Really this tank will get nerfed so bad, it use a French gun and shell and soon will be nerfed to the ground because Gaijin hate France so don't buy it.
You know I saw one of these tanks being hauled by a semi truck many years ago, the truck pulled into a gas station and I turned around and took a picture of it which I still have, I never realized how tall the Sherman is. Such a cool tank.
Hey Phly, I'm ashamed to admit while you were in the intro position, I was the guy giving you fly bys in the Israeli Spitfire. I was so excited that you were in my game and hope I wasn't too annoying. Keep up the good work man ❤
I almost didn't get it after Oddz' vid, but I felt he was using it as HEAT--which yeah, it says it is--instead of like APCR or APDS so I got it. Treat it like a needle instead of a hammer, despite that it should as it's HEAT, and this tank does so much better. I've almost consistently had at least an ace in this thing.
lol, i keep getting wiped by t-34's in my PVKV II / m-43 because no matter where i aim it either hits the drivers hatch or glances off the side of the turret.
The M51 is about as crazy as any production Shermans ever got; however some Slavic country (of course I can't remember which one, maybe it was Czechoslovakia) did experiment with fitting the Russian 122mm gun from the IS-2 into the Sherman. I believe they had a few prototypes of these.
PhlyDaily the IDF had two upgraded Shermans the first was the M50, this was a Sherman upgraded with a French copy of the Panther 75mm L70. That is the same gun you find on the AMX-13 just no autoloader. The M51 is the one you are playing here. That is the same gun that is on the AMX-30 but with one meter taken off the gun tube to drop recoil down a bit. The other possibility is that the Israelis upgraded one last time a group of M50s in the 80s for Chile with a 60mm hyper velocity that was designed to kill T-62. There is also a Argentina Sherman Firefly rearmed with a similar 105mm to the M51. Finley the M50 and M51s were never called Super Shermans that is only M4A3E8s in IDF service.
"The Sherman can deal with the German armour at the range that the Germans deal with the Sherman armour." The Sherman knows where it is at all times, it knows this because it knows where it isn't. The Sherman can deal with the German armour at the range that Herman deals with the Vermin armour. The Vermin cannot deal with the Merman armour at ranges where the Merman can deal with the Mormon armour. By subtracting the Mormon armour from Norman's armour, it arrives at a difference or deviation. Ooh, reindeer. ... I haven't had my tea yet. Day 24: Take the Scimitar out and do some MCLOS missile CAS.
If anything, I think this thing would do better at a higher BR. A lot of the WWII tanks are more spaced out and harder to take out with HEAT. There are also more light tanks the higher you go
Israel has multiple Sherman variations. There is also an M50 Sherman that has a long barreled, high velocity 75 mm gun, similar to the French M4A4 SA50 but with a different breech, variations with the ammunition, and the T23 turret, unless I’m mistaken. The Israelis also used the Sherman chassis as the base for multiple vehicles including but not limited to APC’s and self-propelled howitzers.
Hey Phly been watching your videos for a couple months now since I've just recently started playing war thunder on PC. I've learned and used the stuff you do in my matches with great effect!
The APFSDS round arrived in IDF hands in the exact same year they retired their M51's, 1977. They probably never fired it. But this gun will chamber it. Most of these M51s became 120mm and 160mm SP mortar carriers, but a few were handed over to the Lebanese Christians.
To answer to Steve questions yes. The M-60 Chilean Super Sherman it was a M-50 Sherman with a 60mm HVMS Gun and a new more powerfull American engine. Basically imagine one of those italian cars with darts on a sherman chasis.
@@Theo2lag According to Mark Nash at the Tank Encyclopedia : "These 60 mm-armed Shermans were known by a few different names. The most popular of these is the ‘M-60’. The Chilean Army christened it ‘M-60’ after the 60 mm gun. However, it is also known as the ‘M-50/60mm’ or ‘M-50 (HVMS)’." There are also some other publications that reference the m-60 nomenclature.
I keep facing this thing whilst playing 5.3 and 5.7 Russia and it’s a total pain. Long range sniping with most hits causing immediate kills or massive damage. My only moment of triumph was putting a shell through its front plate with a T-34 at just over 1650 yards
Everything based on armor is kind of meme now. sometimes when all the gods of matchmaking are on your side, you can pull a nice game but most of the time you move slowly to a place were a sneaky bicycle with a 400mm of pen modern gun OS you from the front.
