The Holes Are Deep

You make GURPS stats for an M60, you end up making stats for the M48.

That leads to the M47, then the M46 then the M26...

I CAN QUIT WHENEVER I WANT!

Interestingly, there's still versions of the older Pattons in service!  Mostly armored recovery vehicles, but still.

Also interesting is the French putting a 105 into their M47s.

That L7 gun gets adopted by so many NATO nations, it's not even funny.

    Have you done the MBT-70? I know, never fielded, but since it's all about what could have been, what could have been if they (the US or Germany) actually fielded MBT-70s.

    If we're going after what-could-have-beens, what about the Super M60 that was proposed in 1987, with a new turret and Chobham armor. Or the M60-2000 proposed in 1999?

    Just curious as to what you think about these variants.

    I ran a Traveller campaign where we rotated gamemasters and once a retired scout used his scout ships shipboard pulse laser (for attacking starships) against a M48 with a 90mm attacking them.

    The argument if the 90mm could even damage a Scout ships hull (designed for dealing with space debris at high relative velocities) or if the armor of the scout turreted laser could damage that tank.

    GURPS answer please?
