Hi how does someone create an animation like this. I mean what software does someone use and what training will you have generally had. Is it somethin I can teach myself in my bedroom in my bedroom. Thanks

Caterpillar treads are not only for rough terrain. They also spread out the load over a large area so that the tank can drive over soft terrain such as sand, soft/wet dirt, mud and snow. The treads also supply numerous gripping surfaces/edges that improve traction.

FYI Creighton Abrams was the battalion commander of the 37th Tank Battalion in WW2 which was a spearhead unit for General Patton’s army in Europe during WW2. He was an outstanding tank officer, that is why the tank was named after him - not his service in Vietnam.

I was an m1a2sepv2 mechanic for years and I can say this is very accurate. A few things to mention The coaxial can fire 240 weapon rounds and the one near the loaders hatch is can be either 240 or .50 cal. The tanks that I worked on had c.r.o.w.s above the Commander's hatch. The little passageway that leads from the turret into the driver seat did not get used as much due to the fact that the seat was in the way and not a lot of people can fit through it. Me being 6 feet tall had a tough time. The Drivers Seat was adjustable so so the driver’s head is sticking out of the drivers hatch for better visibility when driving. Nine times out of 10 the drivers hatch is always open for that same reason. Typically when the tank is in use the drivers hatch is closed when they are about to fire a tank around or if it’s really bad weather and destroy the electronics inside it

The armor isn't really angled to deflect strikes. It's angled so that there is more material between the strike and the crew.

I am an Army veteran (3rd Armored Cavalry) with experience with both the M1A1 and M1A2. I will provide quality control if necessary: @2:30 Top speed on flat, solid ground. Slower over rough terrain, but still capable of rapid pace (well over 30mph) @2:33 Fuel is distributed between 4 tanks: 2 in the rear and 2 in the front. Fuel is standard JP8 petroleum, similar to diesel. M1 can also run on other fuel types in distress. @2:45 .6 mpg while driving, it has been suggested (not verified) that it takes 2 gallons to start the engine. For tanks not equipped with an EAPU (External Auxiliary Power Unit, a.k.a. generator) The engine is often left running to keep vital onboard systems operating even while sitting for extended periods- and in theory, to conserve fuel required by frequent restarts. @3:30 There are 7 PAIRS of roadwheels contacting the ground on either side (the narrator is not specific, but the animation did show them). @3:56 The sensation of riding a tank over rough terrain can be described as being in a boat on choppy water: It "floats" over all but the most extreme obstacles. @4:07 I have experienced extreme inclines (up and down) that I would have only attempted with a modified 4x4 vehicle, bridged trenches and never felt them, crossed through mud that would have swamped any other imaginable vehicle, and travelled at speed across rough terrain at top speed that, if attempted in my jeep, would have jarred my teeth loose and broken suspension parts. @5:40 The "Power Pack", or engine, is modular and designed to be quickly, easily and regularly removed to ease maintenance. It can be prepped for removal by the crew and be out on the ground behind the tank within 20 minutes. It can be replaced just as efficiently. I have done this many times. @6:24 "Make sure to stay clear when the engine is on"- There is a "jet wash" at the rear of the tank while it is running that gets more intense under power. At idle it is minor and is a boon during cold, snowy weather (look for groups of soldiers gathered behind idling tanks in the winter enjoying the heat.). ( "Crank up my $6 million space heater." is a common command from tank commanders during the winter.) @6:27 The phone is for infantry (using the tank as cover, etc.) so that they may coordinate movement and safety with the tank crew who are not able to see them. @7:55 In addition to the loader's MG, the commander's hatch is typically equipped with a .50Cal MG (unknown why this is not mentioned or represented.) @7:58 Smoke Grenade Launchers: The animation is inaccurate- smoke grenades are actually launched from the chambers and disbursed around the area to provide wider visual coverage. Not mentioned is that the tank is also equipped with a smoke generator that sprays fuel into the hot exhaust in order to create a large cloud that can be backed into or allowed to drift in a beneficial direction. @10:13 The driver's compartment is often referred to as "the coffin". It is actually very comfortable and drivers are known to doze off during periods of inactivity. - The only thing not mentioned that I need to add is what makes the M1A2 particularly different from the M1A1 is the addition of the CITV (there are other improvements, but this is by far the most significant): The CITV is the Commanders Independent Thermal Viewer: It is the cylindrical protrusion on top of the turret just in front of the loader's hatch. This allows the tank commander to scan the battlefield and acquire targets independently of the gunner or the orientation of the main gun. This provides two sets of eyes independently scanning for targets and gives much more rapid target acquisition before and after firing; enabling immediate referencing of an identified target after another has been destroyed.

