The M26 Pershings out-classed the T-34/85s that the DPRK used in their initial invasion. In theory, the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Shermans were on a par with the Soviet-supplied T-34s, but in reality WAXED them, due to factors such as logistics, leadership, doctrine, training, and that the UN forces had air superiority, especially in the August and September 1950 battles along the Naktong river near Pusan.

Some corrections: 1: The Abrams is actually quite spacious and comfortable. The crew are dispersed so they rarely get in each other’s way. 2: While I cannot speak for all tankers, US Army Major Nicholas “The Chieftain” Moran (who has a channel on KZread, btw) said that unless he was under intense enemy fire, he almost never closed the hatch completely 3: The animation is nothing like what being in a tank is like. The driver is in a separate compartment by himself, and the gunner and commander are seated 4: Due to the fact that a nuclear bomb hasn’t been used in war for 75 years, tanks rarely if ever use their NBC capabilities. 5: If you don’t think gunpowder is a pleasant smell, then I’m sorry but you’re not an American, no matter what your birth certificate says. 6: RPGs and IEDs are still a threat to modern tanks. I take extra offense to the fact that the narrator scoffs at the idea of an IED doing any damage to a tank. At the American Heritage Museum just outside of Boston is a USMC Abrams that, before it became a museum piece, was hit by an IED, tragically killing the Commander. 7: Tankers can bail out. It happens. Getting hit IS survivable. 8: it’s pronounced “Say-bow”, not “Sa-bot”. Not a big nitpick, but it shows how little the production team actually knows about the subject.

It depends on the tank. For example the Panzer IV was compared to others very comfortable, the desert version had it‘s own cooling system.

Buttoned up, not down!! I am a 19 Kilo myself with 12 years of service and experience with multiple variations of the M1e1, M1a1D, M1a2, and M1a2SEP....... And come on now, it’s not that bad to roll out the 4 crewmen’s sleeping bags on the back deck of the jet-turbine engine that has been running for about an hour, and with a tarp covering the gun-tube it will stay warm and dry all night long; and on those rainy monsoon days in the ROK, it is a true blessing to us “Kilo’s” Furthermore my crew and I hit 3 IED’s in Samarra City, Iraq that did a lot more than scratch the paint!! More like destroyed the track, roadwheels, shock arms, hubs, support rollers, torsion bars, sprockets........... and the last big blast put our old horse out to pasture for good........But we did get the brand new M1a2 SEP when we returned home from Iraq!!

I was an Abrams tanker between 1987 and 1991, including a combat zone. Never once did anyone ever do or suggest taking a load off inside the tank. That's what e-tools are for.

This is right out of history. Yes, service in a tank in general has always been tough, especially when the opposition controls the air. But, as an historian, I'm thinking back to that giant 'tank' we built, during our Civil War. The sailors noted in letters appearing in the newspapers or later published that life aboard the advanced tech (for the times) Monitor was incredibly harsh, with inadequate heating, cooling, drying, air circulation, and ocean stability...

You know what my dad was on the wor from 1995 to 1998 in Jugoslavia and he was the guy standing out on the top of the tank, he was driving T-55 and he said"I am not crazy to run whit a gun on a feild and hope I would not day today, so I chosed to be in a tank" he says as well that it's better in tank

Was platoon leader and company commander of a tank unit for many years. We had both the M48A5's and the M60's. We trained for desert warfare and fighting in Korea. Wasn't all that bad even when it was over 110 F outside. Believe me we never relieved ourselves inside. We also fired many main gun rounds and the tank has an over pressure system to evacuate any bad air inside. Compared to the infantry tankers have little to worry about from fragmentary artillery rounds. One important thing was we carried a 5 gallon jerry can full of water for each crewman and made sure they drank it everyday while in the desert.

Why does this sound like something that lives deep inside a teenagers fantasy?

I mean Drivers seat is one of the most comfortable chairs I know of, and its already angled. Jokes are that the hardest battle an Abrams driver faces is not falling asleep.

Was on M-551a1 Sheridans in the '70's (they called it Armored Reconnaissance Airborne Assault Vehicle, because the services had gotten rid of the classes light, medium and heavy in favor of MBT, or Main Battle Tank). Sheridans were very light, at 18 tons. They coulden't take the stuff an Abrams would laugh off. Anyway, taking a leak in a tank only requires an empty ammo box (usually plenty around). Has a nice rubber gasket, and locks shut. For #2, try the .50 cal. box. Geez! Did you see "Fury"?

I was a gunner for the Leopard 2. It's quite cosy actually, i wouldn't say it's extremely cramped? But it does get uncomfortable after hours-long missions. If we're just moving in a convoy, i used to lower my seat and open the turret cage so i can stretch my legs into the driver's compartment. Loved my time in the army

Interesting wording. 'None have been destroyed by enemy fire'. Technically true but this tank has been knocked out by enemy fire on numerous occasions. Unable to continue the fight and had to be withdrawn from the front line. In 2 instances scuttled by its own crew to prevent it falling into enemy hands. Not to mention several friendly fire incidents. Although many crewmen have been wounded in action in these tanks, thankfully none have been killed in action.

I was a gunner on Canadian Leopard 2 tank and the only smell in the interior was that of stale beer. Either someone in our crew bathed in beer or the tank techs were having parties inside it.

The tank driver is located in the hull of the the tank so not all 4 crew members standing together inside the tank. The breech of the main gun was not present in the turret. Crew members in the turret are seated and not standing in a row. The tank commander and the loader have hatches they can open and may stand up in and ride out of on a nice day during maneuvers. As for using the bathroom inside the tank it doesn't happen that way. The track doesn't break all the time and is reliable and reasonably fixable. Crew members are not weak outside of the tank and are brave soldiers. Other then that...

