Nice! I need a picture of all the doodads in the M60A2 'Starship' that didn't ever/never worked. In my SPACE 1959 campaign(1946-1973 timeline), everything that didn't work in that era, does. |

I like how it has an adjustment for altitude that goes from – 2000m to 30,000m. Flying tanks indeed. Actually, it just seems to range from -200 to 3 000 m. Apparently not intended for fighting at the Himalayas. That said, it is a bit odd that the distances are given in m, while the crosswinds are in MPH. Then again, how the tankers were supposed to obtain the crosswind information – unless there was a small weather station hidden somewhere on the top of the turret. |

The M60A3 had a wind sensor mast on the top of the turret. |

A number of nations still use the M60. Save for the "Starship" A2, AFAIK, which was quite a cluster  based on the tales I heard from the "old timers" …  |
