Sheridan

The M551 Sheridan Tank (or simply Sheridan) is a light tank developed during the 1960s and in service with the U.S. Armed Forces in 1969 to 1996. The Sheridan saw extensive use during the later years of the Vietnam War. Later on, it was not used very often by U.S. forces, only a few during the Panama conflict in 1989-90 and during the Gulf War of 1990-91.

Battlefield Vietnam
The Sheridan is a tank issued to the USMC and South Vietnamese factions. They appear on a few maps, specifically those depicting battles after 1969. Performance wise, the Sheridan is similar to any other tank in game. It has a main cannon that is very effective against other vehicles, being capable of killing another tank in 2 or so direct hits. The driver also commands a coaxial machine gun for infantry, which can kill fairly quickly with good accuracy. Another player can take control of the mounted M60 atop the turret, but this will generally attract many players as the one on the machine gun is a very open and immobile target.