Heavies have been meme tanks for years now. The Brits at first made Axis heavies obsolete in short to medium ranges and after them, all the HEAT slinging NASCAR cars took care of any other niche use heavies had. The last bit of fun with heavies you can still have is in low tier and even then you'll get oneshot by howitzers hitting you with HE shells.
There is also the M-50 Sherman. It has the high velocity 76mm gun. Still has the extra weight because they extended the back of the turret to make room for the recoil of the gun.
These things took on their own kind of Egyptian Army Shermans(the upgunned version of Sherman with Amx 13 tank gun) T-34s, T-62s and T-54s in the desert. they're fully capable of taking them all on.
Talking about different Israeli Shermans is quiet interesting because all of the Israeli Shermans in one way or another were different from eachother, The M51 for instance had many different Sherman hulls, since there were so many after the war left and given to many countries, Many M51s and M50s were either M4A1s or A4s and as they progressed they received many upgrades over their service.
"everyone should bring as much ammo as they can" "if this thing touches ammo its dead" this is why i bring low ammo ill never use 50 shots and it makes heat a poor choice
There's another Israeli postwar Sherman with a 60mm high-velocity gun, and also some SPG and rocket artillery variants that could perhaps make it in...
Just a cool fact about the Israeli shermans: yes, they had a few other crazy variants as well, one of which is *technically* already in the game but also not really (the french M4A4 SA50). The M50 Sherman (the one that existed just before the M51 here) is basically the french M4A4 SA50, but with a few mish-mash of engines, HVSS suspension and just 50.cals and 30.cals welded onto the turret and a whole bunch of other bits and pieces added here and there. The M60 sherman (which I believe is an Argentinian upgraded variant of the M50), is basically just an M50 Sherman but with a 60mm High Velocity gun that fires APDS. Dunno too much on this tank but I feel like it'd belong around the same BR as the M51 in WT. Also if you're wondering why the 105 or the big boy 75 actually works in the Sherman it's because that massive bustle in the back is actually mostly solid so it can be used as a big fuggen counter weight for the 105 or 75. Edit: Holy shit this thing went through the T-34's driver hatch at 7:15
not israeli, but argentina had a 105 french gunned sherman with a cummins diesel (called sherman repotenciado), chile did some mods back in the 60s/70s too. theirs had a 60mm hyper velocity gun. and i think egipt also had some weird one. or maybe it was a captured m51.
I'm pretty sure Argentina probably got those from the Israelis. And the 60mm high velocity gun modification for the Sherman was bought from Israel as well.
I also think there will be another M51 in the regular TT. This variant use the M4A3 hull, but the most common hull used was the M4A1 Large Hatch, hull, that gave more space for the ammunition.
i can see them bumping it up to 6.3 or 6.7 but i think the absolute max it should go is 7.7, where it would be at its most historical, at the worst fighting the t62 and STRV 103C among others and at the best fighting tiger 2, super pershings, t44-100, at least thats where i'll be putting it in my personal line ups
@@Kashchey1 ah because at any tier it will die, but its gun will pen just about anything it sees up until 9.0, and being slow isnt the worst thing, and the final part i dont think you acknowledged, IM going to do that regardless of what BR it gets edit: also for some reason my reload on it is 7.5 not 9.7 was it changed?
it shouldn’t go any higher than 6.3 because this thing is shit. everything about it is absolutely terrible besides the gun which has bad damage. it shouldn’t go to 7.7 because it would get clubbed by everything.
We already have the other israeli sherman in the French tech tree, the M4A4 (SA50) as that would be the M50 super sherman. Israel also had a 155mm SPG mounted on a sherman chassis though obviously it does look quite a bit different then a regular sherman. But technically yes, a converted sherman to have a 155mm gun to use as an SPG. Which honestly I could imagine as the first "TD" for Israel.
