M60A2-- basically any of the Pattons
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

No problem. The G3 CSM (who retired last year) and I were talking about the M48A5 and no one around us thought either of us were old enough to have crewed an M48. They thought you had to have been a Vietnam vet to have crewed one last.


What about the gasser M48s? Did anyone here ever crew one of them? My (very limited) actual experience was on the M48A1s of the VMI tanker platoon in '72-'73.


Bob,
Sorry, I buggered your post a bit by clicking "edit" instead of "quote" inadvertantly...I think I more-or-less restored it. To answer your question:

AIT at Knox...hadda' be one of the last classes on 'em, by my reckoning. This was in summer of '71. Never set foot on one again until back from RVN at the Armor Board when we used one as a test mule for some obscure project. Don't even recall what we were testing on it now, but it wouldn't have been specific to the A2 since it was at least '72 when this took place.

Okay, turning this into "your AFV experience" thread. My extremely small experience is the following:

1) Driving a LAV III around the DDGM (now GDLS-Canada) test track in London, Ontario in 2000.
2) Riding in the SIKA Future Scout Cavalry System vehicle at Lockheed Martin's facility in Dallas TX in 2003.
3) Riding in a UDLP M113 with rubber tracks around a parking lot at Fort Knox during the Platform Performance Demonstration in 1999.

I guess thats it... That was all when I was a reporter for Defense Daily. The guy who preceded me as Army reporter got to fire the main gun of an M1A2 Abrams SEP on the target range at APG <sigh>... I kept waiting for that Stryker MGS opportunity, but it never happened. Then again, I guess the Stryker Brigades are still waiting on their MGS too...

Bob,
Sorry, I buggered your post a bit by clicking "edit" instead of "quote" inadvertantly...I think I more-or-less restored it. To answer your question:

AIT at Knox...hadda' be one of the last classes on 'em, by my reckoning. This was in summer of '71. Never set foot on one again until back from RVN at the Armor Board when we used one as a test mule for some obscure project. Don't even recall what we were testing on it now, but it wouldn't have been specific to the A2 since it was at least '72 when this took place.


NBD (No Big Deal) Since you had some experience on both versions did you notice any difference in performance (other than you had to refuel the gasser 3 times as often) speed, acceleration, etc? Just curious

Bob,
Well, I never served on the A3 so no basis of comparison on M48 types. When I returned from overseas, everything we did was on M60A1's, Sheridan's, or the M60A2 test...save for the one unspecified forgotten project we used an M48A2 for. And I hated refueling it (something about pumping gasoline in the vicinty of a hot engine just doesn't set well with me).

I was a 19 Juliet, and the closest we came to indirect fire was the range card engagement. However, given the 152mm conventional round's trajectory, you could say it was darned close to being indirect. Wink

No, that looks to me like an M48 hull with a prototype turret for the M81 Shillelagh system. Either a test mule or a "frankentank".
