On the field-terrain all they was similar mobility, - 12-15 km/h. Ferdinand had electrotransmission

They probably should have used this as a portable bunker really, just drive there and wait! Maybe they could dig a hole and burry the tank in there with concrete and remove engines and stuff and make it a literal cannon bunker, they did something like this with old tanks and panther turrets, they construct a bunker underground and used the turret as a cannon. This was a tactic in berlin's last stand but usualy they did this with old and useless tanks.

There are 3 different modes the transmission/engines operate in. 1st is for the initial acceleration and climbing steep hills, 2nd for continued acceleration to get you to third as well as on rough terrain, and 3rd is simply for most of your driving. Running in 3rd is generally what you want to do, but doing such off road gives you about 10-11km/h at best. You can shove it back down into 2nd or even 1st to get it to speed again, however, this works the engines at full power. I decided to try it off road in a mix of 1st and 2nd to see how long it would last. About 8-10 minutes later and the driver and radio operators compartment was filling with smoke from the engines and smoke was pouring out the engine compartment up top. You CAN drive for quite a while, but if you want to, you're not going anywhere fast. You can use 1st and 2nd, but I'd consider them combat gears where you move a bit, stop, fire a bit, move again, and repeat or you will fry the engines and transmission. Took 10 minutes to get the engines to a reasonable state where I could move without it sounding like it was powered by cluster of dying cats.

Actually the Ferdi was more reliable than the tiger 1 and 2 due to its electric drive.

BRealistic you ever heard of a joke?

@@OumuamuaOumuamua That joke has been repeated so much that people have started to believe it.

John Highway yeah its sad, tho the ferdi was actually underpowered irl

You are right! Unfortunately it doesn't have the popularity it deserves. Not yet.

@@nickfilippos3340 yet* (it will im sure)

Thanks

Thing was a sniper against Russian tanks. The ones that worked in Kursk supposedly had like 25 to 1 kill ratio.

​@@corylemons7242 more like a 30 to 0

This is a dlc or extension for il-2 sturmovik, now is early acces in sturmovik website

for the Germans atleast, it was arguably the best tank killer they had. 10:1 kill ratio

I think you got the types mixed up here... The best tank killer was in WWII the Sturmgeschütz! Better than Panther, Tiger and the rest...

@@traxel14 By Kill Ratio the Porsche Ferdinand/Elephant can’t be battled in the title. 89 Ferdinands were sent to the eastern front in tank hunter battalions, the Heeres Panzerjäger Abteilung 653 and 654. They were use to kill T-34 at FIVE! kilometers with ratio Kill:Loss of 10:1. The Ferdinands destroyed 320 T-34’s in Kursk at the loss of only 13 Panzerjägers. Conclusion, by Tanks destroyed per unit, the ferdinand was the most lethal of the war.

@@dedfingord33 cool

@@dedfingord33 I think the kill ratio is about correct, but they lost more Ferdinands than 13, most were to mechanical failures and mines. About 94 sent to Kursk/Orel battles, about half were destroyed. Of all tank destroyer numbers of tank kills, the Stug IIIs/IVs had more, over 20,000 allied vehicles were destroyed. Information is from Combat History of the Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 653 by Karlheinz Munch except the Stug III info. I highly doubt the combat range of 5 miles, as the 88mm Kwk 43 L71 gun effective range was about 1 to 1 1/2 miles.

Ive been playing Sturmovik since it came out back in 01, i have played every incarnation of it, tanks,airplanes, gliders,you name it,sounds are not their cup of tea and every time someone has tried to help, the fanbois get quite indignant and run for the hills so thats that,on a real German fighter in WW2 when the cannons would fire the whole plane would shake, you definitely felt it and they were LOUD. Its always been a niche game so no money for any niceties,dont get me wrong, i love the game but the sounds have always been meh. Know what you mean about the gun and being inside,Ive always said i would love to , just once, be standing next to a 88 when it went off,no ear protection, just once,lol

They were used in a role that were not intended to be used as a break through tank. This was because Soviet defense's were so strong that they attempted to use this to break through them.

70% were not lost less than a third

@@klingergary cheers for that,i didn,t have all the facts eh.thanks for educating me rgds RJTaylor

@@brealistic3542 thanks for the info,i stand corrected rgds RJTaylor

I have the same 650 ti i hear its weak but i have excellent graphics

Это не Су-85, а СУ-152: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SU-152 "The SU-152 was produced in large numbers throughout 1943, with the first SU-152s being issued to new heavy mechanized gun regiments raised in May 1943. The first regiment arrived at Kursk with only 12 guns, and was brought up to its full strength of 21 guns during the fighting."

I think I may have forgot to mention that this was a joke...

@@kaptainkrafter4130 The T-34 broke down a lot more than any German vehicle ever did

@@johnhighway9397 That may be true, but the T-34 was designed to be repaired or easily replaced. That's why they made so many spare parts for it.

@@kaptainkrafter4130 And they also made _a lot_ of T-34s... so many that you can still buy surplus ones (demilitarised, of course) today for a little more than the cost of a new Honda Civic. Shipping it to where you live (assuming you don't plan on moving to the Baltic or eastern Europe or already happen to live there) will cost you an arm, a leg, and a kidney, though.

Hi, is not a mod, it is included in game, you have to press the binoculars key.

@@Geoweb35 Which key is that? I have looked at mapping for Tanks and there is no mention of it?

@@mehudspith Lctl+5, look in weapons controls

@@Geoweb35 Thanks mate.

@@Geoweb35 Sorry to bother you again, but one last question. How on earth do you get your man to put down those binoculars once you have selected them? Pressing Ctrl 5 does not act as a toggle?

just early access

Geoweb35 ok thanks

Game name: Tank Crew Clash at Prokhorovka, you can find this game in Sturmovik website or in Steam store.

il2sturmovik website

No

@@Geoweb35 Than it's a bug, because when you start the engines only 1 tachometer is moving.

@@23GreyFox The second is moving also in this video, i have moved the view before the second engine starts.

@@Geoweb35 Ah ok, thanks.

sounds just like my car so what was the problem other than it being Duetche Qaulitet !?

Women picture is optional, you can remove it in tank settings.

@@Geoweb35 what game is this

@@muhammadmartin1115 this game is called il2 great battles, and this is tank crew dlc

@Martin Muham... Ok,you have a Goal picture!😁

I'm using medium graphics settings.
