About this vehicle

The M47 Patton Improved was intended as the mass-produced M47 Patton II tank with enhanced armor and a stronger armament. Additional protection is provided by metal screens on the turret and hull, and a 105 mm gun was mounted to increase firepower. The driver's mate was removed from the crew, and an additional ammo rack took their place.
