M48A3 and M60A1

In this update, I want to share with you the Israeli M48A3 'Magach'-3 and the M60A1 'Magach'-6 tanks.

The American 'Patton' tanks were nicknamed 'Magach' in the IDF, after the ancient weapon of war, better known as Battering ram, 'Eyal Nuguch' in Hebrew, which was used to break through gates and walls.

The 'Magach' family had several versions over the years, the 'Magach' first version corresponds to the original M48 Patton.

The 'Magach'-3 was a development by the IDF to bring the IDF's 'Magach's to the level of the M48A3. The gun was upgraded to the Royal Ordnance L7 105mm gun. The Commander cupola, which was considered a nuisance among Israeli tank crews, was replaced with a low-profile Israeli turret without the M2 12.7mm. The engine was replaced with a 750 hp diesel engine, which provided a range of 465 kilometers and was less flammable.

The model and texture were created by Kloudwolf and illness88.

The 'Magach'-6 was the IDF name given to the M60 and M60A1. The main difference in the M60A1 compared to the M60 is the longer turret that allows storage of more shells available to the loader (21 vs. 8 lying shells).
