[実車解説]
M60A2 used the 152mm gun-launcher originally intended for the joint US-West German MBT70/K.Pz.70 project. The M162 gun-launcher fired the MGM-51 Shillelagh missile, also used by the M551 Sheridan. A new turret was designed, and placed on both M60 and M60A1 hulls. This turret had a narrow cross-section, and the commander sat well to the rear. The gunner and loader each had hatches in the turret sides. Late-production M60A2s were built without bore evacuators, since they used the closed-breech scavenging system (CBSS), which used compressed air to blow any remnants of the combustible ammunition case out of the gun-launcher before the breech was opened. In M60A2, the CBSS was located below the engine exhaust louvres in the hull rear, and this made a distinctive bulge below the exhaust louvres. Due to the complexity of the fire control system and missile guidance hardware, M60A2 was sometimes derisively known as "Starship."
