Press (1) to activate main turret armament. Press (2) to activate commander's position. Press (3) to activate loader's and commander's position. Press (4-7) to fire main gun. To operate turret, cupola, and loader's gun, use Roll for traverse and Pitch for elevation. To maneuver, use VTOL for general direction and yaw to steer. An upgrade to the basic M6 design. Featuring the 120mm Coilgun M5A5, it is even deadlier, with improved timings and projectiles to maximize range. In addition, the gunner was relocated to the left front of the turret, and a human loader was provided after issues with the 120mm autoloader. The original M6 turret shape was employed, since the M6A2's turret had a shot-trap in the turret ring, sometimes jamming the turret, other times lifting it off the tank with the crew inside. Due to high casualty rates among tank commanders using the mounted gun, an improved and wider cupola was provided. A new transmission makes it far easier to drive. The armor scheme is the same as the Ardent M6A1.

@GoldenEagle This machine is still used in reservist forces.
@Pilotmario Alright. I am committing the paratroopers and heavy air support to the assault.
Second Battle of Maywar Island. @Thej611
@Pilotmario are there any offensives being planned at this time? I have three companies of paratroopers ready to drop in support. Also have a good number of attack aircraft and bombers to support any such offensives.
Good. We shall deliver them. @Gmanndo1000
@Pilotmario 3000
How many? @Gmanndo1000
@Pilotmario I'll buy em'!
@PINK Built it!
The turret mount an controls are the same.....along with the crew compartment. @Pilotmario
I suppose. Would M6A1 turret on MBT-6D work? @PINK
We want a few thousand for training and parts. @Pilotmario
Dollar apiece. Plus shipping and handling.
We really want to get rid of them, but we cannot give them away for free by law. So one dollar for a perfectly good tank is awesome. @Gmanndo1000
Still happening. @PINK
What happened to a M6A1 turret being mounted on a MBT-6D TUCK? @Pilotmario
@Pilotmario how many for a good 300 M6A2 to back up my M-90 division?
@Gmanndo1000 It is an awesome tank.
However, because we're replacing all M6A2 with this thing and upgrading M6A1 to this standard, I think you will have to wait if you want some.
However, that means that there is plenty of M6A2 tanks we're willing to give.
Oooooooo! Me like! Nice tank!
