Briefly about the advantages and disadvantages, who will suit this machine and how relevant it is for a random house.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and the third lot of the Holiday Calendar in World of Tanks. Another tank confirmed merged vehicle list M6A2E1 for 7000 gold (aka "Goose"), which encourages believing in its authenticity. But let's deal with the new proposal, is the tank worth the money and how relevant is it for random.
The first thing to say is that the M6A2E1 is a representative of an endangered type of vehicle in WoT, namely perks. But with the current balancer reduced combat level does not mean at all that you will always be in the top against the "sevens".
TTX
Firepower
M6A2E1 stands out the best armor penetration by the basic projectile among preferential strands, which accordingly increases the efficiency of the farm. But pays for it minimum one-time damage for TT level 8 and at the same time he has long reload, which negatively affects damage per minute.
Turret traverse speed low, so spinning it is not difficult. Him comfortable elevation angles, so it can play off the terrain. Is different fast mixing and not bad accuracy.
Where to pierce M6A2E1?
Let's talk about survivability. Solid safety points complemented by good booking. A strong tower + IHP could guarantee the ability to deal damage with impunity on less fortunate opponents, but not everything is so smooth. Vulnerable zones with nominal armor of 127 mm - 152 mm are located on the sides of the gun mantlet, there are no rational armor slope angles, so sometimes even 6 and 7 levels break through.
Frontal Armor it is practically impenetrable for basic shells even for tier 9 strands, so in the top of the list “Gus” is a good tanker. But experienced players know what he has caterpillars miss damage at a certain angle of entry of the projectile into the front roller. Another weak area between the turret and the hull is 202 mm.
Mobility and intelligence
Here the situation is not particularly encouraging, since you will have to pay for the armor poor mobility. The tank has a large mass, therefore, a low maximum speed and poor maneuverability. In some battles, this makes him a target for self-propelled guns, since his dimensions are also quite large.
But at the expense good power density it accelerates quite quickly. The viewing radius is within the normal range, but the communication range is rather low (farm is reduced due to the transfer of intelligence, but this is not critical).
Results
M6A2E1 is an interesting vehicle with good firepower, as for vehicles with preferential combat levels. At the same time, there is good armor, albeit not ideal, but in many cases it will help out. But note that here there are five crew members in the tank, while there are four tankers on the pumped T110E5 top.
