Or in more literal examples, "Tankie" as in anyone thinking that the Soviets sending in tanks to quell the Hungarian Uprising, or the Chinese tanking up the Tiananmen, was a good idea. ...most leftists think those are low points of history.

Tankies pretty much always have a terrible result. I'm all for lefty ideals probably left of progressive, but violent takeovers are situationally rife for a cult of personality who's just going to tell you whatever you want to hear to gain your loyalty and claim power. Power belongs to the masses, not a few 4$$3$.

Leave it up to the E-4 Mafia….which DEFINITELY doesn’t exist.

Fun fact: There were considerations for shipping it to the Pacific Theater to take part in Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan. As that never happened, those plans were canceled.

The Infantry Museum is now on my bucket list because of this tank. I have _got_ to see this in person.

I’d classify each military vehicle group with Tankers: The tank simps Prop planes: The agree to disagree. Jets: The debaters Naval lovers: The design lovers

Besides the Siegfried Line being dated back from the Inter-War Period, when biplanes were the norm and more than 2x 30. Cals on your fighter was considered to almost be approaching Overkill; it also REALLY didnt help that most of the newest/non-obsolete weapons and equipment got stripped from the Siegfried Line to help build up the Atlantic Wall covering... Well, the Atlantic; and the various Ostwalls built on the Eastern Front (aka "Ost Front") as the Germans fought their fighting retreat trying to delay or hopefully even stop the Soviet Advance (They were rarely effective, as each time they pulled back to the next defensive line; it'd happen so quickly that there hadn't been much construction time available and the lines were usually rushed or incomplete in areas weakening it. So the Soviets would end up breaking through faster than tf it'd been properly and completely built, forcing them to fall back faster to the next defensive line, rinse, repeat.) The Siegfried Line got stripped so extreme to the point they'd even remove the metal doors, etc from concrete emplacements to reuse on other "More important at the moment" defensive lines. Then after D-Day succeeded, the Siegfried Line was ordered to hastily be rebuilt. So it had ALL kinds of problems reducing its overall strength and effectiveness. Besides just dozering and packing dirt into the Dragons Teeth and simply walking/driving over the whole thing bypassing it entirely; my other favorite Siegfried Line story was a German Officer or something who said he knew the war was lost when "The Americans are sniping us with 155mm guns". This was because while the M12 and M40/43 were actually self propelled guns/howitzers (Mounting an artillery gun into a casemate built on a tank hull/body, giving your guns better mobility and allowing them to be set up, shot, and moved much faster than towed artillery) and intended to be used as artillery guns, we Americans would creep our M12s up a slope/hill staying hull down, then peek the gun over the ridge like "Killroy" and almost point blank (for an artillery gun) blasting concrete bunkers with their 155mm gun using either High Explosive rounds, or AP rounds designed specifically to be an anti-concrete round for use against fortifications. I know the M4s with the 105mm howitzers had HEAT round for the same purpose, but I'm not sure about the 155mm. So with that tangent over, and along with all the OTHER issues it had; there was no way the Siegfried Line could EVER even be as stong as German Propaganda claimed.

Tankies are something else entirely and completely unrelated to tanks by the way

The winch was never meant to pull it out of a ditch. It was meant to help take off/put on the exterior tracks. The idea was the crew could mount and dismount the tracks by themselves. There is also a video by the museum and Sofilein of them putting the exterior tracks back on it. They used 2 M88s to do it. And its designation is T28/T95 Gun Motor Carriage. T95 with the exterior tracks, T28 without. And yes, it can operate without the exterior tracks. Plus, the exterior tracks are for weight distribution. The picture he showed of them behind it, was meant for transportation when it's on its own.

@Myomer104

21 күн бұрын

The two designations are because of its core design and bureaucratic debate, not the tracks (That was an invention by Wargaming for World of Tanks so that they could put it in the game twice, an invention that War Thunder would later copy.): 1) It's designed to break through enemy lines, a role doctrinnally held by heavy tanks. The next project number available for a heavy tank was 28, thus T28. 2) It has no turret, so it was temporarily reclassified as a self-propelled gun. The next available project number for those was 95, thus T95. It would flip-flop a couple of times during development, but the last decision before the project ended was that it was a heavy tank, so its designation permanently became T28.

Ah yes...the T95...that was a great unique Tank-Destroyer to play in WoT, my strategy was hug one of the Side-Edges of the map (To use the Map-Boundary as a Rear-Guard in Emergencies) and slowly advance on the "Front-Line" BUT always making sure to keep a backup Team-Mate close behind me at all times...and if my backup tank gets destroyed then I quickly put my T95 in REVERSE and Back-Track until I get to a new backup Team-Mate

i saw that tank while i was stationed at Fort Knox back in the early 2000's

My favorite tank is the VT1-2 (Versuchsträger 1-2) - Versuchsträger translated means 'test-beds' or 'experiment carrier' It’s a German prototype twin gun turretless main battle tank build in the 1970s

Grunts+boredom = Grunts+beer+boredom

My favorite tank would be the sherman and all the Hobart variations the brits used.

It makes me think about an old Steve Jackson game "Ogre", which was about AI controlled city block sized tanks fighting each other.

