This Tank Is Hopeless

Decal link: tinyurl.com/42...
The American M60 main battle tank has seen innumerable upgrades throughout its lifespan, but one is particularly interesting. The M60 120S or M60 2000 received the turret of an M1 Abrams and an upgraded powerpack. In War Thunder it only has the former, making it incredibly slow and painful to use.

This Tank Is Hopeless

[@Spookston]

In retrospect I believe a lot of my bad experiences with this thing can be attributed to the general state of top tier, but the lack of mobility really hurts it. Maybe I'll try replaying it sometime.

[@Flyingtank-nj9mt]

the M48A1, it is extremely bad and you get apcr as the stock shell couldnt be worse.

Top tier is miserable most of the time unfortunately. It's fun to play with all of the neat toys the tanks get but it's just not fun

There was someone explaining how tanks are coded in the game. "They don't do torque in the game. Ground vehicles are essentially planes with a bunch of gravity drag and counter-friction applied to them..." Quite literally climbing hills in this game decreases your engine power. I forget specifically how it works, but the basic logic is "More speed = More torque" This is why things like the ITO couldn't climb out of a tiny ass crater because it was slow to accelerate, and therefore had no torque.

Take Philippines (third world) for example, Uses surplus equipment and vehicles from USA like M113s, while their most modern are from European countries like France or Spain and also Israel (the newest Sabrah light tank they just got is from Spain with Israeli electronics) Meanwhile, Vietnam, which would be a second world country, currently has the T-90S as their modern tank equipment, with other Soviet era tanks in service as well.
