The Sheridan is a powerful tank with a massive main cannon, though its armor includes an outer layer of aluminum rather than steel plating. As such, its powerful main cannon kicks up a great deal of recoil. The main turret has a full 360-degree range of motion, while the gunner position is outfitted with an M240 machine gun.
