Good to see this tank finally get some attention and love. I have 1000+ battles in the M6, mostly before the HP buff, avg dmg over 1700. Still my go to tank, now I play with turbo, works great with it. Gun is extremely good, same gun as on the T20, only DPM is like 30% better. And best thing is, everyone underestimates this tank, you are never the primary targer for the enemies. Years ago when it was possible I even used to play this tank in platoon with higher tier tanks, 240mm APCR pen can work against T8-9-10, had some really fun games there. Lovely vehicle, a gem indeed.

It is a gem. I once went back for base defense on Malinovka north to defend vs an IS. The thing was near full HP until the first shot ammoracked it. Then ended up shooting their Tiger II on the south base although that cost all my gold ammo. The gun is really good.

Thank you for finally doing the M6, a tank that has been my favorite for many years. I honestly didn't think you'd like this tank

Back in the days when i was f2p begginer, i was an ARL guy with only one tier 5 prem. tank (t25) to grind credits. When i played M6 for the very first time my first thought was: " this tank is op", it behaved so well in the battlefield, although in game stats never suggested it could be the case. .. As an ancient philosopher would say: " reality is a bit different".My favourite quote when i talk to pupils.

I never played this tank. I went the jumbo sherman route to t29. I just like the armor of jumbo, but m6 does have a nice gun.

I got my first Pool's medal in an M6 - long ago. Loved this tank.

I used to play my M6 all the time years ago and wreck anything same tier or even higher. Many players don't know how to play the T1 heavy or M6 when they first get in the game and don't realize how good it can be in the right hands.

Hi, Mr. Baboon ! What are you doing with that stick ? OH, NO ! Whap! Bam! Smack ! Close your eyes kids ! The Baboon is on another killing spree ! Those Poor Seals !!!

A shame I didn't play it then, I went directly to t29 with through Sherman jumbo, once upon a time when it was still in the tech tree

Speaking of hidden gems, I think the At-8 is very underrated! Godly dpm and armour!

One quite important aspect of this tank's gameplay I've not seen mentioned is the use of the tanks tracks to bait shots around corners--most (depending on angle) of the drive sprocket extends beyond the hull, thus you only take track damage if performed correctly. Couple this with track health boosts (hardening and field mod), you often don't get tracked, this can award you 1 or more free shots.

Yess! Thanks for the video! Definitely an underrated tank. Working on making it my first 3-marked tank.

I also loved M6 when I was playing it... Really good and underrated tank! Thanks for the video :*

"At this point, kids cover your eyes." LOL

peeking sideways at the kv2 13:01 you brave brave baboon LOL

My dad has been playing wot since 2012 and has 40k battles and i have 15k i started playing since i was 7 in 2013 . My father absolutely loves the M6 and has more than 4k battles on it !!! Aside from that very nice video skill , my dad is glad that M6 finally had some love from you Stay safe there comrade o7

I don't remember playing this tank - maybe I'll give it a whirl sometime, but doubt I'll ever approach these games... Great stuff Skill!

"This tank is beautiful, amazing and incredible with 87% win rate!" *Sells Tank*

this and T1 Heavy have the shortest time for me to mark. T1 Heavy took 101 battles and M6 took 99 battles (I'm not a super unicum, so this number might still be considered high, though). The M6 especially, is just lovely. The one thing that I despise of this tank is the reverse speed. P.S.: This tank used to be an absolute meta in the skirmishes.

This tank and T29 are the best in line for me, great thing you feature it on the channel.

Thank you for sharing this tank. I’m not a fan of heavy tanks, but I primarily play tier 5 and 6 so I’ll have to give it a try.

Your map awareness is amazing.

I aboslutly love this tank line and both the T1 and M6 are so much fun if you know how to use your guns. managed to three mark both prior to unlocking the next tank because of how nice the guns are on both tanks. Thank you for showing off this tank! :)

M6 was my first tier 6 heavy tank and last time I played with it, it was back in 2014 xdd And all I remember about it that the gun was godlije especially for tier 6

I too think this one of the best T6 HT. My best game on this tank was 4k dmg and 8 kills.

