im not sure if you react to movie/series tanks but if you do i recommend you react to girls und panzer, since its "very" realistic.

Something you didn't mention/ might have missed: the wheels seem to be free-floating supporting the tank with non-existent external wheel axels. Though that's less a problem of tank design and more a general modeling problem.

Tbh, I'm leaning more towards this being a further development of south african TTD and some other designed intended for "no strings attached" export. Reason? Player character can freely buy it. So I'm leaning into it being some joint venture that came after the failure of south african TTD(uses variation of Leo2 hull and some british and french components), british Vickers MBT Mk.10(also uses Leo2 based hull, but with british 120mm gun), brazilian Osorio(once again a mix of british and french components) and french AMX-40(as you've mentioned, french use this style of hatch. And they were fans of coaxial 20mm). A last ditch attempt to salvage all the aforementioned projects that in GTA universe finally bore some result. Even if 1,5 million feels like a laughably low price even for a used tank on a black market. The riveted armor feels like bolt on applique composite, possibly MEXAS as you can see it used for side skirts too. So the "vision ports" may actually be small maintenance hatches to allow limited access to space between original armor and applique one for electrical wiring(for example frontal one seems like ideal place for searchlight while side one is suspiciously close to smoke mortars). Or to clean it/fill it with something. Having MG armor on the side is okay as it looks like ammo for .50 HMG and it would be faster and easier to reach for this one... if only it was on the same side of the turret as commander's hatch. Reaching for those boxes would expose commander, but it is easier to get them from outside. If it's export intended design then having both turbine and diesel engine as options is quite a logical way to inflate the market viability. Seems like you got the wrong model delivered to you though. Which means that some dictator had also gotten a turbine one by accident in his batch of diesel ones:D We see blow out panels, but it also probably has autoloader since one man(with the help of hidden loyal henchman always hiding in the tank and playing with main gun) can use it to limited capacity. So bustle autoloader. A very FRENCH thing to have too. Also if it were to be using british 120mm, it would mean that the ammo it could be using could be HESH. Dual purpose, provides big explosion, but with comparably little amount of shrapnel since the shell has thin casing. So I believe that in GTA universe there is a joint international arms conglomerate working in South Africa, Brazil, UK and France among other places. Might also be used as a way to explain why names and looks of most guns are so different. They're either licensed variations of existing designs or straight up copies.

4:45 they are not spare tracks. I dont remember the name but i think its added to the tracks if you ride in a winter so it doesnt drift so much. Kinda like winter tires for a car.

I have an idea for a reaction on Just Cause 3's tanks, as they are pretty unique overall as far as video game tanks go. I haven't seen anything about Just Cause 4 but I will certainly look into it!

@@eta320 17:28 what’s the top speed? Sounds like it can haul! Also check out the khanjali. Looks super futuristic!

The jc3 tanks are really cool as one of the few wheeled tanks in "mainstream" games,even if it's probably for technical reasons

Reload speed on the other hand...... AHEM! Yeah....

​@@brianrigsby7900the kunjali looks like it's based on the pl-o1 polish tank is a 1/1 replica

this literally applies to most of gtav's vehicles and all guns from the game, especially the A-10 evokes that "almost right" feeling you mention that absolutely ruins the feel of it

i thought the exact same thing, though isn't the ttd just a stranger looking early leopard 2?

@@imlivinginyourceiling yea something like that, but the website does say the TDD got its design from the early centurion tanks

I looked it up. It's a little unnerving seeing a Rhino tank IRL.

@@mattevans4377 Ik

@@imlivinginyourceiling No, the TTD has a 105mm compared to the Leopards 120mm, TTD was also a prototype for a replacement for the Olifant Mk.2, the leopard is under review for replacement for the Olifant

Isn’t the of40 a copy of the leopard, I could be wrong

@@khristianboulton7123 Same concept, but visually different

I did mention the TTD in the video but to me, the headlights, the spare rubber feet on the front, the shape of the front hull, the angle of the cheeks, and the gunners sight remind me all of the leopard 2a4. I know people like to think it’s based of some kind of wacky South African prototype tank. But I personally see almost no major resemblance.

