"Would have named it something more intimidating" He doesn't know about wombats.

Some of these i learned about by playing the game Armored Warfare

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> That looks like a tank I would see in a ps1 game

Wombat looks like the Jagpanzer.

Has Spookton ever tried Armored Warfare? Some of the tanks he mentioned are in there. Granted it's far more arcadey than something like WT.

I mean, weird is so negative, they're just...uh...creative ^^'

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="127">2:07</a> Ohhhh so this is where the JagAbrams comes from

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="306">5:06</a> Looks like the enemy tank already got hit. Looks like we can stop for repairs.

I'm so early I beat the email notification! Excellent video though, I didn't realize any of these existed, its hard to imagine tank concepts were as nutty as automobile concepts at times...

I remember seeing the HD-40T on tv. Right around the time they started speculating on stealth tanks.

Please do a "if challenger 1 was historically accurate"

Bruh that Swedish tank looks like a halo scorpion ngl

Wombat: *Parks right beside enemy russian tank* Wombat: "I hope you have gun depression" Russian tank: *cries in 5 degrees of gun depression* Wombat: *EVIL LAUGHTER* *SIDE RAPE*

This designs are like created in 3 in the morning. They make sense, but you forgot what sense that was.

HD--40T "Womble". Never produced because of its tendency to miss shots, lob grenades into friendly infantry, and spontaneously commit war crimes

Thats pretty w e i r d Jokes aside, amaizing videos, your voice is so calm and you know what your speaking of, can't wait for a new video

Could you do a video about Fractalsponge’s Star Wars tank and walker designs? They are really cool, and I think you’d like how they interpret Star wars’ design style into more (and less) practical vehicles.

I've always wondered, why do the Russians call their tanks "Object"?

As a kid I was so psyched for the Wombat as I thought it was going to be the replacement for the Abrams.

HD-40T looks like a low textured vehicle lol

GREAT job i actually didnt know any of these existed excellent research!

Really interesting video thx for the effort

Thanks for this - I have been trying to figure out the name of the HD-40T for years now!

My father lived in the twin where they would test the UDES XX and he has memory’s of watching it drive on the roads, he’d also see a few SAAB 32 Lansen fly over his house. And that is the only reason I know it existed and what it was gonna be used as. In my opinion it’s a really neat idea but it has its problems. Oh and I just want to say for fun that one of the problems it had was it could not reload the 120 mm gun if it wasn’t pointing straight forward, and they never found a way to fix this. Great video! And keep up the amazing work!!

The Wambat looks like the EU tank from 2142.

>implying wombats are not intimidating *MORTAL WOMBAT!* >music starts playing >masked wombat appears out of nowhere and breaks Spooks legs >"FINISH HIM!" >a scene too brutal to describe occurs >wombat poses in front of what's left of Spook (not much) >"FLAWLESS VICTORY! FATALITY!"

you are killing it with these vids; I genuinely have never heard of any of these. You are waaaay better than all those other youtubers who try to make this sort of video, who just list off the same tanks everyone has seen before. BTW, I wanted to ask if you have any interest in checking out the vehicle designs of the Metal Gear series? I think you might enjoy it because they have a fun mix of super ridiculous unrealistic vehicles (like Metal Gear RAY and REX), and actually quite grounded designs (Gekko, Shagohod, TX-55, and Metal Gear D). It's also the only series I can think of where Mechs are actually strategic weapons rather than tactical ones with half the Metal Gears being more analogous to nuclear submarines than tanks; which certainly puts an interesting spin on the design philosophy. Actually, speaking of Metal Gear, you might want to check out the series that inspired a lot of those designs, "Maschienen Kreiger" (I think I spelled that right) which has some of the most grounded mech designs I've ever seen.

