It's out folks...
To all the Tank lovers and users...
We're back with another episode of Total Recoil with our very own host Israel, having a chit chat with our special tank commander Chellby Bragg.
Some he played with and some he drove with... tune in to check out more about the design of Tanks and War Thunder ...

War Thunder is based around combined arms battles on air, land, and sea. According to the game's creative director Kirill Yudintsev, it is the only game that encompasses all three of these experiences in one gameplay session.
Vehicles range from pre-World War I naval vessels, from the interwar period and the Spanish Civil War for tanks and aircraft to the Iraq war and beyond, with an emphasis on World War II as well as an emphasis on the Vietnam War and the Cold War.
Players can control aircraft, ground vehicles, and warships from the United States, Germany, Russia, Britain, and Japan, as well as nations with smaller militaries or less prominence in conflicts, such as Italy, France, China, Sweden, and Israel.

Both tanks were designed to allow a greater standardisation and compatibility within NATO. Also, not every "Panzer" is a Tiger. The Panzer IV did NOT have thick armor.

Ho-Ri was designed to be a defensive/bunker buster variant, inspired by the German Ferdinand, as the allies mostly used M4, or lighter M5 Stuart or M3 or the LVT, the Ho-Ri is able to puncture vehicles and even be used a naval deterrence. If it was used during 1945, it would still prove deadly to ground vehicles as the U.S mostly produced M4 short 75mm with a decent amount of the long 76mm.

@thebiggeststarwarsfan6635 Жыл бұрын

Couple of things: -ERA (explosive reactive armor) on the T-72 is not meant to inverse the force of a high explosive round. It detonates itself on impact to trigger the round prematurely and stop it from hitting the armor plate. -APFSDS (sabot round) is not meant to create a “vacuum” to suck elements out. Is is made like that to maximize penetration of armor and minimize the ballistic curve. -The Panzer IV F2 is NOT a Tiger I. The Panzer VI Tiger was armed with an 88 milimeter gun, and the Panzer IV was armed with a 75mm gun. -The Italian Dardo has a different shape, smaller gun and missile launchers because it is not a tank. It is and Infantry Fighting Vehicle or IFV. Most IFVs are not armed with tank-caliber guns, and are meant to destroy light armored targets like APCs, armored trucks and other IFVs.

There was a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes falsehoods in this video. Calling the Panzer IV a Tiger, Saying the leopard 2A6 had "flares" when they were smoke dischargers, saying the Leopard stole their gun from the US (The Abrams gun is actually a licensed copy of the older German L/44 gun) Calling the ATGM mounts on the Italian IFV "Missile launchers" and saying that sabot rounds create "black holes" which is physically impossible. APFSDS "Sabot rounds" have a tungsten penetrator (he got that correct) but the mechanism in which it damages a tank is by "spalling" in the vehicle. The projectile begins to break apart when hitting a tanks armor, and sends metal shards throughout the crew compartment, killing the crew. This is just nitpicking now, but the Tunguska doesn't have machine guns, it has auto cannons. A caliber less than 20mm is considered a machine gun, whereas 20mm and over is a cannon. I'm sure Mr. Chelby knows how to command a tank, but knowing how to operate a car doesn't mean you're a mechanic. I have respect for these individuals but I think it's better to let military historians evaluate and discuss topics involving historical equipment as well as the functions of modern armor and their development.

That thing with sabot round acting like a "small black hole" and sucking everything out of the tank was complete nonsense. It doesn't suck anything due to a very insignificant pressure difference between the inside of a tank and its surroundings. What APFSDS (Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot) actually does is punching a hole and pushing fragments of armor inside of a crew compartment. Those moving fragments of armor and APFSDS projectile due to their high speed and temperature act like shrapnel and do a significant amount of damage to the crew and tank's internal equipment. To everyone willing to know more about the physics of tank projectiles just search on YT smth like "tank shell simulation". That is a second appearance of this tank crewman on that channel, as I recall, and it's surprising how little he knows about tank physics and mechanics. I remember in a squad video he was saying smth about Abrams tank engine (which is a Gas Turbine engine) being something like a jet engine, which is just painfully wrong.

Other design features of the vehicle included hydraulic suspension, to tilt the tank for better gun depression, and the driver being in the turret not the hull. The driver in the turret was in his own isolated section of the turret that rotated with the hull so as to avoid confusing the driver as to where the tank was going.

Unlike standard tank design, the Merkava has the engine in the front and it acts as another layer of protection for the crew. The extra space in the rear can be used to carry more ammo, or a six man infantry squad. It has also been used to collect and transport casualties. Something reassuring about being in an "ambulance" that shoots back, am I right? I've read that the Abrams was actually designed to be used in Europe against the Soviets because they were the "big bad" at the time. Though, its use in the Middle East over the last twenty years probably has changed its development path toward that theater of operations.

