Basically a M60 AMBT with the 25mm autocannon. It is also receiving some M1A2T (basically a SEP2) this month as well but that is probably too advanced to add. Thoughts on gaijin adding the M60A3 120mm at least? would fit at 9.7 alongside the ztz96's (down from 10.0 M60 AMBT due to lacking the autocannon) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to see what they look like in ROC service first Edited June 13, 2022 by hypilot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the upgrade actually goes through and a prototype is unveiled, sure. Until then, it's not gonna sit well with many players.

十大建設推動者蔣經國 15 Report post Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) It is highly unlikely that the ROC's M60A3 tanks are getting 120mm smoothbore gun because these tank's main priority is to fight against enemy light tanks and support friendly infantries. It is confirmed that these M60A3 tanks will be gradually upgraded with 1200HP Continental AVDS engine, improved turret drives, high resolution thermals and improved fire control system. Still no updates about the armour upgrades for these ROC's M60A3 tanks. So very likely, it will be like M60AMBT without 120mm smoothbore gun and 25mm autocannon but with better mobility. So, this particular tank with DM63 105mm APFSDS will sit nicely in BR9.0 as a more mobile tank destroyer. Edited September 16, 2022 by Sam_Min_Ju_Yee To elaborate things more clearly.
