The M60A3 was one of the first NATO tanks to use APFSDS, being produced from 1978. By this time, the Soviet's had improved their tank's composite armour arrays, but the 80-105-20 was still prevalant among satellite countries using variants of the T-72 Ural.
Until M735, 105mm guns were incapable of perforating the T-72 Ural from the front (except weak spots); by this point, the Soviets had been using vehicles with this armour array for over 10 years, showing just how overdue NATO APFSDS was.
A fall angle of 0.2° is included in the model. A simplified fibreglass model was used for the textolite, with the results against M735 matching Soviet reports of the time: [ Ссылка ]
