-As a light tank, the 76 mm Sheridan has very weak armor, which can be penetrated by 12 mm high caliber machine guns on some tanks. Most of the crew is located in the turret, with only one driver sitting in the front of the hull. This makes any shot to the turret extremely deadly.

-As the Sheridans armor is barely capable of stopping machine gun fire, your best option would be to constantly be on the move. High speed and the great stabiliser allow the M551 to easily flank and capture points.

+The 76 mm Sheridan is an extremely fast tank for its battle rating, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h in both realistic and arcade battles. High speed and turret traverse make it more similar to higher BR MBTs in terms of mobility.
