The M4A1 Revalorisé is a French tier 8 premium medium tank.
In the 1950s, the M4 Sherman of various modifications was supplied to France as part of MDAP. French design bureaus started modernizing the vehicle with the goal of improving its firepower. This initiative was followed by a modernization program for the Israel Defense Forces (Sherman M51). The tank never saw service in France. The number of prototypes built is unknown.
Also known as "ISherman (Israeli Sherman, as it was the basis of Israeli M-50/M-51 Sherman)", Super Sherman, or M4A1 "Ravioli" (or other names that resembles word "Revalorise"). At first glance, it's basically just an M4 Sherman with a bigger gun, painted in French colours, and bumped up three tiers. But it's a lot more complicated than that. When its strengths and weaknesses are well-understood, the M4A1 Revalorisé can become a rather effective tank hunter in Tier VIII, and even Tier IX games.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High alpha damage, good gun handling and accuracy
- Fires high-velocity APCR as default ammunition
- Very good gun depression
- Cheap for a Tier 8 premium tank, same price as the T26E4 SuperPershing
- Good credit maker
Cons:
- Effectively no armor (for its tier) and mediocre camouflage values
- Long reload time and low DPM
- Bad pen for its tier: 200mm is just not reliable on a lot of tanks, this combined with it's long reload makes this tank frustrating to play at times
- Fragile engine module can be easily knocked out, ammo rack is prone to damage, turret is also easily jammed
- Quite slow and sluggish for a medium
- Subpar premium HEAT ammunition
Performance
One could compare this vehicle to the British Tier 6 Sherman Firefly, as the Revalorisè is also an M4 variant equipped with a larger gun. The similarities end here however, as this tank's gun is the exact opposite of the British 17 Pdr. - massive, with a very high damage per shot, and with a glacial reload speed. It also benefits from good gun handling and great gun depression (similar to American tanks).
The gun's behaviour, lack of armor and mediocre mobility make this tank best played as support, firing from the second line, or a sniper thanks to its very high shell velocity and decent accuracy. Do note however that the default ammo is APCR, which has worse normalization than AP and so struggles more against sloped armor. The armor penetration of 200mm is above average among medium tanks but poor among tier 8 tanks that fight long range.
Always try to minimize exposure by making use of cover (be it scenery or even allied tanks) and abuse your gun depression, and never try to brawl as the Revalorisè has no armor and takes well over ten seconds to reload between shots. Also, try to let the gun fully aim before firing, again due to the very long reload time.

Historical Accuracy Errata
HEAT is actually the standard ammunition of the 105 mm D. 1504 gun. Other historical ammunition types were smoke, HE and APFSDS. The APCR round is fake.
- The HEAT round is considerably weaker than in reality, with only 250 mm of penetration compared to the historical 360.
- "Revalorisé" was affixed to any Sherman tank that was upgraded by the French. A more accurate name would be "M4A1 canon de 105mm L51", or M-51 prototype.
- The M4A1 Revalorisé was only intended for export, evolving into the M-51 Sherman in Israeli service. The M-51 can only be found on the console version of World of Tanks.
- The Continental R975 engine is considerably more powerful than it is in real life, with 550 horsepower compared to the historical 350-400.
- Smoke dischargers are visible on both sides of the turret but there is no option to use them.
- Due to the lack of multi-turret controls in Word of Tanks, the turret-mounted 12.7 mm Browning machine gun is unusable and only worsens the M4A1's tall silhouette.
- Turret is the same as the M4 Sherman, the American equivalent of the M4A1. Yet both T23 turrets have inconsistent view range and turret traverse.
- The Continental R975 is the same engine on the M4 Sherman, yet the horsepower and chance of fire on impact are inconsistent.
