Constructive criticism on the video would be appreciated it's my first one for the channel :3

Woooh! my "something about Norwegians" alert went off. Thank you for this

Ah the classic “Just slap bigger gun if old gun isn’t good” way of thinking births very fun vehicles.

That reminds me that these crazy Jugoslavs put a Soviet-made 122 mm gun on a Sherman. That was post-2nd WW, but man! Imagine it: Soviets getting Lend-Lease Shermans, they see the British made the Firefly, and they get the same idea themselves. That would have been even worse of a surprise for the Axis tankers. "You think the Firefly is a problem for us. You haven't seen what the Soviets can do yet."

People underestimate small lightly armored tanks. They are only small and lightly armored for a tank. Are you laughing at my Chaffee? We have a word for people who laugh at my Chaffee, we call them pedestrians.

I really love seeing older vehicles modernized with advanced technologies. I hope this tank will be added in the Swedish tree in WT sometime.

This seems like a logical upgrade... had to be cheaper then buying a new M60 or old M46/48

The low pressure gun makes sense, an upgraded punch with limited range, but with Norwegian terrain it can easily be put to good use despite its limited range, it is nothing like the open steppes of eastern Europe for example. At best you would have a few long range engagements in eastern Norway where some of the only flat land in Norway is, and despite how much we like teasing our neighbor Sweden I don't think they are likely to take is so badly they would have invaded.

It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it. A good example of getting maximum use out of an aging asset. I'm sure they would have done good service if called on to do so.

Excellent video you covered a lot considering the length but I especially appreciated the feedback of the Norwegian commander who gave good insight and importance of tactics to overcome and compete with more powerful tanks.

The NM-116 is such a beautiful design that, coupled with the recovery variant, really highlighted what could've been done with the venerable Chaffee...instead, we tended to just see them get sold away or replaced with larger and more expensive vehicles. That low-velocity, 90mm proved itself, at least decently, against Soviet tanks in Africa, and while the NM116 may have been more of a tank destroyer, a combination of a vehicle like that and something like M113s could've made for a light mechanized unit on a budget. Shame... (take my like for 1k 👍)

Very cool to see some of my NM-116 Walkaround pictures in the video. This is exactly why I took them 👍

Thanks for taking them it was wonderful to get to look through

I demand the Norwegian Chaffee to be added to War Thunder.

So, pretty much a Tank destroyer gun on Chaffee hull. Pretty nifty btw

Good vid, Tony did good and pronounced the Norwegian words well. The tank you see in vaman's vid and Rogalands Krigshistoriske Museum's tank is the samme vehicle. It is also on loan from the Defence museum (Forsvars museet). This vehicle currently in storage and for the time being not available to the public.

Really nice tank....👍

Norway is cool, especialy in winter 🥶

Oh, i didn't realized this tank was powered by a Detroit Diesel "Screaming Jimmy"...

Very interesting.

You shlt try and look on the Danish rebuild of the M41 to DK1 that is a story perfect for YT

I approve

Cool. This tank is fun on WoT but I knownots nothing like the real tank.

New tier 7 premium?

Why didn't the Americans buy Centurions for Norway, like they did for Holland and Denmark?

M24 chaffee Did have German road wheel suspension system prototype🕵

Can anyone explain to me the small curved metal plate on the right / starbord side of the turret, that is used as a hand rest in some of the clips? Is it a bullet deflector? A protection against branches wiping off the crews` personal kit stowed behind? It is even featured on the Cobi-model with a special brick, so it seems to be of some importance.

@@TanksEncyclopediaYT With pleasure! The little elephant`s ear can be seen in the very first clip, best at around 0:26 located to the left of the white star, the spike in the 10 o`clock position is somewhat pointing at it, diagonally upwards to the right from the rectangular hatch on the turret side. I spent some time with research, and it seems to me that this metal plate is in fact a protecting shield. Behind it there are the necessary straps and a pintle mount to the left of the above mentioned hatch to fasten a M2 Browning machine gun (either the MG or an additional spare MG) with its back / handle grip facing forward and the barrel to the rear.

Well, if only these improved tanks could've been available in Korea at the start of Norsk attack, the tiny M24s haven't any chance against T34s, but I'm afraid that against the T62s these improved tanks would've been hopeless, at least against the front/turrets' armour.

I want this for war thunder perferebly in a pack so I can buy for 60 bucks and not in the battle pass which I loathe

Atilla lol

think about this, the at the time Soviet Union could leverage tens of thousands of tanks + other types of midrange missile salvos meanwhile NATO states had, has & are attempting to compensate for merely being capable of leveraging kinda a few hundred (due to the expectation[s] that the US would actually handle it) 🤔
