We have been restoring military vehicles for the past 20 years, and in that time we have had all sorts of crazy things enter our workshop and so we thought hey why not film it? We don't just restore military vehicles through! We are also one of the worlds largest tank driving activity centers!
Armourgeddon is the only place in the world where you can drive, aim and fire in a tank paintball battle using real Ex army British tanks! From WW2 vehicles to guns we have it all! We have all this amazing stuff that we wanted to show the world so we decided to make this RU-vid channel!

My brother and I own an ex-Polish T-55AM. It is originally from -78, but upgraded and overhauled -95. They then mothballed it until 2015 when a Finnish collector bought 4 of them. We bought it from him last winter. It has that 520 hp (winter setting) ,580 hp (summer setting) normally aspirated engine. The composite armor came then, and can be detected of extra thick front plate in front of the turret, and turret side armor blocks, "Breshnew's eyebrows". It still has that 100 mm gun, the fire control system is Polish Merida, and it has laser warning system. The nuclear protection layer is inside, about 50 mm thick, and good luck trying to call from inside with a cell phone... The protection system senses gamma radiation burst and a pressure shock, and shuts down everything with small explosive charges. Which I will disable... It has those "new" tracks, but those do not have the possibility to use the "log" fastening kit, so the "log" must be fastened to the tracks by chains going around them. That works equally well ,though, I tried once. The improved armor underneath the front blocks the original fuel tank drains, and the compartment main drain has been mowed forwards, that means puddle of water and diesel on the floor just front of the driver's seat. As everything is allowed to leak "a bit"; there are guidelines how many drops/minute is allowed... As everything is in Polish, I am still trying to figure out some switches... The Ukrainian War has slowly doubled the prizes of T-55:s, so even bad ones are now around 200000 Euros, my brother made a good deal... Ours has 46 km's on the odometer. It came with the original service tools, about 100 kgs of them, wrapped in greased/oiled paper. It is just too fun... There is no way to just put the snorkel on and go playing submarine. It would take a day to seal everything enough, even though it has enormous bilge pump, it is not even fully rain proof...
I need to go there, I have to drive a pz.3 any one but mainly want to do the pz.3 J/P, ones. Russian I wanna do the t-34, cause I wanna get it into the final gear. Let's see if I was ment to drive it. Or if a gorilla was.
M4 was first developed in 1943 and saw combat in early 1944, T-34 was made in 1939, mass produced in mid 1940 and saw combat in 1941, later stronger variant of the sherman as said in the video is around 1944, while T-34-57 starts in 1943 and T-34-85 starts in 1944
I love the look of the tanns tracks not rolling, but rather being laid out for the wheels to go over them. It feels even better with shermans because of the flat track shape on the inside.
Thats a 105 Sherman which did not have hydraulic turrets, they were basically artillery and infantry support so they werent designed to hunt tanks so the speed of the turret wasnt as important.
The Centurion has already been in a very big film - way back in 1965, there was this little band from England called ‘The Beatles’ - anyway they made their second film called “Help” and as part of the movie, the Army had to protect The Beatles. There is a montage of The Beatles singing their song “I Need You” - which starts out with a close up of the front of the Centurion’s main gun. Then as the Beatles play and sing the song - which they’re recording out in a field - and wearing bits of Army uniforms - and several Centurions are patrolling around them. The clip is on RU-vid - not exactly a tank film - but there are several Centurions very much in this bit of “Help”
The sherman no contest. Sure the german tanks were big and imposing but one big imposing tank that breaks down in the middle of moving is no use against a pack of reliable cheap decent tanks.
Everyone thinks the M4A3 (105) is bad in War Thunder because of bad turret traverse and no stab. But heck I love punching holes in other tanks with the HEAT and blowing up AA with the HE
