The M60 Medium Tank was a heavily armoured tracked battle vehicle, which formed the backbone of the Allies' armoured division during the Second World War.
[edit] Background
It's single 105mm cannon allowed it to be a match to enemy armour, while retaining it's maneuverability. Also, it cost less to produce than heavy Soviet units. The medium tank was not instantly available to the Allies during the Great World War II, and ententered in service later, to match the amounts of Soviet armor. Although the lightest tank of the USSR was still stronger, it did even the odds somewhat in that the medium tank could be far better mass produced than any Soviet tank, as it was significantly cheaper and faster.

The medium tank was replaced by the Grizzly Tank by the Third World War.
[edit] Behind the Scenes
