank with HVSS bogies it has nothing to do with the armament.Īt the same time, the US GENERALLY didn't send tanks into combat with new components or features until they were standardized. So the "E8" suffix refers to tanks used in the evaluate program for the HVSS system.
