To think tanks were such a scary sight in WW1. A metal fortress that seemed invincible. But now we’ve got a vast dedicated arsenal that renders a number of them as scrap metal for cover of troops.

The Bob Semple Tank being the first one means it is truly 1st place among Tanks.

Bob Semple Tank, the most powerful tank in the entire universe

The Bob Semple was more of an early infantry fighting vehicle

Why hasn’t anyone built a scale wooden version of the ratta this would be amazing to see it actually made

0:06 The bob semple Tank (worst tank in history) 8:21 the history’s largest super tank MAUS. 14:39 Ratte Mega tank (battleship on tracks) 22:37 American M1 Abrams Main battle tank. 26:49 Tiger mark 1 number 131 last working tiger tank. 35:15 Tsar tank.

the tank in ww1 was terrifying, no one up to that point had seen a metal machine like that, however most either broke down, or were torn to shreds by armor piercing maching gun rounds, not to mention a well thrown grenade could blow up the British tanks if they landed where the exhaust pipes are plus the Germans repurposed a 75mm artillery gun and used it as an anti tank weapon not to mention anti tank rifles and anti tank grenades, some were also unlucky enough to have a artillery round land on top of them but they were effective enough after the first use of them where the British government ordered 2000 of them and in 1917 3 British tanks and 3 German av-7 tanks met on the battlefield thus the first tank battle was fought

Imagine seeing Ratte in a modern battlefield with updated turrets

I LOVE TANKS!!!!!!!!! I went to the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA where they have a lot of tanks including the M1A1 Abrams, Panzer Mk 5 Panther, IS-2 Stalin, M4 Shermans, Jackson tank destroyer, SU-100, T-72, and many more.

Highly recommended to see Tiger 131, it's a very impressive machine!

13:09 /still/ faster than the Bob Semple Tank oof 😂😂😂

Can you make a video comparing the size of the Maus and/or Ratte with the Crawler transporter that NASA uses? There are some interesting similarities.

the simple tank may have been a failure as a tank but as something thrown together using what you had it was good enough. I think it would have done well at holding off a beach landing but after that it would have struggled. Basically it was a mobile pill box.

The Tsar Tank was a bizarre tank.

As a New Zealander seeing that Bob semple tank was cool to see. It wasn't a real tank more like something that could be made easy from a tractor if Japan invaded. More of an improvised desperation type thing. It's the kinda weird thing that a country at war by a bigger foe would make from common stuff as its better the nothing

It's funny how this vid was posted less than a minute ago and it already has dozens of likes before anyone can finish watching the whole thing

PLEASE do a video on the Polish 7TP it's my favorite World War II tank and very underrated it doesnt get near enough attention that it should. Had the Polish had more of them they could of crippled the blitzkrieg worse than it already was.

Sounds like a lot of respect is due to NZ for their effort!

I'm named after General Creighton Abrahms. Don't know what made my parents pick it but I like it.

When a tank makes a Japanese tank look good you know you have a gem.

Nice use of the Armed Forces Medley with the Semple Tank.

Fastest Churchills ever depicted.

The Tsar Tank was more of a bicycle to me.

You shouldve had the HA-GO tank turn around and blow up the semple tank after crossing the finish lol i wouldve lost it 😅

32:31 awwww !!! The animations are really really cute!! 🤗

If the thumbnail tiger was angled I’d have WOT and WT ptsd

Tej: Ah, guys we need to come up with a new plan… they got a tank! Roman: I’m sorry did you say they got a tank? What’s plan B? Tej: Plan B? We need a plan C, D, E we need more alphabets!

The moment the Japanese knew about the Bob Semple, they knew the war was lost. "Thank God the Bob Semple was on our side or else the morale of our forces would have plummeted as hard as the Japanese upon witnessing such monsterious strength" *~Franklin Delano Roosevelt probably*

Loving it. Keep it up.

Keep up the great work

Ratte would be a scary mothership to see if it was actually used

The "RATTE" is probably what fueled the ideas for the "Mammoth" tank in C&C games.

0:58 This is definitely a Toggers moment

Bob Semple is best tank hands down.

25:00 Lovely animations. !! Glorious animations as always!!!! 🤗. 27:20

0:05 everyone else-what a good song😊 me-😳 it’s hitler has only got 1 ball Göring has only got one ball Hitler's are so very small Himmler's so very similar And Goebbels has no balls at all! Hitler has only got one ball, The other is in the Albert Hall His mother, the dirty bugger, Chopped it off when he was small. She threw it over West-Germany, It landed in the deep blue sea, The fishes got out their dishes, And had scallops and bollocks for tea. Hitler had only one brass ball, Göring had two but they were small Himmler had something sim'lar And poor old Goebbels had no balls at all. Hitler has only got one ball, The other is on the kitchen wall His mother, the dirty bugger, Chopped it off when he was small. She threw it into a conker tree At this time it went into the sea The fishes got out their dishes, And had scallops and bollocks for tea.ball Hitler has only got one ball, Göring has two but very small Himmler is someone sim'lar But poor Goebbels has no balls at all. Hitler has only got one ball, Göring has two but very small Himmler is someone sim'lar But poor Goebbels has no balls at all

Finnaly all of it together

Gate Anime: Iron Elephants. Nihonkoku Shoukan: Iron Earth Dragons, Iron Monsters.

So the Char C2 was left out?

