Front armor of the Sherman |
The extremely high silhouette of the Sherman is an artifact that the only reasonably powerful engines available when the tank was designed in the 1930s were radial (round) air cooled airplane engines. Being round, and large in diameter, they necessitated a tall engine bay, which led to a tall tank.
