Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

XM551 Sheridan

AnnoA116_XM551.png

6100000

The XM551 Sheridan is an American tier 10 light tank.

Work on the vehicle started under the AR/AAV project (Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle) in January 1959. In June 1962, the Cadillac Motor Car Division delivered the first vehicle prototype to the client. The first generation of vehicles included three prototypes. Work was continued, and the vehicle eventually saw service under the M551 Sheridan designation in 1966.

A tier higher, the Sheridan appears to be an even bigger T49 and to an extent it largely is. However, it receives a much better 105mm than the T49's 90mm, giving it more combat value without the derp.

The XM551 Sheridan marks the end of its American light line.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Good all-around stock 105mm gun
  • Can equip the same 152mm gun used on the T49, with improved stats
  • Great gun depression
  • Joint highest viewrange and hitpoint pool in tier/class
  • Hull is completely covered with spaced armor, can protect against HESH and HEAT ammo


Cons:


  • Largest Tier 10 light tank, very low camouflage for its class
  • Essentially unarmored, only the hull spaced armor provides some protection
  • While improved, the 152mm gun is still plagued by poor reload speed, aim time, accuracy and gun handling
  • The stock 105mm gun has subpar accuracy
  • Small mass despite its size, very vulnerable to ramming


Performance

As the final advancement of the tier X American Light Tank line, it plays mostly like its predecessor, the T49. The main difference is the 105mm stock cannon - it is a large improvement over the 90mm.

It still has largely the same playstyle, but with the addition of spaced armor it is somewhat less vulnerable to HE shells.

Historical Info

In the immediate post-World War II era, the US Army introduced the M41 Walker Bulldog into service to fill the role of a light tank. The lifespan of the M41 was fairly short; at 25 tons it was considered too heavy to be a true light tank, and had a rather short cruising range. Plans were started to build an even lighter replacement mounting the same gun, resulting in the T71 and T92 test designs. Two prototypes of the 19 ton T92 were later ordered. However, as the prototypes were entering testing, information about the new Soviet PT-76 tank became available. The PT-76 was an amphibious light tank, and soon there were demands that any U.S. light tank should be able to swim as well. The T92 was already in the prototype stage and could not be easily refitted for this role, so the design of an entirely new system started as the XM551.

The vehicle designed to mount the gun had a steel turret and aluminum hull. Although the hull could defeat heavy machinegun fire of up to 12.7mm AP,[8] it was easily defeated by rocket propelled grenades, which could destroy the vehicle if the spalling contacted the caseless main gun rounds. Like the M113 armored personnel carrier, it was also vulnerable to mines.
Swimming capability was provided by a flotation screen, similar to that used by the World War II, amphibious DD Tanks. The front armor was overlain by a wooden "surfboard", actually three folded layers, hinged together. This could be opened up into a sloping vertical surface in front of the driver providing a bow of a boat hull, about level with the top of the turret. Fabric formed the rest of the water barrier, folding up from compartments lining the upper corner where the side met the top of the hull, and held up at the back with poles. The front of the "hull" was provided with a plastic window, but in practice it was found that water splashing onto it made it almost useless, and the driver instead usually had to take steering directions from the vehicle commander. The M2 Bradley adopted a similar solution, but dropped it with upgraded armor.

In the Vietnam War, firing the gun often adversely affected the delicate electronics, which were at the early stages of the transition to solid state devices, so the missile and its guidance system was omitted from vehicles deployed to Vietnam. The expensive missile ended up almost never being fired in anger, despite a production run of 88,000 units.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

The Sheridan is amphibious in real life, but is not in-game.
  • In real life, the 152 mm gun on the Sheridan was capable of launching guided anti-tank missiles. This feature does not appear in World of Tanks.
