His question is on the vague side. If he's working with the 105 Tamiya 105 Sherman MFU there is no provision for a recoil unit. Most use the Pershing or Super Sheman units. Yes, you can add recoil to the Sherman that lacks it. However, it's not an easy task to make it function reliably. My M4A1 Firefly build here has a step by step.

He can use a 5(or more) channel receiver and plug a servo to the 5th channel and to program it to work as a recoil.

Hello, :D
Thank you for all your advice,i retain the servo system on an additional duty,may it be necessary to adjust the race of the servo in the radio programming ? Can be a nonsense,but possible ditto for elevation if servo 360 ° ? :{
