- Description
- The M6A2 is a Heavy Tank, the production-standard version of the US M6 heavy tank developed during the Second World War. The M6 was designed to complement the M4 Sherman with heavier armour and a 76 mm main gun, but only a small number were built and it never saw combat. The 56.8-tonne tracked vehicle is crewed by six — driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, loader, and one passenger — and is powered by a Wright R-1820-G-200 gasoline engine producing 960 hp for 16.9 hp/t and a top speed of 35 km/h.
The turret mounts a stabilized 76mm M7 and a 37mm M6 in a dual-purpose arrangement, with a 12.7mm M2 in the commander's cupola and another in the driver's position; the bow gunner operates a .30 cal M1919. Sights are 3x and 1.8x with no rangefinder. Neutral steering aids manoeuvre despite the vehicle's weight.
