20 to 25 mph seemed to be the top speed for an Army M48A3 Patton tank. The new M551 Sheridan tank seemed to roll at about 30+ mph. The Sheridan entered the US Army inventory in about 1968 and was fielded immediately in Vietnam in January 1969. Both diesel engines; but the Patton was constructed of ALL STEEL; while the Sheridan's hull was ALL ALUMINUM (but the turret and gun tube was steel). The Australian Centurion tank was comparable to the Patton in speed.
