The American had developed a version of this gun designated the ''T254'', tested in the [[T95E1|T95E5 medium tank]], that used the same calibre and ammunition, but the gun tubes were not interchangeable with the X15E8. This was later developed into the ''T254E2'' which made the tube interchangeable with the British gun, though differed with a concentric bore evacuator compared to the British eccentric evacuator (slightly raised above the gun tube) which allowed greater gun depression over the rear engine deck. Another difference in the two guns was that the British breech block moved horizontally, while the American breech block moved vertically. During this development, Ordnance debated whether to move forward with the 105 mm or a lightened 120 mm T123E6 gun based on the [[M103]]'s [[M58 (120 mm)|120 mm M58 gun]]. However, the 105 mm was eventually chosen in accounting for the 120 mm's two-piece ammunition construction restricting the rate of fire. Ultimately, the American T254E2 with the British X15E8's gun tube and eccentric bore evacuator design was chosen as the basis of the XM60's gun. British-made gun tubes would be used until American-manufactured gun tubes could achieve similar accuracy specifications.

Description
The 105 mm M68 is an American tank cannon that saw widespread use among American armoured fighting vehicles during the Cold War. Based off the British 105 mm L7 gun, the 105 mm M68 shares many characteristics as the British counterpart such as the access to the HESH (High-Explosive Squash-Head) ammunition.
As the main armament of the many M60 variants and the early M1 Abrams tanks, players will become intimately familiar with the 105 mm M68 gun whether from the firing or receiving end of the tanks.

Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

History
Following the development and experience with the M48 Patton III tank, the United States recognized that the next step towards tank modernization included a greater firepower advantage than the 90 mm calibre used so far since the M26 Pershing tank. As such, when the Ordnance Tank Automotive Command (OTAC) developed the XM60 weapon system on 04 June 1958 to fulfill the US Army's desire for an interim tank prior to the fielding of their ideal main battle tank, a new tank gun was prioritized as one of the upgrades over the M48 tank.[1]
A USMC M60A1 with its 105 mm M68 cannon. The eccentric bore evacuator design can be distinguished, being slightly higher than the gun's bore axis.
Comparative evaluations for a new tank gun began in October 1958, with one highly favorable British 105 mm gun designated the X15E8, which was also referred to as the "Ex 20 pounder" as it was derived from that gun design (and would later be more well known as the L7 gun). The American had developed a version of this gun designated the T254, tested in the T95E5 medium tank, that used the same calibre and ammunition, but the gun tubes were not interchangeable with the X15E8. This was later developed into the T254E2 which made the tube interchangeable with the British gun, though differed with a concentric bore evacuator compared to the British eccentric evacuator (slightly raised above the gun tube) which allowed greater gun depression over the rear engine deck. Another difference in the two guns was that the British breech block moved horizontally, while the American breech block moved vertically. During this development, Ordnance debated whether to move forward with the 105 mm or a lightened 120 mm T123E6 gun based on the M103's 120 mm M58 gun. However, the 105 mm was eventually chosen in accounting for the 120 mm's two-piece ammunition construction restricting the rate of fire. Ultimately, the American T254E2 with the British X15E8's gun tube and eccentric bore evacuator design was chosen as the basis of the XM60's gun. British-made gun tubes would be used until American-manufactured gun tubes could achieve similar accuracy specifications. This 105 mm gun would be standardized as the 105 mm gun M68.[1][2]
The 105 mm M68 would see field service the same year the XM60 was adopted on 16 March 1959 as the 105 mm gun full-tracked combat tank M60.[3] It was mounted inside the tank via mount M116 in the M60 and mount M140 in subsequent M60A1 and M60A3.[4] When the M48 tanks were upgraded to mount the 105 mm M68, it did so within a modified mount M87 originally for the 90 mm M41 cannon.[2]
Although only intended as an "alternative armament system" due to its immediate availability compared to the upcoming developed weaponry,[5] the 105 mm M68 remained the primary American tank armament for the majority of the Cold War duration due to the technical difficulties and failures of the US Army's Shillelagh gun/launcher systems. The 105 mm M68 stayed with gradual upgrades such as improving the gun tube wear life with additives in the 105 mm propellant charges.[6] The next version of the M68, the M68A1 only differed in minor details and with a mirror for a muzzle reference system. Even when replaced by the 120 mm M256 as the primary tank armament, the M68 and its variants are still used mounted in vehicles in reserve and foreign service, or experimental versions such as the M68A1E8 on the M1128 Mobile Gun System.
