[PF] M4A1E2 Calliope

Link to Project Discord: https://discord.gg/pBA6x6jhpC




The "M4A1 E2 Multiple Rocket Launcher" was a heavily modified M4A1 Sherman and upgraded with a rack of 60 rockets, a new engine, improved armour, a new mantlet and fire control system (both from the M4A2).
The Calliope was developed in late 1942 for the Alaskan campaign and produced in small numbers as an infantry support vehicle.
Originally with the rocket rack attached the vehicle was unable to fire the 75mm gun, that was changed by most crews in the field to include a sliding connector where the elevation joint connected to the rocket rack
The Calliope was a heavily troubled tank outside of combat. Slow resupply lines for rockets that were meant for use on aircrafts made it so any use wasn´t without the additional logistical nightmare.
And since it is such a specialized tank the launcher couldn't easily be detached and hooked on to another vehicle outside of very specific use cases
The vehicle was completely taken out of combat once the M4A3-105 entered the battlefield

The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
