Fun fact: Parolas tank museum in Finland was in dire need of funds for an outdoor shelter for some of the tanks, including the worlds only BT42. Many of the donations they got were from Japan, and they were a bit confused. After a bit of research they found out that it was because of this movie. And thats how a Japanese animated film about cute anime girls battling with tanks helped preserve some Finnish history

Ive never watched this show, but the fact the creators are aware that the BT series of tank was capable of driving without tracks makes me so happy.

Imagine the repair team just like "Ah they f**kin did it again"

The only Anime series where teaches you about real life tanks and having fun learning about it. *Except physics*

Most fun thing in this is the "Tulta" word cuz in finnish our war scream and order to fire is "Tulta munille" that means "Fire at their balls"

The Finnish have to be fully trained rally drivers just to go to the store, this is what happens when you give them tanks.

*Anime girl starts playing polka* University team: “why do I hear boss music?”

As a japenese man i can assure that the subtiltles are correct

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen... I love it

who is here after the bt42 for warthunder was confirmed

And they claim that the sport is designed to be safe... clearly whoever invented it didn't think of how teenagers think

Christie never thought his suspension would be used as a meme for the Finnish BT-42 yeeting 3 Cold War tanks in a span of 4 minutes.

“Show them the Finnish power” and man did they show them

Me: Why does BT series tank sound like sport car? J. Walter Christie: *I am S P E E D*

Finally watched Der Film... it somehow DOES manage to get crazier even after this. The main problem with GuP... is that there's not enough GuP.

WarThunder: Adds BT-42 Players:

Russian söldier: sir there tank is tearing through our troops Stalin: Send in AT guns *Later* Russian söldier: It's too fäst Stalin: take out it's tracks *Later* Russian söldier: It's driving on wheels now Stalin: *cries*

this is indeed the very defenition of accurate ww2 tank battle in finland

Fun fact: This anime is a main reason why the only real BT-42 still exist and I'm not even joking

Finnish people are excellent drivers. The way they handled the Finnish tank is a testament to that fact. Wd have been cool if there were some Raikkonen and Botas references.

NANI!? PERKELEWAGEN DORIFTO?!?!

And thus thousands of tank enthusiasts have been turned into weebs

Average War thunder match in a nutshell.

And finally, FINALLY, this beauty of a tank is getting added to War Thunder.

For other War Thunder players: Here you see the Finnish bias. Its better than Russian bias. and that's why we need Finnish tech tree.

I can't believe i actually thought these were the real subtitles at first 😂

I love how the girl with the musical instrument is portrayed to be possibly drunk, saying random words and playing the instrument

Fun fact: The tank in this clip, the BT-42, was based around the BT-7 which in turn was based around a tank design made by an American racing car designer (specifically its suspension system). The suspension system was so good that the BT can still go on even without tracks.

most OP tank in the film= BT-42

AP [ 0 ] HE [ 0 ] PEPSI [ 40 ]

As a Hungarian, I approve the use of "Pálinka"!

"We're out of booze!" One of the saddest things I've ever heard

A typical war thunder tank arcade battles, or i should say Custom battles.

Anyone who is curious about it obviously there is the BT-42 1:00 Type 89(B) I-Go and on the engine deck the Italian CV/33 based off the L3/33 chassis 1:04 Obviously the Hetzer 38(t) in the back 1:12 Karl Gerat morser 1:31 M26 Pershing Have fun with this information if you care to research a specific tank from this scene.

Finnish tank takes 2 out by themselves indirectly kills a 3rd and assists in the 4th indirectly at the cost of their own tank. I SAY WORTH

As a Bundeswehrsoldat I confirm these are some of our top secret tank maneuvers we have to learn to become a Panzerkommandant. We also actually have to watch this movie/ series and re-enact it completely to become part of the Sondereinsatzspezialpanzerkommando 🇩🇪😏

All the russians (including me) Are gonna get flashbacks after hearing that melody.

THE BT-42 NEEDS TO BE IN WOT AND WAR THUNDER

i swear to god this anime has some degree of accuracy XD

Went to Parola museum last summer. BT-42 still there, doing fine. The song is Säkkijärven polkka which laments we lost the area of Säkkijärvi(to russians), but we still got to keep the polka(säkkijärvi’s polka music). Bit darkish finnish humour.

See, this is why I love the BT tanks, built by a race car driver, capable of no track driving via the use of a car like steering system, holds the record for the world's highest tank jump, it was the right tank for the wrong war, which was WW2, but its design gave inspiration to the iconic T-34.

I liked that they gave the characters from Anzio a major role, and that they made them competent and usefull, instead of being just filler to get K.O. early on and having no meaningfull impact on the story.

1:01 What the fuck?! What kind of drugs are we on right now?

Nobody: History channels after 2am:

this... the fake subtitles are the best subtitle ever.

