That's currently as good a record as the Challenger 2 as only one has been lost to enemy action and that was in Ukraine. More importantly the crew got away.

@@fus149hammer5 That we know of. More might have been lost, that we don't know and probably more will be lost for certain as the Ukrainians are throwing them into battle like General Mechett. I'm sure one of them will end up in Kubinka. Just like they already have a few Leo 2's now.

Technically, the Admiral class battlecruisers only lost one in combat, too.

@@facubeitches1144 Only one Japanese Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was lost in combat. The rest were listed as suicides. I'm kidding of course.

Bob Semple still got you beat…

I refuse to accept your opinion.

​@jarlivwilmerus8353 i dont it looks futuristic. I thought it was a halo tank from yhe name.

@@xObscureMars The Covenanter doesn't look futuristic at all. It looks more like a tank from the interwar period

@@jarlivwilmerus8353 No, it looks like it could be in star wars

​@@jarlivwilmerus8353...I refuse to accept your refusal, Sir!

damb

Crusader*

Damn.

lol

When the newly made equipment that's made because of lack of equipment is so bad you'd rather fight without said equipment.

I like the way it looks though

Why did the US use Sherman then ?

@@RMD94 wow who knew that the Sherman (a good tank) is miles better than a tank that literally burnt the crew if they moved wrong

They wouldn't even use it as an APC

There were 13 armoured trains built in Britain in case of a German invasion, and one of them was the world's only miniature railway armoured train. Because of its proximity to Europe, the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent was given an armoured train, but the line only had a miniature 15 inch railway gauge so they remodelled one of the miniature railway's Hercules locomotives into a mini armoured train. It had two anti tank rifles and four Lewis guns and managed to shoot down a Messerschmidt 109. After the war they took off the guns and armour plating, gave it a new paint job and returned it to use on the model railway, where it remains in use to this day.

The Free Polish Army was essentially a British army/militia; they were trained and equipped by the British and they were based in the UK. After the war, they remained in Western Europe because Stalin refused to allow these heroes to return home. 😢

Wow, I looked into that, and it is true, and not Monty Python homage, it is THE MOST BRITISH THING EVER. I just imagine its Commander with his handlebar mustaches and swagger stick. @@RealUlrichLeland

Probably horse drawn. Sabres at the ready. Or insert correct slashing thingy

Ya, the covanater is a really nice lookin tank tbh

doesnt look so pretty when its brewed up

It looks a bit like a crusader, an actually decent tank

@@piercecowley255 They were parallel designs, developed to the same specifications. Both were ordered before even a prototype was build, which is the primary reason for the issues with both.

Looks like a regular crusader, although a bit disproportionate

Pretty sure armor sloping was a thing already done on some interwar tanks. It has drawbacks too, as it decreases space for the crew, especially the driver, which often ends up performing less good because of it. Regardless, given the tank has their radiators on the front of the tank, I highly doubt the tank was designed to shrug off anti-tank rounds with sloped armor. More likely the designers wanted to keep the tank as light as possible by decreasing the amount of steel necessary, which is also why they couldn't be bothered to increase the hull size to fit the radiators better. But I agree 100% that this tank looks amazing... like a '60's Porsche with a gun stuck to it.

Not if the engine is constantly overheating, I'd rather have a bren carrier than that

@@jaredgurd4276 If it's fourth down and a mile I won't give it to him

Don't tell me, the looks

same 😂😂😂

@@Panzerkampfwagen_VI995 he means as it was made from a rail company

​@@j4zzdistrictoh

Alot of tanks were actually designed by railway companies, not just in the UK, but around the world. Hungarians had tanks made by MAVAG like the Turan 40 and Toldi.

The archer was very successful?

I dont think u could call it a tank though.

The archer was a successful tank destroyer.

it deserve the hate

*Ever put in production. The worst tank ever created is the Valiant, also a British horror

The TOG would have been an amazing tank if World War 2 had become the same trench warfare that World War 1 was... honestly, there was one more tank that was even worse than the TOG, and that was the Valiant. Think of the pike nose of the IS-3, except stumped like a bulldog's nose, with a terrible engine and an even worse transmission, that was a Frankenstein's monster of different construction companies' ideas of how the design should look like.

Valiant: "I remain undefeated"

In all fairness, it'll probably be fairly capable whenever it's finally finished, but definitely not worth the cost. Such is the follies of having something developed in house rather than buying something that works unfortunately.

​@@bilalsadiq1450 Technically the ASCOD it's based on works just fine in Spanish and Austrian service, we just messed it up both in our modifications and our build quality.

The British cruiser tanks were incredibly fast for their time. Same with the Crusader and later Cromwell.

Loads of railway companies built tanks. Lima, Baldwin, North British, the LMS and the LNER iirc.

@@GreatCenteralGlory that's interesting thanks

With great ingenuity…

Polish units were assigned to armored trains built in the UK. Twelve units were in active service from 1940 to 1944 in the defense of the UK.

I'm guessing boats were involved somehow.

Never forget the polish 303 squadron ❤

Someone called Bubbles smuggled it in their prison “wallet”...... poor ol Bubbles was just never the same after that
