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.
Judging from its raw stats, The Sheridan had minor differences from The T49. With the same derp gun from T49, a bigger hull, lower weight, and being covered with wet toilet paper armor, this can turn some players off. But, to redeem its downside, the Sheridan received a handy 105mm AP gun with great penetration and accuracy. It also has some thin but useful spaced armor to protect it from HESH or HEAT shells.
The XM551 Sheridan marks the end of its American light line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Choice of two guns; 105mm gun with excellent gun handling and accuracy and 152mm derp gun from T49 with faster reload time and very high alpha damage that can be very deadly against lightly armored vehicles
- Excellent gun elevation on both guns (-10/20 degrees)
- Long base view range (at 420 meters)
- Excellent acceleration and speed
- 360 degrees of spaced hull armour that can protect it from HESH or HEAT shots and an additional grid at the front
- Tied with Rheinmetall Panzerwagen for highest HP points of all LTs (1600)
Cons:
- Largest LT in the game with almost no armor; Easily cripped by HE shots if it doesn't hit frontal grid
- 105mm gun has subpar penetration for its tier; struggles when fighting against heavily-armored opponents
- 152mm gun reload time is still terrible even while faster than T49 (19 seconds with 100% crew)
- 152mm gun handling is horrible, with awful aim time and accuracy
- Fairly large size with little weight; Very vulnerable against ramming

Historical Info
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.

Historical Accuracy Errata
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.
