T1E6

II

750

Die Versuchsfahrzeuge T1E4 bis T1E6 waren stark vom britischen Vickers E beeinflusst. Der erste Prototyp wurde durch die Firma Cunningham 1931 gebaut. Nach den Erprobungen 1932 wurde eine aufgewertete Variante gebaut. Letztendlich wurde einem anderen Versuchsfahrzeug, dem T2 der Vorzug gegeben.

A more advanced iteration of the T1 Cunningham, the T1E6 shares its thin armor, good speed, and 37mm semiautomatic gun. Unsurprisingly, the T1E6 behaves much like an improved T1, with upgraded speed, maneuverability, and gun handling characteristics.

Cons:

• Poor penetration

• Poor accuracy

• Thin armor

• Poor view range

Performance

The T1E6 at tier II is a later and more advanced version of the T1 Cunningham available at tier I. Players accustomed to the T1 will find that the T1E6 behaves similarly. The T1E6 is a typical light tank, with great speed, acceleration, and maneuverability. Its armor is thin, and will only protect the tank from occasional machinegun fire at certain angles. The T1E6 may be a typical light tank in these regards, but its poor view range will prevent it from being an effective scout like some other lights.

The T1E6 is armed with the same 37mm semiautomatic gun available on the T1 Cunningham and T2 Medium tank. The gun is highly inaccurate and has poor penetration and is thus only effective at close range. At close range however, the gun's five-shot magazine enables the T1E6 to do an average of 150 hitpoints of damage in just 2 seconds. Combined with a short reload of just 5 seconds, the T1E6 is capable of repeatedly dumping clips into enemy tanks quickly and efficiently. Capable of taking out most (or in some cases, all) of a tier II tank's health in one clip, the T1E6 is most dangerous late in the game where it can use its speed and maneuverability to single out damaged enemy tanks and quickly kill them with one clip.

Early Research

All modules are researched with the tank.

Historical Info

After tests with the T1 light tanks, it determined that a frontal engine was not desired. In 1931, the Cunningham corporation presented its design for an improved version of the T1 Cunningham, called the T1E4. Testing began in 1932 and the tank originally had a 110hp engine. The weak engine caused the vehicle to stall when turning and other various problems. It was then equipped with a more powerful 140hp V-8 Cunningham engine. Eventually, it was decided to give the tank a 244hp engine. This new tank was called the T1E6. However, even with the enlarged engine compartment, it was very crowded and difficult to service the engine. The project was eventually dropped.
