Inside the Tanks: The Tiger I - part III - World of Tanks 

Dont break down

How in hell you are going to get a camera crew inside the tank? He's doing a good job explaining the works of the inside from the outside!

@@rickvelocity5578 have you ever heard of inside the Chieftans hatch?

@@rickvelocity5578 Right cause instead of taking 1 camera in the tank they need the entire crew. 🤣🤣🤣 The size of cameras have gotten very small in the last 100 years. You would be surprised. 😂

@@marcopolo2418 See ww2 technology think ww2 technology 😂

@@rickvelocity5578 I mean tbh when I click a video saying "inside the tank" I kind of expect some footage inside the dang tank for crying out loud.

Dont forget the blinker fluid.

lancelot1953 Yes, all damage that did not affect operation of the tank was left to show it's history of battle. The damage from the shot that was believed to have jammed the turret is amazing!!

***** Yes, this is a "one-in-thousand" lucky shot, the German tank crew thought that they would be torn to pieces and abandoned the tank - wars are filled with really strange minor episodes that had such impact on the battlefield later on. Peace be with you Turboslag, Ciao, L

Well, I doubt that capturing Tiger really had any impact. To copy anything in it would require a considerable amount of time. For example, how Germans were "copying" Sherman stabilization mechanism, but Germans being Germans, they were researching first in the world proper gun stabilization. I also doubt the actual cost of this finish. You see, making a tank will always cost majority of resources. Putting it together is most consuming process. Doing it well is only extra on top. Good comparison is with most projects. Lets say you have to present working project to someone. You can do it in three ways. Excellent. Average. Half assed. Funnily enough, half assed method takes up roughly 60% of time to accomplish as proper one. Since regardless of your attitude, you must grasp the essence and to offer sufficiently accurate response. This is similar in tank production. You either can make it properly or half assed and considering how expensive tank is as a combat platform. Making them for few hundred kilometers and then throwing them away is more inefficient than making one properly. Like in this case T-34 and Shermans were just a completely wasted effort the moment they would meet a Panther or Tiger which at the end of the war made up major part of German armor. Heck, even Stugs reportedly were too tough of the nut to crack for these tanks. So, due to their own technological unsophistication, every time then these tanks would meet, all the effort spent in making T-34 and Shermans would go to complete waste, because of their insufficient sophistication. It is like comparing T-34 to Abrams and telling that Abrams tank suck, because we can produce 20 T-34 at the cost of one Abrams!

Works pretty well, though. I have seen another video on YowTube that shows them crank up the big cat using the inertial starter. Also one of personel starting up an old Bf-109. I wish someone made those for automobiles.

They should see my 72 Super Beetle lol.

@@Imachowderhead, did you ever see a "souped-up" super Beetle? Man, they could do some crazy stuff with a VW!

Wargaming Europe yes mate

Lol

+Hilde Venegas Gotta love subtitles ! access !

I'm waiting for a "Inside the tanks" episode on my favorite tank in game: the soviet T-34 ;)

+Spyronite913 dem i hate the t-34, it's just hard 2 destroy the t-34

XxXxXiluminatiXxXxX Minekush They don't get many HP, but their gun is fine, sure ^^

+badweetabix Well I will be very honest here, the reason is simple the poor cameraman spoke no English.

@@WargamingEurope No excuse. There should have been a schedule of items to film. All they had to do was point them out to the cameraman.

Grammar Nazi it's pz III. The hatches aren't not on the hull roof

The MG42 was not placed in tanks because the barrel change needs to be done from the side.

+Henry soundso when you drive a tank the metal tracks rub up against each other they just wear out causing slack in the tracks, weather changes are normally not extreem but yes really hot or cold weather can have a effect on the tracks also dirt, ice and mud cause havoc on tank tracks

I don't know but historical documents indicate it was a notorious gas guzzler because of the very thick armor and its 88mm gun. I laughed when he said they use a dipstick to check the fuel level. I'd do the same. It would be unnerving to see a gas gauge swinging to the E right before my eyes!

