Short historical description:

The Sherman Firefly was a medium tank used by the United Kingdom and some armoured formations of other Allies in the Second World War.
It was based on the US M4 Sherman but was fitted with the more powerful British 76.2 mm (3.00 in) calibre 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.
Conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the 17-pounder in the war.

In 1945, some British Fireflies were fitted with a rail on either side of the turret for two RP-3 "60lb" high-explosive 3-inch rockets. Called "Sherman Tulips", these were used at the Rhine crossing by the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards.
The rockets, accurate when fired from aircraft, were less accurate when fired from a stationary platform, such as a tank, as they had little initial slipstream over the fins.
The RP-3 was only effective when its 60-pound warhead hit the target.
