-The '''M4 Sherman IC Firefly "Trzyniec"''' is a heavily up-gunned modification of the first variant of the early-generation [[M4 Sherman (Family)|Medium Tank M4 (Sherman) family]]. During World War II, the M4 Sherman IC Firefly operated with both the Polish 1st Armoured Division in northern Europe and the Polish 2nd Armoured Brigade in Italy. It saw limited service in the Polish Army since the majority of the tanks were assigned to the British Army to combat the more advanced German tanks. The lower hulls of the M4 Sherman IC Firefly distinguish it from the [[Sherman Firefly|M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly]], with the M4 Sherman IC Firefly having a shorter hull and smaller gaps between the suspension components, as it is based on  the M4 or "Sherman 1" Chassis instead of the regular M4A4 or "Sherman V". This also made use of a three-piece bolted transmission casing. The M4 Sherman IC Firefly, on the other hand, typically had a cast transmission casing. The rest of the characteristics are the same.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.53 "Firestorm"]] as a [[wt:en/news/3472--en|premium pack]], the M4 Sherman IC Firefly "Trzyniec" was one of the game's earliest British tanks. It performs the same function as later-generation up-gunned M4 Sherman variants. While friendly heavy tanks take the lead in the attack, this tank can provide flanking fire, long-range fire, or rapid and accurate fire to the objective. The tank is as manoeuvrable as any other M4 Sherman variant, making it easy to gain speed and flank the opponent. Those who are experienced with previous M4 Sherman variants will quickly adapt to this tank. While this tank can serve as the frontal spearhead for an assault, it is strongly advised against doing so due to the tank's low armour, which requires players to constantly get the first shot off in each fight; otherwise, the opponent will swiftly eliminate the tank.

 Around 1943 in World War II, the [[M4|M4 Sherman]] was one of the best tanks in use by the Allies. It superseded the German standard [[Pz.III J|Panzer IIIs]] and [[Pz.IV F1|Panzer IVs]] at the time. However, it was during the middle of 1943 that the Sherman design was beginning to wane in superiority with the reveal of newer German tanks in the front lines, namely the [[Tiger H1|Tiger I]] and the [[Panther D|Panther]] tanks.<ref name="ZalogaCh3Panther">Zaloga 2008, ''Chapter 3: The Panzer Nemesis: The Panther Threat''</ref> These tanks could not only take out the Sherman at a longer range than the Sherman can compete in, but also withstand the 75 mm rounds fired from the Sherman with their frontal armour. To improve the Sherman's firepower against these better German tanks, the Americans decided to up-gun their tanks with a better [[M1 (76 mm)|76 mm gun]]. The British, however, chose to up the ante with one of the Allies' most potent anti-tank guns at the time, the 17-pounder.
-The [[Ordnance QF 17-pounder (76 mm)|Ordnance QF 17-pounder]] was a 76.2 mm anti-tank gun developed by the United Kingdom around 1942 but was considered as far back as 21 November 1940.<ref name="Fletcher17">Fletcher 2008, ''The 17-pounder''</ref> The British predicted that the Germans would be increasing their tank armour gradually to make current anti-tank weapons ineffective in North Africa, a lesson learned when their issued [[Ordnance QF 2-pounder (40 mm)|2-pounder]], [[Ordnance QF 6-pounder Mk.III (57 mm)|6-pounder]], and [[Ordnance QF Mk.V (75 mm)|75 mm]] guns were meeting heavier armoured tanks and even tanks with superior firepower like the [[KwK40 (75 mm)|75 mm KwK40]] on the [[Pz.IV F2|Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. F2]].<ref name="Fletcher17" /> The prototype batch was completed in Spring 1942, and the design was finalized in 1943 and accepted into service that same year. It would see significant effect in the Italian Campaign as one of the best Allied anti-tank guns.<ref name="Hunnicutt17pdr">Hunnicutt 1978, pg. 303</ref> One of the reasons why the 17-pounder was so effective was the use of the APDS shot (Armour-Piercing Discarding-Sabot), which could penetrate up to 256 mm of armour at 500 m distance; this is due to the smaller, but much faster projectile used that contains more kinetic energy than a full-sized shot. However, drawbacks with this ammunition were the lack of tracer to adjust shots, the inaccuracy beyond 500 yards, and the less damage it could cause to the enemy tank.<ref name="FletcherAmmo">Fletcher 2008, ''Ammunition''</ref>
