The "King tiger looking thing" Is actually the Porsche submission for the King Tiger. Except Henschel won the contract(again) but a couple of those Porsche turret designs were already produced by Krupp so they were mounted on to the Henschel's hull design as the pre-production. The rest were entirely henschel design that you are more familiar with.
Neurofied Yamato yes they were classified under the infamous VK series I personally have been fascinated by the 4502 A and B and am glad you posted the info for new people too learn about it
I'm pretty sure the tank you mentioned to be amphibious was actually designed to survive a nuclear war and was developed in 1959 with the extra tracks being for better cross country performance and the shape of the hull to prevent the vehicle being overturned by a nuclear blast (of course that wouldn't really help the crew inside if the blast was close enough) the soviets only made 3 prototypes before Khrushchev made it that the soviet military would not adopt tanks of 37 tons as he was more i favour of missile tanks such as the IT-1 (a conversion of the T-62).
Yes you are pretty much spot on. the tank is called Object 279 and it was designed to go into nuclear fallout unaffected and continue fighting where no-one else would be able to continue fighting in.
yes two Maus tanks were completed however they didn't see combat. One was destroyed by the Germans and the other was captured by the Russians before the Germans could destroy it. The surviving Maus exists today and is in the Kubinka tank museum in Russia
Alternate history scenario: October, 1943 After the disastrous loss of North Africa, and the horribly botched invasion of Russia, German high command successfully carried out a coupe, culminating in the disbanding of the Nazi Government, and execution of senior 3rd Reich officials. Now with Germany once again controlled by competent men, the Wermacht rallies against the Allied onslaught, combining strategic withdrawal and calculated counter attacks to stem the tide. The Axis is reorganized and priorities are put in order. The Fatherland is battered, but he is not yet beaten, there is yet hope for the future of Germany...
I did something like that in Hearts of Iron 3, except I started in 1936. Kinda stuck at 1938, though. I already took most of Europe and made Russia surrender everything west of the Ural mountains-- So I'm thinking of taking Turkey, Austria and Czechlosovakia. And then I still need to figure out what to do for another several months because I can't do a thing to Britain until the First German fleet is completed (ETA 1940). I might make Sweden, Finland, Norway, Spain and Portugal puppets with that extra time. (That means ALL of Europe will be Axis.) America will be the biggest challenge. If it takes too long, then I'll nuke them.
Policecar What does making a suggestion on RU-vid have to do with CoD? Besides, last I checked, 12 year olds were all jumping on the hate bandwagon for Infinite Warfare because it actually innovated a little.
Draconis The Wyvern "I want as much armament on it as possible, make it long aswell" "But sir, it wont be able to turn!" "It does not need to turn, it will drive straight to Berlin" -Stalin 1943
Draconis The Wyvern Yep, they tried crossing a valley with the KV-6, they got stuck and the sheer weight of the KV-2 cupola in middle literally broke it in half. Some say there never was any prototype, but instead false reports to "scare" the germans.
DiplexHeated If I wanted to watch waves of people and equipment run towards enemy defenses one wave at a time and get slaughtered, I'd watch a WWI documentary. How can you think that doing what you're doing is entertaining? It's the same mistake that you got chastised for in your video featuring the Russians attacking the German superfortress.
Diplex. Battle idea. 2nd Battle of Verdun, 1946 U.S and British Armored Corp and Anti Tank Battalions are resting in the city of Verdun after a failed push to head to Aachen about 1 week earlier, and German scout planes have spotted and reported this to a nearby Armored Corp and S.S Battalion are ordered to move up and eradicate or force a rout of these U.S and British combined forces, and secure the city of Verdun. Orders: 1. S.S Battalion Sappers are to sneak in and destroy fuel reserves for the tanks, so they must be set in one spot, or abandon them during a reat. 2. Artillery fire is to bombard forces on the outskirts, S.S infantry is to advance when done so. 3. Armored Corp moves in and attacks the city head on. Vorwarts, kameraden!
The year is currently 2023 Tuesday January 29th 12:05A.M at the time I’m typing this… this is the videos that got me through my childhood thank you diplex
max ackley they not horrible tank they are a tomb on tracks if you put a maus in front of a T28 well the crew would have more chance to penetrate a concrete wall with a stick than penetrate the armor of the maus
@max ackley at it's time, it actually was a solid concept for a breakthrough tank. that large amount of machine guns and a larger caliber gun than the typical 45mm's could easily push through bunkers and infantry defenses. emphasis on "early war" though lol
German tanks have heavy armor all over the front except the the lower plate on the hull, the way they were positioned they were hull down or their lower plates were covered making them pretty much impenetrable. Awesome video show casing the German war machine!
