What do you guys think would be good for a new article for Rita? Taking suggestions M60A1/American medium related

[Jarms48]

Support 100%, would love to see Option 1 implemented.

 

You could keep the M46 (M46E1 when fully researched), then make the production model M47 Patton a premium (as it had a redesigned hull), as an alternative to the M46 Patton KR.

Would more US camo's be something that some would want to know about?

Off of today's Q&A.

Q: Is there a chance that we will see the M60A1 introduced into the tech tree for the USA, to help update it a bit to a current standard of other nations with vehicles from the 1960's (T-62A, Leopard 1, AMX-30B, ect.). As well as make the US tier 10 medium competitive with other nations.
-Not A1) smth else, I really want to improve US med line.

 

Very good news in away, just have to wait and see

"Not A1 " the way he phrased that makes me think that whatever they're planning will be another M60 variant, but which one could it be if that's the case? The Starship would be out of place, I thought that the A3's laser rangefinder disqualified it, and the Super 60 would be way too new, right? Is there an M60 I'm missing, or is it more likely that they're going to use a different tank entirely?

OP, that was an amazing job you, and all who helped, did.  Kudos.

I personally would prefer to see it as an alternate heavy to the E5.

Increased rate of fire might compensate for Alpha damage.

But hell, I WANT THE M60A1 ( the tank companies start with "H" ).  My tank's name was "Helpless" (nod to cb&n).  Our M113 was named "Hors D'oeuvre".

Who says it is over? I am still working on this Campaign, it is there is only so much can be done on the forums. 

[ToothDecay]

I wasn't trying to imply anything.

It's just straight talk.

[Legiondude]

Should probably add at this point, Option 1's possibility of giving an M26 at tier 7 the T15 is not something I'm continuing to advocate

Fixed. Its off the list. 

[SoukouDragon]

Lots of great work. Naturally plus 1.

 

"Not A1 but something else" doesn't sound so good though. No idea what could be more satisfying than M60A1. Also would love to have a Tier 8 M47.

[DrScubaSteve]

Great idea. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard for WG considering that most of the chassis,guns and a few turrets already exist in game.

[Parasitic_Angel]

I would like to see option 2 or 3. I loved to M60 when I was in the Marines 80-88. Semper-Fi

I got an M60 this campaign, what about you fellas?

The M60 in-game isn't the one everyone wants, the M60A1 is.

[Blackhorse_Six_]

The entire M68-armed series belongs in the tech tree ... Period.

 

Put the M60A2 up for the CW crowd.

 

All this time, WG should have been putting-up all that phoneywaffen trash for CW Prizes and opening the tech tree for iconic production tanks like the M60-series. That way, the phoneywaffen trash would have been a non-polluting rarity.

 

Those of you who advocate jumping right to the M60A1 are ignoring the reason why the A1 was produced - the Slick 60 is an important step in that process, and it belongs in the tech-tree ahead of the A1, or as the first turret on the stock M60A1.

 

Why hell, just for the M60 alone, WG could go all the way back to those three M48 concept tanks from which the Slick 60 was developed, and which later served as the base concept for the M48A5 program at Aniston Army Depot.

 

Those of us who crewed them would probably prefer to see the Slick 60 as it's own end-item.

 

CW Prize be damned ...

What do you think it could be?

[favrepeoria]

So the proposal is to down tier the American meds again so we can fit one more recent tank? I remember when T23 was in the game still as tier 8

[spikenightjammer]

looks cool good info

[armando30]

it's true that the US tech tree needs rework and that includes the medium line and in recent Q&As they told the work already started (on the medium line)

 

I think your idea is interesting but you are aproaching it from the wrong "angle", intead of moving tanks that are capable enough at their tier (M26 and M48) why not simply rework it to keep a certain "consistency" in gameplay through out the whole line, that of course would require multiple lines

 

1st line

tier 6: Jumbo>> tier 7: T25 (or T26, without M26 top guns and only the M3?)>> tier 8: M26>> tier 9: T26E5(152mm of frontal armor, same guns as current M46)>> tier 10: M48

it would be sort like a heavy hitter line with decent armor, powerfull guns but worse mobility

notice that there's also no reason to remove the top guns on the M26 since post-war the 90mm M3 was replaced by a more powerfull gun (I think called T54) that was similar to the T15E2 90mm gun in terms of performance

 

2nd line (mobility line)

tier 5: M7 or T20 (as it was istorically)>> tier 6: Easy 8 or T22>> tier 7: T23>> tier 8: T42>> tier 9: M46 or M47 (possibly even the M47E2, 105mm gun)>> tier 10: M60 (wichever version availatble)

 

3rd line (auto-loader rework?)

not much to do except expecting the T77 medium as tier 10 or possibly the T54 with conventional turret and auto-loader wich should be a bit stronger than the T54E1 turret (I don't think it was actually ever built but since the hull was based on the M48 hull the turret should at least have similar armor values) and the hull is the same as the current tier 10 M48

I don't know if there's any other autoloader that was designed but not built that could fit tier 10 instead of the T77 with it's 120mm gun, of course it would receive a massive nerf in terms of number of shells per drum

 

it might also be possible to add a 4th line with the T54E2 and some T95 variants, or the Yoh tanks and many other "paper tanks"
