If a bunker in the Siegfried Line is moving faster than a T-28 Super Heavy can go, something terribly wrong (or right depending on which side of the Axis you're on) has happened.

@keithstudly6071 5 месяцев назад

The GAA engine was a cut down version of what came to be called the GAC which was a V12. The GAF was an aluminum version of the GAA. The original Ford design was for an engine to replace the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Ford tried to produce it in place of (substitute for) the Merlin which is why Ford's contract to produce the Merlin was canceled and a new contract for the production of Merlin went to Packard. I have been told about 50 of the GAC engines were produced for T28 program and it was believed that the preserved T28's had them. If they really have GAF V8s that would conflict with most accounts.

I got to see this beast at Fort Knox years ago, it is very impressive as a piece of machinery. Not so practical but its is something that I will always have stuck in my head from the first time seeing it.

@kurttate9446 3 месяца назад

Considering its intended use, not such a bad idea. It wasn't meant to go roaming around the countryside looking for something to fight. It would be transported in parts to as close to its intended target as possible, reassembled, then trundle up to the fortification and blow the hell out of it. Too late for the European war but probably could have found use during the invasion of Japan considering the fortified positions found on the Pacific islands.

@MLN-yz4ph 3 месяца назад

This thing was a fever dream at best. It would have taken so much to just get it somewhere you could have had a dozen useful assets on the ground vs this. Yes it is a mechanical marvel, but was not remotely practical at any point in the war. This is what happens when people not in the real war think about what would work. @@kurttate9446

Chief, love these videos! Thank you! for your hard work. What was/is the ground pressure? Figuring 40 inches width, 42 if you count the gap between the tracks what is the contact length? It actually don't look like mobility would be as horrible as first impressions would lead one to believe. I visited this beast a total of 6 times between my graduation from Armor OSUT in '82 through a roadtrip with an old tanker buddy in either 2004 or 2009. (deployments, but Wife says 2009) IMHO AMOR BELONGS AT KNOX!

@KiithnarasAshaa 5 месяцев назад

Even at the most optimistic and aggressive testing regimen, I can't imagine this vehicle clocking more than about two continuous hours of driving at cruising speed per day on average. this would mean that it would have taken over a month before the testing was curtailed at 540 miles or 77 engine-hours at an average cruising speed.

@justforever96 4 дня назад

Luckily it was never intended to go more than a few miles through a fortification belt. Honestly the US was almost too fanatic about testing equipment sometimes.

Funny thing is, there "are" tanks without turrets, and tanks with wheels. It seems like "tank" is more a doctrine term (like "tank destroyer" which includes helicopters and MANPAD missiles) than a category. For example, the Swedish "wedge" Strv 103 is not only a tank, it's a main battle tank. It looks like it's a pure defensive weapon yet it was, by doctrine, supposed to be used in all roles a normal assaulting tank would.
