![]() ![]() ![]() M48 is able to more effectively go hull down and bounce more shots with its turret, however it is not a good idea to stay exposed for too long as well placed shots and premium rounds can still go through your cupola. One of the main improvements of the M48 over the M46 is the stronger hull and turret armor. At 420m this can be taken above and beyond the 450m hard cap with Coated Optics, which will help negate enemy camouflage. The M48A1 Patton, together with the M60, currently has the best view range in game and should be played with this in mind. Frontal half of the hull is made out of very brittle ammo rack horrifying crew protection.Cupola is still viable target, and the turret itself still penetrable by premium shells or accurate high-pen standard shells.Large silhouette (larger than a heavy tank!), low camo, not easy to find proper cover.Lowest top speed of all the tier 10 mediums at 45 km/h, will have difficulty "cleaning up".Accuracy on the move is excellent, especially with a vertical stabilizer mounted.M68 gun has good DPM, penetration and alpha damage.Good gun depression coupled with tough turret front, can be a hard target when hull-down.This makes it suited for close to mid-range combat, darting in and out of cover or a crest, firing shots at the enemy before they can fire back. Furthermore, the gun depression is still satisfactory at 9 degrees, though not as effective as the M46 Patton due to its middle turret placement. However, it compensates for that with its reasonable amount of maneuverability and great traverse, at 50 degrees per second. In addition, the M48A1 is also a very large tank, even larger than the T110E5 heavy tank. It is also slightly slower than its predecessor, due to its heavier weight and weaker engine. While it is a clear improvement in firepower over the M46 Patton, the M48A1 will face opponents with equal or even superior survivability. The 105mm M68 is an extremely versatile weapon, with high penetration, damage, and rate-of-fire. Its armor is stronger than most mediums of its tiers and will deflect a surprising amount of shots from its peers if hull down. It possesses a smooth, egg-shaped hull and a curved turret with decent frontal thickness. |The M48A1 Patton is another example of a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none tank like its predecessors. ![]()