It was common practice to use a dipstick back then for fuel. Even in a lot of cars. With a tank you've got pretty steady engine revs, depending on what kind of terrain you're in, but you basically are expected to keep track of the time you've been running and at what RPMs, and you can guestimate pretty well when the fuel is getting low. Basically, the driver knows that with a full tank he has (for example) three hours driving time at highway RPMs, with a half hour reserve. Once 3 hours and 15 minutes has passed, then you have to start worrying about just how much fuel is left. Like an aircraft, you don't mess around with the chance of running out of fuel, so once you've been running long enough that the tanks are sure to be getting down to empty, you pull back to a safer area and refuel, usually something that has been planned in advance based on the time they know the tanks can run (and preferably with stops to top up halfway through, both for the safety margin and because it is a lot faster to fill each tank from half to full than from empty to full...especially when you are filling up from 5 gallon jerrycans, which was pretty normal in the field). Coupled with the fast fuel consumption, you don't dick around with "I've got a quarter tank of fuel, so I can probably make it another 20 miles". You keep it topped up as much as possible and hopefully your unit has it all arranged so fuel trucks will be up to meet with the tanks in three hours, since you'll all be getting low by then. The dipstick was just when things weren't going smoothly and you either had to make sure you actually had a half tank left or weren't going through the fuel too fast for some reason, or to make sure that you could make it 5 miles back to the refueling trucks. Of course, things didn't always work out, and tanks did sometimes end up running out of fuel or trying to make it to a redezvous with only a small amount of fuel left. But basically, knowing how much fuel you had at any given time wasn't a big problem. You should be able to tell by watching the clock, and the only reason to check was to make sure fuel consumption was normal, or to guess just how long you could get before it ran out of fuel and you were forced to abandon it. Good to be prepared in that eventuality.

I'd say around 2-5 gallons per mile. And that's probably optimistic. An M1 Abrams is something like 8 gallons per mile, but they are very thirsty. An aircraft in WWII could easily burn that much fuel per engine, and a shitload of oil as well. Aircraft engines were rate in "pints of oil per mile", so there was a reason they had oil tanks as well as fuel tanks. Radials were the worst. Even modern jets burn a fair amount of oil; a jet engine can operate for a very long time if you keep adding fuel, so the ultimate limit to non-stop flying is oil capacity. There was two men who once spent something like 65 days straight flying around in a Cessna 172 for a world record (the things people do to get their names in the books!), and they had to have fuel, food and oil oil sent to them, if I remember correctly, from the back of a pickup truck speeding down the highway. They had it modified so they could top the oil and fuel off while in flight. Quite a story, and quite a testimony to the engineering in a simple old air-cooled piston aircraft engine (can't remember if it was a Lycoming or Continental). But I digress.

I am unsure, but I believe that this tiger is the only one which is fully operational, so I assume the guns work aswell. However I am unsure about it.

darklordnorge Yeah its operational. When they captured it, They took it apart, put it back together and fired it. and thats the way it stayed. and in 1951 it got handed to the museum as the way it stood.

Thanks for clarifying it :)

Correct, it is the one and only fully operational tiger left on this planet

+Drifter Knight i believe they used this tank in the movie fury cause it was the only one able to drive and handle the movie demands.

+Dixon Liang If you where to drive under it and detonate it would probably be bye bye tiger

Clearly depends upon the amount of explosive, type etc, but if it exploded underneath the tank it might deal quite a bit of damage

You are wrong diesel burns just as well as petrol when hit buy a shell. Plus germany didn't make diesel in its refineries. Also they didn't have ample supplies of aluminium for lightweight diesel engines like the soviets did.

Kim Welstead Kim Welstead diesel engines can have a positive air shut off, gasoline can not. Ive personally seen a few gasoline engines run away and burn up quite quickly in gas rich air. Between than and being a lot easier to start a diesel in -40 degree temperature Id prefer to be sitting in a tank that runs diesel. Very interesting though, id have figured 1940s germany would have refined kerosene.

ywe3 but tiger never have it.It have kwk 36L56

@@klongthamsae-jane5796 The Tiger 2 had the L71/ 88mm gun.

It's the only one in the world in working condition, so they want to be extra careful they don't drive it around when there's a potential problem and end up wearing down parts or having a catastrophic failure.

I guess thats why the Germans lost. Too many checks.

I saw the M3 Lee in the background

That's the British version, the M3 Grant

It's called "English" not "American", so don't tell us how it works.

They didn't at the time have a suitable high powered diesel and at that point in the war couldn't tool up to mass produce a new design. They did consider it, but it was deemed unfeasible and unnecessary

Because they captured it, if I was a soldier back in the day we will make the tank a souvenir