Phly: If you take less ammo, you expect to get hit and die. So, if you take full ammo, you expect to survive, and thus survive! Me, an Intellectual: You see Komrade, if you take less ammo, you hit enemy more, because you are too afraid of wasting your little ammo))))
phly I think you forgot the italian sherman (m36e1 or something...) with the 90mm 305mm pen heat FS....it's actually better with more speed and acceleration, as well as a more effective heat round...maybe less muzzle velocity and pen but still seems better at 6.3...
Yeah it's very similar but it's different, just because the m36b1 is m36 with sherman chassi in fact the turret is open on top. I repeat, they are similar but different Ps: the m36a1 is at 5.7
I don’t care what anyone says, I love my M4A3 105 Sherman. It’s not the best tank in the world, but it gets the job done. How does it go? “This is my tank. There are many like it but this one is mine.”
This tank is so fucking toxic. 400mm of pen at any range at 6.0 is game busting. It's like armor just doesn't exist anymore when you have a 6.0 that can kill a Maus or a J-tiger at any range. It's beyond ridiculous. They just added a vehicle to game which effectively removes 8-10 vehicles from the game, because they're useless now. This thing needs to go up to 7.7. I mean fuck, even the IKV91 is 7.0, though it should at least be 7.3. 400mm HEAT has absolutely no business being in the same game as H1 Tigers. These things dominate long range shooting maps.
"Today we are being powered and sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends! If you guys *haven't* heard of Raid Shadow Legends-" Phly, trust me, I think the whole of youtube knows about it.😂
Phly! Probably expect the Sherman M-60 modified by Chile, which was a 60mm high velocity cannon that shoots apfsds that pens a 120mm plate at 60° over 2km!!
i think the main reason the first panther failed to kill you is he probably didn't recognize you or knew you were a new tank so he didn't know where to shoot, or maybe he thought you were a jumbo
Hey Phly.... just wondering.. have you ever figured out how many cannon rounds you have fired? (over the whole time you have played?)your long range gunnery is simply crazy.. hitting anything at that kind of range is really impressive.
Tbh I like the HEAT rounds on this thing. 400mm of pen and can punch straight through a tiger 2 Hull. Just aim for the right side and you knock the driver and gunner. Effectively disabling it
Israel did use other weird Sherman modifications. This tank uses the same gun used on the AMX-13-105, which is just a shorter version as the 105mm cannon found on the AMX-30. The HEAT round could barely called a normal HEAT, as it was designed to have similar characteristics as a HEAT-FS before HEAT-FS had proven itself. The other weird Israeli modification would be the M4A3 SA-50 that we already have in-game. It is designated as the M-50. Phly, if you want an answer to your question and want to play the other modification as quickly as you can, play the M4A3 SA-50 in the French tree. Because it's literally that tank. (Gaijin put that tank in the French tech tree because we need a filler at 4.7/5.0)
Merkava to progress the entire tech tree M51 to completely rape German heavy tanks with severy undertiered HEAT slinger If you go with M51 be wary that its BR will most likely go up to about 6.7 after the hype around it goes down and sales with it.
fun the m51 is actually supposed to have a 0,50 cal. on top but it has a 0,30 cal. also i would love to see the m50 sherman which is just a regular 76 one but with heatfs.
The average person playing this tank right now is so sweaty and over-salted, it's great. You blast him, he comes back with backups. You blast those, he comes back in his CAS plane, and then that is backed up. Always feels good yeeting golden whales.
Hey Phly, would you be open to doing a detailed guide for using rangefinder? How to set it up in the settings, use it most efficiently etc. ? Cuz I've gotten to the tier where I can use it but I'm a tad lost
@@IronPhysik there’s no evidence of it fighting IS-3s, not saying it didn’t, but there was statements saying the M51 Isherman fought the early model T-72s but it didn’t say whether it did well or not

Amazingly these where still in use during the Yom Kippur War and they faced and defeated t-55 and t-62 tanks.
The difference is IRL HEAT obliterates a tank if penetrates.
@@Kashchey1 funny thing is that the israelis never used HEAT with M51
Phly: If you take less ammo, you expect to get hit and die. So, if you take full ammo, you expect to survive, and thus survive!
Me, an Intellectual: You see Komrade, if you take less ammo, you hit enemy more, because you are too afraid of wasting your little ammo))))
What did Phly do to set the distance at 17:30 and is that available for every tank?
