M6 Heavy Tank
"super American-bias tank"
The Heavy Tank M6 was an American heavy tank designed during World War II. The tank was produced in small numbers and never saw combat.
Initially, a multi-turreted design was proposed, with two main turrets each armed with a low-velocity T6 75 mm (2.95 inch) gun, a secondary turret with a 37 mm gun and a coaxial .30 caliber (7.62 mm) machine gun, and another secondary turret with a 20 mm gun and a coaxial .30 caliber machine gun. Four .30 caliber machine guns were to be installed in ball mounts, two in the glacis (front) plate and two in the rear corners of the hull. The design was somewhat similar in concept to multi-turreted breakthrough tanks developed in Europe in the 1920s and throughout the 1930s, such as the 1925 British Vickers A1E1 Independent or the Soviet T-35 of the early 1930s, albeit on a much more powerful scale: the older tank designs were typically armed with a single light or medium-caliber main gun and multiple machine guns, and had armor only sufficient to protect from small arms fire. Later in the decade, however, European tank developers switched to single-turret designs.
By October, the US developers reached the same conclusion as their European counterparts. The armament was changed to a single vertically stabilized 3-inch (76.2 mm) gun and a coaxial 37 mm gun in a single three-man turret with both manual and electric traverse. The turret had a commander's cupola identical to that of the M3 Medium Tank.[clarification needed] Additional armament consisted of two .50 caliber machine guns in a bow mount (operated by the assistant driver), two .30 caliber machine guns in the front plate (fired electrically by the driver), one .30 caliber in the commander's cupola and one .50 caliber in a rotor mount for anti-aircraft use in the right rear of the turret roof (operated by the loader). The crew consisted of commander (seated in the turret left), gunner to the right of the gun, gun loader (turret), driver and assistant driver in the front left and right of the hull respectively, and another crewman in the hull to pass ammunition to the turret.

Notes:
- Super quick build, well I can't say its my build technically, its just a modification.
- Yeah I know, the weapons are flipped, nah f**k it.
- Like I said earlier, I did lesser research on this thing, so there might be lots of inaccuracies.
- After some consideration, I'm here to say that I'm going 100% hiatus from now on, good luck everyone else

@kkz565 I understand, but seeing that Lockkenn's M6A2E1 is good enough, I'd say its no use to rebuild it
.
Sorry about that, thanks for requesting it by the way
@tetozz the one in the auto credit isn't the best rep of the M6A2E1 (no offence to Locken), so I tossed in the idea hoping you could do it since you've been pretty good with accurate turrets
@kkz565 I don't know if you saw it yet, but someone already made it and it's on the auto credit
You should do the M6A2E1 variant
@tetozz
Yea
@TheRLAF yeah i know, i don't want to hide it anymore
@tetozz
Still
Front page
@TheRLAF at this rate I feel like its normal for me.. tbh
I kinda have been brainwashed by "fame" and y know.. popular stuff thing
@tetozz
What do you mean fall off😭🥀
This is a front page post my guy(?)
@TheRLAF sure thing, and good news ; i have updated the list :D
.
now that's why I supposedly "fall off" in the first place
@tetozz
Fr🥀
You got some catching up to do
Also can you add me to the taglist :3
@TheRLAF really ?
oh damn, I gotta rechecked every single user on that list I guess 💔
@tetozz
The fact that half the names on this taglist are out of date😭
@IMCI ye thank you, actually i do experimented for a color-filtered thumbnail, like the one thumbnail for the A-6E, if you did not notice it
@blin1blyat thanks vro
@tetozz raw but good thumbnails
this looks cool
@IMCI yes, it is raw image
I just used the in game command prompt to give low FOV shot
it retains the look of the build without the thumbnail having a supposedly "fisheye lens" effect on it, which look bad IMO
@dekanii i mean the thumbnail
@IMCI none, its a raw image
if you mean by the thumbnail.. if not, would you mind say which do you mean by "edit" ?
@dekanii btw what application did you use to edit this??
@dekanii oh alr, take ur time
@RSH10Thunderbeam the front armor is buns anyway, but also i love the fact that this has two .50 cal as bow MG
@TypicalBehavior911 I do have WIPs of upcoming tanks with interior, but none of them are in progress right now
@LunarEclipseSP I am back for now.. but I will disappear unconditionally
