History
The M40/M43 is an American tier 8 self-propelled gun.
Development started in the spring of 1944 due to a shortage of M1918 guns for the M12. The vehicle was based on the M4 Sherman and featured a HVSS-type suspension. The design allowed the 155-mm M1 gun and 203-mm M1 howitzer to be interchangeable (an SPG with the latter was designated the M43). The vehicle first saw service during Operation Zebra. A total of 418 M40 and 48 M43 vehicles were manufactured (another 24 M40s were reequipped).
The M40/M43 SPG was built on a widened and lengthened M4A3 medium tank chassis. The vehicle is designated as the M40 Gun Motor Carriage in a version that mounts the 155mm M1A1 Long Tom gun. The version that mounts the 8-inch (203mm) Howitzer is designated the M43 Howitzer Motor Carriage.
The M40/M43 leads to the M53/M55.
