POV: Sabaton suddenly plays when you turn an object show into a WAR in War Thunder

One thing that’s always amazing to me is how crude even the best made stuff was back then vs now. When I was a kid my first exposure to vintage war machines was in miniature and the model biz didn’t have the tech to represent such imperfections until like thr last 15 years or so especially on airplanes with their warping of riveted plates. Eventually my folks took me to war museums at my request. They supported this and were grateful I had no interest in amusement parks. I was shocked by how crude the assembly of these things what they accomplished even more impressive.

If anyones wondering why the Sherman is labeled “Panzer“ on the sign, its just German for “Tank“ - German Speaker Edit: I’m aware that it means armor, I think my thoughts blended posting this, back then a common term for tanks and other heavy armored vehicles was ”Armor“, which is what a few people have said, anyway, just go on Google translate.

No Tigers were lost. The Tigers stood off and sniped them from 1,000 yards and more. It was a complete one sided annihilation. Without mass artillery, infantry and air support the Sherman was a mediocre tank in direct frontal engagements v Tigers. During Operation Totalize, Tigers had a 10:1 kill ratio v Shermans overall. 60 plus Shermans lost compared to only 6 Tigers. That's direct Tiger v Sherman engagements.

You are correct, it's a very bad business, but man is a warring species

Слава героям той войны, они положили жизни и за наше будущее.

The red paint makes it seem like a living creature that was shot at. Makes it look like flesh.

They also have a jagdpanther tank that has holes through it. I've sat inside it and seen all the shrapnel marks inside.

Lmao it was literally just used for targetpractice on a range, nothing more

Might be a testing tank or not, but based on the holes it might be hit by 20mm or 30mm AA gun, and the large hole at the back might be a Pak 43 or 88mm

M4? Nah nah its M4A1 sherman

It has a smoother shaped hull

That hole is really goddamn scary, imagine what tank or AT gun did it

A number of things I can pick up from this: 1. This tank was used for target practice and was NOT lost on the battlefield. 2. The holes on it are of uniform (to a degree) and circular, hinting it was not shrapnel from explosives but bullets (most likely from a .50 or larger like shoulder launched AT practice rounds) 3. The American markings on the tank along with the placard suggest that this tank was used for target practice by West Germany 4. The side with the missing road wheels seems to have been subjected to explosives / AT rounds suggested by the large, torn away radio compartment and the missing road wheels. 5. A solid third of the comment section are Wehraboos who think that "GeRMaNy wOULd haVe woN iF thEy PRodUcEd mOre TIgeRs"

I'm guessing it was some form of HEAT round or similar shaped charge. Those holes look almost like they were torch cut, which is a telltale sign of a HEAT or shaped charge round

POV your M4A3 in 5.3 when you encounter a Tiger

Can someone fill me in on why the placard labels the sherman as an "M4 Sherman Panzer?" I'm a little confused.

Because the tank is exhibited in a german museum and german word for armored vehicle is Panzer

Sherman was a well designed tank and succeeded greatly at what it was designed for. It wasn't designed to go toe to toe with a tiger. It was designed to get a big gun to troops when and where they needed it.

Its the port for the assistant drivers machine gun. The machine gun was taken out of the hull as part of the demilling procedure to put tanks in museums.

@@yungdomino4718 yes that's true! I was just joking and I think dasboot6935 was joking too. Fact is that guns mounted on tanks could also be demiled and stay in place, just like those guns on display in many other museums. But I guess that because of the fact that this Sherman is located outside the risk of theft is too big and also the exposure to weather conditions would harm the gun...watch my new video telling the story of this tank here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4Gix6uPmcunmrA.html
