M60

"The M60 was a deep modernization of the M48 tank. Development of the prototype was started in 1957, and in 1959 the order for production of the first tank was placed with Chrysler."

The M60 is a American tier 10 medium tank.

Pros

 * Highest base view range in-game (together with the M48A5 Patton and the XM551 Sheridan
 * Good gun depression
 * Gun has very good accuracy, penetration and alpha damage. Overall best gun handling stats in game
 * Better hull traverse and way better mobility than the M48A5 Patton

Cons

 * Worst camouflage of all medium tanks in its tier due to its very large profile
 * Other than the frontal hull, overall armor is a huge downgrade from the M48, especially the turret.
 * The giant machine gun cupola is a weak spot; However, you can abuse it with constant moving

The M60 plays very much like a Leopard 1, boasting the same gun depression, damage, and penetration. However, there are some key differences between the two. Overall, it has a slightly lower rate of fire, and it is larger with even worse camo values. However, to make up for this, the M60 has somewhat thicker armor, plus way better soft stats ex. aim time, etc.

Because the tank is so large and underarmored, your best bet is to not get shot in the first place. Along with the usual flanking that a medium tank can do, the M60 is excellent at supporting its team from behind cover. The gun depression, combined with the superb gun handling allows you to pop above a hill and get a shot off before the other team may be able to react. The view range also allows you to spot most other tanks that your teammates may have missed.

Going along with its view range, the M60 can also perform the role of a scout, assuming caution is taken. Because the M60 is such a large and poorly camouflaged target, using cover while spotting is a must. If you try to rush through enemy lines, you will quickly find your tank destroyed. You can use the MG turret to your advantage by spotting targets from behind cover while exposing very little of yourself. Your view range alone will also enable you to light enemies that your teammates cannot see.
