General information

The Magach 6A, also called Magach 6 Alef in some situations, was the earliest version of the Magach 6 family, which was just the name given by Israel to the American M60, M60A1 and M60A3 tanks. The Magach 6A was a modernized M60A1 with some modifications, including the low profile Urdan cupola and in some cases Blazer ERA. The tanks saw extensive use in combat in the Yom Kippur War, 1982 Lebanon War and against insurgent groups. All Magach 6As were eventually upgraded to the Magach 6B (6 Bet) standard.

It was introduced in Update "Wind of Change". The Magach 6A is very similar to the American M60A1, however unlike the American tank, it lacks any kind of gun stabilizer, so it needs to be played in a more passive role. Since pushing is not as easy as it is with a stabilizer, ambushing and flanking become better options, where the low profile of the M60 and its relative good mobility come in handy. The tank has access to APDS and HEAT-FS as its main anti tank rounds, and while the HEAT-FS have a higher penetration value, they are less effective at dealing with ERA and also have a less post penetration damage, however they are more effective at destroying critical components if you have good precision thanks to their more concentrated post-penetration damage.
