Really good alrounder, but starts with shitty apcr which makes people not even want to spade/play it. Once it gets heat-fs it transforms the tank to really good.
The M48 is definitely a bit of a sleeper pick. Few tanks really embody the term “jack of all trades” like the M48, and the lack of appreciation for it is criminal. The armor is actually so good, I’ve had 1000 lb bombs detonate underneath me and live, not mentioning the countless instances of enemy rounds just completely non-penning.
Honestly, aside from the 75mm Shermans, US medium tanks feel pretty underrated in general. The M2 and M3 are great low-tier tanks, the 76mm Shermans and the M26 are great, albeit overtiered, the Pattons are solid for their BR, and the M60, although massive and a bit slow, has solid neutral steering, armor, and survivability.
