T-55 "The Beast" || GHPC || Gunner HEAT PC! || # Tanks #

T-55 was rather outdated in 1985 but still dangerous opponent. If used in smart way you can deal massive damage even to numerically superior enemy. If M60TTS have Thermal Sight , you just need to make them look other way.

crazy ambush

[@Shocktroop_0313]

lol I've seen some tank units do that in force on force exercises. Had some actual soviet vehicles as opfor and the friendly tanks and bradleys just charged straight ahead after they were advised of enemy opposition location and make up. 🤣

Quite realistic situation. Against Thermal Sights your only option is to stay away from where enemy is looking. Apparently In battle of 73 Easting Iraqi Type-69 parked behind building in Al Busayyah town let approaching elements of US 2nd “Iron Brigade” to pass and open fire from rear flank, albeit ineffective. No one was scanning in that direction as everyone was focusing on what was ahead. It cause instant confusion and order was called to disengage After “grid box” been cleared M270 MRLS strike was dropped. You could technically say that this lone Type-69 managed to delayed whole brigade assault.

great work also fun fact ( not for the enemy ) but if you shoot at something like a M60 with BR-412D at the right angle and aim for the turret the round will punch thorough the armor and can fuse inside one of the crew members and the AAR looking like a 100MM air burst round detonated inside the turret. and then the dev's add gore i don't think that will be an image you're going to forget

[@letsgotactical2435]

APHE is a killer if you shot M60 from a flank. When it bursting inside it will detonate all ammunition spread around crew compartment almost instantly. Even M60 is popping its turret in Russian style.

@@letsgotactical2435 funny how everyone companies that soviet MBT's pop there turrets anytime they get shot and yet the same could be side for every NATO MBT before Abrams and other late NATO tanks also i think the M60 has the worst crew survivability of any tank in ghpc - it's as tall as a house - has simple steel armor - a rolling ammo rack and also everything is very close to one another at least the t55 has it small size and the T-72's carousel is at the bottom of the tank. the thing that messes up the T72 is the ammo for the 2nd reload that is also %100 likely to get hit also the T72 has composite armor on the hull and the KVARTZ turret + the 16mm add-on plate for the hull on the M1

In 1970’s T-72 keep US tankers in Europe actually awake at night. 125mm gun , low profile sheer numbers and far advanced design compare to T-62 or T-55 was something to recon with. US attention and resources was spend in Vietnam leaving European theatre dangerously exposed. Short term solution was perfecting “combined arms doctrine” leveraging assets like TOW or Air Power to have standing chance in fight. Long term was technological Army revamp , bering fruits in early 80’s with Abrams , Bradley, Apache , Kevlar Helmet , GPS, etc. Even just before Desert Storm , tank crews been worried about facing T-72’s and no one suspect it will be actually such a one sided fight. M60 linage is direct line from M26 Pershing, a WW2 tank . So despite all refinements it was already very obsolete by 1970’s. Hence projects like MBT-70 , Chieftain/Challenger 1 been heavily researched since 1965.

@@letsgotactical2435 also the whole patten line of tanks where all stop-gaps wacth made things worse look at the M60A3's FCS and stabilizer wacth i describe as it is JANKAY AS HELL wacth M60A3 TTS Switchology, and a little M1A2. by the chieftain as while GHPC does a amazing job at modeling fire control systems the m60a1 and a3's FCS is not fully modeled and i don't think they will in the future. i could see them doing for multi-crew but that is it

[@Militaryfan-cz1fm]

Well yes, APHE is a killer for side hits but APFSDS-T is a killer for frontal hits, it’s way better in terms of penetration than APHE, that’s why APFSDS-T is the main armor piercing tank ammunition type and not APHE. Also, what are your favorite tanks? My favorite tank is the M1A2 Abrams MBT by the US Army, it’s the best American tank in the world. And about the M60 tank, are they used as target practice now?

[@Militaryfan-cz1fm]

Since autocannon (25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm) APFSDS-T rounds exist in real life, API ammo for autocannons is basically obsolete, right?

[@letsgotactical2435]

25mm M791 is a APDS-T. Auto canons are not smooth bore but riffled , so stabilisation is achieved by spin instead of fins. Due to small diameter of projectile it will be prohibitively expensive and difficult to fit fins in such small package, not mention a “set ring” . For example British L11 riffled gun require to use “set ring” with its “ FIN “ shot (British name for APFSDS-T) to reduce spin and energy wastage. Decision behind to develop L11 gun as riffled, was motivated primary to allow use of HESH ammunition , and for APFSDS was actually a limiting factor. So as all auto-canons are riffled then APDS is probably better option.

That's what I call "tactical"! :)

Thanks. As they say “Skills over Gear” 😁
