On 21 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Light Tank Mk VI to Mk VI light tank. The result of the discussion was moved. |

It's one thing to read "the Imperial General Staff considered the tank to be superior to any light tank produced by other nations" and "the Mark VI was used by the British Army to perform imperial policing duties [], a role for which it and the other Vickers-Armstrongs light tanks were found to be well suited"
That's "well suited" in the General Staff's (clueless) opinion and so it's okay.
But then the section goes on to list where the tanks were used, concluding "Being widely used by the British Army, the tank participated in several other important battles."
Wait what? No mention of how completely outclassed they were against German armor, at all? Reading the main Light Tank article we at least get "The British withdrew their light tank designs from their armoured divisions early in the war". No wonder! CapnZapp ( talk) 13:00, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm aware of surviving tanks at IMW duxford and bovington. Anywhere else? ©Geni ( talk) 16:46, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Heavy Tank M6 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 07:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
