I would bet that there are two kinds of tankers, those that have had a smoke launcher fire, and those that will have a smoke launcher fire.

The subtitle calling it the cannoli egg panzer is great. Machine transcriptions sometimes have real gems.

I'm imagining a German cop walking up to a BMP, tapping his ticket book in derision, as he walks around the IFV a few times. The crew inside are confused, nervous, and just want to get this thing to the army base where it can finally be added to the Bundeswehr inventory. He finally walks up to the window and asks "You boys lose your mirrors? Cause I sure ain't seeing any mirrors on this bad boy...." But, you know....in German. So it sounds even more intimidating.

The series is great. but when you talk about certain parts of the tank like specific engine parts, it would be helpful to get some kind of indicator (arrow or circle) to mark the specific part that is mentioned.

6:05 Actually that bin (EDIT: I meant the rack) in the back is for the camo nets. And german vehicle crews never had their gear stored externally, it was not a thing in the Bundeswehr.

The track design is interesting. Do you thing that you could do a video on tracks themselves, going over the history of tank track design and their field performance?

"After its closing-down sale" (@2:45) Perfect. Just perfect.

It's interesting to see that the German engineers kept the "saukopf" gun mantlet design that was on the Jagdpanzer 38, aka Hetzer. I only mention this because the design of the mantlet really cut down on gun traverse which was only 5 degrees left and 11 degrees right and made for quite a shot trap, especially with where the drivers vision port was located.

Questions for a Q&A: How do gas turbine engines fair in different environments compared to a diesel? Does wear from any particulate like sand greatly affect a gas turbine's performance if not rendering the engine inoperable?

@ScottKenny1978

3 жыл бұрын

The big difference is fuel economy. A turbine sucks a lot of fuel, particularly at less than full throttle. Also, turbines take a lot more cranking to get up to starting speed, so you need much bigger batteries. And finally, for the same power levels, a turbine takes 4x the clean air of a piston engine. ¾ of that air is not burned, it's for cooling. You do need some tricks to keep from sucking sand through the engine. I have seen what happens when you fly a Huey helicopter through a volcanic ash cloud. The compressor blades didn't look terrible, but the turbine blades were almost completely worn away! The trick is formally called an Engine Air Particle Separator. It's basically a giant Dyson vacuum cleaner bin. Spin the air in a circle to throw the sand and dust to the outside, take clean air in from the center. The air also flows in a U shape, the air intake for the engine is up top next to the air intake for the EAPS.

Love the 40ID pin, Nicholas.

This is the vehicle that led me to WOT, I was interested in the vehicle and couldn’t find many video clips except game clips

Belgium and belgian tankers who operated this bad boy really were pleased with it and fulfilled all the tasks and purposes belgian army asked to do ! Don't forget that Belgium had a Brigade in Germany at that time and was supposed to defend its "corridor" against hordes of "red" tanks ! JPK were also very appreciated as "jaloning" (dont know the term in english) but it something like a "protect avant-guard" and harass enemy on the retreat We still got several running ones, not in duty but for "memorial" purposes ! JPK was used by "Cyclists Regiments" called "Black Devils" and specialized in tank destroying ! They were disciplinary battalions and were feared by the whole belgian army as "madmen" ! they operated along MILAN crews mounted on AMX-13VTT *Ask me anything*

when you say front armour was good enough to stop ifv auto cannons was this a wild guess or did they make a piece of same armour and just shot serious different (calibres or calibers?) till they figured what penetrated and what didnt?

@MrChainsawAardvark

4 жыл бұрын

There are a couple of ways to calculate penetration. Generally a decent velocity gun can get one and a half to two and a half its caliber of penetration with standard shot, while HEAT can penetrate three to five times the caliber (depending on various design trade-offs and materials). Of course, this is presuming vertical standard armor steel. This also works in reverse, hence why you will rarely see HEAT ammo for 20mm auto-cannons, but wide missiles work well with it.

Not just the US designs, also the Su-85 and SU-100. Maybe the FDR planners realised that the lighter, more reliable and cheaper US, British and Soviet designs had defeated Germany’s heavy tanks and tank destroyers after all, without suffering from as many mechanical and reliability issues. It must have been incredibly frustrating in 1944/45 to have what on paper were superb designs which kept breaking down, had often unsustainable fuel usage and maintenance requirements or simply weren’t manoeuvrable enough to respond effectively and get to where they were needed when they were needed. Not having to obey the Fuhrer’s demands for designs that were ever more imposing on paper but not actually that useful in the field probably helped as well. In some ways this vehicle was a descendant of wartime Germany’s most successful AFVs, the Stugs. Meanwhile the British, US and Soviets adopted the approach of designing vehicles that did everything the Panther was intended for, only did it better. Other than maybe Chieftain the heavy tank concept was largely abandoned everywhere - and Chieftain’s weight brought with it some mechanical and reliability issues until engine technology improved enough to cope in the 1970s and 80s.
