The tanks in full metal jacket weren't quite the right tanks doing the right thing . The producers used m41 walker bulldog light tanks for the movie . By that time, the US marine corps tankers in Vietnam were using m48 pattons at the battle of Hue. Walker bulldogs do make a great stand-in, though 👍
"Tank" was basically a remake of "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came", with Tony Curtis and Brian Keith from 1970.
