The word Waffenträger may cause you to shudder remembering a tank capable of wiping out an entire flank in moments. And while the real German designs may not have reached that level of sheer absurdity, they make up some of the strangest designs of the second world war.

@tgc_-369_ 3 года назад

I have heard 126mm pak for artillery, anti-tank, and tank destroyer but not a 150mm pak for any vehicle or machine that had a V-auto loader six to four rounds. If the barrel of the diameter is bigger than 150 mm it is not called a pak for ground targets nor flak for sky targets it would be a like the sturmtiger or somthing else in german with a big gun on a tank design to destoyer heavy targets like bunke, navel ships, and light targets with a high explosive.

@@LTPottenger well the road to m4 medium was a short and rocky one. the us isolationism and separation from the military technological advancements spawned several strange children like the m2 medium tank, the m3 (lee/grant) medium tank. they were strange at best and awefully designet. the m4 was the logical progression and developed in a hurry from the inadequate and awkward m3 to have a proper medium tank for the moment, when the land forces would clash with the germans and japanese. the m4 had a long list of teething problems, but matured quickly (under combat experience pressure) into a very fine tank. there are other more strange adhoc projects in the us army at that time

@billwilson3609 3 года назад

@@zhufortheimpaler4041 The US Army didn't bother with designing tanks between the wars since it was cheaper to purchase tanks made by other countries for testing and teardowns to analyze their systems. Ike and Patton did that together at the Army's first armor training base where they tore tanks completely apart (including the engines and transmissions) to examine each part and determine the difficulty of repairs during re-assembly while smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. Both were advocates for J. Walter Christie who produced produced innovative prototypes for the US Army. Once the US Army Arsenal and Ordnance started designing tanks they came up with designs that were superior to what others were using in 1941 and for the rest of the war.

reminds me of some of the late war japanese tank projects, especially the 75mm Type 4 AA (which eventually became a semi-autoloaded AT with the designation type 5 75mm). The type 5 guns would've found their way into late war japanese tanks such as the chi-to & chi-ri had it's prototype been completed. I would like to see an overview of it at some point, as while the stationary AT gun would've featured an autoloaded, it's unknown whether it would've made it into the chi-ri, and it didn't make it into the chi-to for sure. Those late war tanks had the ability to become some of the only well designed japanese tanks.

@comatose3788 2 года назад

I've been playing this tank in World of Tanks for 9 years. It's by far my favorite tank. You have to be very careful as it has no armor. But, the gun is a true sniper. 300 yard shots are nothing for it. I never knew it was a paper tank till now.

@SomeOrdinaryJanitor 10 месяцев назад

i think the Ardelt-Krupp design was the best possible design, as it is essentially a self propelled flatbed with a standard 88 on a field mount. i think the Pz.IV Waffentrager could be a both cost and combat effective use for the remaining Pz.IV hulls after it was discontinued.

Given that that the german 75mm killed everything the allies fielded in significant numbers the only point of a wafenträger would deploy a number of field fortifications in a somewhat hot zone, the only advantage of a wafenträger vs a towed ATG that it can use the gun while heading for the deployment zone so its no wonder that none were produced in number. and given the base vehicles used for the most parts probably the Stug III could do most of its role much more cost efective (wich showed in its service record)

Great selection of music! Matches perfectly with the visual Drama of the pictures! To whose is that Music used in the video?

Leichter Einheitswaffenträger has 2 meanings as Einheit can mean either "unit" or "unity" and the unity sense meaning one of "standard fit" basccally a base upon which you can mount different pieces of equipment, which all have a standardised way of connecting to the mount.

Prototypes like this were common in the Axis factories , check It out the Ansaldo 9 0 mounted on the chassis of the tank M15 .

4:22 Notice the gun. There is little lines on it and those are kill marks. There is 18 lines which means 18 kills. That’s a lot considering this thing has no armor and can literally be taken out with a pistol.

8:00 arrr yes the good old Skorpion G that one tank that always somehow manages to blind shot me in Bushes

@nathaniel1207 3 года назад

you should do the Sherman VC firefly. The Guns too big? put it in sideways, Radio wont fit? Cut a hole in the back and have it stick out the back, Engines no good? Take 5 Car engines and put em together!

how dare you have the GREATEST tank ever made the Bob Simple shown listed as a "failed tank".

@chunkysweirdtoaster3081 3 года назад

I am amazed that no one said anything about the Bob Semple and "failed" being displyed at the same time

What is extraordinary is that the Panzer truppen already had the basis for successful heavy self-propelled guns of the heavier calibre in the Dicker Max and the Sturer Emil. Had the Sturer Emil been redesigned with an armoured casemate around the gun it would have still been light enough to be mobile. The jagdpanther was a perfect TD mounting the 88 Pak 43 L71, with the Panther and Pz Iv carrying the highly effective 75mm Pak 40. The entire tiger serious was superfluous and a waste of resources. Had the Germans standardised their tank force down to just two-three chassis and wheel configurations, then production would have soared, and maintenance far easier. The Russians Basically used the T-34 and KV designs for all their later medium and heavy tank and assault gun designs, making it far easier to find spare parts. The problem for the German designers was they just didn't know when to stop experimenting to find the perfect design and kept building bigger and heavier vehicles with ridiculous armour protection. So many were lost to break downs and minor damage that it was a travesty to see a fresh King tiger with a broken track simply abandoned because of a track problem.

I'd love to see a CbD video on the early-war Russian T-28 medium tank

@Rubashow 3 года назад

Strictly speaking, Panzerjäger I, Marder II, Marder III and Bison would be the first Waffenträger. They are the same concept, except in name. Still your video is really great and I enjoyed the research you presented. Keep it up.

I was waiting for the mentioning of the RHM-Borsig with the lengthened Pz38 suspension (the one in WoT), but oh well

@matthiuskoenig3378 3 года назад

he did mention it but only very briefly (3:29), he just didn't link it to the RHM-Borsig in game. but these medium ones are the ones that were to get 5-6 road wheels, and that is the version in wot

@MegaJani 3 года назад

Yes, I got that. I'd have mentioned it tho, because it's at least as known as the WT E-100...

@robertstarke8610 Год назад

I was stationed at Sill and saw the grasshopper if yall are ever in oklahoma for whatever reason get a pass go on post and check out the field artillery museum it has a lot of cool different tanks, gun carriers, and artillery pieces.

@milanondrak5564 3 года назад

I can't figure out why it was considered that stationary artillery delivered by tracked vehicles is a better tactical asset than mobile artillery mounted permanently on a tracked base.