In my opinion the doom turtle designers should have strategically acquired a pair of merlin engines from p51 mustangs in place of the sherman engine.

I could be wrong but I think the T28 title stems from World of Tanks players because when I played it that’s what it was called and I heard it all the time. I’ve even called it the Doom Turtle.

Ah yes, the Harmadillo

The pic from the rear that shows the four sets of tracks was taken when it was on display in front of the Patton Museum at Fort Knox.

At the end of the day the "best" of anything is what you can bring to the field and use in a sittuation that presents itself. Any Gimick build to counter a specific thing or to deal with a specific issue will usually be quite bad as a general purpose tool. Which is why I would say the overall "best" tank of WW2 has to be one that saw massive use over a large frontline in all kind of sittuations and still did it's job. And then there is no contender. The T-34 was the workhorse of the Red Army. Can you find tank models that did specific stuff better than the T-34? Certainly. But the T-34 was everywhere and it just worked. The Sherman is certainly a contender. But the T-34 has the M4 beat in both numbers and in how early it saw large scale deployment on the main frontlines.

"It's not a warcrime the first time"

You missed Shatapillar on the front. 😂

The winch on the top is not for moving the tank, it's for loading ammo.

This is tank destroier,canon with propulsion.

Doom Turtle all the way. You know it's going to be slow, but once it gets where it needs to be the place it needed to get to isn't going to be there for too long

It would be amazing if you and the fat electrician were to do a collab!

still the heaviest US Tank ever the current us MBT the M1A2 Sep V3 is in the 80000lb range and a key feature of its replacement is that it is suppose to be lighter because the Abrams has issues with most bridges

a side from the field with trenches surely there is a swamp out there and that is where this tank sink

I prefer the designation T-95. First of all, there are too many T-20s, and second, the T-28 is already a tank. (A soviet heavy/medium tank made in the late 20s/30s that was plagued with issues but was still kept in service even in ww2)

I’ve climbed on that tank. It was so big and ridiculous I thought it was German when I first saw it.

Mr Terry you are the best. Love your shit. Wish I had a teacher like you.

Gotta watch out for them Tank Tops!

We called them, tread heads.

Have you ever seen Mark Felton Productions? He makes very good videos on obscure ww2 events

No reaction to his video about the 11th AD?

Do some more of his backlog plz

My favourite tank is the Panzer III Ausf E. Which probably is on nobody's list of favourite tanks. It is the main gun tank of the German Army of the beginning of the war armed with a 37mm gun, the armour is nothing to write home about (granted a lot of tanks in 1939 and 1940 were not heavily armoured aside from the French Char B1 and British Matilda). I just like the looks of it. It is not a Panzer IV, not a Panther or a Tiger or Tiger B. By the way, the T28 that was behind those bushes, was also "hiding" in an open field. Not in some heavily forrested area. Granted there are forrested areas around it, but still.

Maus vs Doom Turtle, would have been epic lol

Check out the disston tractor tank it would inspire the bob simple tank

My favorite tank will always be the mark IV landship that thing was awesome looking

My favorite weird tank is the kv-2 or Stalin's fridge it's just ridiculous and fun to play in war thunder

Now if only they would mount a 16 inch battleship gun on a AC130

To give more context to just how much 12 inches of armor is, the iowa class battleships had a main armor belt of ...... 12 inches. The god damn thing basically had battleship armor at the front.

I'd love to see you check out Drachinifel's video on the Mk. 14 Torpedo Or his video on the sinking of HMS Hood. They're both rather on the long side for video length though.

A giant wit Achilles heel's. Aka the tracks are the vulnerable part

My favourite tank is the Vickers MBT Mk7

They didn't actually call it the Doom Turtle. That was a name created by World of Tanks players as a fun nickname for it, and it's just kinda stuck ever since.

wasn't there a tank the Germans designed that was basically a moving city? i like that one lol.

You should definitely watch Ginger Billy. You won't necessarily learn anything. But you'll definitely have a laugh.

I think the T28 would win in a fight 1v1 on the German Maus. Look that one up. It was so big, enemies couldn't miss it, but the armor was so thick that nothing short of a 105mm gun would pierce it. Thankfully the T28 has a 105mm main gun. Without the outer tracks the T28 would sink into the soil, not mud, soil, like quicksand. Horrific ground pressure.

Tanks are noisy--so the Tank Gang has to talk loud to be heard over the noise by deaf tankers.

Ginger Billy is a really funny content creator.

First time I heard of that tank was a Russian badger war Thunder video

The Doom Turtle is a perfect name for this monstrosity! In my opinion, the M1A2 Abrams is the best tank on earth. 70 tons of hate powered by a 1,500 horsepower engine and equipped with the world's most modern technology. You're dead. PS The M1A2 has a 120mm main gun.

Remember it's not Geneva's convention. Its Geneva suggestions

It's not at the infantry museum, it's at the Armor Museum on Harmony Church, the Armor side of Fort Benning/Moore, and why this is important, is that they are on opposite sides of the base, and to get to the Armor Museum you have to be able to get on the base. They're very limited on tours to civilians as of this last year (last update they posted that I saw, could have changed).
