Hey there! Thanks so much for watching!! As I said in the video, this was all filmed in collaboration with the Armor and Cavalry Collection in Fort Moore, and pretty much everything you see here is NOT a normal experience the collection offers to the public. PLEASE DO NOT ask the collection staff for tours of the back area or to get inside of tanks, they won’t let you. Also, small correct when I talked about the game that Soflien was there to represent, it was the game “Steel Aces.” I had misspoke in the video and said “Aces & Armor.” I sincerely apologize for that mixup!

Who let Eta to have unrestricted access to a Sherman?!

I can tell you from being there that they very much care for the vehicles but they dont have the space for all of the vehicles. They recently just finished a BMP-2 in one of their shops. The issue also lies in parts that im sure is rare to come by for a Matilda

@eta320

I can agree with Keo, I got to meet the curator while I was down there, he definitely cares a lot about the collection and condition of his vehicles, but the Cavalry Collection doesn’t always get the funding they need to work on their tanks. (I recall some volunteers saying they’d been wanting to restore a Panther, but the higher ups won’t approve the acquisition of a new engine because they’d had 2 Panther engines break on them in the past). They’re also a massive collection with far more tanks that I didn’t get to see. They restore a few at a time and the queue is long. Also as Keo said, Matilda II parts are difficult to come by, let alone in the US.

Your first coverage was what inspired me to fly to Fort Moore for the April 2024 open weekend from Australia. Cheers.

I've been in an M4A4T once (an M4A4 with an R975 Radial) and I have to say, the Loader has a surprisingly comfortable position.

He’s become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

I've only ever been in an M60 Patton, I hope one day I can get in an M4 as well. Congrats, can't wait for the video

Hey! Thanks so much for coming back in to watch the vids. It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope you made your buddy jealous with that photo we took lmao

Lazerpig is punching air right now

As a person who actively obsesses over HVSS, I believe that the Square bulge thing on the Suspension is there, so the Shock obsorber doesn't over compress itself. I'm probably most definitely wrong, but that's my theory... A GAME...

that was incredible to see, love seeing all the really cool stuff they have out there. You must've been having the time of your life in that Sherman.

You should do a tank enthusiast reacts to tanks in “Easy red 2”.its a lesser known indie game that I think portrays combined arms and tank warfare really well.even if you never end up making a video on it I still think you should look into it since it’s a steal at its current price.

I got inside a Leopard 1 after i saw my first Tiger 1. My life is now complete.

Wow, just fantastic stuff. Always amazed how many vehicles they have that I didnt know about.

Average fan: Hey Eta, can I do what you do and see rare tanks? Eta: No, because you are not special.

I forget that after Aberdeen Proving Grounds shut its armor museum, most to all of the armor they had there moved to Fort Moore, and it's out of public eyes.

i swear to God, some day, maybe in 60 years, i will buy a Sherman, the version doens't matter, i just want to be an old lad with an Sherman.

Considering your steel crew game play. Never let him get in combat in one. You will lose both Eta320 and the sherman!

I came here for the look of an inside of a Sherman.

I do hope that more of these vehicles get some form of restoration in the following years, but sadly I think these are going to be lost to time eventually since the museum is on a military base and won't get consistent public donations like Bovington and Kubinka.

I bet you got steel crew vr flashbacks lol

HSTVL sighting at 12:20. Spookston: *Heavy Breathing*

He got into sherman

“ETA HAS POSSESSION OF THE SHERMAN! I REPEAT, ETA HAS POSSESSION OF THE SHERMAN!”

THUCK BEARD 😂

WHAT DID THEY DO TO MINE BEAUTIFUL PANZER 😱

I’m jealous, that’s sick asf

How about you get into making the IS-7 video?!?!?!

No way I got into a Sherman before Eta did lol, that’s crazy

We are so up

As a 5ft 2 piece of shit, I would love to be in a Sherman, but I would probably be stuck in it so I should probably sit in a Stuart instead.

It’s gonna be right after my birthday yippee

Again you should really go to the Museum of the American GI in College Station Tx, they have the original prototype of a Vietnam era bridge layer (I don’t remember the name) and a bunch of other cool tanks, and during our big two events each year you can ride in some of the tanks and see them in action

You luck lucky boi

maybe the exhaust blowing out on the tracks was to combat ice/snow buildup. the m5 stewart with the fording equipment with the long skirts and the track cleats kind looks like the water propulsion system they came up with for the m113. the action of the tracks through the tunnel formed by the skirts provided propulsion while floating. ill bet this is where they came up with that. awesome video! you are a lucky guy!

homeless Eta goes hard tho

Huh huh huh… Now…. This is Epic!

On the stuart with deep water fording equipment, i just wanted to point out that the modified track pads look very similar to the ones on the LVT. The little scoops on it were used to propel the LVT in the water by basically doggy paddling with the motion of the track moving. So i wonder if that stuart was using a similar amphibious propulsion method?

Its the Panzer IV 'Hydrostat' a special variant that was built in 1944. It used a very wacky hydraulic transmission system. I have a book somewhere that explains how it works but its very very complex. It's amazing because only one was ever made, and it's down in Ft. Moore and I got to see it!

you met tank mom? lucky

Sherman is a surname. If you weren't talking about a tank the title would sound very odd.

The t90 is a heavily modified t34
