Hierdie bliksem het verseker kubaanse t34's en angolese t54's 'n skok gegee. Volgens verhale, het hulle 'n mite gebou op die slagveld deur as 'n Ratel deur die vyand verwoes is, dat die tiffies hulle met camo nets en tarps toegegooi het en so teruggesleep het basis toe, sodat die donders nie kon raai dat enige Ratel deur enige voertuig, uitgehaal kon word het in Angola nie. Dit is wat my pa my vertel het, hy was in 32 Battaljon. Ek is nie totaal seker oor al die feite nie, dis maar 'n storie wat vertel is aan my, nadat ek 'n paar avonture self in 'n Ratel gehad het. Seersekerlik die sterkste van ons Suid afrikaanse pantser waens, hulle loop nog sterk vandag. In die ooskaap is daar selfs 'n paar Buffels aan die gang, dit was letterlik ons bus slagveld toe in 2013, in die eerste War Games wat saam met Amerika gehou is vir 50 jaar in Grahamstad. Die Marines se monde het oopgehang toe ons met die Buffels uit die oefen terrein uit gekom het, al singende. Hulle monde het veral oopgehang toe ons met redelike ou, maar fantastiese toerusting, selfgemaak hier in Suid Afrika, videos wys wat hulle bewegings vir ons uitgebeeld het. Heeltyd gewonder waar Suid Afrika die nuwe Drone tegnologie kry.. Maar daai was alles afgeneem van die grond af.

Holy crap that’s awesome

If I may ask, how does a high profile better protect the crew from mines? Really thick armored plate on the bottom that needs extra room? Some sort of insulation that helps the crew's chance of survival by putting them further away from the blast than they would be were the vehicle lower? I've been led to understand mine protection standards involve a V shaped armor hull at the bottom to direct the blast out to the side instead of up into the vehicle but hadn't heard about a design necessitating a higher ride height/taller vehicle so I'm curious! =)

@@angryzergling7832 Probably a few reasons, I remember watching something about IED vehicle protection but I don't remember much of it. Things like the weight of the vehicle, where the center of mass is etc stop the vehicle from being flipped. The V shaped hull like you said is also one of the techniques. Another thing is placing spall liners on the inside at the bottom to catch shrapnel. Also I think the further from the blast, the less effective it is.

My dad told me a couple story's of his time in the border war. One stuck with me though, was when he was riding on top of a buffel and they drove over a mine, he went flying and landed on the road behind them and he said everyone inside survived. Luckily south Africans were a bunch of smart people back then and pioneered the v haul. He still has a scar on his knee from it. Much love to your dad. Tell him I said thank you for your service

​​@@angryzergling7832ost I can find on it "The Ratel possesses rear-mounted engine and fighting compartments, while its turret ring and driving compartment are located towards the front of the vehicle.[62] It has a long, box-shaped hull with slightly sloped vertical sides and rear.[4] The hull is of all-welded construction, with a maximum armour thickness of 20mm on the hull front.[4] Each Ratel hull is protected against 7.62×39mm armour-piercing ammunition at any angle; it is also capable of stopping 12.7×108mm armour-piercing ammunition on the frontal arc.[62] The bottom of the hull structure is blastproof and vee-shaped to deflect mine explosions away from the passengers and crew.[16] Ratels frequently detonated stacked anti-tank mines during the South African Border War with little injury to their occupants and minimal drive train damage.[3] On many occasions they were able to keep moving after basic field repairs.[3] Anti-tank mines common in Angola, such as the TMA-3, could destroy a Ratel's axles and occasionally damage its gearbox, but almost never penetrated its hull.[3]" also like most fighting vechials in the sadf and SANDF it had to have a water container, due to the fields it operated in having little to no water, basically just a large container full of water usually underneath the vechial between the wheels. Also crew "3 (commander, gunner, driver) + maximum 9 passengers"

M1128 at a distance and close would eat the ratel alive

@@cristobalalvarez5491 you recon. The Ratel 90 would kick butt.

And this was the 20mm Ratel performance against the M2A3 Bradly. (Embarrassing, right !!!). Imagine what the Ratel 90 did. The 90mm Ratel packed a punch and is highly maneuverable.

The Ratel anti-tank (missile pods). This was one sun of a gun. Russian T-72 tanks got there butts kicked. I would like to see you being at the wrong end of this vehicle.

@@marksingery1847 not at all I've used the m1128 and ratel and the ratel lacked firepower and speed a reserve has a better fighting chance against the m1128

P-51C-10 is one of my favourite planes to use at 4.0, it would be great to see a vid on it👍

Thats the beauty of the US

@@derlycordova6325 freedom but only if you have enough money. Sounds pretty shitty to me :‘D

As a Ratel 90 gunner during 84' Operation Askari with 61 Mech battalion, I can confirm this. Cahama and Cuvelai where the first times we encountered soviet T62s in a mobile role. Our squadron of 16 Ratel 90s took out at least that many tanks, without and loss in tank combat. The Ratel was quick and esy to repair in the field and had legendary reliability. Effective range on one tank was about 700kms. Top speed was around 100km/h over flat terrain. Ploughed through trees with a trunk diameter of about 10 inches. Tiffies could replace a blown engine in 30 minutes Literally loosen 6 bolts lift it out and drop replacement in. Axle replacement in an hour. Drop a new turret in in about an hour.

I miss when armour ment something. Back when taking out a heavy tank actually required skill. Still does at lower BRs with some heavy tanks except for when you suddenly run into a """""tank""""" from the 50's / 60's

It's so bad at the moment. All the tanks with heat protection are at a tier where nobody uses heat and all the tanks with heat fight ww2 tanks a early post war tanks. I would be fine putting light vehicles at higher brs where they struggle to pen things. Make them actually scout and flank.

@@MulletMatty no, put light vehicles at 1.0, because 1.0 can pen them too right?

Omg i had the sound off lmao didnt know he said that

Aml 90: atleast i don't use streoids

MFW my tires are bigger than your turret

It’s an Eland 90 turret actually; similar, but not the same.

While they can't give the hundreds of missing French vehicles they give all the French stuff to the british and germans

Yes

But actually no

@@ommsterlitz1805 This is an actual vehicle in service from the South African Army. Developed in the 1970's and 80's, it had a friendly hand in the design from Isreal (SECRETLY). So obviously due to the South African governments pertinent role as the worlds foremost racists and protanogists of white independence, it would feature a French element. They were the only ends to technology the developers could get, through the friendly help of Isreal. So in essence, this is British. By Warthunder standards.

Just a note, we actually do use the Ratel 20's which were called Command ratels, but they were without the 20's..We had 7.62's though, and take note of the sides where little 'windows' or rifle slots were inserted.. Gaijin would probably make that a premium vehicle one day, with 6 riflemen shooting 5.56mm R4 rifles through the sides, to give it more firepower and 'protection' on the battlefield.

I need it, Japan has a Howitzer in game so its not even like its a wrong class.
