  • "The tank didn't play a significant role in Vietnam."

    It was a mission-critical weapon in Vietnam! Google "Armor Magazine", and read "Vietnam: Tanker's War?" (May-June 1997) and "Viet Cong Infantry Attack on a Firebase Ends in Slaughter When Armor Arrives" (May-June 2000);

  • Well, if this tank had come across a T55 or T-62 in western Europe, it would've been toasted. It had weaker armor and weaker firepower than the soviet tanks.

  • you must not ridden on one in Nam like those of us who did...yes we played a biug difference. Ask the NVA who operated in III corp

  • sick

  • awesome

  • I love the M48 (All Variants) it just says "Tank."

  • @DasFuhrerinagstring..... it was hot, dirty, hard work and the best time of my life.

  • @redneckgregg I know it's a bit late to reply because you posted this a year ago but if you wouldn't mind could you tell what it was like to be in of those machines? I'm doing research on the Vietnam conflict and would love to hear a first hand account. If wouldn't mind answering my questions could you send me a message? :)

  • @redneckgregg yea don't listen to a damn thing blacktaildefense says his channel is bias anti-american videos and he fails to see any flaws in any other country but his own and while his facts come from shady anti us websites and non credible internet propaganda he is bent on the demise of his own country and people like him don't under stand what the US is capable of. as well all his followers are ignorant uneducated foreigners who have only been taught to hate the US and thanks for serving.

  • @krirobt that is an m2 , however i think they sped up that section of it fireing. it only had a cycle rate of 500-550 rpm. i agree with you that looks strange

  • @redneckgregg I reckon so - I guess they just must have had them firing a little faster back in the day.
