Stock to Spaded - M60A3 TTS - Should You Buy/Spade It? Mod RP Costs Are WAY Too High [War Thunder] 

10:44 The reason for the massive increase in RP for modifications is because end of the line vehicles have a much larger modification RP requirement so they take longer to spade. Realistically this should only apply to vehicles at the max rank of the tree and not before that, but because warthunder, it applies for every vehicle at the end of a line Its easy to notice that this is a thing, especially with some of the most obvious comparisons being the Leclercs and the Type-10s. A TKX rank 4 mod costs 20k RP, while a Type-10 rank 4 mod cost 33k RP

The M60 series of tanks will always have a special place, my favorite family of tanks 👍

I got my very first nuke in this tank yesterday so it now holds a special place in my heart but it is indeed painful to use and painfully slow (it’s becomes bearable after you get all the engine mods)

This tank is too good, IMO. This helped me get my first Abrams in a week with premium time. It can survive some ATGMs and Heli AGMs if they aim for the ERA, but not everyone knows that, somehow. It is slow, but its enough.

Gaijin: "We want people to play all of our vehicles." Also Gaijin: "Make some of these vehicles hell to play and make it take so long to grind all of the vehicles. We want people to suffer so bad that they are looking for every way to take a shortcut to the top because grinding everything will be hell and unrewarding." Also also Gaijin: "Why aren't people playing every vehicle?"

Personal favorite is the AOS, I've actually neglected the Rise and the TTS

I've honestly really enjoyed this tank, though I wish I could unequip the ERA to make it lighter and somewhat more mobile. It's not very survivable against most shells you'll face, but M774 and thermals definitely put in work at 9.0. I went for it first instead of the Abrams, since I knew I wouldn't go back for it once I hit the Abrams. Edit: I can only imagine it performs even better with the recent BR reshuffle, considering all the vehicles that were brought up to 8.0 or closer to 9.0.

Isn't it amazing, that the Taiwanese M60A3 TTS sits at 9.0 too, without ERA blocks and with only M735 as a Tier 4 modification?

Would like if Tankenstain did some Swedish tanks for Stock to Spaded

that 5:05 kill was naaasttyyy yet amazing

I personally believe if Gaijin can't reduce its BR to like 8.7 ( it's currently 9.0 ) they should buff the reload rate, it doesn't make sense how the M60 platform with a huge turret to make reloading faster, somehow is one of the slowest reload, they should put it at like 4.5-6.5 second at max

Imo id grind it out, im just really anticipating the m60ax in the future. Also the m1 is actually just pain when compared to the m60 line, even if you take a rise p to 10.3 it will always do better, I'm not sure why as the m1 should be better in every way but it just has worse luck i guess. Its like the m10 at 5.7 when compared to the m18, the m10 just does betterevery time despite being worse.

You know, I absolutely love M60s design IRL, so for me it was must research - spade vehicles... But in game, espacially the TTS and RISE, these two are immensively painful to spade. These two are the only vehicles in the entire game that made me cry from frustration when spading them... If I can advise anyone, do not continue the M60 line after the AOS... AOS is actually a very good tank, even though it got moved up to 8.3 from 8.0 in the last big BR change update. But, from pragmatic point of view, there is literally no reason to research the TTS and RISE other then, you just like these tanks... I actually ended up paying for the vital mods for TTS including - first APDSFS round, laser rangefinder, thermals, filters, engine, transmission and for both gun elevation and horizontal turret drive mods... the rest being done with premium account and let me tell you... when spaded, this vehicle is very fun to play. Well, it's actually like the M60 AOS with the nessessary tools to compete on higher BRs such as APDS FS, LR, thermals and "increased" protection against chemical rounds. I had many good games in it and I just love the aesthetics and feel of a "classical" tank desing, if you know what I mean... it's also not the slowest tank out there - also when fully spaded - but where it's mobility shines is in the on spot manevuering, like every M60 tank in the game and so on and so on... In short, it's a good tank in it's top configuration (btw do not forget to atleast expert your crew, also very important to note), but with it's crippling mod RP costs, it's the most painful spade you can undertake in this game imo... in stock it's slooooow, cumbersome, with HEAT FS with strangely enough, thanks to it's size and crew displacement decent first hit survivability, but without the Spare parts and FPE, well... it's maybe for the worse, since it just prolongs your suffering... If you need this tank becuase you love the M60s (like I do), you better of be ready to have some spare money to put into it (real money), otherwise... AVOID IT! You'll be infinitely better of with XM 803 and MBT 70, till you reach the first Abrams... PS: I was spading the TTS, when the premiumville on 9.7 - 10.0 was a big thing... nowadays, the grind can be better, since the premiumville moved even beyond 10.0. Also TTS was not affected by the last big BR change, so now it sits on the 9.0 BR high tier sweet spot, IMO... correct me if I'm wrong...