I recently three marked this and now have my highest xp match at 3200. 4.8k 10 kill match. The gun and damage on this is awesome

T1 Heavy which I recently played to get the xp for the new US heavy branch is pretty much the same as M6, but at tier 5. A lot of 2k+ dmg games, excellent gun handling ... hip hip hooray 🤭🍌🍌🍌

This tanks was always nice wasn't it? It was one of the first lines I went up (T110E5 was my first tier 10). I had some great games as a newbie in this tank... had a game where I owned the KV-1S's (then still tier 6)... shoot one, ram one.. This tank can ram! But I used the T1 Heavy to train new crews for my US heavies...

Fun fact: i have 3 marks of exellence on this tank but i never had an ace tanker...

Skiiiiiiiiill thank you soo much for this M6 video. Finally you are playing with my most played tank (with more than 7k battles) and you called it hidden gem. Keep doing good job. P.S. Thanks for using Serbian flags on your tanks.

Skieel can you start hovering your mouse over the ammunition on every tank review?

I'm not a great player, decidedly average, and on the Asia server to boot. I don't remember enjoying this or the T1, only won 47% and sold it as soon as I got to the T29, which I really like.

M6 was the first tank i got 2 marks while grinding(from stock) and im average player.Nice mobility and gun with t8 medium gunhandling

M6 is a heavy tank with poor armour. I did not enjoy it much when I grinned it as my first tank line. It did not seem « heavy ». It also takes lots of gold rounds, which newer players cannot afford.

Skill, this is the right time to play the mighty BLACK PRINCE! We've been waiting for ages to see this!

This tank has a good gun, decent DPS, decent mobility for a heavy, but it's armor for a heavy even at it's tier SUCKS, that's what tends to make it bad. IT's basically a heavy with medium armor. In the hands of someone skilled like Skill, it can be amazing, but in the average player's hands, not so much.

Thank you

Skill this is absolutly amazing performance gj I hated that tank when I played it 2 years ago I had 45%wr and 200 damage avrage lol But I was a big pile of 💩 Amazing video

Skill is the t71 da any good? Wanting to see a series on it.

Win ratios for a few games don't seem to mean much. Some days I can have 80% wins with low damage and others I can have 20% wins with high damage. I'm sure it evens out in the long run.

I never play M6 but enjoying Jumbo with derp gun a lot.

Skill- 13/15 tanks destroyed in one game - has that already been made into a video?

Great tank, easy to mark too

hidden gem... i played that tank when everyone played vs teams with 13x tier VIII 1x tier VII and 1x M6. atrocious in my book.

Came across this tank in my garage and noticed it had a 68% win rate. Been playing it regularly. Fun tank. Don't have to try hard to do well.

How do/did you managed to get a 200+ dmg with it? Even with my upgraded gun it still does 150 lower

M6 is a good gunner once you have the top gun. Before it is painfull as the 76mm gun only has 128/177 mm penetration and only 115 damage, you need lots and lots of gold ammo. Armor may work against some tier4 you see rarely, but most tier5 and all above .. what armor? Armor is a joke for a heavy tank. On the positive th grind on M6 is short as not much modules need to be researched. now - august 2022 - finally the armor buff is in supertest for upcomming patch 1.18. lets hope this makes the M6 more like a heavy tank

I have played M6 in 93 battles. WR : 43% , Average XP 390 . Why ? Well a tank is not good or bad in itself, everything depends on the adversary. 1) here I had 29 battles against 6,7,8 and 26 battles against 6,7 . You don't make pressure against heavies T8 or T7 with M6 and you don't try to snipe . Your tank is basically useless and you 2) depend on the T8 and T7 on your team. If they melt in the first minute, then you can only die . And this is what happened in most of the 55 games out of 93. This is not just bad luck, this is a braindead match making algorithm. Of course if I had 55 battles against T5 and T6 only, the WR and the average XP would have been very different yet it would still have been the same tank - M6. Considering these circumstances , my experience with M6 was a big nightmare.

Amazing performance Skill! I dont doubt they were paid actors :-)

M6 is good, but I also liked the T1 heavy.

