General Characteristics (M6/M6A1)

The M6 Heavy Tank was the US Army’s first attempt at developing a heavy tank after the start of World War II. It was built in limited numbers and ultimately not deployed overseas due to logistical issues and dissatisfaction from the Armored Force.

Armament and Protection

Main Armament: One 3 in (76.2 mm) Gun M7 (75 rounds).
Coaxial Gun: One 37 mm Gun M6 (202 rounds). The simultaneous use of both guns was a unique feature of the design.
Secondary Armament: Multiple machine guns, typically including two .50 cal (12.7 mm) Browning M2HB in the bow and a flexible .30 cal (7.62 mm) for anti-aircraft use.
Armor Thickness: Varies by area from 25 mm to approximately 101 mm (1.0 in to 4.0 in). The turret front and upper front hull were the thickest areas.
Variants: M6 (Cast Hull, Torque Converter) and M6A1 (Welded Hull, Torque Converter).

Powerplant and Mobility

Engine: Wright G-200 9-cylinder air-cooled radial gasoline engine (an aviation engine model).
Power Output: 825 hp at 2,300 rpm.
Maximum Speed: 35 km/h (22 mph).
Operational Range: Approximately 160 km (100 miles).
Suspension: Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS).
Reason for Cancellation: Its high weight complicated transport across the Atlantic and its dual-gun arrangement and internal layout were deemed inefficient compared to the M4 Sherman.
