The same man and his plane are found in another video, goes to show how legendary his work was

It's crazy how your animation has improved over the years. I'm honestly impressed.

Where's the support we asked for? Charlie in his spotter: I am the support

You see the bazookas underwing on a Cub and have to think, "No way, Rosie the Rocketer makes a cameo in this one?" But of course it's that guy. What a legend. Very impressive for four TDs to take out 14 tanks with only two knockouts and a mobility kill in reply, also. The Hellcat wasn't a popular machine in the army, nor did it see particularly wide service, so it's nice to see its moment in the spotlight. If I may make one critique of the video-your animations have progressed to the point that I would have expected to see the crew in the open tops operating the guns. These Hellcats had phantom loaders! Anyway, thanks for producing it.

Dodge is really stepping up their game

This has to be one of the best tank vs tank destroyer trades ever, 14 to 3. That's an extremely good ratio.

I adored the cameo of bazooka Charlie at 8:17. Great work! Edit: I was so surprised to learn It wasn't just a cameo! Amazing Story and Video!

Was showing my parents an animation that I made on my dog the saw the pop-up for Yarnhub! Clicked it when it had 33 seconds but thought “Hellcats” were the planes and was a little confused. The stories you can find are just amazing. Keep up the great work!

this was probably my favorite episode and I loved how the Hellcats and Rosie the Rocketeer worked together!

As soon as I saw the “53” on the side of the Grasshopper I instantly knew it was Bazooka Charlie’s aircraft! This story was fascinating!

The first Panzer IV scene is so incredibly eerie for such a simple scene, it’s incredible!

The 76mm Gun Motor Carriage M18 Hellcat might've had a very thin armour, but it's mobility and hard hitting 76mm M1A1/M1A2 gun made it a hard-hitting machine in the hands of experience tankers

6:13 Ah yes, the M1A1 Paratrooper *carbine.* The most famous "handgun" of all! 😂

This feels like an early christmas gift, Its always a treat when you upload! 5:38 was such an amazing shot, the way a shadow lumbers by is just *chefs kiss*

The Hellcat has always been my favorite WW2 tank destroyer. It just looks nice, and the turret gives it versatile options compared to casemates.

Yarnhub getting more and more detailed with the people and tanks it's amazing

Another outstanding video! When the generals go scouting ahead, I believe we see the most natural and beautifully animated scene ever on this channel; all walking and running animations were seamless and when behind cover, Dwight's excpressions and body language were near perfection. As I always say: you never seize to amaze us Yarnhub team! ❤

I remember watching your videos and they were only 2d, but now your animations looks better than most games

Always a treat when these guys upload. Not only has the animation improved, but massive props to the sound team as well!

8:32 love the Rosie the Rocketeer reference Edit: Woah no way, it actually was Rosie the Rocketeer!

I love how I've seen enough of theses that when I saw the spotter plane had bazookas on its wings, I was like, "Hay I recognized that plane, its Carpenter! One of my favorite medal of honor winners."

Would you ever consider covering the rest of the battle of Arracourt, where a vanguard force of Shermans from Patton's 3rd army mauled two Panzer brigades equipped with supposedly "Superior" Panthers so badly they ceased to exist as functional units?

The spotter plane is non-other than bazooka Charlie. He fitted six bazookas to the spotter plane as a close support aircraft like the a10

When I saw the scout plane somehow engage the panzer collum I thought "No way its the Rosey the Rocketeer" and thought its yarnhub doing some references but I was amazed it was actually Rosey. a bunch of legends in one video very good work yarnhub

Man in the past few videos I have seen people commenting on how much your animation has improved but in this video some scenes made me feel as if I was watching a movie.

Those weren't pistols the 2 officers were caring while scouting. They were M1A1 paratrooper carbines that were only issued to paratroopers during that stage of the war.

Arracourt was one hell of a fight. Greatest Tank Battles has an episode on it. Hellcats, shermans, tigers, panthers, bad weather, terrain, air support.

My father was in the Fourth Armored and participated in this battle

The animation when the shell hit the side armor... sweet. Also that plane with the rocket... rossie!

I was in a Bradley crew we deployed to Iraq in 04. My grandfather was in a tank in WW2. This was a great video. I literally felt like I was losing my platoon around me. Ida def been the one that went for cover. You can’t fight out in the open for long. Be the vehicle that survives and does as much damage as possible.