You just have to bind it in controls and its for every tank
When other nations are getting your tanks before you:
*Sad french noises*
phly I think you forgot the italian sherman (m36e1 or something...) with the 90mm 305mm pen heat FS....it's actually better with more speed and acceleration, as well as a more effective heat round...maybe less muzzle velocity and pen but still seems better at 6.3...
Yeah it's very similar but it's different, just because the m36b1 is m36 with sherman chassi in fact the turret is open on top. I repeat, they are similar but different
Ps: the m36a1 is at 5.7
The m36b1 is 5.7. Also the french HEAT performs just like HEATFS.
@@emaacqua2163 yeah. the m36b1 is just straight up better.
"udder monster" just imagining cow's udder being a monster
I don’t care what anyone says, I love my M4A3 105 Sherman. It’s not the best tank in the world, but it gets the job done.
How does it go? “This is my tank. There are many like it but this one is mine.”
This tank is so fucking toxic. 400mm of pen at any range at 6.0 is game busting. It's like armor just doesn't exist anymore when you have a 6.0 that can kill a Maus or a J-tiger at any range. It's beyond ridiculous. They just added a vehicle to game which effectively removes 8-10 vehicles from the game, because they're useless now. This thing needs to go up to 7.7. I mean fuck, even the IKV91 is 7.0, though it should at least be 7.3.
400mm HEAT has absolutely no business being in the same game as H1 Tigers. These things dominate long range shooting maps.
"Today we are being powered and sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends! If you guys *haven't* heard of Raid Shadow Legends-"
Phly, trust me, I think the whole of youtube knows about it.😂
Phly! Probably expect the Sherman M-60 modified by Chile, which was a 60mm high velocity cannon that shoots apfsds that pens a 120mm plate at 60° over 2km!!
It was never called M60, the Chilean kept the M50 denomination
@@Theo2lag Sure, it’s just a nickname
There is a Yugoslav Sherman with 122mm gun called SO 122, I think they should add it as well, it would be really interesting.
NO PLEASE NO
More cancerous 5.0 tank?
"I don't expect to get shot"
Gets shot in the first 30 seconds 💀💀
M-51: 6.0
Meanwhile entire U.S. Sherman tree:
i think the main reason the first panther failed to kill you is he probably didn't recognize you or knew you were a new tank so he didn't know where to shoot, or maybe he thought you were a jumbo
Phly there's another variant of the Sherman, that being the M60 Sherman from Chile. Would love to see it in game.
It was never called M60, the Chilean kept the appelation M50.
Hey Phly.... just wondering.. have you ever figured out how many cannon rounds you have fired? (over the whole time you have played?)your long range gunnery is simply crazy.. hitting anything at that kind of range is really impressive.
Tbh I like the HEAT rounds on this thing. 400mm of pen and can punch straight through a tiger 2 Hull. Just aim for the right side and you knock the driver and gunner. Effectively disabling it
Israel did use other weird Sherman modifications.
This tank uses the same gun used on the AMX-13-105, which is just a shorter version as the 105mm cannon found on the AMX-30. The HEAT round could barely called a normal HEAT, as it was designed to have similar characteristics as a HEAT-FS before HEAT-FS had proven itself.
The other weird Israeli modification would be the M4A3 SA-50 that we already have in-game. It is designated as the M-50. Phly, if you want an answer to your question and want to play the other modification as quickly as you can, play the M4A3 SA-50 in the French tree. Because it's literally that tank. (Gaijin put that tank in the French tech tree because we need a filler at 4.7/5.0)
the T 28: *nervous sweating*
Another great video ! Coincidentally, last night I watched part 1 of The Tank Encyclopedia's video on the M-51.
Crazy Sherman variant information. The Israelis sold some of their old Shermans to the Chileans, who put the gun from the premium AUBL/74 HVG in them.
Phly, any way you could take a screenshot of your graphics settings page? I’m curious about your adjustments. Thanks.
Oddbawz: this thank is bad
Phly: this thing is a monster, buy it
its funny, because Odd got a nuke with his M-51, like... if it is so bad.. how did you get a nuke???
still debating M51 or the Merkava (hope a vid is coming soon on that too)
decisions decisions
I would go for the merkava. Not that big a difference in price, iirc it's very strong. Also allows you to grind the entire tree.
