This tank was designed to be a next generation tank compared to the Estevez and Marsden I tanks, an
expectation that was let down by the appearance of BattleMechs and primitive Combat Vehicles that soon
followed. With slightly more speed and a heavy main gun, this tank was meant to defeat its older
brethren on the open field of battle. Though it was surpassed by newer technology, the production of
the T-60 continued, first as a second-line unit, then later for planetary militias and export to other nations.
Even though this tank was produced in large numbers and spread throughout the Inner Sphere and
Periphery, there are no known reports of T-60 vs T-60 battles. To date, only one example remains in
existence in a military museum.
