Description

The G6 is a rank British tank destroyer with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Danger Zone".


General info

 Survivability and armour 

With negligible armour the G6 will not survive the front lines for long and is best suited for flanking and supporting fire. With a limit of 45° horizontal rotation in either direction, firing at a target will require you to almost always be facing your target and limits your ability to counter-attack a target that has flanked you.

Ammo racks are situated in the front and back of the vehicle meaning a side hit is not likely to detonate any rounds, a hit to the front or back my cause them to detonate but they are unlikely to take out much of the crew.

Crew are relatively spaced out meaning an AP shot will struggle to take out all the turret crew. APHE and APCBC is able to take out all turret crew but there is the possibility of one or two of them surviving. AP is able to travel through the full tank taking out the driver and potentially injuring crew or taking out ammunition. The turret is extremely venerable to HE with one shot being able to take out the entire gunner crew, and a HE shot to the front is most likely to take out the driver. With 15mm armour on the turret low caliber MG fire will struggle to penetrate the vehicle. 20mm AP will be able to penetrate the vehicle from 1400m away leaving the vehicle vulnerable to aircraft fire, however other aircraft ammunition of lower caliber or non-AP will struggle to do damage.
