The M60 family / War Thunder

Показать описание

The M60 MBT was in service for many decades. It was first employed in the late 1950s, when the US was in dire need of a tank that could fight the newest generation of Soviet armour. Now, more than half of a century later, we can clearly see that American engineers created a combat vehicle with almost infinite potential for modernization. This video is all about the venerable M60 and its progeny: from the earliest models to the most modern ones. Let’s go!

I trained on the M60A1 with the First Cav in 1970. Went to Nam and was given a M551 Sheridan. Needless to say the M551 was not accepted well and was basically junk. In any case, I still have the complete training and operations manual for the M60A1. We felt safe in the M60, not so much in the M551 that had armor so weak a .50 cal could penetrate it.
I may not be the oldest player in War Thunder, but at 73 and a former tanker, I love the machines and the game.

Just a reminder the last Sherman left active duty in 2014

Why does the M60A1 in the vehicle have smoke grenades when the one in game doesn’t? Also give the M60A1 APFSDS, it’s been proven that the M60A1 had that shell yet we still have to use APDS at a BR where almost every MBT has APFSDS

The virgin stock HEATFS vs The Chad APFSDS

M60s are great but stock APFSDS is better

When I first took out my m60 when the new sounds were released I nearly crapped my pants for how amazing it sounded!

Ah yes designed so that the armour was impervious to the Russian 100 when in WT it can get smoked by the German long 75.

M60-2000: *cries at the corner*

Ngl, im very curious what it would be like ingame to drive that M60 hull with M1A1 Abrams turret and gun.

The M60 tanks would be a lot fun to play if their armor got fixed...

I first used the M60 back when it was a top tank for american tech tree.
Since then this once brilliant tank has been powercrept into oblivion and received unhistorical nerfs to the turret front.
Let me remind you that game still hasn't done justice to M60A series turret armor, insisting on HOLLOW mantlet!
If this is fixed I just might take them for another spin. For now, avoid it.

I love how these old MBTs really reflected the popular vehicle designs of their country and decade. You can see the auto manufacturer's influence in them, like how the M60's give off a 60's American muscle car aesthetic, the Leopard 1 is slick and fast like a German sports car, the T-55 and later models look like rugged and simple Soviet cars and trucks. It really was a great era for all aspects of the automotive industry, both civilian and military. And just like how in many ways those old cars and trucks still drive and even do hard work today, so do many vintage MBTs with a few modernizations.

3:30 a hint that the OG m60A1 RISE could be arriving in the near future, maybe a premium similar to the Amx-30 orginal

I drove, loaded, and yes my job was a gunner on this tank. Back in 1984.
I'll tell ya what. Being up on top of tank driving around others....the feeling of power was undeniable.
Its one hell of a kick to shoot one.
nothing. not a damned thing will ever replace THAT kick !
thanks for the memory run :)
