Description
From the United States, derived from the number T1 test vehicle, it proved that multi-turret is not practical, but bulky, in August 1940, the new T1 test vehicle was quickly developed in four, in May 1942, T1E2 and T1E3 standardized, that is, M6 heavy tank and M6A1 heavy tank, T1E1 was not adopted by the military, but it was called M6A2 by some personnel, M6A2 is the prototype of M6A2E1. In 1944, the M6 was officially produced, the military was not satisfied with the M7 76.2mm tank gun with insufficient firepower, the 60-ton hull with the 76.2mm gun is simply a joke, the evaluators felt that the M6 can be equipped with the same 90mm T7 gun as Pershing is more suitable, but the M6 must be redesigned, the workload is large, so the idea of a 90mm M6 heavy tank was rejected. After the Normandy landings in 1944, the military needed tanks with thicker armor and stronger firepower, but the number was limited, some personnel proposed to remove the coaxial machine gun on the basis of the T1E1 tank, the cockpit door was welded with a steel plate of about 50mm in the front, and the 69-inch diameter turret seat was replaced with 80 inches to place the turret of the T29 under development, and the 60 times diameter 105mm T5E1 tank gun, in order to accept this longer gun, the counterweight was added behind the turret, and the counterweight structure was pure steel, so, The armor behind the turret reached 208mm, which was harder than the front. Of the 20 T1E1 prototypes, 5 were spare parts for improvement in August 1944, and 15 heavy tanks designated M6A2E1 were delivered in November.