I don't remember reading about Eurobeat being played on the battlefield of WW2 in my history textbook.

1:11 Imperial Commisar: "What in the name of the Emperor is that?" Tech-priest: "It appears to be a pre-Dark Age weaponized vehicle, my Commissar. Possibly a tank." Imperial Comissar: "A tank? But why is it so small?"

Bt-7: You are nothing. You have not had a successful application, you have not knocked out a single enemy tank. Bt-42: Yes.(But I've appeared in anime! Bt-7: +#%%#

10/10 would tulta again

"polka intensifies" Aww yeah, this gonna be good.

now we need this in war thunder

When the tank you immobolized *just got faster on wheels :*

That fucking Eurobeat with the polka was hilarious

囁くように｢行くぞ｣って言うとこほんと好き！ ｢うわぁぁぁぁこっちみてるぞおおぉぉぉ｣って言うとこも好き！

M26: "We outnumber you 3 to 1!" BT-42: "Ah good, a fair fight then!" 1:49 M26: "Not quite fair afterall..." 1:50 BT-42: "My second wind! Look ma, no treads!" 3:32 M26: "Gah! Leave me alone already!" 3:37 BT-42: "Third wind! Suck it Knight Rider!" 3:50 Both of them: "I need a drink!"

Please, nerf bard class. Too OP.

"We're out of booze" Such a Finnish thing to say xD

I got to 28 seconds I can't watch anymore or my sides will split from laughter

war thunder players right now

What happens in GUP Slow tank: fast Fast tank: slow Normal tank: extremely fast Crew members: -1 person Some tanks: shooting while the gunner is sitting on the tank, eating... Other teams tanks: can’t shoot enemy while theres no chance of missing Japanese teams tanks: somehow one shoots the stronges tanks with tiny guns.. Finnish Tank: goes faster in backwards somehow.. Hetzer: somehow gets under maus end doesn’t get crushed in the first second Maus: somehow can’t move bc of a tank that is tinyer than maus’es tracks... Hetzer: somehow goes like a dragster and jumps from a tank that has some shapes that can stop itself..

BT-42 can actually go like a car, because its made by fins

Wait, that's a Karl-Gerät, right?!

As someone who work in research of tank(let’s say, generally tanks) Yup, it’s accurate. They where also playing some eurobeat during combat!

Me: Mom can we have a KV-2? Mom: We have a KV-2 at home. KV-2 at home:

"Im Blocked !" *rock falls on cannon" "im Cock blocked !" OMFG LOL !!!!!!!! This video is a hidden gem in terms of comedy hahahah !

When you actually speaks Japanese and saw the “translation” lol

Girls und Panzer makes absolutely no sense, and it's hilarious

ah, Girls und Panzer. The anime that teaches you Tank history but their physics are thrown out the window with a Super Fast Tiger P to a Drifting Panzer.

I love how the bt-42 sounds like a hot rod

1:12 when a kv2 slowly turns its turrent and looks at u when ur in a lightly armored vehicle

0:37 dad going to buy some milk

Lmao the way that jagpanzer just yeets itself into the karl gerat!

Girls und panzer: *exist* Dog fighters: get ready to get recked

the Continuation girls were _easily_ the MVP's of that match

"Tactical eurobeat in the background" Me: hey thats initial D

Thank you I LAUGHED my tank off, keep up the good work

*Orders cola* "Is Pepsi okay?" Pepsi is a damn cola! I wasn't asking for Coca-Cola.

The part when the tracks get blown off of the tank this is a reference to how the bts could go on their "wheels" but it would be a much longer process and yes it's real they did it on and the bts also have the world record on the longest jump in a tank gup made a reference to this aswell

Now they need to introduce a tank towed by a tractor. For obvious reasons.

The anime makes the tank look better even though it failed terribly for Finland irl and was replaced by the Stug III

I will play World of Tanks when we gonna play with over powered tanks and with Pepsi missiles XD

As a history buff I find this video very intriguing and historically accurate All that's missing are sharks with lasers and nya cats flying in the sky like a bunch of drunk bastards trying desperately to hit on a high person who really doesn't give a fuck

