The M60 family / War Thunder 

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

Last time I was this early, the R3 had already captured the point.

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.

That's a weird looking Abrams.

M60s are great but stock APFSDS is better

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.

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

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

Useless against SABOT/HEATFS

"error armor" First time auto subs were accurate.

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.

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

yes and the mantlet aromor isn't fixed NICE.

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.

Last time i was this early apfsds was stock

0:47 - Momentary Kermit.

Love that voice sounds lik documantaire

Give us back the stock APFSDS please

my dad got to command the M60A3 and M1A1 abrams its awesome to see these metal beasts in game

I have all of those tanks, they're all weak compared the their competitors

No variant is fun to play with since it get’s 1 shotted every time and also because the MASSIVE gun mantlet is STILL ONLY 127mm thick!!!!!!!

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 :)

I was a 19 Echo Gunner on an M-60 RISE! We were cocky because most Tankers STUNK at Gunnery. I shot High Tank in AIT on Fort Knox in 1977. Being an Arkansas Hick, I understood Bore Sighting as well as some of the Sargents. Being a Bass Player I know when your string is Sharp, you loosen them first then tighten. On the 105mm M-68, you make a "G" pattern and check the Bore Scope as needed and adjust the sight knobs for the Crosshair and Range Finder as needed. Then the M-60 TTS hit the streets, Laser Range finder, Tank Thermal Sights and Digital + Analog computer and all of a sudden being a almost nothing special. Now the Tanker Gunner for Dummies TTS version was on the Tank Range, we had to change the Quals on the Range.

#FREEAPSFDS FOR ALL MBTS

Just some positive feedback here. I just wanted to say, great video Gaijin! I love your voice Bruce, keep it up!

This tank. Is now used by the United States as lawn ornaments

Honestly i don't play them, they are out classed by most other mbts of the same br

Interesting presentation, but you've focused on the MBT M60s. I served 5.5 yrs. as a 12F Combat Engineer Vehicle Crewmen 10, 20, & 30 operating/commanding an M60 CEV & AVLB. Would have liked seeing them included.

Not to interrupt here but apparently there's a variant of the m48 called "M48A5", which already used the M68 105 mm gun way before the m60 came into service, so yeah, its not new

Im a proud owner of all m60s including the ambt. I love all of them dearly and they are my go to tanks.

We want the stock apfsds back. And I even play such tanks! Edit: I meant to say I *dont* even play such tanks.

I really like the M60 AMBT, but the M-60-2000 would be a great addition to Warthunder.

I only know of one Army M60A3TTS that had the ERA armor. It was AEB103 at the Armor/Engineer Board at Ft. Knox. It's nickname was the Armadillo. I was lucky enough to be on that tank back in the 80's. The ERA was a pain when it came to doing some things such as refueling, had to get the turret just right to open the fuel ports.

Warthunder should hold an event where all the warthunder youtubers face off

M60 AMBT is like holding youre new child for the first time... Beautiful

My first time meeting a M60 was when I played my Tiger II

So basically I just drove around a corner and then got shot by a M60. Deadly

My favorite M60 is the AMBT because the turret isn't modeled correctly on the ring so the turret ring is exposed to auto cannon fire.

Thank you, I love them. They were the first tanks I started. I enjoyed all 20 some years. All my units were great.

I love the starship for its turret armour. The gun and commander is usually the only thing they can pen hull down

Always top class vids for a top class game. Keep up the good work or I'll have nothing else to play

My favorite M60 to play with is the US M60A3 TTS (with the CARC camo). I think it's a great late cold war vehicle and I love to pair it up with my Abrams for a great duo.

We had the SABOT Round. A Armor Defeating Round. The Heat Round, Beehive and Beehive Times Round The HEP Round for Bunkers and WP Very Nasty Round. The 7.62 Machine Gun and the 50 Cal

I was on the M60A1 Rise Battle Tank while I was in the service. It was a Beast

I've been playing since 2013 and I have only unlocked the first M60 lol I mean I spread my time around but this video has inspired me to go and play it.

I first saw the M60 tank back in Fort Knox Ky back in 1976. I wasn’t a Tanker at the time 11K, I was a 11D and the Army changed the MOS back in I think 1978 to 19D. I loved the M60 but had a little fear of close spaces. At one time I was going to reenlist to 19K for a $5,000 bonus but instead I enlisted for OH-58 aircraft mechanic MOS 67V good move on my part 😂. Still today at age 58 I still love two US Army tanks the M60’s and M1A1.

hmm yes the M60 Tank line. its not like these things are very bad ingame... oh wait

The Sgt York deserved mentioning. It didn’t work out but the concept was neat.

