FAQs

Is the M60 in War Thunder? ›

The 105 mm Gun Tank M60 is a rank V American medium tank with a battle rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.51 "Cold Steel".

The M60, though largely phased out, continued to be used in the 21st century by U.S. Navy SEALs. It was the main 7.62 mm machine gun used by some U.S. special operations forces to the late 1990s.

Description. The Type 5 is currently the most powerful gun mounted on an IJA tank in War Thunder. It draws parallels to the famed German 88 mm KwK43, sporting similar muzzle velocity and penetration, but with significantly increased explosive filler and improved angled armour penetration.

The M60 was deployed to West Germany to counter the threat presented from the T-54s and T-55s of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact as well as to South Korea but was never sent to South Vietnam mainly due to unfavorable terrain and the general lack of significant numbers of North Vietnamese armor.

Honestly, it was a constant love-hate relationship with the M60. Grunts hated carrying it because it was much heavier than the standard M16. But on the other hand, EVERYBODY gladly carried 100 rounds of M60 ammo, because everybody loved the brutal amount of rounds it could put down-range.

The M60 is a gift tank awarded to players for finishing in top places in the first Clan War campaign (top 50 in RU cluster, top 30 in EU, NA, and SEA). It is not currently available in the tech tree, gift shop, or by any bonus codes at all but can be purchased for 15,000 bonds in the bond shop.

While the M60 was loved for its ability to be carried by a single soldier, the gun still weighed a back-breaking 30 pounds when loaded with a standard 100-round contact belt. It was also prone to malfunctions. The wet and dirty conditions of the Vietnamese hinterlands frequently caused the M60 to jam.

The F11F-1 Tiger is a supersonic carrier-based jet fighter equipped with the Wright J65-W-18 engine. The plane is able to reach about Mach 1 speed in level speed (climbing may be necessary) making it one of the fastest planes at its battle rating, but getting it past that speed will require some diving.

108A was armed with a massive 102 mm 102/35 mod. 14 cannon (a bored-out version of the proven 90 mm 90/53 mod. 41 anti-tank cannon) in its fuselage, one of the largest armaments ever fitted onto an aircraft at that time.

What is the most powerful round in War Thunder? ›

Armour-Piercing, Fin-Stabilised, Discarding Sabot (APFSDS)

APFSDS rounds are the most powerful kinetic rounds available in-game.

During the Vietnam War, the United States relied on the M60 and the M219 for medium machine guns. The M60 was favored by ground forces for its durability and high rate of fire, but malfunctions spurred the Department of Defense to explore possible alternatives. The M240 emerged as the best replacement for the M60.

However, according to The Military Balance 2021 the U.S. still had 230 M60 AVLBs on inventory and just 54 of the new M1074s. So the M60 AVLBs end up being what the U.S. could readily give to Ukraine without removing the newest equipment from its operational units.

The M60A2, nicknamed the "Starship" due to its Space Age technology, featured an entirely new low-profile turret with a commander's machine-gun cupola on top, giving the commander a good view and field of fire while under armor but spoiling the low profile.

In the Vietnam War, the M60 was used in every conceivable role for a machine gun: mounted on trucks, jeeps, armored personnel carriers, and other vehicles; on tripods inside fortifications; on aircraft and boats. The M60 saw its widest use with American infantry forces on the ground in Vietnam.

Introduced in Update 1.67 "Assault", the FV4005 Stage II is truly the epitome of a "glass cannon". With the largest-calibre conventional tank gun in the game at 183 mm, even glancing hits from its powerful HESH shells tend to result in significant damage to a target.

Introduced in Update "Air Superiority", the F-15A Eagle succeeds the equally famous F-4E Phantom II in the tech tree. The F-15A is represented as the 1994 model in service with the US Air National Guard, being outfitted with 240 countermeasures and the upgraded AN/APG-63 PSP radar, but lacking AIM-120A and BOL rails.
