…the M60A1.

It was 52 tons with a 105mm main gun - just like the one on this prototype! Don’t underestimate this in tank to tank. It depends on how well armored it is, its weight - and all the neat things that make it deadly fast and accurate.

Note: The first Abrams’ had the same 105mm main gun, now upgraded to 120mm.
