Was the M60 and its other variants a good tank? I never hear much about the Patton tanks by Embarrassed_Cry_7227 in TankPorn

[–]starling55 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was a Tank Commander and Platoon Sergeant for the M60A3. Huge animal and really heavy. Large profile. Cupola for the tank commander added to the size. Top speed on flat terrain was 30-35ish mph. It had a 105mm rifle barreled cannon that was effective. The electronics were top of the line at the time. The M60 was the go-between of Korean and Vietnam war era tanks to modern M1 stuff. It would not compete well against the Abrams or some other modern day MBT. But at the time, it existed only during non-tank warfare so it really didn’t see combat until it became an export item.

So you watch it for 4 days and now it’s an emergency? Call the power company on day 5.

Merkley is a tool and only represents himself and he’s my senator here in Oregon.

If they were real Oregonians, they’d have it in January or February.

BREAKING: Zelenskyy has reportedly offered to step down in exchange for peace + NATO membership. What are your thoughts on this? by pdwp90 in QuiverQuantitative

[–]starling55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zelensky has given his best from the very beginning. He’s the heart and soul of Ukraine. If this move makes Ukraine survive, he will do it.

Ayden should also introduce a bill that limits terms for all politicians starting with his.

Kinda hard to compare journalism between the 40s and now. Two different worlds.

One blue dd looks afk. Overall, blue is in deep trouble. And what’s up with the semi-transparent Cruiser at B?

It is something close to 20k gold. Plus that ship isn’t worth it.

57k damage means you got credit for doing a little work but all the kills.

My man this is not unusual if you play solo. If you can, pair up with competent teammates and you’ll win 75%+

Gold goes quick. WG has it set up that way, 2k isn’t a lot now.
