@@YourAverageKriegsman 'the finest tank of its age'. I imagen that a Mk 1 had not exactly much competition when the first of its kind was build... So I guess it is technically true. the best kind of true.
Tanks CAN drift it just tends to throw the tracks immediately afterwards.... also they may have to be MBT era of tanks because I'm not sure if they go fast enough before then. Or older light tanks. a Luchs maybe?
Tanks can drift. Sort of but yea that throws the track usually... Tracks don't have very good grip on hard surfaces so its easy to throw a track in highspeed turns on pavement.
I think I heard that repairing or replacing a track takes like 2 hours minimum if not longer. From this one former British tanker. Maximus or something. I think he said that tracks were consistently the weakest part of any tank, and how steel tracks are a good way to ruin roads. Especially if they are old and cobblestone.
wr wr they were originally called land ships. They weren't always called heavy Tanks. It was a arbitration that was used. If you look hard enough in history or for ww1 tank photos you might see that arbitration.
It did lol, well IDK if it did or not but the managed to stay in formation... Logically the rest of the team would have to slow down with it... But that is like walking pace, slowing down for this thing is more of a liability than a benefit of an extra tank. Sicne they got to somewhere in a reasonable amount of time... I can only assume that they weren't slow...
I suspected a modification but I remember they said non-historical modification to the tank is illegal. Only consumables like fuel grade or additives and I guess extra radio equipment or some storage bins etc.
Feo the land ship must of been a model after the mark 5 in that case. Because some land ships had exhausts leading outside that carried the carbon dioxide with it, removing almost all chance of the crew being gassed. However it didn't help them against the heat.
Neurofied Yamato. Actually in the movie where they went up against the Pershings, the automotive club said that there must be historical accuracy but there were loopholes, like them being able to upgrade the Tiger tank's engine motors. So the loopholes might be applicable here as well, they may even have made the landship's engines lighter or more powerful, by using lighter and stronger materials like titanium to replace the the heavier steel engines.
I love that in the movie they used the Mark IV as bridge when bridge they were on was broken by enemy fire. it was hilarious seeing a Panzer 4 ride on top of that thing.
The tank they were riding made really sense. Before the name 'tank' was used, some people had an idea of calling it a 'land-ship' and it was suppose to be given on that WWI tank.
I do know that in the replica mark IV used for warhorse they fixed that problem. maybe these ones have those modifications too? I mean, that was mostly from using utterly terrible engines (I believe even for the time they weren't great) and very poor ventilation.
Cmdr frosty I know they used to call the MK1 land battleships, and given the fact that are characters are from the naval group. However a part of me feels like their going to be destroyed given the fact that their a First World War Tank.
Would be fuckin op as fuck man. Nah really though, due to the current rules of sensha-do, only world war tanks are qualified, although I would love to see my favorite MBT.
"I got a brand new shiny helmet, and a pair of kinky boots. Oh I got lovely flak jacket and a lovely khaki suit. And when we go on night patrol, we hold each other's hands.. *WE ARE THE BRITISH ARMY AND WERE HERE TO TAKE YOUR LAND* "
Ah yes I too want to have a heavily modified WW1 British landship. With suspension, a modern engine, basically better everything but keeping the shape of the tank
Well the special super-duper boron lining the GUP universe adds to all competing vehicles mean nobody has to worry... apart from when it's Miho almost getting her head taken off by a 6 Pounder shell 😅
You say that... yet quite a few WWI era Tanks featured [albeit on the losing side] in the Battle of France, and both Britain & Germany repurposed surrviving WWI era vehicles as airfield defence vehicles, improv' bunkers, and more.
I'll admit I shed a few tears the first time I watched that scene; s/he may be old and arthritic with naught but a few walking canes to whack stuff, but underestimate the Grandpappy/Grandmammy (seriously, the Mark 1s were split into 'male' and 'female' variants!) of all tanks at your peril--and god help you if they get great-grandpa Little Willie out his retirement home!