@@eta320 it's a monster of a tank in the end

The rhino being based of the TDD is highly unlikely just because not alot of people know about the TTD And no way in hell rockstar would put in the effort to research into tanks, I believe it's based on thr leopard 2a4 and Abrams just because it's a pretty well know tankz and they thought it looked kinda like a Abrams with the flat front turret cheeks

@@liamkurtyhnigov4064 he got that idea from PhlyDaily a WT KZfaqr who said the same thing. A simple google search will show you that rockstar themselves said it was based off of the Leopard 2A4

@@F-18Super uh no I didn't get it from phlee. It's design just looked more like the TDD

Do you mean Apocalypse?

@@overcookedcorn1992 depends on which game were talking about as in the first red alert the Russians use as there main battle tank the heavy tank as it's called.

@@EmisariuszKukielka203 The Heavy Tank in RA1 is only identified as the Heavy Tank, but the Soviets DO get access to the Mammoth Tank though (And yes, it IS the called the Mammoth Tank in RA1). Meanwhile the Soviet tanks in RA2 are the Rhino and the Apocalypse.

Yeah, the whole vibe of this tank screams "for national guard/domestic use only" to me. It's definitely not meant for tank fighting overseas, rather for supporting infantry with how it's designed + the external turret ammo boxes being possibly used to refill an infantry squad low on ammunition. It's literally just a modern IJA-era tank, in terms of design philosophy + case use.

Yes, you did, my good sir. I see you are a man of quality! His channel does have a few videos on foxhole

I’m gonna make a guess I could be super wrong, but I think the Khanjali has the chassis of a Russian tank, maybe T-90? (If that is an actual tank I’m an aviation expert excuse my mistakes)

@@Stryker_1 no, the Khanjali is entirely based on the Polish PL-01 'stealth' tank concept. It's not even a real production tank, it was based entirely off a concept model.

@@MikoyanGurevichMiG21 cardboard slapped on CV90 basically

I reference the TDD in the video…

Rockstar themselves said it was based off of the 2A4 and a simple google search would show you it’s a 1:1 recreation with rockstars style of copyright parody.

I do somewhat incorrectly go by what they were potentially called back in WWII. As there were still plenty of tanks that didn’t have their guides run through the center of a pair of road wheels (best immediate example is the Sherman). I know the US military at the time did differentiate between a “center guide track” and one in which the guides lay on the edges. Nowadays pretty much the whole world goes for center guided tracks so it’s the only term used anymore.

The tank has a VERY fast reload, even for an autoloader. Which usually take 5-6 seconds, the Rhino was ready to fire another shot after about 2.5-3 seconds, which is insane. Another piece of that which I plan to bring up with my next tank reaction is the fact that we are operating this tank with just one man, so for this tank to function it has to be using an auto loader. But that opens up a whole can of worms on the US and western experimentation with auto loaders and we’d be here for hours lol. As for the leopard. I’m sure that at the time, their concerns were valid with the economics of the tank, but I wish I had more detailed notes on the trials themselves. Could there have been some American “it must be made here” pride? Probably, but then again, almost every nation is guilty of that to some degree. Plus military contracts are a good boost for the economy. I’m sure they had other reasons beyond “it’s too expensive” but again, I’d need to look more deeply at the reports.

@@eta320 I'm pretty sure that here in Germany we were too prideful when we developed the Tiger helicopters together with France. Creating jobs as you said is also pretty important but damn, the development of that helicopter wasted so much tax money. It's insane. The government should have just bought Apaches instead which was even discussed. It would have been a way better platform. The german version of the helicopter doesn't even carry a machine gun because of some fancy computer blocking the space. So if you want to support your ground troops against some militia mfs in Mali you have to fire a rocket that is worth as much as a middle class car I guess hahahaha Or you just don't help them in the first place and run to your big bro USA for help. That one never gets old xd

The RPG uses multiple types of warheads. I think the one in GTA V resembles HE more than HEAT
