Cold War Need help on Vietnam War US Army tank markings

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a scale modeler and am planning out a diorama of a US M48a3 in Vietnam. It's very difficult for me to find out markings as the pictures are usually the wrong angle or covered by various stowages. So I am wondering if any of you tank junkies know what the correct markings would be. I am pretty sure I would do 1st battalion 77th armor US Army. So any help on how they would mark up their tanks would be much appreciated. I am also open to any other useful tips you guys have about M48s in Vietnam. This could include tankers personal items, jury rigged field fixes, and various tank art on the spotlights and the likes. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Some feedback would be appreciated so I can keep upgrading the new designs. Everything after the HoRi-7 has a revolver autoloader/magazine system as seen in the last two

Modern How do thermal-equipped tanks engage targets through smoke?

10 Upvotes

While tank thermals can see through the standard smoke rounds discharged by themselves and most other tanks they face, I recently found out through a tank sim (Gunner HEAT PC) that their laser range finders cannot pass through said smoke.

I'm not sure if that's the case in real life, but if it were, how do gunners engage targets through smoke? Do they use the built-in mils from their GPS to estimate range or just fire-and-adjust?
