Now absolutely everyone knows about a computer game called World of Tanks, which is the only decent tank simulator. And this project is massively multi-user, which means that hundreds of thousands of gamers are taking part in the game at the same time. Its essence is to buy and pump over tanks where you can fight with other users. Naturally, you can easily understand that the technique itself plays the most important role, and you will have to try to get to those pieces of equipment that are really powerful. However, in this article we will talk about the M60 tank - it differs from most others in that you can not purchase it for any game currency. This is a prize model that has received a limited number of gamers. And at the same time, the M60 tank is extremely interesting, so in this article you will learn how it could be obtained, as well as what it actually is.
How to get this tank?
As you already understood, getting the M60 tank at the moment is not possible, since this is a limited model. The fact is that during the First Campaign on the Global Map, the developers decided to give certain prizes to the leaders of this war, including this tank of the tenth level, related to the American branch. It should be noted right away that this is a medium tank, so you should not expect incredible speeds or a huge thickness of armor from it - it has its own advantages, which, incidentally, each owner should learn to use properly. So, it was originally planned that the M60 tank would go to each of the thirty clans that took first positions, but then the list was expanded to fifty. In addition, it is worth noting that seven more teams that were able to cope with certain tasks during the campaign better than the rest also received these tanks. Well, the last gamers who could get this model are those participants who won prizes during the Third Campaign, since it was available for selection as a reward - but in this case there were other interesting options for choosing, so far not every participant decided to take the M60.
Tower
What makes the M60 tank stand out from the rest? The photo of this model may impress and surprise, but nevertheless it is the technical specifications, and not the appearance, that play the most important role. Therefore, it is worth considering carefully all the basic elements of a tank, but it’s worth starting with the fact that this premium model cannot be pumped like all ordinary tanks. That is, you cannot purchase another tower, a more powerful weapon, and so on - the combat unit of equipment is initially equipped as it will be further available in the game. So, the first thing you should pay attention to is the tower, it has impressive 18 centimeters of frontal armor for the medium tank and a little less on the sides and back - 76 and 50 millimeters, respectively. It’s worth noting that the visibility of this tower is also very good - as much as 420 meters, and at the same time its turning speed is 42 degrees per second, so that you can aim quickly and efficiently. But in order to better assess the capabilities of the model, it is also worth considering what kind of weapon the American M60 tank has. The photo convinces gamers that it will be extremely powerful for its class, but it's still worth checking out.
Gun
A gun is what determines the firepower of a tank. Naturally, you need to be able to use it wisely, develop strategies and so on, but in any case with weak weapons, you are unlikely to be able to defeat a much more powerful enemy, even if you are a genius of tactics. As for this model, here you get the opportunity to use a 105-mm gun with amazing penetration, reaching 33 centimeters, that is, you can even penetrate the frontal armor of some heavy models. At the same time, the damage from this weapon can reach almost five hundred health units, so the enemy will have a hard time if you can correctly use this firepower. And if you combine the above parameters with the fact that a shot can be fired every ten seconds with minimal dispersion and extremely fast mixing, then you will really be surprised at what the M60 Phoenix tank can be capable of. Naturally, you will also need serious skills in owning such a model, but if you have enough experience managing medium tanks, you can quickly get used to this model of equipment. Well, the lack of need for pumping is one of the big pluses that the M60 tank has. Deep modernization is what every owner of standard tanks needs to do to make their models competitive. But in this case, you do not need to do anything, so have fun.
Engine
Of course, a gun is a very important component of any tank, but it’s worthwhile to understand that a machine standing still should be destroyed very quickly, regardless of its armament. That is why this model is equipped with an excellent engine with a capacity of 750 horsepower and a relatively low probability of a fire. And most importantly - this engine allows the tank to accelerate to almost fifty kilometers per hour, which is a good indicator for an average tank.
Chassis
Naturally, do not forget about the chassis, which the M60 tank has in World of Tanks. It allows a combat unit to reach a mass of almost fifty tons, while not slowing down. As everyone knows perfectly well, the turning speed of the tank itself also depends on the chassis - this indicator in battle can turn out to be very important - no less important than the turning speed of the tower. And in this case, this figure is even higher than that of the tower - as much as 52 degrees per second.
Radio station
As for the radio station that is installed on board this tank, you can be absolutely calm - it has a very impressive range. You will transmit a signal and receive it at a distance of 750 meters, so that you can constantly be in touch with your teammates, thereby significantly increasing the effectiveness of your actions.
Pros and cons of the model
No one else had any questions about how to get the M60 tank in this game, since it is no longer issued. Now you also know how this model works, so it's time to take stock and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of this unit of technology. The main drawback of this tank is its too large size, because of which it can often become the main target of your opponent and easy prey due to not the most powerful armor on the sides and back. And, of course, 50 kilometers per hour is not the best indicator of speed for such a model. But all this can be compensated for by the correct use of good dynamics and excellent cross-country ability. In addition, your gun has excellent stabilization, which gives you the ability to conduct accurate shooting on the go, and to say that the damage per minute for this tank is one of the best in the game, and the review is generally the best, and at all don't have to.
