The 75mm gun in the Sherman was based on the 75mm field gun and used the exact same ammunition. The 75 mm HE shell could be fitted with either the M48 impact fuse or the M54 Time Fuse. It came with three different charge levels, (reduce charge, normal charge and super charge). There was also Smoke WP and AP rounds. This is why the allies were able to use the Sherman as SP Artillery and engage targets with indirect fire.