Merkava to progress the entire tech tree
M51 to completely rape German heavy tanks with severy undertiered HEAT slinger
If you go with M51 be wary that its BR will most likely go up to about 6.7 after the hype around it goes down and sales with it.
Popping off Tigers like they were fish in a barrel! :)
First popular video game ever to feature Hebrew (the tank crew voices) :))))) so surreal...
Day 23:
Phly, play the Panther F in Combo with the Amerikabomber and show the allies how real War Thunder Suffering feels
The M-51 shermans were regular shermans which received L57 75 mm guns purchased from Frenchs and which were coming from the AMX-13/75.
that was the M-50
M-51 had a 105mm
Hi Phly just to let you know if you click on the back round crew while in the hanger you throw snow balls at them
fun the m51 is actually supposed to have a 0,50 cal. on top but it has a 0,30 cal. also i would love to see the m50 sherman which is just a regular 76 one but with heatfs.
yeah 400mm of penetration and instant rangefinder at 6.0. seems legit.
Nobody:
Phly: :0 hey reindeer
The average person playing this tank right now is so sweaty and over-salted, it's great. You blast him, he comes back with backups. You blast those, he comes back in his CAS plane, and then that is backed up. Always feels good yeeting golden whales.
Phly, if someone offered you $1 million to get 20 kills in a tank in one battle, which tank would you use?
The L3 ofc
how about 20 kill for 5K GE (:
Tank? T-44
Any vehicle? Adats, maybe BMP2M, maybe r3 t20
Matilda, got a 25+ kill game in it already.
Low-ish tier, EBR 1954
Hey Phly, would you be open to doing a detailed guide for using rangefinder? How to set it up in the settings, use it most efficiently etc. ? Cuz I've gotten to the tier where I can use it but I'm a tad lost
its a super fun sherman because its not meant to technically fight germans its built to fight T-62s and T-72s
it was mainly meant to fight IS-3, T-34 and T-54
it does not have the pen to kill T-72
@@IronPhysik there’s no evidence of it fighting IS-3s, not saying it didn’t, but there was statements saying the M51 Isherman fought the early model T-72s but it didn’t say whether it did well or not
@@AirwolfGames Meant =/= did
and no... by the time the Syrians / egyptians / jordanians got T-72s the M51 was LONG out of service
I hope they never change this thing it’s amazing
Hey PhlyDaily. I have a question about War Thunder of the M-51 Super Sherman? Will the tank crews in the M-51 Super Sherman needed to be upgrade in the training? After purchasing the M-51 Super Sherman.
The power of shell lobbing sherman is back
I got my first nuke with this M-51 and the Israeli Spitfire for CAS. Gotta love it
I do remember that Israel has a Sherman modification with high velocity 75mm sold to some south American country in the 1980's
I have waited this gigasherman for too long. Thanks Phly =))
Aww yea, we're getting the Ravioli back.
thats funny because Vergis is a MTFCKR unkillable TANK lol
I remember people wanting this back in the day
There is also the Sherman M50: with AMX-13's 75mm cannon
Sherman hull with French Amx-13 gun mounted, with extra 2" of frontal armor.
There were M-51 Super Shermans sold to Chile by Israel and they equipped the shermans with the High velocity 60mm gun, like on the AUBL
puta que somos weones
Nitpick, it where M-50, not M-51
and the gun was not the only upgrade, they also got a better engine
@@IronPhysik thanks for the correction and addition 😂
Well he waited with RSL until we couldn't see the dislikes anymore.
yeah. nothing like using a 1970's gun to fight ww2 tanks. Gajin logic.
Not Israel but Yugoslavia had the best Sherman. With the best engine and a 122mm gun
4:00 the M36B1 could also do that with the 90mm M3
Italy made a Sherman with the Oto-melara super long 60mm high velocity gun
Tbh this was one of the vehicles I was excited to see in the tree, just not as a premium
there is a second variant of that tank using the M4A1 hull, that variant was also alot more common than the one based on the M4A3 that we have.
this tank cured my depression
