  1. Play Offensive
    You might think the M6A1 is a heavy tank and has good armor, but do not be decieved. The hull armor is very weak, and in real life (not confirmed) the drivers port was made of glass. You need to play offensive and make use of volumetric.
  2. Driving
    While in combat, drive backwards. The engine block is so big, it mostly eats rounds except for solid shot.

  3. Angling
    You would probably think: “oh yeah, but if i angle my tank, it’s much stronger, right?” Well, no. there are angled parts of the tank in the hull that are only 80 MM thick and the sides are 40 MM thick.
    So DO NOT ANGLE YOUR M6A1
    This is a quite short tutorial but use it. Reply if it worked. Thank you
