	M47 Patton
		The M47 Patton was an intermediate solution basically incorporating the M46 hull and a newly shaped turret originally designed for the T42 heavy tank that did not enter service at all.
		The M47 was widely used by the european NATO countries forming the first modern tank forces in Belgium, France, Germany and Austria.
		The Jordanian M47, being used in the West Bank territories were no match against the IDF during the 1967 Six-day war, however many M47 were lost mostly due to IAF air superiority.

	The Patton Tank M47
		This group devised an integrated program of tactics, organization and a proposed family of tanks to replace the corresponding tanks available at the end of World War II.
		The rebuilt M-26 Heavy Tank had become the M-46 or Patton Tank by the substitution of a new engine and transmission but was considered only an interim vehicle.
		The new designs were known respectively as the T-41 Light, the T-42 Medium, and the T-43 Heavy Tanks, all to be equipped with the new engines and transmissions.

	Patton tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M46, M47, M48 and M60 Patton were the U.S army's principal main battle tanks of the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
		The model was named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle.
		The Pattons had a better outing in the Battle of Chawinda where it took out many Indian tanks, and indeed they were used with success by 25th Cavalry during its famous stand on the first day of that Battle[1].

	M47 Patton
		The M47 was essentially an M46 fitted with the turret from the T42 tank prototype, and was intended to be an interim design until the 90mm gun tank M48 could be produced.
		The turret was slightly elliptical with a long bustle or rear turret bulge which acted as a counterweight to the gun, and housed the radio and a ventilator.
		The M47 was widely used by European NATO countries forming the first modern tank forces in Belgium, France, and Austria.

	Patton tank (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The latest version of the Patton was the M60A3 variant that entered service in 1978 two years prior to the introduction of the M1 Abrams that replaced it over a ten year period (Some M48A5 models also served alongside them both as well into the 80s).
		The M47 was used by the Turkish Army, along with M48's, in the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in July and August 1974., with an estimated 200 or more Patton tanks involved in the action.
		In the film "Patton", again, the German tanks are actually M48 Patton tanks, the same type that were used in the Vietnam War nearly two decades later, while the US Army in the "Patton" film, are using the US M41 Walker Bulldogs, which were used by the ARVN (South Vietnamese Army) during the Vietnam War.

		The Pattons were visible to Indian recoilless rifle and tank crews who could see the swaying of the cane as the enemy approached and the upperworks of the Pattons' turrets.
		Much attention has been paid to the supposed advantages of the Centurion over the Patton in these encounters, ignoring the fact that the majority of Patton causalities were caused by recoilless rifles, artillery and anti-tank guns, and that a third of the Pattons lost were simply abandoned due to lack of fuel and ammunition.

		Developed from the M47 "General Patton" tank, the M48 was the mainstay of the US Army and Marines in Vietnam.

		This side view of the M47 Patton illustrates the large turret bustle, and the ventilator dome can be seen atop the rear of the turret.
		The bore evacuator is just behind the cylindrical blast deflector on the 90mm gun M36, and the right "eye" of the M12 stereoscopic rangefinder is visible just ahead of the commander's cupola on the turret side.
		However, this visualization process is difficult for a percentage of the population, and this type of rangefinder was replaced on the M48A2C tank with a more user-friendly coincidence type.

		Much attention is given to the performance of the Patton in combat - detailed accounts are given of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan campaign and the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
		The book provides a comprehensive view of the M47 and M48 Patton tanks, combining extremely detailed technical information with a good account of the vehicle's performance and development under numerous flags during its long period of service.

	Tanknet -> First medium tank used by Bundeswehr?
		I have used neither the M47 nor the M48 but if actual useres say that the M48 was easier to use and more reliable, then I would conclude that there were some detail improvements made from the M47 to the M48.
		One of the positive sides of M47 was that ammo load was good (71 round, 79 after removal of hull gunner) and good variety of ammo.
		One negative aspect of the M47 was that the gunner had to operate the stereo RF and it amounted to an overload, much improved in the M48, and the coincidence RF was introduced in the M48A3/M60.

		The M-48A3 was the main battle tank of M Company, 3rd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment when I served with regiment in 1968.
		The Patton Tank was fast, maneuverable and provided the regiment with a formidable medium tank weapon against the North Vietnamese (NVA) enemy forces and the Viet Cong.
		Because of the unlikelyness of encountering *NVA (North Vietnamese Army) tanks, the M-48 was issued too few rounds of HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) or AP (Armor-Piercing) rounds to complete the destruction of enemy vehicles.

	M 47 foto pag 1
		In questa immagine cortesemente inviatami da Luigi Iacomino e riprodotta da una cartolina dei primi anni '50, si vede uno dei primi M47 consegnati all'Esercito ed ancora caratterizzati dalla presenza del quinto uomo d'equipaggio (il mitragliere di scafo avente anche funzioni di assistente al pilota) e della relativa mitragliatrice da 7,65.
		Il primo monostadio, identico a quello del cannone dell'M26A1 ed M46, venne ben presto sostituito da quello a forma cilindrica ed infine da uno a T. In questa foto d'archivio un M47 impegnato nelle manovre in un bosco.
		Fino a qualche anno fa la Brigata Corazzata "Ariete" conservava questo M47 in perfette condizioni di marcia e pronto per sfilare nelle varie manifestazioni.

		Back in the olden days, Italeri had a fine reputation based largely on several kits such as their Leopard 1A4, M13/40 and M47.
		I have always hoped for a set dedicated to the M47, and have been pestering Eduard on and off regarding this subject for several years.
		Italeri also has a deserved reputation for re-releasing kits every few years, so if you don’t have an M47 be patient.

		Instead of receiving the M47 Patton (a training centre was already established in Belgium to train Belgian, Dutch and Danish instructors) Denmark received the M4A3 Sherman for training.
		Due to the outbreak of the Korean war the M47 Patton was in short supply, so Denmark and the Netherlands received the Centurion under the MDAP.
		Because the M47 Patton was in short supply, Denmark received the Centurion from 1953 onwards.
