Sorry for this yapping but i just... 3:55 So umm the fuel tank protects the crew when the fuel explodes. also t44-122 had a 122mm not a 125mm from the is2 it had a 122mm. The name of the t55's engine beeing a v55 is nothing unusual. Tank's can have same numbers/names on different stuff. Like the M1 syndrome with american's (m1 abrams,m1 grand,m1 tompson,m1 howitzer,m1 everything. Wood laminate nera would be effective against old RPG-5's but not rpg-7's and newer ones. About the romanian t-55 the tr85m would be cool to see a video on. If you would be looking for some help with research on other tanks ive got some people in my wt squadron who know a lot of irl stuff aswell. Ive got a lot of books and i can cook some stuff up if needed :).

Bro You forget about Indian ,Pakistani , Bangladeshi and Tanzanian T-55 derived tanks . India upgraded their T-55 "Gulmogar" by adding a licensed 105mm L7 Gun from Vijayanta MBT , which itself was a licensed Vickers MK 1 Tank . Later they repurposed that tank for Mine plowing. There were also plans to integrate an Arjun MBT hull on T-55 chassis . But that never happened. Pakistan on the Other hand modified their Type-59s with Chinese Help , gave it a more robust suspension to be able to bear the weight of 125mm Smoothbore cannon , and then made a new welded Turret for their Type-59 modified versions with 125mm smoothbore cannon altogether and called it as Al Zarrar MBT. Bangladesh and Tanzania also followed the same suit with their Type-59s by converting them to Type-59 BD Durjoy and Type-59G standards , all armed with 125mm Smoothbore cannon , new suspensions and New Laser Rangefinders.

* (8:29) The 115mm was not worse than the 100mm and it had similar performance to the early versions of the German 120mm. It was also easier to load due to the casing design of the ammo and breech design of the gun.

@TheDoctorMD 4 ай бұрын

When the T-62 was being designed the D-54T 100mm gun on the Object 430 could pen around 350mm with the 3BM8 APDS with WC penetrator while the new 115mm could only pen 250mm with the steel penetrator. All improvements that made the 115 eventually better than the D-54T came after the fact.

@Nave4x4 4 ай бұрын

@@TheDoctorMD I can't find any data on the 3bm8 on the D-54T. What penetrator are you talking about on the 115mm? Because the early ones (3BM3) had 270mm at 2km. Also, raw penetration was not the only thing considered when both guns were tested, trajectory arch, fire sustainability and performance against future threats were also taken into account.

@barbarapitenthusiast7103 21 күн бұрын

@@TheDoctorMD the U-5TS is simply a D-54TS with the rifling removed, everything else is identical. The idea that the U-5TS was adopted because Its bigger than the 105mm is also wrong. The U-5TS was chosen because they wanted a higher performance smoothbore gun. After the T-12 was declared not fit for mounting on a tanks because of the size of the casings, the U-5TS was created from the D-54TS. Any tank mounting the D-54TS could mount the U-5TS, such as the object 165 to object 166 since only the gun barrel is different. The U-5TS was issued with adapted T-12 ammunition which was better in performance to what the D-54 could use at the time. You also mention 3BM8 which has a penetration of 300mm at 0° at 2km while 3bm3 has 270mm at 0° at 2km. So the difference is performance is minimal. What must also be remembered is that the 3BM8 entered service in 1967 altrough a very similair round was being developed for the D-54. Aswell as all the other advantages the U-5TS brought with Its APFSDS such as higher power and muzzle velocity.

Also, admiral-general, why need to pay up to 100 times more for every vehicle just to have features your soldiers don't even know how to use.

Okay we gonna have to fact check of the T-72Ms were cheaper than the Centurions because that sounds goofy asf. 1:38 You mean 122mm, there was no 125mm gun until APFSDS was a common shell in service… There are too many mistakes lol. 4:58 3BM8 subcaliber was a good bit larger than the APCR. So that was incorrect. 12:02 T-55. T-55 Enigmas armor was effective against HEAT charges… It was effective enough to somewhat stop the Milan, and RPGs. It was effective for its purpose. To say otherwise is to ignore the reality. It didn’t stop APFSDS which it wasn’t meant to.
