The designation means it is the second major modification (Diesel engine), mounted a 76mm gun, had a water chamber surrounding the ammunition storage, and had a horizontal volute suspension system (HVSS). When the HVSS was installed experimentally, it was the eighth experimental modification (E8) and the term “Easy Eight” stuck for all models of the Sherman with the HVSS.
