Really great presentation and here is a little more info. In 1943 the Allies decided to build Heavy Assault tanks for the attack on Germany, the US built the T-28 and the British the A39 Tortoise. The T-28 was the larger of the two but its development was more protracted. The British 78 ton Tortoise was ready sooner and 6 Pilot tanks were being tested 1944-45. Tortoise had armor up to 9 inches thick and mounted an 84mm 32 Pounder gun, which held records for armour penetration not bettered until the L7 105mm APFSDS in the 1980s, Powered by a 650bhp RR Meteor engine, speed was 12mph and when tested in Germany 1945-52 mobility was found to be quite good. But it was retired with one still running at the Bovington Tank Museum.

The Bovington Tortoise does not run anymore. Had a issue and rather then break it further, they stopped it running. Would cost too much to repair so it just a display piece now. Think next one to stop running will be Tiger 131 as she no longer does tank feast due to wear and tear. Once she gets to a state they not happy to continuing running her, they will say no more and just display her. Better to save them then destroy them.

I've played war thunder and WoT and have never understood if there were two models or just multiple names for it. So this really helped clarify it for me. Thank you

It'd probably make very little impact even if used for the job designed By the times these things arrived to take down fortifications, bombers and churchills AVRE and Crocodiles probably cleaned up already

I think they should put 105 mm gun of sherman 105 and combine that gun with sherman jumbo instead. By that, at the end of the day, they could get more jumbo 105 rather than a faw T 28 to deal with bunkers.

The MOST WELL-KNOWN prototype in history? I'm 55, been reading history since I was 10, served in my countries Armoured Corps, AND NEVER EVER heard of this 'FAMOUS' supertank until now. Not even a footnote or mention of it. Besides, they put the requirement out only in September 1943! There was absolutely no way to get a working squadron or platoon of T28's ready prior to 6 June 1944. If the requirement had come through in 1942, then it would have been a viable project by '44. From a concept, to R&D, to testing and the inevitable modifications, to drawing up maintenance and training specifications and then the manuals, to actual training of troops was impossible in the time frame given, for it to be used at Normandy. Sure, the objective was changed to accommodate the approaching Maginot Line, and then the Siegfried Line, but honestly, whoever decided at that late stage to proceed with this project should have been investigated like Howard Hughes was, regarding the Spruce Goose.

If the T28 was in fact a modified turret, and track/gearbox mod for a Sherman hull, maybe it would have been used in Europe by the Engineering Corps and disassembled when not in use. As a unique machine with unique logistic requirements, it never was going to face combat unless the Germans somehow managed to force the western front into trench warfare. But There were not enough soldiers fighting on the western front and the Germans focused on Montgomery and hoped to defeat the invasion near the beaches to cut the logistics of the whole force. And they lacked the manpower to be everywhere at once. The fortifications the Germans hoped to use were supposed to be held by strong garrisons, and they simply did not exist at the time they were challenged.

Although hindsight tells us the German fortification network failed, it was still smart to design a counter in case things did bog down there. The last thing you'd want is your army to bog down and have to grind for a couple years in trench warfare whilst you design a complex new tank.

Very food video! Also, I I appreciate the explanation of the designation misconceptions!

How it ended up in the bushes is easy to figure out.... time travelling War Thunder players hid it like the in game variants

Poultry speed? Fast as a chicken.

About tank design circling around back to superheavies... I wonder if any of the makeshift turtle tanks Russians started using in Ukraine came close to 90 tons... They sure look like it, with basically whole sheds being built around the tank proper to defend from drones and transport troops. They also usually sacrifice the ability to turn the turret, making it a surprisingly close analog to T-28: an effectively turretless, super-heavy breathrough tank. xD

@jarink1

No way the current Russian "turtle tanks" come close to the same weight. T-72/T-80s start off around 45 tons (give or take, depending on the exact model). Adding a bunch of sheet metal and framing probably only adds a couple of tons. For comparison, a full coating of Kontakt ERA is less than 2 tons.

Is it me or does anyone else miss the original Cursed by Design intro with the Porche Tiger getting knocked out?

American engineers racking their brains on what the designation of their super heavy tank should be, only to have the players of a military MMO call it a "tutel" 79 years later: (That channel mascot 😳)

Alt-timeline where the T28's _were_ landed on D-Day: *Pros:* •Walking pace and wide tracks would've led to excellent integration with infantry combined arms, possibly. •Normandy hedgerows no match for ... Oh, it's stuck and we don't have a recovery vehicle big enough X-) *Cons:* •To be delivered on time would've meant pulling designers and resources from other things in the zero-sum wartime Allied economies -- so, possibly no A-bomb or Liberty ships •Logi's trade-off math: (1) T28 ≈ (7) M4 at the beachhead, if your landing ship doesn't capsize *_Seven M4 Firefly's!!!_* •Low speed means that it simply can't exploit a breakthrough even if "breaking through" _was_ the design requirement • WWI's -mistskes- _lessons learned in how _*_not_*_ to attack fortifications_ (like Verdun omg) led to WWII doctrine of _bypassing_ strong pockets of enemy resistance, in Europe and the Pacific at least (N.A. was a fuckup, thanks Patton) *Pro:* T28 was probably originally an important part of selling _Operation Fortitude_ ...and thus the MOST IMPORTANT TANK and pivotal to D-Day, European Theater and veerly the outcome of WWII

I think this is the most accurate description of a turtle tank if I’ve ever heard one! 😂

I think it may have had some decent niche use cases such as heavily defended areas where artillery/air power wasn't working and using any other tanks was border line suicide. Pretty sure the concept is not very different for what the Germans originally had in mind for the tiger, with them being brought up to the front/area of need with rail/truck and then deployed to the battle to break through the defensive area with lighter tanks and infantry punching through the hole. 90% sure Chieftain talks about this in one of his tiger videos. However, hard to say how well this would have worked in practice.

The T28 wants to be a BOLO when it grows up.😁
