Hi, its TheEpicProScoper.
(Regarding my last two posts, that was just my opinion regarding those two topics.)
Today we will move on to the M6A2E1, the younger brother of the M6A2E1 EXP.
I LOVE this tank and i have never regretted getting it from the store for 5100-5200 gold (unsure of the price). Its armour is amazing, the gun has high penetration and the turret has only one major weak spot that can be dealt with. So lets start with the statistics.

Those are the statistics of the M6A2E1, now lets put it into a battle situation. Imagine you are facing two IS tanks. They are aiming for your turret cheeks because thats your frontal weak spot, what to do?
Start traversing your turret, the traverse speed makes it easy to traverse it fast enough to block shots. You might take one from an IS, but if they are both on a seperate reload, its much more easier. Block their shots and destroy them. Easy 2,600 damage.
Things become more difficult if an experienced player aims for the other side of the cheeks you arent angling. What to do then is simple. You decrease the amount of degrees you traverse your turret by or start hull dancing. Thatll make it even harder.
When facing medium or light tanks, they can easily circle you, so you do the obvious thing of turn back right? No, if its one medium or light and they are HE pennable, rush to where you can HE pen them and shoot them, or use AP and go head on, carrying on shaking your turret blocking shots. If there are multiple of these tanks, take an offensive position anf make sure any allies going with you don't die in order for the mediums or lights to circle you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. (I think this is my longest post yet)
