In May 1940, work started on a 50-ton heavy four-turreted tank, similar in concept to the Soviet T-35 and other 1930s ‘land battleship’ designs. In October, the land battleship concept was abandoned for a more modern design with a single turret mounting a stabilized 3-inch gun with a coaxial 37mm gun. Initially the design had six machine-guns, but this was cut to four in the production vehicles. These were twin .50 cal machine guns in a bow mount, a useless fixed .30 cal machine-gun to be fired by the driver, and a .50 cal machine-gun on the commander’s hatch. On 26 May 1942 the tank was standardised for production as the M6.