Just went back to watched the video on Rosie & the Mad Major again. I have to say you and your team are a breath of fresh air, positive interesting, unique, and most importantly passionate about the stories you cover. Truly amazing and underrated.

Your animations have changed so much! These are beginning to look like full on movies now. Keep up the good work!

2:59 and 8:48 beautiful shots right here, looks stunning and menacing at the same time!

Yet another fantastic video! Great work as always, Yarnhub!

Animation went from 2D to RTX ray traced cinema. Bravo Yarnhub, bravo.

The animation since the last I've seen one of these videos like the ambiences, the particles,the sounds and that lighting have improved drastically and I love it

Its actually Rosie the Rocketeer! I was wondering whether it was the same plane or not but it actually is! I absolutely love the new animations. They are so lifelike and so realistic, great job those at Yarnhub!

Me watching one of their first videos and then coming here: "Upgrades people! Upgrades!"

the way the panzer 4 is sitting while the light illuminates it shows how great the animation is and kindaf terrifying

Everytime i watch these animation videos, i always wished i know how to animate like this.

I'm impressed once again, the visuals have improved so much, you have made such a great strive towards 1 milion subscribers, you deserve it man, hopefully in the new year

Such a great way to remember the brave people who fought in world war 2 by telling their stories, very well done 👍

Wow the faces are incredibly well made. Good job guys

That scene at 3:02 is so badass I'm in awe

We've gone full circle now! Awesome work Yarnhub, and Merry Christmas!

"Yarnhub makes the most amazing, historically accurate and entertaining war videos on RU-vid" - General Patton (probably)

The fact that the American Hellcat tank destroyers were so effective is because of the 76 millimeter shells, that they fired, were HVAPs (High-Velocity Armor-Piercing) shells. The basic American philosophy for their use was as tank destroyers whereas our tanks were used to support our troops in various capacities and scenarios. Thanks; I really enjoyed this one.

This channel is like the infographics show but more entertaining and not dragged out.

The character models are so detailed!

Bazooka Charlie was with these amazing Hellcats then. Amazing collaboration by these famous heroes!

Imagine blowing up an enemy Panzer IV just menacingly standing there out of the fog, only for the illuminating fireball causing even more Panzer IV's to appear like an army of lemming clones, all just standing there as well.

that's so cool, you included Rosie the rocketeer! I never knew he was in this battle. Another thing is, your animation are getting so good to the point where it's almost hard to tell if its real, great job yarn hub workers!

The facial expressions are so good! They have improved so much scince I started watching. Keep it up!

Your animations are so insane now. Absolutely brilliant content.

Honestly an amazing story and the bazooka charlie reference made it even better :) that appearance was quite refreshing!

Man these animations have come a long way. It's the perfect mix of realism and cartoony graphics for a short war story and I love it.

Bruh yarnhub should give up on RU-vid and start making video games or animated movies. THERE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING LIKE WHAT THE HECK I REMEMBER WHEN THEIR VIDEOS WERE 2D. Another flawless video!

Thank you for telling us this story. And your animation looks absolutely amazing compared to when you started.

I remember this being covered in a documentary series called "Greatest Tank Battles" but it was a bit different. It showed Panther tanks engaging around 8 Hellcats.

Hi just want to salute you for the great and honest work in the videos. Please make a video on gustav railway gun.

The special effects, the details, geez Louise! You really have come a long way. RU-vid should be paying YOU to do their work for them! Because they can't hold a candle to you.

It's been a while since I've watched this channel and the improvement has blown me away.

Awesome video. Bravo Yarnhub

We have to make this man to 1m subs

Excellent content as always, yarnhub. And Merry Christmas from New Zealand.

This channel is like BBC Earth but for WW2 & I love it!

This is the 2nd video I've seen from this channel but it's already my favourite, I love these recreated combat stories, especially featuring tanks

Love the quality! Its a holiday gift!!!

I love your animations. I've watched you for more than a year and im really impressed by your videos. Keep it up 😀

Great video as always. Got the chance to see the restored Rosie the Rocketeer (the rocket armed scout plane) at the American Heritage Museum in MA last year. Had no idea it was there, but my kids and nephews were pumped to see the "crazy plane with bazookas all over it." Was surprised to find out from the awesome staff there that it was the real deal.

