-As Israel upgraded its relatively old fleet of M60 tanks one of its many upgrades was the Magach 6C, based in the M60A3, one of the latest variants of the M60 family. While previous versions of these tanks included blazer ERA packages and relatively old fire control systems, the Magach 6C incorporated thermal imaging for the gunner as well as an improved engine similar to that used in the latest Sho't tanks. The tank used the '''Gal Batash''' fire control system, which employed first generation thermals. Other than that the tank received minor modifications like more smoke launchers but especially a laser warning receiver that allowed the tank crew members to be warned if an enemy was pointing at them with a laser be that a laser range finder or a laser guided anti tank guided missile.

-It was introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]]. Like most thanks of its family this vehicle lacks the mobility or the protection to be used consistently in the role of a flanker or a brawler. Compared to its predecessor it features a much more capable ERA package with up to 400 mm of protection against tandem shaped warheads like anti tank guided missiles or HEAT projectiles. It is still relatively competitive for its battle rating thanks mainly to the improved fire control system with first generation thermals for the gunner. Unfortunately the extra armour will not protect against APFSDS projectiles that are very common in enemy tanks around it's rank. A good idea with this vehicle is using it relatively passively in a support role aiding your teammates, thanks to your good gun depression you can use the cover of hills and other obstacles to hide your hull and only peak to shoot other enemy vehicles that are unaware of your presence.

 In battle, the Magach 6C is best used as a flanker and/or a sniper. At range, the turret armour is usually effective against the kinetic rounds used at its BR and the vehicle's laser rangefinder let's you pick off targets at long range with your potent APFSDS. The Magach 6C can also be used as a brawler using its stabilizer and thermals to find the enemy first and deliver a clean shot. The vehicle is also well equipped to take down low-flying helicopters or aircraft with its machine guns although it's not recommended as this will expose your location to nearby tankers. Finally, this vehicle offers very good situational awareness as the laser warning system will warn you anytime a vehicle laser rangefinds or launches laser-guided ordnance at you, giving you enough time to get to cover and hide.