Well if its alternative history then the Germans should be able to actually produce Die Ratte. Any chance that makes it into a video? We've seen British landcruisers and we've now seen Russian landcruisers.
All the people that are complaining about the names and types of tanks that have been used, please get a life. These videos are for entertainment value only, they are not history lessons!! I I would just like to thank DiplexHeated for all his efforts in trying to entertain us, it is appreciated by the majority of your viewers. It takes hours and skill to put these videos together and instead of complaining about them, just enjoy them. If you want to see historically accurate videos, then make your own before you complain about anyone else's. DiplexHeated, thank you for making these, and I look forward to your future ones.
I saw this map (or a similar one) in the game Faces of War. The concept of modification has been around for a very long time. In the modification of "Faces of War" the red army was attacking. The Germans defended themselves with capture or experimental equipment. Such tanks as (Firefly, T-34 etc.) and Panther II Jagdtiger and many others. It was a long time ago, because as you know, Faces of War is practically unplayable. I love all parts of this game. Soldiers: Heroes of World War II), Ossfront (many parts), Faces of Wam, Men of War, Men of war 2.
This is incredibly entertaining! Thanks for the great vids and Happy New Year to you Diplex :) I know this is a fictional setting (which kicks asses), but can't help to mention that in a more realistic setting the Soviets would definitely soften the defence with immense artillery fire. Even if the air bombers couldn't get to the compound they will probably mass 1,000s of heavy arty and Katyushas. We see how effective these are :) Again this is so much fun to watch. My only gripe is I want to see the footage of the attackers and defenders at the same time to see what happens at the time of the fires and counter-fires. Of course this is difficult and I dunno how you could achieve that lol.
Just so you know, they only built 2 Maus tanks, which never were used in combat, they were still at the testing grounds, when the Russians over ran the base. The tank crews blew both tanks up, by packing explosives inside. Which cracked one hull, and blew the turret off the other. The one Maus that is on display, was made by putting the good hull, and the good turret together, no motor or transmission, and no breach for the gun. They have a video on RU-vid about it.
Maybe a more clandestine approach is necessary. As for alternate history what if Patton got his way and everyone went against the USSR or the USSR allied with the Germans.
why wouldn't you spread the attack out, it was just a cluster fuck and you knew it. You already know the Russian would of won this. I don't usually comment on your videos don't get me wrong I love your work but this was child's play.
Oh, the King Tiger variants that you used are VK 45.02 (P)'s. If you know the competition for the original Tiger tank, the designer that lost (Ferdinand Porsche) was competing with the Tiger I successful designer Henschel for the Tiger II design. Porsche's design had 2 hull configurations, one with the turret in front, and one with the turret on the back (the model you used). Porsche lost, but he already had some turrets manufactured. So they were used on the first Tiger II tanks made by Henschel. However, props to Porsche, he did design the Maus and got that approved for development.
I'm sure you've heard it, but you really should do some research on tanks before presenting them and not knowing anything about them. Your tanks start with a T-44-100 a tank that did exist, followed by T-28's, a tank made before WWII with such a low velocity gun that it couldn't penetrate a Panzer IV reliably. Then you follow it up with T-44-122, and fucking Object 279, a tank made to withstand a nuclear blast. Then KV-4's/5's which are fine, then SU-100M1's and SU-122-54 tanks. You also have IS-3's and IS-4's. It doesn't stake long to google a tank you don't know anything about, and look at the basic attributes of the tanks, and you may learn something.
Not to mention he kept putting little waves of 6 tanks up against something like 6 to 1 odds. I'm going to make a safe assumption and assume he's not a militaristic genius.
4:24 That's an Object 279. Only three built around 1960 designed to withstand a nuclear blast. The project was abandoned when the USSR decided to stop building heavy tanks.
The Maus never saw combat. Two prototype hulls and one prototype turret were completed before the soviets captured the facility it was being built in. They captured the prototype, which is still in the Kubinka Tank Museum today. However, save for the tracks, it's completely empty on the inside, It's a hollow shell, no engines, no visions slits, no crew compartments whatsoever. Also the KV-6 was made-up by a hobbyist melding some kits together and never even remotely existed... looks threatening, though :3 And the T-28 was fairly early-to-mid-war, though not with that particular turret. That turret was designed in mind for the tank to be up-gunned with the longer and more powerful 85mm gun.
4:23-That is obyekt 279, otherwise called a martian tank. It's designed to fight on a nuclear battlefield, resist the shockwave of a nuclear bomb, and breakthrough the enemy's frontline. But it never made full production due to cost, complex systems, maintenance heavy, difficulty traversing swampy terrain, too high of a profile, and the heavy tank concept was outdated by that point.