Fabulous explanation and animation! Much appreciated🙏🙏❤ I was exactly looking for this where I can learn these tales in history and that too in an animated manner. Thank you very much and keep going the good work! I really don't know why this channel is so underrated?

Is really epic how this changed from an 2d animations to 3d and now 3d realistic animations

The animation only gets better and better each upload, I love it! Keep it up yarnhub

At first I thought it would be a dodge hellcat vs a panzer IV

Nice to see tank destroyers get some recognition. One of my co-workers years ago had crewed one during the Battle of the Bulge.

This is such a heroic story, the real life "avengers assembled". :D

The quality has become too good. Also: CROSSOVER EPISODE! Great video

your epic videos are a Christmas present all in their own right! thanks for educating and entertaining us.

I believe the majority of the tanks the Hellcats knocked out that day were panthers but it is great to see this animations of my favorite tank destroyers which is probably the best TD of the war

So glad I grew up with yarn hubs 2D animations but dam these new graphics are better,

Holy hell Yarnhub, the videos youre putting out make it feel like you are there in the action. Great work

I know the quality of the animations have been steadily increasing but this stands out far above anything else so far. Looks amazing

When I heard you say there was rockets on the spotter I immediately thought of The Mad Major "Bazooka" Charlie.

The detail of the m1 carbine paratrooper and everything else is amazing

Your hair looks so much better. So is lighting. You use unreal engine for your videos, right?

This was amazing

crazy how yarnhubs animations have improved

The animation is getting better and better!

Cool 😎 definitely starting to look more accurate and a little more realistic ❤❤ keep up the amazing work ❤❤

Love to see the Panzer IVs getting some attention.

I'm covered in goosebumps, boys! YOUR BEST VIDEO YET!!!! You spared no expenses on this one! Great idea for your very talented narrator to do the VA work, and last time I mentioned the lack of slow mo tank shells....DAMN! Ask and you SHELL receive!!! 😉 Hahaha you really went all out and swiftly yet efficiently told a harrowing story with just the right amount of filler!!! A+ Lads I really mean it. This is definitely your best made video to date!!! This channel deserves 10x the views. My useless degree in film production only serves one purpose now of overanalyzing things that don't even deserve to see the light of day lol but I get a rush of endorphins when I get to not only watch one of your videos, but analyze your methods, improvements on your craft as well as seeing the editing decisions you make. It's a real joy for a cinephile who loves learning more about war stories that the """History""" channel" would never tell even in its "WWII Channel" phase. Definitely keep up the voice acting! It helps add A LOT of immersion and production value. I can't believe I'm saying this but if you had used just one more slow mo shell shot it would've teetered on too much, but it was perfect! I had an idea when you have a battle like this try a transition from following the shell to panning up and over the battlefield, I think it would be a cool way to give more perspective on where everything is placed during the battle also a way to give those shell shots a new look. Some channels focus on just the top down view of troop movement while others focus on either first or third person viewpoint. I think adding both would be a really neat way of showing the scale of battles as well as changing things up also teaching us how the men in charge chose to move their troops, and show what kind of tactics were used, which also gives you a reason/way to teach these types of formations and why and when they're used. It would also give the slow mo shell shots a new way to be used as transitions for 1st/3rd to bird's eye or you could even reverse it and show a tank from bird's eye then swoop down and follow the shell back into the battle. That'd be a badass way from going from a "quiet" logistical position to swooping back into the loud chaos of the battle. Sorry to talk your ear off, I just really love what you guys do and not that I think I'm better with film direction or anything like that but always having an outside set of eyes and brains to give a different perspective and ideas as always helpful imo I hope you find them helpful as well 15/10 guys Great Job with this one, knocked out of the park!!!

These animations would make great everything for a ww2 open world game

Your animations have changed so much as I have been watching through the years and it’s pretty cool I was just gonna mention wouldn’t it be cool to go see the wrecks of all these tanks

Yes another very nice Animation, Good work I can always see you improving and that’s good

what a epic animation getting better boys man they will make a movie out of animations

8:37 nice Rosie the rocketeer reference 👍

Its crazy how good ur animation quality has gotten. Love the stories

l have always been amazed how you manage to find these stories and bring them back to life. l love history and seeing your videos just brings pure joy and excitement. Great job!❤️💪

I have been a huge fan of you channel over the years. You just keep on improving, keep it up.
