Hull & survivability

The front-to-side armor ratio is 2.2:1. This pronounced angling makes the M-II-Y significantly stronger when keeping its front facing the enemy.

About this vehicle

In 1953, the development of the T95 tank family started. In June of the same year, H.L. Yoh Company Inc. introduced seven prototypes, one of which was named the M-II-Y. It suggested creating a heavy tank of the usual configuration visually similar to the M48. However, there were many differences with the production vehicle: The turret contained only the commander and the loader, and the gunner was situated in the right side of the hull, to the right of the driver.
