@than357 Thanks a bunch.
-
No familarity besides their being targets - sorry. The limited elevation and depression of the gun is at least one issue that the Abrams doesn't have and would interfere cross-country stabilization.
-
@than357 Oh, ok. I know for sure the Abrams can get a first round hit at 40 miles per hour. Do you have any info on the T-55/62/72? I heard they have stabilization systems, too.
-
@than357 O that does make sense.Thank you

The cupola mount gun was a pain and added nearly a foot in height to the tank. It was a bitch to load inside with the ammo belt wrapping around the cupola. The .50 on both tanks is fired inside the vehicle, so you really don't lose much utility.
-
M60A3 had a rudimentary stab system - you had to find the sweet spot (around 10-15 mph) that the sight would more or less balance out at and you could shoot and move. Nothing compared to the Abrams.
-
why arent the .50 cals in a closed thing on the M1 like they are on the M60
-
Is the M60A3 capable of firing accurately on the move like the M1? I know it has a stabilized gun.

@WALancer I stand corrected! Thanks!!
Patricas,you dont know a damn thing about tanks.I suggest you stop lipping off about m60's.You can fire 3 rounds in 15 seconds when the loader is fresh.After heaving 25 rounds into the gun you start getting tired,which means your loading time will increase.A tank crew is a well oiled machine.When you live in your tank for 3 weeks at a time you get to know what the other crew members are gonna do before they do it.You react not think.Thinking wastes time.Thats a luxury a crew cant afford
