If you're referring to the first pic you linked above, it's not a Sherman, it's most certainly an M5A1.

I could only assume this included the Stuarts. I have seen a Stuart with armor plates covering the tracks. I would think that the only reason for this is if it was used in an assault. Otherwise, it would have slowed our recon tank to a crawl.
Assume all you want, but on 6 June 1944, the US only had Shermans on the beach...

If you dropped the dio idea (which is good if you care about historical accuracy), then why did you start this thread? Seems like you're trying to thumb your nose at the people who tried to offer you some friendly advice.... that's just my opinion... I could be wrong...
