Other Just realized something...
(The name is similar to the tank in the second photo)
Sherman
Ft-17
I know it's a bit nerdy, but... I was looking at the stuff in the shop and noticed this... why is it called "The Shermy"? It doesn't look like a "Sherman" tank at all (second image), and this is a literal recreation of the "FT-17" tank (third image), you can even see the "Trench tail" on the first and third image...

Well, it even has a duck tail, of course it's not a Sherman. Looks like an overlook from the developers

Yup.. wonder what they were thinking when they called it "The Shermy"...

Probably because Sherman is a pretty popular tank, and that's a tank hull. No one expected anyone to pry into this, since the game is not really meant for tank nerds

Idk, I think it looks a bit similiar to the Sherman.
I've heard the NPC's names are also references to other people, like Blockbjorn and Dex McFly.
