Markus200544 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was interested in a MOD for the M-60 tank. If it is not part of the main game no go. Anyone think this is something worth a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 M60 tank is not in the game. It was replaced by M1A1 in 1978 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 You must have typo'd there, TC. Patton is still quite popular in the Middle East. Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon and most other Arab states have them in some form or other (like Sabra). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Patton is still quite popular ... Patton = M48. But perhaps you were referring to the general! Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrspawn Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Patton = M48. But perhaps you were referring to the general! Best regards, Thomm Negative. There are 4 variants of the Patton tank: M46 Patton · M47 Patton · M48 Patton · M60 Patton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 And Wikipedia sayz: Although developed from the M48 Patton, another interim until replaced by the M60, the M60 series was never officially classified as a Patton tank, but as a "product improved descendant" of the Patton series of tanks. [Hunnicutt, p.6 & 408] They should learn how to cite properly, though. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 But in any case ... You'd be hard pressed to "mod" a M1 to be a M60 (even a M60A3 would be difficult, and the M60A2 impossible). Apart from the external shape, you'd have to adjust: 1. The Fire Control System 2. The effectiveness of the main armament 3. The armour protection values 4. The crew survivability, and 5. The automotive performance None of which is available to people (apart from the developers) to "tweak". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was somewhat disappointed that Turkey won't make it into the NATO game. For one thing there was your excuse for building the M60A3 right there! Plus we've got the purely hypothetical prospect of Turkey raiding into northern Iraq (again) to punish the Kurds and running into U.S. forces. A Blue-on-Blue battle that's not as entirely outlandish as most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Global Security claims otherwise, and I frankly would find it strange that they would have gotten rid of all the Magach 6's and 7's so quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 IDF still have all M60A1/A3 Magach 6 and Magach 7 variants in storage. Hell, some M60A1/A3 Magach 7A/C's were seen near Israel Gaza border before Operation Cast Lead. ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
