Apparently it was more capable than the earliest M1s, but it's pretty close to the end of the time period: "The procurement of M60A3 and M60A3 TTS tanks for the Army concluded and hull production ceased in May 1983" Man I'm excited to see this game! Yup! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Good show.....Knew I could count on you! This will be a very interesting game.....Massed T-64s against the earlier M-60s is going to be really nasty. You guys will be needing some Chieftains to help you out.....Soon please, so I can blow up Iran! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IICptMillerII Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks for the kind words everyone. The Chieftain shared the video on his Facebook page, which is pretty cool. Does that mean we are mainstream now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalon Jones Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I always knew that Armageddon would be scored with cold 1980's synths. At least that's how I remembered it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Sooooo... who here still has a device that produces the wobbly blue screen that appears just after the Battlefront logo? I know I do! And someday I'll get Spinal Tap on DVD so I can retire it Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) At minute 2:33 those are T80Bs, distinguishable by the turret basket on the left side and the missile guidance box mounted in front of the commander's station. People always wanted to see T80 in the game, though I suspect they were expecting the 1985 T80U. Still, T80's got a [turbine] engine and just FLIES across the landscape!

That "turban" engine: is it the mid-east export version? T64s, T80s, oh, my. A very different matchup for the US when they're fielding M60s. This is not your CMSF shootout. And, gotta say, the vcr intro is great. I'd forgotten the whirling sounds they'd make. (Be kind, and rewind.) Great video!

kipanderson Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi, congratulations.. it is a great video! Favourite CM setting. The tech balance is perfect between electronics and heavy metal. Also the armies were very much real. Plus interesting to play out "what could have been..." with such a high quality wargame/simulation. The ultimate tactical wargame in my very bias opinion! All the best, kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a musician, I appreciate the ease and convenience of digital, but I started out on 1/4 inch tape. Sounds better, but is harder and more unforgiving to work with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCat60 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Oh boy howdy, does that bring back some memories for this cold war veteran who stood on the line in Germany ready to face the "evil empire" (Salute to Ronnie Regan)" Great video! Covered a lot of the new material in a concise and entertaining way. Haven't heard a load up and start of a VHS machine in years! Felt like I was watching a Camcorder tape that some news crew had submitted of the build up during the saber rattling and commencement of hostilities. Like a previous post I totally loved the music. But my first guess was Jan Hammer of Miami Vice fame because of the heavy drum beat. Tangerine Dream as I remember was more "ethereal". Either one will have to be playing in the background when I commence to playing this. If my brother allows me to dig into his cassette tape collection "museum" and borrow his ghetto blaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCat60 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Oh yeah and I forgot to add that NATO doesn't fear the Soviets! The U.S. Army had United Federation of Planets technology. They had "starships". For those who remember this "wunderwaffen" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a T-80U man myself: Hopefully we'll see a few more varieties in a few more of the games. Hell if Steve & Co. were feeling expansive enough we could even have 'em in CM:SF2, Yemen has them.....Just the thing for the inevitable counter-offensive to Riyadh!