Yeah and the difference between male and female tanks are the guns, if only machine guns are mounted its a tanket (female) and if its got a cannon its male So grandpa
Male tanks had only canon. Females had only machine guns. Hermaphrodites had both. Then the British realized how silly this was & came up with terms like light tank, medium tank, heavy tank, infantry tank, etc, etc.
Hippo Team learned from the practice match with St Gloriana early in the series that having flags on your tank reveals your location to the enemy and makes you an easy target.
Thing is, that mast is part of the Mark IVs radio. So no matter if flag or not, it is not subtle. They could also send messages per pigeons of course, like the tanks without radio in WW1 did. :P (Not sure, if modified radios are allowed.)
I never seen a Mark IV with a radio mast on top. Radio were tested on a Mk.IV but it never saw combat. It was a experimental chassis, not a normal armed one. The experiments found that the tank was too loud and vibrated too much for the radio to be practical. The tanks sent messages by pigeon, semaphore flags, runners, and lamps. Even if it did have the antenna THAT long.... it's a lot more difficult to spot at range than a giant black square.
I know it's two years late, but they actually reference the fact in part 2, where Shark Team get taken out due to the flag, with Caesar and Erwin commenting on how 'History repeats itself'.
that would actually be a problem for the enemy since the TOG II* carriers a 17pdr and *the royal navy* with it... and we know that the Royal Navy doesn't give a fuck about your status unless it's colonization
@@princejuarez4473 The TOG II was a British heavy tank design that ultimately went unproduced. It was developed in the expectation that the battlefields might end up as a mess of churned-up mud, craters and trenches like what happened in the First World War, so they prioritised its ability to cross muddy, uneven terrain and penetrate bunkers. It had a 17-pounder main gun, 114 millimetres of frontal armour, 76 millimetres side and 50 millimetres rear, and was actually quite interesting from a mechanical standpoint: its tracks featured torsion-bar suspension, and it had a similar electro-mechanical drive system to what would be fitted on the Porsche Tiger - the engine drove twin generators that in turn drove electric motors that powered the tracks. It went through successful trials in May 1943, but the Second World War ended up being much more mobile than its predecessor, and the scenario the TOG had been designed for never came to pass, so the project was canned. The only prototype is still around though, as a static exhibit at The Tank Museum in Dorset.
Old tanks didn't break down because of lack of maintenance it was because of the horrible conditions they worked in that jammed anything more complex then a bolt rifle and sometimes those jammed too
syaondri The Mark I to V had been used throughout most of WW1 seeing battle in mid 1916 up to the closing of WW1 in 1918. However the Mark I was crap I mean it needed a steering device located at the back and it been known once the steering device was damage the crew basically halted to a stop since they are dependent on it however actually not needing it and the Mark III or IV had remove the device since it wasn't necessary Also not attacking you or anything but just clearing some information on the steel box
syaondri actually tne mark IV did see some limited and occasional use in WWII to various degrees.. .granted mostly as homegaurd auxileries and other limited and esotric roles but it saw some use in ww2
Lacuna Leora BS I have you know the German Empire can kill the damned crew like the many other British tanks they took. However making the German Empire into some type of anime is cruel at best
Fire Power701 Dude, this is Girls Und Panzer: a series where Japanese schoolgirls on school-ships engage in a martial art sport involving tanks: This has nothing to do with the German Empire. That being said if their was an anime about the German empire It would actually frankly be very interesting and engaging and frankly kind of cool, especially given that it could be given a lot of historicall references and be made with much more nuance, authenticity and respect then western media, much less western animation. Heck in strike witches: Karlsland is culturally speaking basically the WW1 German Empire in the 1940's with WW2 technology and tactics.
i would assume their 10th tank will be a T-34M or T-44-85 or 100. since Ooarai doesnt have any russian vehicles atm and they have currently 3 heavies, 2 medium, 2 TDs, 1 Light, and Duck Team's tank which calls itself a medium.
