Why not put a 105 mm in the turret and have a side 37 mm turret, drive in the middle like the M2 medium and a 75mm sponson like a Lee (American tanks had guns everywhere!)? Like with design but 1930's style like an American Char B1. The Sherman could be a 'light' version' much like how the KV-1 was a 'light' version of a soviet multi-turreted monster from the 1930's XD.

Unless you mean the 105mm howitzer they fitted to some M4 Shermans, I think you'd need to up-scale the whole thing.

Well, since it fit in the M4 turret, you should be able to replace the 75mm with the 105mm if you want

So we have a modified M3 Lee chassis with 2 M22 locust turrets along with an early M4 turret all of which have the M3's Commander Cupola with a machine gun. Plus each of the turrets have a co-axial MG. This is actually pretty believable for a American landship. But knowing the tank makers at those times there would be at least 10 more MGs crammed in there somewhere. Great work I love it!

Apart from the M22 turrets actually being m3 turrets (hence the MG cupolas), you're pretty much spot on
