That guy is built to be a tanker that is for sure ^^.

As a Swed its been great seeing our tank history on display here! Even tho I don't even play WoT.. I'm a War-thunder kinda guy :P I absolutely love yours&Wargamings content especially "Inside The Chieftain's hatch"

Sweden was a major cannon producer from the 16th century and made the best cannons in europe

You could have at least stood him on a box so it's not like Treebeard talking to Merry and Pippin.

that's the major thing about wot. they bring history back to life and I love them for it. until wargaming I knew very little about tanks or planes or even warships. keep it up guys

I've been into reenacting for over 25yrs and the impact video games made on the general publics knowledge of military equipment was a shock to me. when I started into the world of military living histories/battles reenacting one had to tell over 70% of the viewers what weapon was what, even had the WWII German reenactors confused for active duty Marines. But one day at a living history event with the traveling Vietnam memorial wall these 10-14 yr old kids named every weapon we had on display(even calling the M-79 a china lake) I was dumbfounded to say the lest. The new breed coming into the hobby may know more on the actual names, specs and uses of equipment than I did when I started. Being this as it is I feel it is imperative that the game designers get it right and have it historically accurate. I appreciate what WOT is doing and how involved they have become in not only the game experience but outside the game with its gamer community.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting!

Nice to see the man behind the Swedish series , great to see the inside looking out view.

It's really cool to see that public interest in tanks and tank history has been invigorated by World of Tanks in the last few years, not just in Sweden but across the globe. I know my interest in tanks only got past a mild curiosity after I got into the game. I think it's a bit much to call World of Tanks a cultural phenomenon, but it definitely puts a bit of pressure on WG to make WoT a good game, not just for money, but to keep the public interest in tanks alive. Also looking forward to seeing more of the museum!

sound is low:-/ turned up to Max on my Sony z3 c... phone which can play sounds at quite loud levels for it's size I still cant hear the video too well

This guy is great! Chieftain, you're ok too! ;)

Thank you for the video. +1

The Swedes should start building new tanks, they should call it the Viking I.

His MEMORY left its mark on me

I´m glad I didn´t apply to tank force here in Finland. I´m over 6 feet (187cm) and I had hard time even in the trenches for my height...couldn´t get low enough, always hitting my helmet to the upper cross bars.

thx for the videa

In 1655 Sweeds invaded almost all Poland. It was called "The Swedish Flood". Polish and Swedish kings were family. Even then they had great infantry. Well trained and equipped. In winter you could walk thru frozen Baltic on foot btw.

Hahah i thought Stefan's tie was the mic at first..

lol you just deleated the whole thing at the end XDDDDD Also what about filming the floor and other stuf?

Sweden has always had different operational concerns to a lot of the rest of the world. I don't quite know as much about the tanks but for aircraft they always have a few requirements that make sense for them specifically. For instance a major problem in jet aircraft is you need a place to take off from, and these places are likely to be bombed first because they can't move. Various ways have been tried to get around this, stuff like VTOL is hard and usually less stable and a bit melty, ZELL is violent and still requires some where to land. If you are expecting a defensive war though, and have a large country with straight roads, then having requirements for that could help. Because you are expecting to have a high sortie rate and not be somewhere with reasonably prepared maintenance staff, it therefore is a reasonable idea to have the aircraft easily maintainable and serviceable by unskilled people on the side of the road. It also requires having smaller aircraft. Of course they had some of these requirements for other reasons, but there is always some method to the madness. There are probably some other things in there as well that I am missing.

Any chance of a M18 hellcat or an M1 Abrams, modern tanks are good too.

Very cool. Maybe World of Tanks will expand the line of Swedish tanks soon?

hey if arsenalen tank museum needs funds see if they are privy to a crowdfunding service I'm sure people and probably world of tanks players wouldn't mind trowing a few dollars at making sure a great tank building nations history of tanks is not forgotten

DO ANOTHER TANKS 101 CHIEFTAIN!!! THE LAST ONE IS SO GREAT!!!!!

why is the video quality of this video so low?

interesting interview - shame about the sound

How do you fit into a tank? Tankers are supposed to small!

Come to Denmark and look at fantastic tanks!

Historical Heritage of the brave. Fore fighters. The things they did the Finnish on skied. In fought skied out. Silent. Deadly like THETE Viking fire fathers

My leaft ear liked this video :D

Now it ends without whatever you were going to say after he complemented WGs job on WoT... still I guess thats slightly better than slow-mo Chieftain.

OH SNAP ! Wait until the comments from Norway pour in. It wasn't the one tank that was the problem it was integrity and not having a agreement with Nazi Germany to use the railroads, iron and steel production to help invade Russia and build war material. There is a long standing serious rivalry / historic distrust between otherwise all most the same countries Sweden and Norway, so could be interesting. BUT if you are in Sweden do go see the War Museum in Stockholm extremely well done. Except for the already noted lack of signs in Swedish museums for some reason

Bofors is from the 1600s!

Louis de Funes?

We want to add something .."helicopter" well making a the helicopter bigger for a customer is a new version really . NH90 HCV

i didn't know Sweden had tanks in 1421(read the captions at 0:32)

There is something cool about the s-tank.

Nicholas, are you a giant? Stefan mentioned he's too big for certain tanks...

Mr Chieftain, you don't need to be that tall.

that's a short Viking !!

Norwegian and Finnish folks are tough brave widely scattered but the ones I've. Loved as a kid are gone. I fight my HEFERN to honor my mom SANDRA. MAIDEN NAME SANDVIK FOR HER. AND HER DAD KARL

The sound is really bad for the Swedish bloke. Did you neglect to give him a mic because he looked too small and insignificant?

You guys look like Hirohito and McArthur.

since you took down original video, i repeat myself. (git gud scrub lol) Stefan Karlsson? that's gotta be one of the MOST Swedish names one can have in Sweden.

owwww if you were just going to delete the ending you should have left it hahaha xD

The average swedish WoT gamer is 30-50? lulz

so you dug up the smallest swede in the history of sweden. thats funny.

He did more talking in 13min than most Swedes do in a whole year.

The Audiorecording is not very well.... Bad Job of the Guys who recorded it. If you doubt my Claims: if you can't record Chorus singers you can't do a recording in such a hall anyway.. He's barely to understand because of the bad recording of his Voice. PRO HINT: SOUND CHECKS.... :D

Fix your sound! Almost unwatchable.
