How to Fight: The T-62 Tank Capabilities and Countermeasures.
The T-62 Russian Tank was a formidable adversary against the Western Allies during the Cold War. It had great fire power and mobility, and was a lethal threat in large numbers. It was one of the main battle tanks during the Cold War era in which it was soon replaced by the T-72 Tank.
Despite being a formidable opponent to the Western Allies, there were vulnerabilities to the tank that can be exploited to ones advantage. This US Army training video that was made during the mid to late 1970s demonstrates the tanks strengths and weaknesses.
Know your enemy's weaknesses to utilize it for your advantage and success.

    Ghost Erik It’s the same reason why sports teams watch footage of the opposing team’s previous games. It’s meant as a means of study. Be it sports or war, you ALWAYS want to know the capabilities of who you face. It could even be off-season. If confrontation is suspected it’s better to be prepared than not. Just because any given military has these kinds of videos doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going on the attack; correlation isn’t causation. Try harder with calling out the US, child.

And if you are passionate about heavy weapons, then Soviet tanks are always very valuable collectibles, even, it is an effective self-defense weapon to protect the family. Believe me, Texas players can recover old Soviet tanks they bought from Eastern Europe, and use them well, because they are so easy to use.

A good gun depression helps a lot when trying to maintain a hull down position and still be able to engage. If you tanks can't bring its gun down very far...you have to expose yourself more. My reference to north germany in that regard(sry, didn't make that clear)was because that, and "Fulda gap" where the 2 main routes where a quick deployment of armour would have been an option.

    RoninTF2011 I know, the Soviet requirement was that the tanks be low because most of the terrain they would be fighting on is mostly flat and has small rises in the ground so being low makes you a smaller target and opens cover up to you were a taller tank would have it's turret exposed, there is always a trade off.

    Older tanks were still very capable machines as engineers and armor designers around the world did their jobs exceedingly well. We just have much more powerful and capable machines these days due to the frankly insane rate at which tank technology advanced during the Cold War, doesn't make the old tanks useless even if they're obsolete just not effective against modern armor and anti-armor weapons. Essentially if you're a low tech country that needs armor support you'll take whatever you can get and most functional tanks on the market will serve their purpose regardless if they're obsolete. As a wise man once said "a bad tank is better than no tank at all". In a modern context if properly modernized the T-62 would be a capable killer of older tanks (like variants of itself or Chieftains, M60s, Leopard 1s, and older tanks) and more lightly armored vehicles out to serious ranges, possibly greater than 1.5km (which while unimpressive for modern standards is still very useful if you don't have better vehicles). Against modern armor it's unfortunately hopeless from a frontal aspect as modern armor is designed to withstand much more potent threats than the 115mm could ever hope to be and their guns will tear the T-62 apart. Modern NATO tanks being armored to stop the common Russian 125mm and the modern Russian tanks being armored to resist the common NATO 120mm. It can be argued how well these tanks do so as we have little information on modern Russian armor performance against NATO 120mm ammunition save for old Iraqi T-72s which were demolished with ease at ranges out to 2.5km on average and even out to 4.5km at most during the Gulf War. The Abrams and Challenger 2 also proved to be immune to older 125mm ammunition at short range during the Gulf War but ammunition has advanced both severely and rapidly since then on both sides.

    People blast T-62 low gun depression but the upside is a much smaller, closer the ground turret. If you think about it, the advantage gained by a lower-profile tank in all terrain far outweighs the disadvantage of a lower gun depression only when the tank is uphill facing downhill.

    tank size rarely matter unless you're in close promity where an inch will make a difference of hitting or grazing. but in longer range skirmishes, which is the more probable scenario, that that extra few inches in turret size will not matter at all because if the enemy misses you, it's going to be by a few hundred feets. and if he hits you, it's not because of your tank's smaller size. not only that, turret height will not matter because shots will be coming towards you at an angle due to trajectory, so it will hit your tank whether you have a short or tall turret.

    Except all of those advantages are completely erased by the lack of gun depression. The T-62 and all follow on Soviet MBTs actually have to expose a far greater portion of the tank than any of its western counterparts. This means that an attacking T-62 (or any other Soviet MBT) will be exposed for a far greater period of time before it can get its gun on target.

    So now that we know that the entire Russian military would have been cut apart by even the forces we already had in not Europe but just the border with the USSR at the time how do you feel? I mean to be fair who would have thought that it wasn't optimism but the pure cold knowledge that they knew the Soviet forces didn't really stand a sliver of a chance against the NATO alliance, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not judging you it's just that I'm surprised it took until the war in Ukraine for us all to realize just how shit Russian equipment is, seriously tip of the spear T-80BVMs, T-72B3s and T-90s are getting absolutely shat on by not only modern ATGMs but even Legacy M72 LAWS and RPG-7s not to mention the countless vehicles that have been burned to a crisp by nothing more than Molotov cocktails. Can you imagine if the Russians had actually tried to break through the prepared defenses of the NATO alliance and had nothing better than T-62s!? Like Jesus the poor bastards would have gotten shattered like glass as soon as the TOW missiles started flying, not to mention the sheer absurdity of trying to supply the fuel and food necessary to keep over 10,000 tanks running while relaying on the entirely ineffective Soviet and Russian supply lines, on God bro! It would have been the definition of a one sided stomping by NATO even worse than the Gulf war, like legit bro it would have been such a one-sided fight it would have made saddam's generals look like fucking geniuses for lasting as long as they did.

    @Carnivorus The T-62 can defend but honestly in the area like the middle east where it may be hilly more often than between Germany to Russia, it would kind of fail since the M60 and Centurion had great gun depression so those two tanks could easily poke over and only show the strong-ish turrets and easily shoot down, or how the T-62 is more limited in the spots they defend. Though the only reason why the T-62 may be good in attack is just wave tactics, and of course you choose where you attack. Russian's were heavily influenced by WWII and adopted a lot of weapons to match that doctrine. T-62 was relatively cheaper than the other tanks. Crew comfort was a less of a priority. All in all the T-62 is capable but is designed for cheaper use. It can attack and defend and really depends on the commanders. Egypt however during this period, I never studied them, but as most middle eastern armies, commanders are not the best always and they tend to rely on more basic tactics. Though some do break that idea, I am talking majority.

    Of course this video shows that US has best tactics - otherwise they would not use them. That applies to every nation, which means in reality some things in this video may not work well in RL. Like for example during WW2 American training videos tough their soldiers how MG42 wastes ammo and is not as accurate. In reality, that did not matter.

    @TheRomanRuler "Of course this video shows that US has best tactics" Well, Russia's tactics back then were pretty much like described in this video. It was all about numbers and overwhelming the enemy because they had a far larger military that could afford to do that. Also, in real life they planned to use more tanks than is shown in this video. Western tactics were all about avoiding taking casualties while trying to slow down the enemy advance. Now, you might still be thinking that simply rushing the enemy is stupid, but then take in account that part of Russia's strategy was to use thousands of tactical nukes to destroy/suppress enemy concentrations (on top of using strategic nukes for strategic targets). The Russians in their plans thought NATO too would make wide use of nukes. In which case, we don't really know how things would've went. It would've been one giant clusterfuck.