Kiitos tästä, upea sarja muutenkin❤🇫🇮🇯🇵 Arigato

Note: This is not 100% accurate, and I'm not some history buff professor who spent his life researching and living out the days of the 40's ->60's. There are bound to be mistakes, but I just wanted to plop this down as a "guide". Just wanted to put something down for the people who don't have a clue what's going on, rather than just saying "*H I S T O R I C A L L Y A C C U R A T E*" (even though it's hilarious and I still might do): 1) Firstly, that's a Finnish Bt 42 not a Bt7. 2) Bt 42 carried a 114mm Howitzer Cannon (a lot of the comments below say that it's actually a 150mm?) but the 114mm version I'm more familiar with could penetrate up to 110mm of armour (in theory, lot of details hidden there... It was up to rng lel) 3) The Pershing uses a 90mm cannon (lol BT 42 go brrr) and the side of it's turret I believe was only *quick google search 76mm thick. The BT 42 fired into the side of the turret at a flat angle... It was very easily penetrated my dude. 0:45 fired at the rear end of the side of the turret. This is very much an extremely weak point, and honestly I would be more or less meming, but if this BT 42 has the 150mm howitzer people are saying it does, I'm surprised it didn't come out the other end o_o 4) Even the front of the Pershing is only 102mm thick. It is well angled and would be highly unlikely to be shot through, but still possible with just the 114mm Howitzer cannon. 5) 3:43 The other tank that was shot was hit on the hull's side armour. The side armour of the Pershing is *another quick google search* only 50-75 mm thick, and based off some schematics, it looks like it was shot around an area that only had 60mm of armor, so that even though the shell did not come into contact at a flat angle, it was still able to penetrate and disarm the tank. 6) The Pershing has a fantastic turret as you can see at 2:38 and was an actually decent tank (unlike the Sherman). That doesn't mean the tank is invincible. It's a Medium tank my dude, it isn't a T28/T95/Chieftan/Maus/IS (insert number here)/ Kv-3/Kv-4. Just a Medium tank that was heavy enough to barely fall into "heavy tank" category, but it's primary function was that of a medium tank. 7) You would do well to remember that the M26 had a great design, but had inferior suspension and not the greatest engine, that was why it was so short lived and quickly replaced by the M46 Patton which basically was the same tank (in what the tank was supposed to be able to do/carry out) but had a better engine and suspension. The M26 was a solid tank, but it wasn't the fastest. 7.5) The tank weighed 41.7 tonnes and only had 350 -> 500 hp. It's inferior suspension mixed in with inferior engine meant that it wasn't very fast, but *also struggled in muddy and swampy areas* (glances at the video) the BT 42 forced them into the river bed that typically floods whenever rain goes by. What does this mean? MUDDY AND SWAMPY AREA BOYS 8) the *BT 42* on the other hand, had an AMAZING suspension, and a GREAT engine. The Suspension alone was strong enough that it could drive on it's WHEELS. Then we realize the BT 42 weighed only 15 tonnes (nearly 1/3 of the M26) and had a 500 HP engine, so here is some raw stats: BT 42 M26 results If they both have 500 hp engines 33.3 hp/t 12.11 hp/t nearly 3x the hp:tonne ratio. If the M26 has 350 and BT has 500 33.3 hp/t 8.39 hp/t nearly 4x the hp:tonne ratio so in the best case sscenario, the BT 42 had 3x the hp:tonne ratio, and in the worst case scenario the M26 had 1/4 the hp:tonne ratio, and this still does not account for the difference in suspension superiority. The M26 in this scene is probably exaggerating how fast it's going, but the difference in acceleration and speed *actually makes sense*. Please note: I am not saying the BT 42 accelerates that fast. I'm saying the "difference in speed" is accurate, not their actual speeds. (The amount of force at 2:40 would probably incapacitate the crew. They went from what I assume is 20 mph -> 0 -> 20 mph backwards in about 2 seconds... In tanks... A lot of cars out there today can't do that..., let alone tanks in the mud)

1:53 I am awaited in Valhalla!!! WITNESS ME!!!!!!

When that arty tried to shotgun those tanks rushing it and missed i felt that

Even I Stalin must admit that the Fins have out done me with the Glorious BT-42.

The safest tank battle in history, not even a single drop of blood spilled in this movie

F*CKIN Finally! Bandai Visual can suck it it was fair use afterall :D

GUP's BT-42 is an homage to all great artillery players.

Soviet T-34 : “We Have Locked On Our Target, Loading AP (Armour Piercing).” *Loads AP Shell, Then Fires. Hitting The Tank* Soviet T-34: “Huh, That Was Easy.” *Finnish Tank Drives On Wheels Without It’s Tracks* Finnish Tank: *Finnish Anthem* Soviet T-34: “AAHH, HOW THE #### ARE THEY ALIVE..”

The random subtitle and eurobeat make it 1000% better 😂😂

when I first saw that detracted tank drive I'm just in a paralyzed wtf stat it totally had me rethink WWII tanks and the show.

Sakkijavren Polkka plays, Me: *HOLE MY PONTIKKA*

The bt 42 had the ability to remove its tracks and drive on road wheels

This is probably the most realistic tank movie I have ever seen

the pizza delivery made sense they threw an italian tankette and pizza is italian

When the enemy team is good but you have the McDonald's wifi on your side

Germans: “Hah! We destroyed their tracks! They’re done for!” The Freaking Finnish: “B e t .”

Pershing Commander: Ha-ha! You cannot drive without your tracks! Mikko: (pulls out a steering wheel) Now it's time to get FUNKY.