with that... tank.. i have 91 fights... 60 kills....... 90 deaths....7 upgrades.....amazing job by gaijin.. to put 27000 points to research one module.. people avoid to play high brs.. not only cause the cost.. but because of the exhaustion to grind the tanks the modules....... is amazingly bad how gaijin treat the players on that matter..... i will wait until the modules get lowered to play that.. thing again... i believe the september will apply that.. as comparison referance.. i spaded the C2A1 in parallel with the big betrha( class 3 p) those tanks were more easy to catch up and keep it .. cause i think it was 12000 per module.. fun fact after i manage to get the first arrow.. i get in a map and eye ball and 1 shot one enemy..... claim in the chat.. no rangefinder .. most of the time the M60TTS get to face fast and aggresive tanks.. like the Type 16... and more of that kind... the moment you reach one area you want to be.... the team you are in is 60% out of the match....... why people play 1 tank.. is so so stupid..

I'm not playing this tank unless Gaijin fixes the RP costs whenever that's supposed to happen. The tank is dogwater as is, and stock is just unbearable. In fact, in some aspects, the Starship is better than TTS because Starship is faster, has better turret armor, uber accurate ATGMs and a derp artillery cannon.

I polayed this for a decent amount of battles but this isn't something you'll enjoy spading, I did try to but it was just too difficult and I ended up spending GE to get a lot of the modifications unlocked, once it's spaded the experience is much better but for 9.0 this thing is easily outclassed, the armor is atrocious and the speed is a big weakness.

I’ve been playing m60aos it’s pretty fun but I wonder how could the m60a1 rise p

First! Can't wait to watch this video!

the cost for rp mods is absolutely ridiculous the higher up you go

why dont you make a squadroon vehicle tier list?

I got the TTS probably 2 years ago and Im still grinding the mods lol. Im probably halfway through and am currently grinding the laser rangefinder. Costs need to go down so bad edit: I should specify I play it on and off. I haven't been constantly grinding it 2 years straight lol

I still feel like it should have a faster reload or m833.

you should see the chinese version, gets a worse top apfsds and no era at the same battle rating now

been considering grinding it out but I've only heard bad things and it seems to perform pretty poorly in test drive

ive said forever that this thing and the M1 Abrams at 10.3 need M833 ammo, and the M833 needs to have its pen fixed cuz it should be doing 423mm not 393mm this thing should also never see a battle higher than BR 9.7

Would you be able to do the AMX 10 next for the stock to spaded? Not sure if it's worth grinding in the tech line for France

I played through the Russian ground tree and then went back to the grind the M60-2000. Started with this tank, and so far, it has been miserable. Getting waterboarded with a five gallon can of JP8 would be more enjoyable than playing this tank. What pisses me off though, is that this tank was not bad in real life, but Gaijin had to nerf it for "balance."

1:13 ok papa

Yeah the 2 biggest gripes I have with the M60 series is the armor and the mobility. The lack of one of these would be perfectly fine if the other was significantly better. The AMBT is alright at 10.0 with the 1200hp engine, and is only let down by the fact that you usually lose half your crew anytime anyone looks at you funny.

They should add more vehicles to this line

I want this thing SOOOO bad!

Truly garbage. The only reason I went for this *before any other 9.0 tank* was that I figured it would take a while to spade so by the time it's spaded, I have another tank to focus on for sure and that it would be nice to play something you don't see a ton of in every match. I was right on the first count, but only half-right on teh second: It's not nice to play in the least. Absolutely awful to play, and there's a reason you never see these. The is-4m outruns this on snow. Absolutely ridiculous.

the Israeli m60's are just much better

This video didn't age very well...

got my first nuke with the M60A3 TTS and A1 RISE (P)
