Found this forum while looking for info on U.S.M.C Patton tanks in Vietnam for hist. novel I'm writing. If anyone saw a Patton stricken by an RPG anti-tank grenade. I'd like to know extent of damage. One of our dusters was turned to scrap iron by one but the Patton had much heavier armor.

All rounds were contact detonation tracers. Most beautiful thing you ever saw at night.

Dusters had twin 40MM Bofors autocannons on open top turret. M60 mounted on rt side of turret. What you saw further South was probably 5th Battalion.

Good article about armor in Vietnam but Captain Dye forgot to mention the M42A1 dusters of 1st BN 44th ARTY were U.S. Army, not U.S. Marines. I was gunner on track #131 - 1st Platoon, C BTRY based out of Camp Carroll, Nov. 66 to Oct. 67. We were attached to 3rd Marines.
