The M85 machine gun is mounted on the M60T as the commander's machine gun.
Can be fired only on automatic.
It can also penetrate thinner walls, meaning that you can neutralize shielded or covered enemy infantry.
It can also penetrate the bulletproof windshields of other light vehicles, killing infantry inside directly.
Armour calculation involves many factors that are not limited to simple base damage and penetration. The slope of the armor, its thickness, the angle of hit, all of that matter when the game engine decides if damage has been dealt to the target.
Prioritizing areas such as flat armor angles, turret, and rear areas, which are less effective against the .50 Cal.
Firing in short bursts is extremely effective in long-range engagements. The vehicle-mounted machine guns also overheat if the trigger is held down for too long, so firing in short bursts also lengthens the total firing time of the weapon.
Like all heavy machine guns, it features a long reload time. Conservation of ammunition will prove helpful to last through your ammunition belt instead of burning through it so that you do not have to reload at the wrong time.
