Many of its features reflected new design concepts including a more powerful engine for better speed and agility and improved main gun for better firepower. the M46 say combat action in Korea. The M46 never saw service with the 1st Division but did see heavy action with the 6th Tank Battalion, 24th Division during the Korean war.
