Basically the C13 t90

The NM116 was Norwegian, not Dansk. NM = Norwegian model but yes it would be fun

And the Norwegian Chaffee! Basically a modernized Chaffee with thermal sighting and low pressure 90mm that slings HEAT

@@im_flat I was talking about the danish m41 Walker bulldog, not the Norwegian super chaffee

Doesn't the Danish M41 Dk-1 have the 76? Or is there another Danish M41 I don't know of Please enlighten me

What happened?

@@user-mz7jm1ec5s one of them flipped upside down, apparently due to parts’ failure, killing the commander. Even if newly built, they are already inadequate for current battlefields - in this case, after decades of service, the wear and fatigue has made them worse than useless.

For perspective the leclerc one of the most advanced tank entered service in 1993 bruh

Kinmen Island's most powerful arsenal that is self-propelled is mostly ex-French M36B2 Jackson Tank destroyer, which made sense their mainstay tank defense is the M41 lol

Why? Why does being off the cost of china mean it is good? Why does being off the coast of China change anything?

@@cerdic6867 The last time the Commie PRC tried to invade that island, the Chinese invasion party during the Battle of Guningtou has a strenght of 19,000 troops against an understrenght infantry defending the Island. They were defeated and routed by the ROC defending the island with nothing more than an a platoon of 5 M5 Stuart that the ROC used since their operation against Japan in the Indochina region during WW2. The said Stuart fought against the Human wave tactic; the same tactic that UN force has been struggling in the Korean war, in this invasion and yet the Stuarts not only defeated them using its 37mm gun, when the ammo ran out the ROC Stuarts used themselves as battering ram and as a result of these Stuarts action, Kinmen Island remained the closest region of Taiwan to Commie China territory. Kinmen was literally an artillery firing range away from the mainland China territory, but it is still an island region and no matter how good the PRC tank is, it's useless when you don't have any secured landing zone to offload the tank, which made you rely on your amphibious force instead. The 76mm gun of the M41D is obsolete against the PRC MBTs, but not to their amphibious vehicles; thin-skinned and it barely floats on the surface. If they (PRC) even bothered trying to bring their MBT in LST, the LST's armor are also generally so thin that even a 40mm Bofors gun from a patrol boat could sink them without even having the chance to offload them into the coast.

@@gattonero2915 "Battering ram" is putting it lightly. The story behind the way they used those Stuart tanks is genuinely the stuff of nightmares. Once they ran out of ammunition, even MG bullets, they were used to methodically crush the enemy troops landing on the beach. The enemy soldiers would be suppressed from the shore while the Stuarts ran them over in their hiding places, I assume shell craters and behind piles of dead bodies.

@@cerdic6867 2 things that we considered: 1st, anything larger than a light tank is no good to the terrain there. The island is too small for any MBT to maneuver and too heavily fortified for any light tank to land. At the time (1999) the main opponent the M41D would face was Type 69s, IFVs, and infantry. Of course, it will be inadequate for today's standard, but at the time it was deemed enough. 2nd would be the overall strategy. Kinmen is not exactly strategically important for Taiwan to defend the main island, and when war begins, there is no way Taiwan can supply Kinmen, so anything sent to Kinmen will be considered a lost cause and will not contribute to the overall war effort, thus the most effective weapon at the cheapest price is the mainstay. Over 80% of servicemen stationed in Kinmen are locals for the same reason. Self-sustainability is centric to the overall strategy of these islands, thus M41D with the best fuel economy, the most powerful gun available to the tonnage, and the cheapest price possible (since it's just a simple conversion of the M41C tanks, of which we have an abundance of) become the first choice. Of course, they are getting replaced by CM-34s and ATGM teams, but the background makes sense for the overall strategic decision at the time.

correct me if i'm wrong but i think tanks don't usually fight so close that you can see antennas anyway, they usually fight so far away they can't even see each others antennas

@@Rickster-oq2yhThey also tend to have to deal with infantry

@@Rickster-oq2yh yea tank battles are rare.

It's not some battle, but MANY battle as well in that 1973 conflict. Heck, when i mention the 73 Easting battle (along with Battle of Medina Ridge) being a close quarter one, i wasn't kidding; the M1A1 Abrams and M3 CFV frequently engaged the Iraqi Asad Babil and T-55s around 50 meters, with 10 meters being the closest.

Only a few T-34s have their radio antenna put down to prevent this being a thing for them. Got to see the actual tank. Russian bias strikes again here. It also is amazing how even at 500 meters the antenna give away your positions. They don't at greater distances but they also stop rendering that it is a nonfactor.

I would love to see spookston, taking the m4 105 and m5 to hunt big cats

@@highonoxide1761 meanwhile Gaijin : here you got more stupid jets and 70$ premium jets Sad reality, that's why I play simulator quite a lot. Less planes and even if there are any, these are actually skilled pilots.

@@taj2332 is this a joke? He wrote 2 sentences are you illiterate?

@@danny0487 I agree, while sim comes with its own challenges (rip to all the shermans I've accidentally killed thinking they're an Italian one) CAS is so much better there, usually I see a few planes just crash on takeoff but when you do die to a plane you know that the dude actually put in work for that kill. Also I really like realistic milsim games and WT has the best tank damage model (for PvP)

He could even combine it with the Pbv 301 in a lineup.

it'd work pretty nice its heat can go through 480mm and its 105mm

More crew. But if you load aphe. Its one shot

Less armor to cause spalling

In addition to the crew size and armor spalling as mentioned by the other comments, modern tanks also have massive ammo...old WW2 vehicles are oftentimes harder to ammo rack

Well with apfsds the armor composition is different being mostly pure Steel so the penetrator doesn't get slowed down as much so it's more likely to go straight through them break itself up and spaw the armor and you have more crew.

No armor is best armor