I got tracked on a rise at the end of a narrow path, fortunately at exactly the right angle, because I blocked over 10,000 dmg. Not a typo. Still lost but what a game.

Love the tank, hate the fact the gun sounds like a kiddies airgun, but great videos as usual 😆

Skill while being bottom tier "we are top tier so we need to get involved"

oh come on... it's not the tank a hidden gem...it's the content maker a hidden(or not really hidden) gem

The only tank I could 3 mark, DPM is godly

GG!

Unfortunatly not a good tank to platoon with friends, unless you like to be bottom tier 9 time out of 10 ( it's the case at least on NA )

I will escape i will escape i will eeeaaasaaaaaaa xD ahhahahahahah i love the way you streaming xD

Skill do a video of Vk30.01p its a more hidden gem

Did they buff this tank at some point? I played way back like 6 or 7 years ago and it seemed like the gun shot spit-wads for all the good it did. I got so tired of hearing about bouncing off everything I parked it and never went back.

So many people disrespect the M6 while I over here stating it is one of the best tier 6 heavies, fairly versatile tank.

Skill, 1st day asking for Pz III/IV. Very similar to a certain OP tank, without the ramming.

What gun you had mounted?

I just couldn't make this tank work for me in my play style. I think I got a sub 30% rate while my vk 30.01p has a higher win ratio (above 50%)

Not my fav tank. Maybe iam not suited to play it with their strengths. Did you play the games on ru server? Is there a reason for anonymizer or just when you marking above 95%?

this is one of my goto tanks when everything else just f***s up :D

His accent makes me second guess if in should trust this guy

skill in index is wz 131 as epic, but no video linked. why is that?

nice games skill

243 pen at tier 6, holy bananas.

Tell us who is the hidden gems in t.7 and t.8

What server are u playing? I always get clanless bot teams against good players within clans. They dont even have cammo on tier 6 and 7. Pfff

Ah brings me back to 2011

Its papper tank nowdays

M56 scorpion plss

Skill4U, your sub from India here 😄 Please review my favourite tanks as well. Tier 6 MT T-34-85 and tier 4 MT T-28 tank 😀

American heavy tank line is one of the easiest to play. - Zeven

it was a POS for me u must be loved

how did u relod so fast at the first shot to the IS? wtf

I am still waiting bugi peace V

Skillman, I do not share your enthusiasm for this American heavy. It is a massive target that serves enemy arty well and being matched against tier 8's is intolerable. The RNG is just not with this lumbering blob - the B.U.G.I. is better, the T-150 is better, The Skoda T 25 is more enjoyable (at tier), the Chi-To forcryingoutloud is better, the Type 58 is better, The P.43 bis is better!!! Come on Skillman, don't sell out to the dark side - the M6 is a big POS and you should warn everyone to stay away from it!

Skill, this is the first time i do not agea with you. This tank i hate

I think I did not play too many games with the M6 but might have to look into it. I'm quite curious if the M6 gun can beat the ARL 44 guns though! They might miss some shots but boy having 212mm standard pen on tier 6 sure feels damn good! Amazing games Skill!

I did not like this tank, large, slow, mediocre armor, meh dpm, and generally for me a very meh tank that I struggled through

Day 26 : KV-2 long pp

Did they nerf this tank? Its gun is a complete piece of shit. It neg penetration in all equivalent level tank armors

Skieeeel day 26 without StuG III G video

gold spam on this channel is becoming hugely visible. I do not agree that "it is as it is" and just spam 2 key...

LOL you copied my record win ratio in a row... Feel free to copy my loosing record of 27 battles in a row... 🤪 P.S. The M6 is kinda good even knowing that it's big and paper HT... But still i guess i would prefer to play with the T1 Heavy... 🤓

FIRST!

M6 is better in its tier than T29. Nowadays T29 is slow against new t8 prem tanks. Till WG don't ruin tier 6 too with prem tanks, M6 can be a good choice and has fun factor.

tier for tier t1 heavy is better

this tank is awful, anyone who thinks its good is delusional

It's total trash don't worth it at all. You published a lot trash tanks lately, with "so call beast" ...

Its a 100% shit tank.
