American Tank Fords a River
Members of the 5th Mechanical Division ford a river in a tank, Can Lo River, south of Con Thien, Vietnam. 1968
The M48A3 battle tank was the heaviest tank used in vietnam. It had a crew of four, was armed with a 90mm cannon with a coaxial .30-inch machine gun and an externally mounted .50-inch machine gun.

Compare the M48 to the M1 Abrams and see how far tank design has come

Better armor
Better view
bigger guns
How's that so far. I bet there is more room inside and I know the technology is better now. During OIF I saw a picture of a soldier in a tank and it looked like he was looking at a satellite image on a piece of paper. I wondered was he receiving images of his advance target?