>More Intimidating Clearly never met a wombat in the wild

Object 760 was not a hover tank, it was a counter intelligence tactic employed the soviets against foreign spies. It was actually made due to the Soviets lacking a good graphics card. True story

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a> eyyyy the AGS

The Teledyne is in the game now

i love your channel keep it up :)

I haven't seen or heard about the Wombat in 15 years since that Discovery Channel documentary Thank you for finding the footage because I thought it was a fever dream

Intro Genuinely Look’s like a Swamp Creature Great Presentation Fun

Spookston did the UDES-XX20! Eeeeee! Happy to see that weird thing get a spot!

If you do a third videos about this, you should talk about the object 167, nice video keep it up

Love the soundtrack lmao

Finally a rare tank video with actual tanks I didn't know

Talk about the strv 2000

You should take a look at the designs of the Battletanx series. I'm interested to hear your thoughts about a tank that can literally flip over and still function fine or that one tank that has a minigun welded into the hull.

Ooohhh, using the Mechanicus OST? I see you are a man of culture as well =D

Idk why anything that starts with "Object" then like 3 numbers sounds so intimidating but damn if it is.

HD-40T's name is terrifying enough, thank you very much.

i fucking love this series please do more

“Wombat, I would’ve named it something more intimidating” Spookston has no idea how fucking terrifying wombats actually are.

Its weird looking back and seeing what looks like the damn AGS which is in game now lol

YES, I finally got expeditionary light tank! Love that tank!

Seems the DSFV has been added to warthunder under the name AGS

Maybe you could cover the osorio? I know the only prototypes did see official service, but not much exists on what happened afterwards.

Wombats can be surprisingly dangerous with those tunnelling claws.

This gameplay just pissed me off. The 279 is officially way too OP for 8.3

You should do a video on Brigador's tanks. There are three factions andI imagine you would have a lot to say about each: One has fairly conventional tanks, one has ramshackled and improvised war machines, and the last has a lot of technology that is taken directly from space vehicles. There's an in game option to get close ups of all the tank models as well as the various lore behind them and a lot of the technologies that make it possible. It seems right up your alley and is currently on sale on steam. Alternatively, Mandaloregaming put out a video on it and has an affiliate link that would allow you to get a slightly better deal on GOG.

Some reminds me of the one of the proposal for the STRV-2000 Project.

udes xx20 was a good concept, really good in terrain

HD40-T crew's proposed battle cry: MORTAL WOMBAT!!

what i saw 3 likes 0 views. really yt? and real nice vid

Hey, Spook, you seem pretty good at WT. Have you ever made or thought of making guides for it?

The XX-20 looks almost like the Halo Scorpion. The HH-40T looks just like it came from a ps1-era game

For real, should have used something like the HSTV, Leo 2K, T59E1 or whatever other proto tank.... 279s, 685s, Bitch 7s.... These are all my to TK if in RB list

I think the only one I knew of was the 287, so nice job. Also, I'm sure thay ending music sounds familiar...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="110">1:50</a> Gmod ACF tank designs be like

Dude that gameplay of the 279 makes me sad. I grinded as hard as I could for that thing during the event but was unable to get it. It was truly a painful moment for many WT players

Glorious

The DFSV looks really good, actually.

Wombats can run faster than a fair amount of humans, are partially bulletproof to some calibres due to extremely dense bone, and are well known for crushing dingos heads. In short, they may look adorable, but they can definitely intimidating creatures...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a> yooo the xx20 got a mini Strv 103 at the back lol

I would like to see what you would design if you were designing tanks in WW2. Using the tech and limitations at the time. Don’t forget about terrain.

Wombat actually looks pretty good. A 120mm is probably too big for it but a 105 would be ideal.

can you make a video on wheeled tanks and explain what avantages it has over traks or disadvantage

Obj.760 was more a testbed/proof of concept on its idea. A look into "Should we even interest ourselves with this, is there any possibly we might regret ignoring this concept in the future?" (A worthy mention none the less!)

I know you've never seen a wombat face-to-face, but they're a lot more menacing than meets the eye. You can hit them at 90kph (almost 60mph) and they'll leave a wombat print in the radiator and walk away like nothing happened. They also have claws and can weigh almost 40kg

I hear that Halo 3 ODST music at the end :)

Dude many of the American Prototypes look so cool.