@Der Engelritter we did have some note worthy experimental weapons and some advanced weapons that where given limited deployment. We had the T28 heavy SPG with a 105mm gun. the T29/34 105mm gun heavy tank. and the T30e1 auto loading 155mm gun heavy tank. the T31with a 105mm gun 182mm rotary rocket launcher equipped along with a flame thrower 50cal gun, and a 30 call gun. The T32 90mm gun medium tank.the Sherman jumbo based T33 with a 75mm gun and flame thrower in the turret. There was the yb40 flying wing bomber. and the P80 shooting star jet aircraft that was deployed in Italy but did not see combat. We also had some crazy weapons that actually where used in combat. Like the A20 havoc's with a 75mm cannon and the Sherman calliope rocket tank. All of the vehicles i mentioned where made before 1945 and all are real vehicles no blue print or paper tanks.
Only 2 Maus were ever constructed, and only one of those was fully complete. It was blown up before the advancing soviets could capture it. What was left, the soviets cobbled together, this is the Maus at Kubinka.
I'll just correct you a little, the Maus never saw action. When the Soviet forces reached the factories of the Panzer kampfwagen VIII Maus they found one Maus chassis with a wooden turret stuck in mud which was most likely used as a generator for the V2(It was called V1) and one (V2) which was fully operational (to an extent) which had the first produced turret (meant to be fitted with the secondly produced one). The V2 was later found in front of the bunker Maybach I on the Hindenburgplatz and later destroyed the chassis by placing charges in the engine bay and fighting compartments.
The tank you said looks like a King Tiger looks like one because technically it is one. It was Porsche's answer to German High Command's call for a successor to the Tiger 1. However, it was never accepted... instead, the Henschel prototype was chosen for production.
That tank with the quad tracks is the obyekt 279. 1950's-60's design. It could survive an indirect tactical nuke. 130mm naval gun and should have a DShK.
The ufo looking tanks is the nuclear proof tank called the object-279. It is supposed to survive a nuclear blast and the armour is like 300mm at a steep angle which makes the effective armour like 500mm +. Also, it's the IS-3 not IS-5. Waffenträger auf Pz IV and the tank next to the E-100 is the VK 45.02(B), SU-100M1 and SU-122-54.
The "KV-6" wasn't an experimental tank: It's a model someone built from several plastic model kits and then wrote a fake background for. Even Soviets didn't originally come up with that one.
4:23 that tank was created by the Russians in order to fight in nuclear conditions during the Cold War. That means in this universe nuclear weapons were used yet the war persisted
Pretty sure your ''amphibious'' tank at 10.59 was an obj 279 developed about 15 years after any of the german tanks in there that were actually produced, they only started designing it after the war.
The ones you are calling King tigers, are Vk 45.02's I believe. They have them in world of tanks, very good frontal armour and decent guns. I like watching the russians get wrecked tho. Brings joy to my heart!
Meanwhile in the German headquarters: Officer: General, we have a number of tanks available. What would you have us do with them? General: Put them against a wall and on top of the wall where they will stand perfectly still for the duration of the battle. Officer: But isn't the point of a tank to be mobile? General: shocked Pikachu face... Not that I know much about military strategy but it seems counter-intuitive to have tanks and use them as glorified anti-tank guns (or place them on top of a wall where their silhouette can be seen from kilometres away). And - I know this would require a capable IA or a human player and a larger map - it would be interesting to have them flank around the attacking force and try different tactics to take away the advantage of the attacking force.
1979....kids had playsets like Guns of Navaronne ....thought" this is heaven" 2018 .....kids get to play video games of the dreams of kids playing Guns of Navaronne and toy soldiers . You have now tapped into another dimension ...of what kids dreamed games would be 30+ years ago .... How lucky we are
The only complete maus model engaged in combat with the Russians to defend its factory. It's crew destroyed and abandoned it so the allies couldn't capture it.
That ufo looking tank is called the object 279 it was designed as a nuclear resilient tank only one out three ever built still exist but it was supposed to operate in nuclear war conditions
Diplex please continue this alt history thing, I Want one of the following: -German Special forces attempting an assassination of Stalin or some other allied leader -An old walled town being turned into a german citadel with allied attacks
force multiplier means you need 10 X the attackers for a defended position, so, germans entrenched with 10 tanks, means you would have needed 100 tanks, not 48.
It still bothers me. The T-28 was an early war Russian medium tank. It was seen as a waste due to excessive machine guns, broke frequently, and was too slow to be effective at times.
