Sherman Crocodile flamethrower tank
Inspired by the powerful British Churchill Crocodile and their own experiences in the Pacific with other versions of flamethrower tanks, the US army ordered some 100 Sherman Crocodile variants from the British.
Based on the M4A4 (Sherman V) welded hull the Crocodile retained full operation of its turret and 75mm gun and bow-mounted .30 Cal (7.62mm) machine gun. The flame gun was placed above the bow machinegunner's hatch. All of the flamethrowing equipment was positioned externally, including the iconic wheeled trailer, and could be released from inside the crew compartment in case of an emergency.
Sherman Crocodiles took part in Operation: Grenade, the assault on the ancient 13th-century citadel in Julich, Germany, helping demolish the garrison of the old citadel.
In games of Bolt Action the Sherman Crocodile is a medium tank with a turret mounted medium anti tank gun and a hull mounted flamethrower, that can be included in Armoured Platoons.
