The Sherman Firefly was a British variation of the Sherman tank, fitted with the more powerful British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.

The turret had to be altered to fit such a big gun by moving the radio to a new bustle on the turret rear and by turning the long-recoiling AT gun on its side. A distinctive overhang at the back of the turret was added to give space for the recoiling weapon. The bow machine gun position was sacrificed for the storage of the longer shells.