I love the AMBT version. It just looks like an early Abrams.

I blew one of these up irl with a TOW 2BAero on a testing range. Was pretty cool.

M60 Patton will later be decommissioned in the US army and will be put into service in the US national guard until today the M60 Patton is still in service with the national guard

Can we please be able to test drive locked vehicles?

Would really love to see a Corsair, Fw 190 Würger or Yak series!!

Good video enjoy these do the Challenger family please Include a30 challenger too ;) Oh and when the new update releases do a video on the t-72 family

Why is the M60A1 at such a high battle rating when it was released before the Leopard, Chieftain, OF-40 and T-64?

Pls give back the stock apfsds or i go commit uninstall game.

Will you make a video of the best float planes?

Seeing an M60 front in a T-54 was basically “get ready to J out after taking a hit”

Looking forward to see Super M60 and M60 120S.

How do you pan the camera slowly like that in one direction, how do you move it slowly like that. I want to know. I NEED to know. Please

Awesome video, I think M60s are the best!

The M60 is amazing! There's plenty of M60s that can be added into the game too, like the M728, the SLEP, Super, M60-2000, Sabra and advanced Magachs.

When I make my 8.0 lineup I plan to have the Starship in my lineup because it looks cool

Imagine war thunder was not delevopt by gaijin

M60A1 & A2 are pretty fun ngl. I have thw premium one in Italy. It's amazing when you don't face British tanks in 7.7

The first time I saw an m60 was in a museum think it was the a1 and it was awsome

I love all the graphics in this games

I actually served in the M 60 A-1 rise passive tank in the Marines

Will there be a video on the glorious Zara? Ciao

What about the m-60 with the abrams turret?

I love M60A2 because its just different, but I would appreciate some tank after it in research tree 🙂pls

This is perfect

We want stock APFSDS on ALL MBTs

I hope you guys will add the m60 to the Italian tech tree, and no I'm not talking about bringing back the premium one, just a normal m60 that we can unlock normally

my favorite m60 to play (as an Leo 1 driver) is the dead one in the enemy team

M60. The first US tank in the history to be on par with Soviet tanks of its time.

It took me seven years to be finally able to get this tank only to get killed a minute into the game

I play Germany as my main nation. I was using the KT 105 when i first saw an M60. I panicked and fired, but he ignored me and shot my teammate in a Leopard. Managed to get him in the side of the turret afterwards

I think we need to compare the tanks of all nations from the game at same years of production, not same tier in game. that maybe interesting video

I find that using the M60A1 RISE (P) to bully BMP's is pretty fun.

I grinded like hell for my Cenauro ROMOR and MGS to enjoy stock APFSDS. They are in the trash now. All my top tier tanks are in the trash now.

i love war thunder but you never made a video about my favorite plane, the p40, i love this plane when i was a kid the warhawk is the best of all planes, i really like the warhawk i ask for everything to make a video talking of all your qualities best weapons or a family of the p40 i know it is too much to ask but it was something i liked very much that you talk about in this legend with wings😁😁😁

I can't wait till I get the cm11

my fav m60 to play with is m60a1 AOS!

The m47 was the first American MBT

I was used to battle m48s m47s ...but when i first shot m60 .... i shot it with 100m apds 3bm8 to the lower glacis and the shot ricochet . but i was able to bring that beast down later because he also bouced on my T-54 stalinium armor ...

My favorite m60 is the ambt cause well for obvious reasons

This is my fav tank ever for the rest of my life but please nuff the armor

I had an incident with a t-55 where it’s HEATFS managed to pierce through the ERA of the M60a3, how does that happen

Hello there Gaijin, I was just wondering why Volokolamsk isn’t in the map rotation anymore, as it was/is an interesting map.

Can you make a video about pages of history KV-2

Question: will there ever be mirages in naval battles?

hotline: what is the fastest round in the game(small arms, cannons, tank shells, missilies whatever)

#SaveStockAPSFDS

Hi Gaijin, M900A1 for the RISE(P) and TTS when?

Add the Blackburn Buccaneer, to go with the Phantom or the Sea Vixen to go with the Scimitar

Hey yeah funny how the Leopard and the Magach 3 both have the L7a2 with APDS that can pen 301mm, but when the m60 has the SAME GUN it can only pen 260. German and premium Bias?