Hello! my country , Romania (NATO member since 2004) announced yesterday (07.03.2023) that will send a proposal for the government of USA to buy M1A2 Abrams tanks (dunno yet what version if will be SEP V2 ,or the latest SEP V3) to form a "battalion" of Abrams tanks for Romanian Army , and we know that a battalion NATO is around 54 tanks... so i believe 54-66 tanks will be purchased, this deal will be the first step in acquiring more Abrams in the future , this info was already broadcasted in romanian media officially , not rumors (or fake news)

@Neil Pence "If you stay to close more than a few seconds, even your boot laces will melt." -Not quite. This would be true when the tank is throttling up or otherwise accelerating, but when sitting idle, the wash doesn't effectively reach all the way to the ground. A fair distance is still required since it is very hot.

I got to serve on all three of these tanks in the 90's. I remember the most significant changes were the 105mm gun of the M1 to the 120mm smooth bore gun of the M1A1 and the CITV (Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer) of the M1A2 that allowed the gunner and Commander to scan for targets simultaneously and a built in navigation system.

Thermal imaging is such a value added asset in so many ways . Also the Coaxial gun mounted on the turret next to the main battle gun is a 7.62 nato round machine gun sighted in by gunner. I got to ride and get the full tour of this M1a2 tank in Iraq in 06-07 as a contractor it was bichen and the crew was more than happy to give me this present. Also they had upgraded sights that could see the dimples on your cheeks a mile and a half away. I never felt more protected The tankers said if we get breached on the fence line get your as over to the Tank Ramp we got your back Hoorah !!!! Go Get Some!!!!

I saw a demo in the mid 80's of an M60 and an M1 running the test track/firing range on a proving ground. The M60 was and still is a great tank even though it is outclassed by the M1. So what I saw was an M60 hustling around the obstacle track, stop, fire at a target a mile away and hit it. Slam it into gear and go around the track again. They were firing tracer type rounds that you could follow all the way down range. The M1 came out and flew around the obstacle track, mud, water, actually got air over the speed bump and when it hit the ground fired a round through the center of the target. What seemed like 10 seconds later while running the next obstacle they fired again with a direct hit. Then the thing took off down range and they demo'd the smoke system. As the announcer is saying some dribble the M1 comes flying out of the smoke towards the viewing stand and even at 500 yards it was frightening to see this thing coming at you. The crowd cheered and we all thought Go Army we are damn glad that you are on the job!

So well narrated, and the information given clearly and thoroughly. Man, if only every YT video could have such a great VO.

A very helpful video, thanks! In light of recent developments, would you please consider doing a similar video on the German Leopard tank? I know it is lighter, and maybe a bit faster than the Abrams. What are the advantages ? ( if you were to compare the two tanks )

I just saw a real-life video about these tanks, but still this was a pleasure to watch. If only to answer my question about whether the driver can get to the turret from the inside or not. Thanks as usual for another top-notch Jared Owen production.

Yea if you line the turret up correctly there is a door in the turret basket that lets the drive move in and out of the turret. If you see abrams being stored somewhere you'll notice their turrets are facing backwards but a little to the left. That's because its lined up with said door.

I was a crewman of the M1A1 Abrams in the mid 90's, and yes, the Abrams is an awesome machine. As I discharged, my unit was upgrading to the A2 Abrams so unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure of working with it. That was great graphics and explanations used and pretty accurate as well. Thank you for the video. Well done. 🙂

I love the animation. Can you export your images to Solidworks or Inventor? I've never used blender, it looks pretty cool!

Jared, I understand that a Abrams is never scrapped, it's just rebuilt. They're made to rebuild. So, when mods are produced and approved, they can be installed fairly easily.

Really good video Jared, thanks heaps. My only comment is, it would be nice to include metric measurements as well (since 90% of the World use these), as it's a pain to cross reference everything.

As a Abrams Mechanic I can say I was surprised how accurate this was, good job mate.

If you spin it more than 10 times in the same direction, the turret unscrews itself and falls off.

Just so you know, the same shell is an APFSDS which for the M1A1 from Australia has 40 of and for this tank has 2 more at 42, the M1A2 has a reload time of under 8 seconds, both the M1A2 and A1 has composite armor which blocks enemy rounds so no more damage is done

It's simply the coolest sounding tank ever made. I think our Challenger 2's are better looking, but it will never beat the awesome sound of that turbine.