Not sure if you’ll ever meet one since most of the population here down under probably won’t meet a wild one in their lifetime but Wombats are highly aggressive and know how to intimidate since that’s their primary defence strategy. They’re known for charging without notice and have enough mass to crit (see: break) your ankles if you’re not prepared. They love to scare tourists who think they’re just fluffy Aussie bunny equivalents but if there’s one thing about the fauna here: expect the unexpected.

Woo! UDES XX20, baby Mammoth Tank.

Last time I was this early the maus still existed

Some of them I see in Armored Warfare mainly DFSV as "Epedisionary Tank"

Fun Fact: The Obj. 760 stems from various similar hovertanks before it, dating to the 1930s, designed by Vladimir Israilevich Levkov. Fun Fact 2: The HT-95 "Levkov" from Battlefield 4: Final Stand was named after said designer (and was essentially just a Strv-103 with jets on the bottom).

The XX-20 is literally a big gun on an armored articulated bus

If only you knew how little wombats could live on, you’d regret implying a wombat is unintimidating. They’re really hardy animals.

When I saw the HSFV, I wondered where I saw it before. Then it dawned on me: It's the Expeditionary Tank in Armored Warfare. Though, no autoloader in that capacity.

I've seen similar external gun systems like the M1128 MGS Stryker... I do believe the brits tried to mount a 20pdr to a Comet at one point

the DFSV looks and sounds very practical, and similar to the stryker in concept.... i find it extremely weird and ironic then that it lost to the m8ags, which itself lost to the stryker later on... lol.

Do not underestimate the combat power of a scrap-yarn wombat!

Will the world ever have a functional double barrel tank? The World May Never Know

I feel like you underestimate that power a wombat has

I want people to make more artistic tanks. Tanks that arent lethal but are artistic pleasing to the eye and look super weird but cool.

A cool tank I thought was cool was the object 477 cause it has a huge 152mm gun and the crazy part is that it has a auto loader and it can penetrate 420mm of armor. Also it goes 75km/h With ceramic armor, but it was canceled when the Soviet Union was disbanded.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="167">2:47</a> Hang on, that seems familiar.

in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="306">5:06</a> was the picture abaut Object 287 and the back ground is what kinde of tank? IS that an IS-7?

Please do a video on the challenger 2 upgrade with the l55 120 mm smoothbore gun

You should name those "weird" prototype tanks underrated prototypes because almost no one knows about it. And just how to fix a Maus problem? 1. Simple, it's weight should be lighter than 70 tons, beyond 70 tons or 70 tons is too much for a tank. 2. It's armor should be composite armor with a little thin layer of steel. It can increase the thickness of armor while reducing the weight of the tank. 3. It shouldn't need a complex suspension to be that good. Panthers and Tigers are a failure because of the complex mechanical issues of the suspension made them unreliable. 4. The template of the tank would be a armored artillery piece with reliable modules. 5. There's no need a bigger, complex tank like tigers or Panthers. There's a bunch of reliable options to defeat tanks like T-34 and Shermans, for example mass producing more artillery guns or trucks with guns would help to solve the issue. Although it cannot help that these tanks can immediately kill trucks with impunity.

Well someone's never seen how much damage a wombat can do

I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie got the idea for the Scorpion from the XX20

Out of curiosity how does adding fans to a tank reduce ground pressure I understand reducing ground pressure by making the tracks wide but how does adding fans do that

Could you do a video on the arjun?

Can you make a video about field modded tanks? For example the Sherman with added armour made from concrete.

Ah, yes, the Stryker MGS, also known as "HOW THE FUCK DID I BOUNCE!?!?" in Armored Warfare

Oh no, Object 287 looks like it's coming to WT basically at any time. Too many modules already ingame, too promising.

I hope we will get this wierd Swedish centipede in WT
