Having been to Bovington and seen the Tortoise in the flesh I thank you for showing us the inside of it as the museum does not let anybody inside it on a whim. Great vid!

The working pressure of 32pdr is 22tsi and the MV of APCBC is 3,100ft/s. It also shoots three types of APDS. The third Type 'Petal' Sabot got a MV of 5,050ft/s for a pressure of 22tsi. In the trial dated 28.6.1945, the 'Petal' APDS penetrated 200 mm armour plate at 50° to normal at a Striking Velocity of 4,879ft/s.

I love that "Impending Doom" sound, you get from these tracks...., such an iconic sound these days!

I'm fascinated by the belief systems involved in the development of tanks during World War 2. As Cutland said, the Tortoise was built around outdated ideas held in an almost fanatical fashion by the military men who supported the development of the Tortoise. Something similar can be seen in the US Army of the period, with the development of heavy tanks like the Pershing and experimental versions like the "super Pershing" held up by the devotees of the American tank destroyer doctrine - which had been designed around a misapprehension of the German blitzkrieg. Missteps in military history are often more enlightening to study than the successes.

Thanks for this video best out there. The British A39 Tortoise was surprisingly reliable and packed a powerful punch to help breech axis defensive positions.

It exists as a testament to how cool of stuff we could make, if we weren’t bound by whether or not it would actually be good for the job. Same as the Maus.

For those who haven't been to Bovington, treat yourself. The Tortoise in real life is absolutely enormous, it doesn't fully come across in the video. It's amazing it can even move.

May be this tank was a mistake from the start ,but what an impressive one :)

Well made video about the Tortoise tank thank you

I never saw a tank in my life but imagine another war knocking at your door asking for your kids

this guy is a legend

The Ordnance QF 32-pounder 96 mm gun was developed from the QF 3.7 inch AA gun.Considering the size and mass of the Tortoise,I'wonder,if it have gone into service,whether it could have been used as a platform for a larger gun ,developed from,say.the QF 4.5-inch Mk IV naval AA gun. Arguments in favour of the 3.7 in gun are a quicker rate of fire than the 4.5 in gun and superior logistics ,in terms of a ready supply of shells However,given the immense difficulty of transporting such a massive vehicle from one location to another,these would have been relatively minor issues.

May be a headache to deal with in real life, but in game, this thing is a monster compared to other tier IXs. For once, I'm actually enjoying the British tank line and don't get destroyed in three shots like I did with the AT-2, AT-8, AT-7, and AT-15....

Wow!, I'm liking the people asking him to do videos on prototypes, blueprints and fakes xD

love the videos

These videos are very informative and the host knows his h*t and has a pleasing voice. Good stuff!

You wouldn't want to be hit by that beast. Could spoil your entire day.

Would have loved to see the casting of that AFV.

I think this darn thing would work pretty good with a jet turbine under the hood.

I swear i woul love to drive this through the middle of any city !

It is nice the UK has so may rehabbed TANKS. In USA we are such a big country it is hard to get them all together. We do have a lot of museums and some private collectors with tanks.

Love these videos! So interesting for tank nerds like me :D Cant wait to someday visit the Bovington tank museum

Amazing video, im liked much

Literally the only reason the tortoise is so slow, is so the crew don't spill their tea when they are on the go.

00:45 gz impressive. 4 gunmarks only archived with bond turbo!

Actually the British had 6 types of tank, not 2. Light, Cruiser, Medium, Heavy, Infantry and Assault. The heavy's were the TOG1, 2 and 3 which never saw service. The Tortoise was one of a number of Assault tanks that never made it to full production.

One thing that I would like to know, would it be possible to fit a 120mm cannon in it?

Looking at the sheer size of the charge... No wonder it's like a high velocity anti tank

I have AT 8 at my hanger now grinding for next one.

Great series, as a former tanker in the U.S. Army I am always curious about the insides of other tanks. One questing though, having been in a number of British vehicles I have always wondered about the use of the "silver" paint inside as opposed to white. I found the color depressing and impossible to keep clean looking. What was the reasoning behind the use of such a paint?

HAHA! "Stug on steroids" LOL

Designs for this type of vehicle went on well into the 1950s... in the UK.

Stug on steroids 😂 made my day!

I didn't know much about this beast tbh as it didn't quite make it into WW2 so looking at it as the video started I though to myself "It's chunky but that gun looks skinny... must be a 17 pdr, maybe a 20 pdr." Well, nooope... it's a bigger gun, the vehicle bearing it is just that big, it must be approaching twice the width of a Churchill (which also looked out of proportion gun wise in the 2 pdr armed version) Guess I live and learn... good thing the designers and doctrine changed though, it was just too inflexible going into the cold war.

awesome 👍 👍 tortoise

4:18 you can see the Panhard EBR. :D

yeah!! i love my tortoise in war thunder!!! class and hard to kill.

Hello Richard, nice video. You mentioned Churchill tanks having an unreliable engine - was the Meteor ever fitted, or was it just not available because it was so much in demand elsewhere? Also, if the meteor was a non supercharged merlin, why was this engine not used given the enormous power increase if would have given? I guess heat and cooling would be an issue but surely not insurmountable?

@dom69foco

9 жыл бұрын

SuperBobbster I'm no expert but a bit of engineering knowledge tells me two things- 1. Aircraft engines were very highly tuned, with short lifetimes, like race cars. Down rating allows better reliability for workhorse requirements like ground vehicles. Heat certainly is an issue, as tanks clearly don't have the luxury of 300mph airflow to help cooling. 2. Merlin engine superchargers were, by and large, optimised for maximum efficiency at altitude (say, 3000-6000m).