I have spent many hours watching them shoot on the move or still on qualification ranges. They are amazing in terms of engineering, and they are very, very loud. It's one of the most metallic bangs you can possibly imagine. On the ranges, they sit on gravel at the edge of the firing line (at least at the post where I was), and the gravel shimmers in vibration when they fire. Some of my buddies were crew members (tankers), and I knew tank mechanics as well. The mechanics would sometimes come in from field exercises covered up the waist in mud, from pulling packs (engines) in extremely muddy conditions.

(and yes, even as an American I agree our system is pretty wonky😫) I made a mistake with the smoke grenade launchers in the video. They don't emit smoke directly - they shoot out grenades around the tank and then those grenades emit smoke.

Just so people are aware. This is very well done video of fundamental information that does not vear that much off from all tank designs. The type of materials that make up the armor and the fire control systems are what really separate tanks on the battlefield. This is why Ukraine is getting a version of of the tank that has Tungsten armor and not the classified one the U.S uses. The tanks they are receiving will be new production for this reason. The U.S makes about 10 to 15 tanks a month for our military and others.

Love, love, love your animation videos! Please keep'm coming!

I can't imagine the work that went into this! And I am left with no questions as to the tank.

You know it's funny that the Commanders hatch looks just like that observation room on the flight deck of aircraft carriers.

One small Detail: the smoke grenade launchers actually launch small grenades wich Land in front of the tank and smoke there. Other than that it’s a nice visualization, and it’s always nice to see Germans and Americans engineer something together

I love this guys videos, he explains it like weve never heard of the topic without being condescending making it actually educational

The armor's slope gives it more effective thickness since the round must travel further to breach the armor, though suppose it could deflect some things as well.

How, I learned so much in such a little time, because the way u explained it so clearly and keep me entertained with ur 3d's. 😊

Very good video, congratulations, only that you could also include measurements such as meters or kilometers per hour or tons, incredible distribution of the crew, entertaining and instructive video, thank you very much, best regards.

A few corrections: The smoke grenade launchers are exactly that. They make smoke by launching grenades that make it. They don't just spit clouds of smoke right out. The bustle rack is not the only storage place as you also have "sponson boxes" on the side of the turret and a little bit of storage in the hull. Also the driver does not go in through the hatch in the hull unless the hatch is already open. It can only be accessed the first time by going through the turret.

US Army 19k (M1 tank crewman) here. Your animation of the tracks is great, but I noticed you left out the return rollers. Excellent video for explaining to average people how a tank works!

I can imagine that some of the design elements were defined by past battle experience. We should pause for a moment to think about the soldiers that lost their lives in the past when the tank they were in was fatally damaged in battle because those design elements weren't in place. Also, I recommend finding videos about the Sherman tank from WW II and compare this tank to that one. Anyone who is in combat has guts but those tankers were a different breed.

Jared, awesome work! Thank you very much for sharing!

Great job Jared ! Very simple shown how this tank works.

I was a tanker. The only position I didn't do was being the TC(tank commander), I did driver, loader, amd gunner. Turret can be rotated manually, or hydraulically. There is no phone on the back. The is a hookup for a radio to communicate with the crew inside the tank. A damn good crew can hit a target at almost 4 miles with the main gun, 1000+ meters with the coax, about 950 with the loader's 240. Smoke canister launchers. Unless you are short, you are not completely standing up in a tank, even other countries. If a loader takes longer than 5 seconds to load that gun, they do not need to be on a tank. The most comfortable spots to sleep on a tank are the front slope and driver's hole.

J'adore ce genre d'illustrations & animations techniques partfaitement claires, telles qu'on aimerait en voir plus souvent.

Quelle épouvantable folie ! (En revanche la traduction française laisse à désirer. La conversion des pieds en mètres, des miles en kilomètres et des gallons en litres serait la bienvenue. Et pour nous les tanks ne sont pas de simples " réservoirs "...)

My only critique is that there are not four tow shackles on the front. There are two, down low on the hull at the corners. There are also two on the back in the same relative position. Other than that I found this a very well done video and the graphics are stunning! I was on the original M1 series for five years.

Very nice animation. The tank commander also has a 50 caliber machine gun at his disposal.

