I would like to suggest a small change for the Sherman IB (spob07/ Unit 026) : bring forward the availability start date to September 1944.

Concord’s British Sherman Tanks by Dennis Oliver has this to say about their use and availability:

“These tanks were used in Italy with great success originally attached to each squadron HQ and used in the close-support role. Deliveries began in September 1944 and by war’s end 15th Army Group had 169 on strength.”
