The M4A1 designation was used for the mid-range M4 series to use a one-piece cast hull with a distinctive round shape. The M4A1, with the upgraded 76 mm M1 high-velocity cannon and a T23 turret, differed from the early M4A1 hulls as the hull front now featured two large hatches for the driver and passenger. The tank also featured wet storage protection for the ammunition, hence the "W" designation. Initially these tanks were not welcome among the troops, but they were included in the invasion on D-Day. The very early M4A1 (76) W had some minor differences from the later standard type.