@wolkrieth2394 2 жыл бұрын

When you mentioned the Panzer, more particularly the Panzer IV, you mentioned that it was terrifying due to it's near impenetrable armor. The Panzers were different, as separate models and designs were used, with the Tiger and Panther taking most of the spotlight, while the Panzer IV was the most produced. Initially the Panzer IIs and Is weren't much more then training vehicles, but as World War Two began and progressed they moved into larger, heavier more powerful tanks. The Panzer III took over the role as the dominating Anti-Tank vehicle of Germany, however the Panzer IV was not used as an Anti-Tank vehicle. Rather, the Panzer IV, specifically the earlier models such as the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. C were more or less infantry support vehicles, carrying large, yet low velocity 75 Millimeter cannons. The Panzer III did it's job relatively well, until the Germans invaded the USSR and encountered the fabled T-34. The T-34 carried thick side and rear armor, nullifying the benefits of flanking attacks, as the Panzer III's gun, a relatively meek 50 MM cannon, was unable to penetrate the Soviet armor at ranges of 150-300 Meters. The Panzer III's small size meant it couldn't mount a larger turret, and thus a larger gun. The Panzer IV then took over the role as the primary anti-Tank weapon of the German Panzer Armee. Going from the Panzer III's 50 Millimeter Cannon and fifty millimeter armor to the Panzer IV's 75 Millimeter cannon and 50-80 MM of armor was helpful but didn't result in a superior tank to the T-34. The Tiger and Panther, the ones that the Allied Shermans, Cromwell's, and Fireflies were nervous about were rare but also deadly. The Tiger was far more menacing to fight then the Pz. IV, with over 150 MM of armor, an 88 Millimeter cannon, and often legendary crews, the Tiger was sometimes considered invincible, but the Panzer IV hardly ever earned that.

The first tank, which is the MBT-70, was a collaborative project between the United States and Germany during the Cold War. The MBT-70 utilizes a 152mm gun/launcher, designated XM150E5. The XM150E5 was capable of firing APFSDS, HEAT, and as a launcher, was capable of firing the MGM-51 missiles that the M551 Sheridan used. Alongside this, the tank also had a turret Rh202 20mm autocannon and a 7.62 MG. The KPz-70, which was the German equivalent, shared a lot of similarities, however this vehicle had a different engine in it. The MBT-70 featured a three man crew, which was a Driver, Gunner, and Commander, and had an automatic loading mechanism as opposed to a manual loader. After the program was initially cancelled, America attempted to revitalize it with the XM-803. This however went nowhere, and Germany moved on with lessons learned from their own program to create the Leopard 2, and America moved on with lessons learned to begin the XM-1 program, which would lead to the M1 Abrams.

On the other hand, the Abrams is one of the biggest, most spacious MBTs, allowing better future modifications. Every time I see an American calling something bigger/ better, it makes me laugh- They literally have a much bigger or better version of it, they just don’t know yet.

L/44 or L/55 barrel on abrams and L/55 barrel on Leopard 2A6 edit: 14:45 those circles are the holes for the radiator 15:01 those aren't flares those are smoke pods, there's no need for 16× XXXL countermeasures on a tank

Maybe XXXL countermeasures for Spikes? 😂 (Although IR Smokescreens already do that)

Been playing War Thunder for 10 years. It's definitely as real as it gets as far as combined arms combat in video games. I hope they add infantry someday though as it would open up all sorts of possibilities for gameplay.

They have enlisted. They aint gonna add inf in wt because it would be trash imo

@@Smokey348 While I too think that it would be a bad idea to add infantry in War Thunder, they created enlisted to prove that they were capable of getting the infantry and vehicle mechanic together. Now I don't think that they have disclosed of if it's one of their project to bring some type of infantry other than the already existing AI infantry but it wouldn't really fit other than to "spot" people.

I already said it in the last video with this guy.. no the Abrams has no fking jet engine and especialy not the same as the one in the Apache. I dont know what they are teaching tankers in the US army but the Abrams has a gas turbine wich is a huge differnce and its especialy not a damn helicopter engine... also nice how he treats the Merkava as if its the only tanmk that can elevate its gun to a lower degree, sounds very educated.

"That was a scary tank. It's armor was so thick." As a German Army main, my Pz. IV felt like wet tissue paper compared to most US and Russian tanks of the same BR. Even the Churchill had a big enough gun to pen.

Something interesting I've learned from playing war thunder is you can use AA guns to combat jets helicopters and tanks would have been interesting to see some use of the AA guns Like m134 AA gun for example

MBT-70 was the development plan West Germany and the USA worked on (germans called it the KPz-70) it had a weird system where ATGMs and regular shells would be shot through the barrel. It was basically one of the prototype Abrams that also evolved into the Leopard tanks

The first tank called the MBT 70 was a prototype to become the MBT for the US, but it was scrapped and then the program for M1 Abrams was actually based off the MBT 70

Fun fact: When the MBT-70 was undergoing production.. there was 2 sides of the name.. the US called it the MBT-70.. and the germans called it KampfPanzer 70

Yea but still slightly even used different parts. So it's not only different names for the same tank. For example Both could use usual shaped charged warhead (HEAT) and APSDF (APCR) shells, but the american one could also use ATGM (Misiles) while the german one couldn't but could use pure HE. Also the german used to test one 1100 HP engine with 2 turbocharger which was still a little bit faster in acceleration and max speed. It's weird, the american used to test 2 smaller engines which actually had 1500HP- means 3000HP, it was more powerful but still slower. Dunno why is that.. Anyway, another things like tracks and other small things on the same frame were the difference.

@@KamichamaTechstarify From what i know on the Kpfz 70 is the shells it could use were APCR (APFSDS or that round you said) HEAT/ATGM and normal HE
