The M60A3 diverted from the M60A1 series by deleting the coincidence range finder and replacing it with a laser-rangefinder and digital ballistic computer.
Almost simultaneously, a thermographic sight was introduced and adopted, giving us the M60A3 (TTS).
What I learned today is this sight was also mounted in the M551A1 Sheridan light tank, giving us the M551A1 (TTS).
There are a couple of parallels in the upgrades of the M60 series and the Sheridans.
They change from IR to image intensification at the same time, then transition to thermal and laser rangefinding with them as well.
The level of detail for my GURPS game is getting finer all the time.
I know many of you don't care, but it's what I'm obsessing with right now.
