The M6A2E1 is a premium tier 8 heavy tank for USA. It is a basically an up-armored M6 with a T29 turret. It is equipped with the 105mm T5E1 gun. In comparison with the T29 it has a smaller mantlet, so it is easier to damage the turret. And although it has same gun as T29 and T32, its reload time is significantly higher. It has good maneuverability for a heavy tank but the speed is limited to 29km/h and while it has more frontal armor than any US heavy tank, it has paper thin sides, so flank this tank at every opportunity.

Historical Info
After cancellation of the project, it was requested that two M6A2E1 s be completed to test the turret and armament for the new heavy tank T29. This request was approved and two turrets, gun mounts, and fighting compartments armed with the 105mm gun T5E1 were completed and proof fired at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The two M6A2E1s were not fitted with the additional hull armor specified in the original project since it was not required for this test program. On 14 December 1944, US Army classified the heavy tanks M6, M6A1, and T1E1 obsolete and subsequently the tanks were scrapped except for a single T1E1 on display today by the Ordinance Museum at Aberdeen.
