That is correct. For those looking close into my picture, they would have seen "M6" written on the side of the tank itselftango22a said:
Although the M6 was standardized, the US Armored Force considered the heavy tank M6 unsatisfactory due to its size, weight, the awkward crew positions and the thought that a heavy tank needed better armament than the 3" M7 gun. The US Armored Force also was unhappy about the fact that the only way to cover the sides and rear of the vehicle with a machine gun involved the tank commander unbuttoning and it was recommended to replace the 37mm gun with a coaxial machine gun, but the Army lost interest in the tank before this could happen. None of the M6 series saw action in World War II as it was judged that the M4 Sherman had developed adaquately to meet the Army's needs and at a much lower cost.