For the Bob simple it should have only had one machine gun and one anti tank gun because the Japanese armor was really thin

Tank you Sir. 🇬🇧

Please make a video about the Battle of Westerplatte. The Battle of Westerplatte was the first battle of the German invasion of Poland, marking the start of World War II in Europe.

There are still quite few 50s and 60s models D8s being used on a near daily basis.

Thank you for putting New Zealand in your video

If you thought an angled tiger 1 was scary... wait till you see an angled maus

A solider with a shoulder launched rocket or a drone can knock out a tank. Trade off is the solider/drone isn't armored, and the tank is.

I have Maus in world of tanks. It’s a cumbersome one with engineplaced in the front. It is having a high risk of catching fire and being immobilised.

Bovington will soon have another great attraction of a tank, their FV4005 "SPUD" is currently undergoing restoration, which will see it get the original Centurion Mk3 hull, and will be made to be as accurate as possible to its 1950's condition. There were 3 FV4005's ever built (1 FV4005 Stage 1, 2 FV4005 Stage 2's) but only 1 was ever reassembled using a Centurion Mk12 hull, and sat as a gate guard, a static vehicle since 2008, but come Tank Fest later this year, it will be ready to be shown off, where it will look as it did when it was first built, and most importantly, it will be operational, driving under its own power for the first time on 70 years.

Funny how they call the biggest tank ever "Ratte" and a tank like the Tiger "Tiger"

17:00 The Rattë’s 2ndry turret looks like the Maus’s main gun. lol. 19:43

3:30 I'm somewhat of a dozer/tractor enthusiast, and I have never seen - in picture or in person - a Cat D8 of any model with a raised front wheel. Tracks on tractors are all about getting the maximum amount of track in contact with the ground. Either they had a D8 variant in New Zealand that I have never heard of, or they somehow modified the tracks by lifting the front wheel. Anybody with more information, please enlighten me.

Have a great day everyone

The DH-86 bomber actually looks cool tho

i like your guys videos

The rat is something out of a comic book

What would win in a fight, the Bob Semple or Marvin Heemeyer's Killdozer?

'depleting sandwich uranium armour'!

Bob semple deserve respect and love

Excellent video.

All of us apocalypse brothers can see value in the simple tank. We can all make it.

I'm not sure if anyone here has played "Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge". I wonder if the Allied Battle Fortress from that same game was developed -- in concept -- from the Bob Semple Tank. If you look at the model of the Battle Fortress: particularly the position of its gun ports, they seem strikingly similar to that of the gun positions on the Bob Semple Tank. But this is a completely superficial observation on my part: no research, just a mere spectacle of curiosity; I'm just curious if anyone notices the similarity, like I do.

Indeed Tanks form the backbone of ground forces and the spearhead of mechanised warfare and they are here to stay.

Oh, yes. The Tog, cant be penetated by tier 3 and an exp box for tank 4. They do have a lot of HP, even tho they cant reallt penetrate heavy tank of the same tier.

I wonder if we can attach naval guns to tanks

The best chanel for falling asleep

Imagine how large the rat would be if it was made of lego...

Was the simple tank a basis of the road warrior series? So many questions!

When I realize that tog l is the one BC tog ll I wondered what tog l looks like

I'm not sure I'd call the Bob Semple tank a monster.

That simple tank story was good..technically you can improvise weapons from civilian stuff like fishing boats and biplane.

26:40 but they’re not quiet are they? Or is that the Challenger I’m thinking of? The turbine engines aren’t so quiet.

Well, we know where Westwood got the idea for the GDI/Soviet Mammoth Tanks from, haha.

Low how the animated detail in the Tiger 131 has it's dent in the turret

"Free range"??? Like chickens? I believe you mean "Free rein".

Nice vid, you should make a video about the baltic partisans

Tiger 131 was the tank used in FURY

I think it's unfair to call them domb, afaik the parachutes failed to deploy and those aid packages basically became kinetic unguided munitions

The p1000 rate looks like it has two maus turrets

The ol' Bob Semple!

the new us tank is the abramsX thats all i know about it as its still under development.

What would a land cruiser designed today look like, I wonder. No reason to ever build one but... It'd be kinda cool to see the modern thought process to that. Lighten things up where necessary with autoloaders and modern armor, run it on nuclear or something, throw in one of those naval rail guns...

i just relized that I could use the naval guns as a slide

13:34 VK 100.01 could wade 8m with the snorkel ?!?! 😳! Holy sh!

Hi!

The New Zealand tank the music is anchors away

You gotta hand it to Bob for making do with what was there

11:34 Each wheel combo or bogie was powered? 😳..

I don’t see anyone else coming up with any better ideas ..Bob Semple

Suddenly LA Beast music appeared

If you think about it with japenese tatics in ww2 bob simple would actually be pretty good since new Zealand being a island its best defense would be the citys

I feel like the semple tank would’ve been good for anti-infrantry tank

you forgotten the shewerer gustav ang landkrueuzer p1500 😀

The bob semple could of been used for infantry support all they would have to do is add 6 Lewis guns and another engine for speed

Everyone gangster until that one dude brings a bob semple tank

Bob Semple tank is definitely the scariest tank in the world

25:33 what is a "short ton"..?

How do you even have enough for the body of that

Hi

funny thing is all ww2 German tanks and accessories suppliers are still in business: porsche, bmw, man, daimler mercedes benz

Bob sample the best tank ever
