The M2 is an American interim-period medium tank, designed with trench warfare in mind. No M2 Mediums ever saw combat.

Design, Development, and History[]

Pros and Cons[]

Pros[]

  • Well armored for its tier
  • Good gun for its tier
  • Large crew (6 crew members)
  • A good power to weight ratio.
  • Quite maneuverable and decently fast for a medium of its BR
  • Sloped armor that can be troll to enemies.
  • Most machine guns on a tank in the game

Cons[]

  • Slower than other medium tanks of its tier
  • Cramped interior meaning a single APHE round can kill all the crew
  • Its 37mm gun is good but pretty troll, as sometimes it kills with ease but other times it refuses to do damage to low armor targets.
  • Its turret rotation speed is around the same speed as the early panzer 3s of the same BR
  • Ammo is stored on the bottom of the tank near the suspension, so a hit near the suspension might kill the tank.
  • Very tall for a tank, making it a easy target.
