Great to see a new video from you. Well done.

Superb video,many thanks.

Leyland.....Hitler's other secret weapon! 😱

Interesting point. its value as a moral booster. Leave it to the British to think of that.

I wonder if anyone from any country, thought...Lets just make a medium Tank for all rolls ? I get bridge requirements were important.

Way keep all the Advantages of this design with having the structural integrite of paper: Use F-ing Titanium Alloy instead of Aliminium Alloy! Nuff said.

It seems various tests gave different results due, among other factors, that early shaped charge fusing was often HELPED by piling on sandbags, logs, wire mesh

I seem to recall seeing one of these A30SP Avengers along time ago on a TV news program and wondering what it was. It did not have a gun in it and was being used for observation by the Israelis on the Golan heights or Lebanese border if I remember correctly. So this may explain why there's no record of there fait. As Israel was our enemy in the late 1940s early 50s(still are imo) but some high up in the British establishment would have been sympathetic to their cause. Or perhaps they just pilfered them, if the British army were not using them anymore, with a bribe here or there maybe.

People seem to forget that one of the reasons the Churchill was to be retired early was its lack of speed. And durability. They were shipped from Egypt to somewhere near the front line in Tunisia. The 75mm were at least a gun that allowed the Churchill to be useful. With only a 6 pounder, it was marginally useful.

Im pretty damn sure that the turret on the Charioteer used in the Thumbnail is actually at the Australian Armour and Artillery Mueseum. theres a few videos on their youtube channel where you can see a Charioteer turret with the exact same decals [214 and the Austrian Air Force Roundel] in the exact same place. its just up on a turret stand.

Great research! Thanks for this.

Can you cover the IS4 development please?

isn't it weird that Germany's largest tank class went from being called "Lowe" or "Lion" ot to being called "Maus" or "Mouse" ? I guess it's project's engineers making fun of how impractical it was

It's been a year, have you decided to no longer make videos?

Hm, if memory serves, this remarkable vehicle was last seen in use in the.....wait for it......1990s in the Middle East where it found employ with the respective factions.

Did all of these tanks went to combat or it failed

A job well done coming in from America here. I'm commenting because Cone of Arc suggested to check you out while citing you as a source in one of his videos. I love this factual type data and hope there is more to come. So you have earned one of my rare subscribes. Thanks.

Thank you for your hard work to bring us the history of this tank and searching out photos to show us all. Whilst enlightening, the mix of roles of tank destroyers and tanks is as you say very confusing. The distinction of whether the FV is supporting infantry seems pointless as this must ultimately be the case in order to hold territory and win. It is also the case if a battle becomes defensive, because armour would be expected to cover a withdrawal.

Last video. RIP

Weird isn't it? All I remember Nuffield for was publishing all the science text books I used at school in the early 1980's....gods, I'm getting old!

It would have been a good tank if it had been properly powered and been ready for D-Day 6th June 1944!

Uncanny, i was walking out the front of a Rhem factory in Australia just 20mins ago before watching this video

Isn't there suppose to be a Part 3 to this series to cover the light vehicles armed with Malkara missiles? Was it unlisted?

I served there 2 years 1970s c range . Kings bks townhead kirkcudbright 2 RTR

That's me :)

As someone who has myopia (and sits too far from the screen), i can testify that the barrel camo works. I guess i could've been a german tankhunter

Is there a specific page on the Interim report on chemical armour methods of defeating shaped charges. Report No. M.E. 4(a)16. September 1944, Im unsure if Im using the right document due to me trying to line up the document and photo at 5:29

Okay maybe the production was not 290 but I think the prototype where they were testing out the thing might have been because the one where they're testing out to see if it would reach it had a sandbag that went backwards when the round went forward and if you elevated the gun high enough the sandbag would actually go into the engine bay when the gun was fired

Warthunder when?

who else wen't to warthunder to see if they messed up too? xD (its 230mm in the game)

Trying to hide the fact that it's the firefly with its 17 pounder gun. The firefly was the No.1 target for German tank gunners as the knew it could penetrate the armour on a german "big cat". The 76 mm gun on the standard sherman was not a real threat to a german big cat.

Restore 1000 Saladin Restore 1000 Saracens Restore 1000 scorpions Restore 1000 scimitar Restore 1000 Spartan Restore 1000 warrior Boxer APC Ajax APC. All much better protection than thin skinned Landrover.

As an American I have to say I really prefer British designs for tanks from a strict visual profile. British tanks for me just look exactly like what I imagine tanks should look like

War Thunder got it right.

The 290mm stand for how far it can shoot.

Freaking boring. Not even a film. Just a bunch of pics.

Im a bit late but what is the A37?

I’ve always heard it as 230mm, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it called a 290mm

I come here after snail will put this to dismantle early-mid war tanks within efficient 180m range

Proud Iraqi🇮🇶⚡️

5:50 8:55 "They sure can do what every other tank in the game can do" - Zwhatsh, wheel that can't turn

WHO ELSE IS HERE FROM WAR THUNDER ? ? ?

Just needed a better engine

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great machine beautiful trucks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ugh, sent to a scrap yard...

When is part 3 coming out?

A great account. Keep up the excellent work my fine fellow.

One of my favorite tanks, it just looks awesome even more than many over awesome looking tanks but, I just love the looks.

The question has to be, was this directly because of the restrictions after Versailles and the industrial stripping out and subsequent shortages.
