During WWII, the British recognized that the greatest weakness of the US-built M4 Sherman was its 75mm main gun, and sought to solve that problem by installing the powerful high-velocity 17-pounder gun in a slightly modified turret. This gun gave the Sherman Firefly the firepower it needed to take on the powerful German armor it would encounter in the field.