Having ridden around in one for years I'd add a few minor points: 1) The driver is laying on his back, as you show, so the gunner needs an antennae rod to wake him up when we had worked 20 hours a day. 2) The loader is an expert, in contrast with automatic loading systems on Russian tanks. Automatic loading might be an advantage except that an experienced loader can place a wider variety of rounds in as little as four seconds. 3) It rides like a good ol' Cadillac -- very smooth, as you also show. 4) Don't forget to add the .50 caliber machinegun on top. The last of my fewEgyptianshold up as long on deserts. That's also impressive when you consider that the 14 tanks in the company ran the same terrain and only one threw a track. Breaking down the track and putting it back on is, well, good exercise for the crew [another smile], although I suspect they hated me when I gave the signal for a line formation dashing over a rough space. Soldiering is still fun when your country provides you with amazing equipment, as is the M1. Again, excellent presentation. Oh, finally, as you may know, the Russians recently gave a presentation to their soldiers about an M1's side skirts being a weak point. I'm glad you pointed out that an M1A2 now has heavier armor there. (Good try, Ruskie, to criticize an antiquated point.) And don't forget the Abrams X "coming to theatres near you soon".

As a former M1A1 tanker, I really loved this animation! Thank you very much! 😊👍🏼🙏🏼

ever make it to Korea? Who ya with?!

If the tank can spin in place while the turret is locked on target, the turret is actually moving to stay on target

Marvelous production with excellent narration and information.

Abrams was Patton's #1 tank commander after D Day. That's why the tank is named after him.

I’d love to know all about how the flight mechanisms of the t-72 turret work

Up-up and above! That's how it works when it meets our 🇺🇦🔱🇺🇦 javelin

Really good rendering!!! You are very talented!

*I've viewed multiple tank videos featuring actual tanks but this one provides a much better explanation of their interiors, their crew capacity, and how they work. Your graphic/animation skills are top grade.*

i mean, its a decent video. but the videos by nicholas moran are significantly better. if you specifically mean videos on the abrams, then thats because its hard to get access to one to make a video about it.

Just plain mad communications skills of every kind: Visual-spatial conception, graphics, animation. Verbal-research, script conception, writing, speaking. It really took a lot of brainpower to make this so easy to follow and understand. 👏🏻👏🏻

Very well done. Very interesting. It could be much better if you use metric units instead or beside imperial units.

Extremely well done animation and explanation for folks who do not know anything about the tank like me.

We don't have tanks in the Navy unless the Army makes the submerged ones like Korea and hopefully sailors can use them . Very good presentation and will give you a 10/10

Well done, good storytelling and voice, plus animation skills.

Very good job 👏🏻 super clear explanations. Bravo 🙌

Imagine learning a video about snipers and shows a 360 no scope video

Awesome video. Could you publish a video talking about how the german tank Leopard 2 works?

Sensacional. Muito bom

Just found your channel tonight. I am a tank Fan thanks Jared very informative.

the ammo that was shot here was what we call "APFSDS" which stands for Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot, it can also fire another type of shell, call "HEAT" which stands for High Explosive Anti Tank, im not gonna bother explaining what they do

As a car enthusiast, in my channel I worked on LEGO 8 wheelers just for my ideas! I found this video rather interesting, the mechanical aspect! Greetings from Belgium

In the early years in Germany 🇩🇪 we would drive these tanks through towns. Many BMW's had the paint burned off the front of cars when they got to close to the tank 😳.

It is early morning, you come out of your barracks and see several M1A2 parked outside. How do you tell which one has its engine running? Look for one with a bunch of people at the back of it lol

If I remember right, it took about 10 seconds to heat up the main meal packet in your MRE. That freed up the new chemical heater packs for some field fun with plastic bottles. It was the 90's and we got bored, no fancy cell phones yet :)

After seeing what an A-10 can do to a tank, and then seeing how cramped it is in there, i can't understand why someone would want to be in a tank. No. Way . Also : Very, very impressive animations. You are a master .

@Kaos 10 yep, the cannon would most likely be used for light targets like infantry, artillery, trucks, ifv,

The A-10 would probably be shot down, not hit the target, or just use the guided missiles it has. It would not likely penetrate or damage the tank with the rotary cannon. And there will be always dangerous job, the tank is the most dangerous and safest depending on several things, like enemy, terrain and allied component that supports it, it is as dangerous as being in a humvee in the middle east fighting guerillas, or a a submarine underwater with mines near.

A10 most likely won’t be engaging the tank due to it being operated by allied nations

Exquisite animation: stunning, thank you. I'll be subscribing!
