Hello, if you check carefully on the video at 5:36, you will see the two hidden propellers on the back of LVT. Some LVT purely rely on the tracks, however, most of the LVT will have hidden propellers or pump-jets either on the back of the vehicles or the rear hull.
The LVT entirely propelled by its tracks. It's mentioned in the Wiki articles on the LVT, but it's fairly hidden. "The LVT-1 was propelled on both land and water by tracks which were fitted with Roebling patented oblique shoes that gave good grip on land as well as good drive in the water." [the article later calls them grousers] The inventor of the Alligator, an amphibious rescue vehicle, that evolved into the LVT and then the LVT(A), tested various designs for his "paddels" to improve the speed when in water. The first paddels were just rectangular pieced of sheets of metal mounted to the track, the design was improved and the first production run had lightly bend paddels that were mounted diagonally on the track links (or every other track link). The second production run, which is the LVT(A), had many improvements, including further modifying the "paddle" into a "W" shaple. If someone interested in the development, look for "Alfred Dunlop Bailey (Major i. R., USMC): Alligators, Buffaloes and Bushmasters - The History of the development of the LVT through World War II." (which is published by the USMC as a pdf) edited, to add the source material
8:40 if you dive your nose into the ground with the brakes after landing it can entirely flip your plane upside down and you can't repair and rearm while upside down leading to a extremely embarrassing moment where you return to hangar because you flipped your plane on landing
I would love to play china in WT simply because their cold war to modern stuff is very interesting. My issue is that I don't want to have to replay through the american, russian and japanese tree to get to the interesting stuff.
Hey panzer, I recently joined your squadron. You should promote it you’ll get a lot of people to join and have a wonderful community you can play with.
i cant tell if you have your convergence on you aircraft set i set mine to about 400 to 500m with american planes this helps alot as all the bullets converge at that distance
Sort of. It depends on the composition. If it's a single solid material then that's typically referred to as a "slug". Most modern APFSDS contains a penetrator made of a different material such as tungsten. Hence this would be more closely related to armour piercing composite projectiles. Saboted rounds are also smaller in size compared to the barrel diameter, so that would be referred to as a sub-caliber projectile. That's why they have different categories. Hope this helps!
The reason why China is such a mix of russian, american and proprietary tanks is that there is no 'China' at all IRL Russian make - Peoples Republic of China - PRC - That's colloquially known as 'China' in real life American make - Republic of China - Taiwan - That's colloquially known as 'Taiwan' in real life Proprietary make - engineered and produced by EITHER the PRC or Taiwan You can easily see this if you check on the flags shown in the background of the vehicle ;)
China 6.0 is just a dream, you get the IS-2, the best T-34 in game, the hellcat, the SU-100 if you want someone REALLY dead and three solid AA choices and for CAS you get the P-47 and several other good fighters for anti-CAS
