Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: Jagdpanzer IV, Pt 1

They were the artillery... The "call in artillery" was a thing not applicable to many outside the US armed services and even they didn't have that luxury in all conflicts.

@@nirfz And sometimes our artillery has worn blue instead of green!

There reality was that most of the time there was no one else to call. Either you thought it out, ran away, or died.

@@nirfz maybe they shoulda been the US armed service and realized the effect non-directed fire can have if you have a good forward observer

@@nirfz they weren't according to guderian's doctrine...... ssd's in all seriousness though it's scary to think what the German tanks could have done with American doctrine (and obviously having the industrial capacity to match american/Russian/British production would have helped), I'm very glad that the German war effort was as limited as it was when these models came into production

I'm please you explained. I was trying to understand the unnerving feeling of Déjà vu. Then again I do have a high temperature and deep chesty cough. Hope I last long enough to see part two!

Ahh, i see, at first I was puzzled, confused, bewildered, dizzied, confounded, baffled, disorientated, befuddled, flustered, tangled, disheveled, cluttered, mystified, obfuscated, unsettled, tousled and snarled. And so was my thesaurus.

Yup, this is why I wait for the Chieftain's upload. I'd rather give my view to him rather than WoT. Might mean F all, but it makes me feel good

The plural of Panzer is Panzer 😀

hope he do polish tank LOL

"Trknsmpfsmrksdf and schmakljwerlzunad" that's a whole new Language invented right there Ü

Trockensumpfschmierung and Schnapper (magnet) -zündung try to say this when you are drunk. even as a german

@@-straenbegleitgrun-6499 That's the kind of words they INVENT when they're _drunk!_

Better then I could have ever done.

I really like the depth of knowlegde Mr Doyle provides.

For me, the trouble with a lot of Mr. Doyle's videos, the background noise sort of overwhelms what he is saying, especially if the camera man moves backwards. It may just be me, and my faulty old ears though....:)

Doyle did not make the impression he really wanted to be there. It was like pulling teeth with the guy.

@@Cancun771 Same here...

@@Cancun771 He might just be uncomfortable with having a full crew of people bossing him around and having a camera pointed in his face for hours. Which I'd say is fair haha

Is that roadwheel steel-rimmed anyway? Doesn't look like it but maybe I don't know what those look like.

@@mikewagenbach1787 the small wheels that are on the ground are the road wheels, the black rim around them is the rubber. And he was talking about how the rubber on the front pair of roadwheels was worn, but the video instead blurred them out and showed an irrelevant scene of the Sprocket wheel

*Schulungsfahrzeug.

@@txm100 *shulunfaarzug

If someone pays for the videos...

More accurately, you can't care less.

To be sure To be sure 😊

Genau junge!

even after losing the war, the germans still strike fear in the hearts of those trying to pronounce thier special words.

Thank you. I was really wondering what he was trying to say there. Any idea what the "Close defense weapon system" is?

@@DerBlechpirat you mean the thing he mentions at ~13:18? Close defense weapon system would be "Nahverteidigungswaffe" not so hard compared to the other words. Maybe it has some special name I don´t know.

@@godGottgod Nahverteidigungswaffe is a correct term, but applies to a later design. If we're going with something that was in use by the time these vehicles were built, there are two options; the Minenabwurfvorrichtung or mayybe the Nebelwurfgerät. The latter was pratically out of use by mid '43.

@@DornishVintage sorry to say this but the germans did indeed use this term. You can find it in Panzer Tracts 9 chapter about the Jagdpanzer 4 (p.23) and even in the glossary at the end.

There is a "Stug IV" of a sort. At one point the factory that made the Pz 3 hulls was bomb out of existence so the production of Stugs was switched to a different firm. The only trouble was that the new firm was making Pz 4 at the time so there were stug superstructures mounted on Pz 4 hulls resulting in a un-official Stug 4. :)

@@gusty9053 Stug IV production wasn’t “unofficial”, it was authorised right up to Hitler level in 1943. Over 1,000 were built or converted from a few damaged PzIVs. It was a drawing board/concept project at Krupps before StugIII production was crippled by bombing. The reduced StugIII production was, as you say, a big impetus to getting the StugIV into production. It had the advantage of being cheaper and easier to build than the Panzerjager IV, used a lot of StugIII parts and the comparatively plentiful L48 gun rather than the L70.

🙂

I believe he’s already been away from them for a few years now

Lmao if Wargaming doesn't, Gaijin will pay out the nose to get him

@@spencerw9784 This is a Wargaming-paid video. He's wearing a Wargaming shirt.

@@Galactipod Pretty sure these were unuploaded older videos sitting in a storage file

Louis Levesque what you said! Yes

JansenX12 He lived in Hessen, therefore might be reason that he has some difficulties pronouncing German. :-)

Grim Kupid sorry to hear that man. Hope you are doing well.

War Thunder is a lot better.

Sorry to hear that, Grim. Hope you have found a new thing that you enjoy!

@Mialisus, I'll thank the Navy for NOTHING!!! (heh heh USAF Zoomie) But seriously, I'm more interested in the manufacturing process which is private sector information rather than military.

@@thanksfernuthin it's no specific part but if you're interested, i have a couple pictures, one (1) showing a machining operation on a panther turret and one (1) showing another on a panther hull, plus a set of pictures showing the construction of a French AMX M4 hull (basically the early version of what would become the AMX 50t) it's all in here: mega.nz/#F!HK4VlK5I!CRfWqOyTCjmVf2xw4KgHrQ for armour, look up naval channels, as most developments were made for the navy, Drachnifel did a very good video on the development of armour since the ironclad era

Is that a positive, or a negative?

The tank museum has a good video on it.

25%+ casualties seems like a hell of a sacrifice just to get rid of one return roller. Hap Arnold and Bomber Harris were liabilities. Had the allies not had such a production advantage, they would have been sent to wall.

Haha, I was born here in 1979, raised here, and I still think it´s a nightmare... ;-) Really, it isn´t exactly the easiest class in school, and there is new stuff to wrap your head around until 11th grade, and it sucks! Getting bad grades in your native language sucks!

No they don't. This is a boomers myth. Power is power. The torque at the wheels/sprokett is set correctly by the transmission. So the engine torque doesn't matter if the power and torque curve is the same.

Yes and some of them also comes with Continental

The Germans were in a rush. They needed that vehicle on the battlefield ASAP. Germany was running rapidly running out of armored vehicles.
