M4 Sherman Flame Tank

Sherman flame tanks adapted a common American tank chassis to deliver flame against fortified positions and other difficult targets. Several systems and conversions existed, including arrangements used by American forces in the Pacific and different Commonwealth approaches elsewhere. Their employment depended on specialized fuel, maintenance, training, and support from ordinary tanks and infantry. A generic flame Sherman is therefore distinct from one exact standardized system, because gun retention, projector position, fuel carriage, and campaign history varied.

Different flame-projector systems produced different Sherman variants, including British Crocodile and American Pacific conversions. Their close-support purpose made cooperation with infantry essential, while fuel arrangements and reduced conventional armament created configuration-specific tactical limitations.