A friend of mine was in a tank that was destroyed by an IED. It was 3 anti tank rounds stacked on top of 3 anti armor mines. It blew the turret out, and tore both his legs off, gave his other crew members a compound fracture to each femur and a massive concussion that resulted in brain damage.

While none have ever been completely destroyed by enemy fire, there have been a few cases where units were damaged in the field and destroyed by their crews to prevent capture.

Well I've never lived in a Abrams tank but I have lived in a M109 A6 Paladin it has a little bit more room than a Abrams but not really in the Drivers seat and unlike a Abrams the engine is front mounted and that thing loves to leak alot it's not fun to sleep in the drivers seat with half of the drivers hatch is flooded with oil. Your literally in knee deep in oil.

I'm an American, but my grandfather is a Chinese man, and back in the 60s, he served in the People's Liberation Army (Chinese Army)'s 38th Group Army (which has been renamed the 82nd Group Army)'s 6th Armored Division (which was disbanded after their 38th Group Army was renamed the 82nd) as a tank commander, and of course he described his experience of being in a tank as austere; he detailed it as being cooked, and burnt alive since heat got trapped inside the tank. Keep in mind that his unit was operating old 20th century dated hand me down Soviet tanks that were exported to China before the Sino-Soviet split, so there wasn't any air conditioning in there at all, and as said before; the armor of the tank made it a heat conducting tin can that trapped heat inside of it, seriously cooking it's occupants alive. And if it was cold instead of hot, he and his crew were frozen to their seats (and unable to get up). Tanks look cool but, they're not fun to operate that's for sure. And to those of you Slavaboos who admire Soviet tanks; be advised those are even worse to drive around than American tanks.

Oh yeah everybody thought living in a tank was just pure luxury

Show off.

My grandfather was a tank commander in Vietnam... then all the tanks at his camp got stuck in the mud so he ended up washing clothes.

I used to drive and command tanks while serving the army, mainly T80U's and BMP3's, even just training outside the camp was miserable the first couple times, we would wear our vests while the tank was sealed off, the temperature was so unbearable I even had my gunner pass out from the heat, a bit of water and shade did the trick. But shooting was the best part, yes you would have gunpowder inside the cabin but the BMP had an NBC System that created pressure inside the tank so the powder would go out of the barrel instead of the cabin. Fun times.

Ammo fires are completely survivable in an Abrams tank. A panel is designed to blow outward. The ammo is separated from the crew compartment with armored panels. Only if the the gun is being loaded at the time of the explosion is the crew threatened.

Also lack of comfy seats, hull will be a freezer in winter and an oven in summer. All in all though I kind of liked it, I felt rather cozy inside like how you would've felt when you went inside your own room made out of a chair and a blanket as a kid.

And drifting a tank is a non starter.

No mention of explosive "reactive armour". It greatly increases the size of hit a tank can survive.

I’m not sure all the information is accurate here. But on Challenger 2 a lot these problems are alleviated. There is, thankfully, a BV (boiling vessel) for making hot food and tea. Filtered air intake for crew NBC and temperature control. Ammunition storage bins are insulated so can also store cold drinks inside them. Finally, should an NBC attack occur, there is a refuse chute that ejects out the tank and can be used for the inevitable call of nature.

@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus1790

the English really understand crew comfort in tank design. if im correct, every British tank designed after ww2 had to have a boiling vessel as a rule.

I have to stress that sabot is pronounced “say-bo” not “say-bot”. The ‘t’ is silent.

Thanks, infographics show, I'll try to remember your hard-learned tips next time I deploy my tank against an army.

HESH (squash head) projectiles are not really a threat today, rarely anybody uses them. Reason? First of all, composite armor. It can absorb a lot of the shock (most of composite armors have an empty cavity that completely negates the HESH effect). Secondly, most modern tanks have their inside walls padded with kevlar which significantly decreases spalling. Finally, it depends a lot on the place that was hit. It needs a really flat and homogenous surface. If it hit, as said, composite, sideskirts, cage armor or some other thing sticking out (smoke boxes, for example), it will be useless. HEAT also, believe it or not, relies on spalling. Some of the stuff effect it in a much lesser extent than HESH. It also creates pressure and is more dangerous, but saying it means 100% death for entire crew if penetrates is exaggeration. All of this, however, don't mean the life of a tank crewman is easy or pleasant... Far from it... But get your facts right

Great video. Although you missed out that when your fixing the treads, it can be while the are submerged in sewer mud, while under fire, on a cold wet dark night...

You want to talk about the dangers of a tank? Add this to the next Abrams American battle tank related video... growing up my mom met my stepdad who was in the Army at the time in the early 90s and late 80s and he went through every Command Post in a tank. Started out as a driver went to a loader then went in as a Gunner and then became a tank Commander. He started in at the end of the Cold War and got out just before Desert Storm he started on the old Sherman's and when he got out he was commanding the M1 A-1 Abrams. Later on when I was old enough he told me a story about the dangers of an Abrams telling me when I was old enough that once upon a time when he was starting out on tanks he witnessed an incident where a guy was poking out of the driver's hatch of an M1 Abrams at the waist and it turned out to be the wrong time because the turret was turning and ended up cutting the guy in half at the waist. Include that please.

My grandpa was a tank maintenance guy he lived till age 93. Exposed in a Warfield and what killed him? Alzhiemers and loss of his gag reflex (basically drowned).

I mean it's a MBT. If you use ww2 logic then essentially the Abram is a medium tank that has a gun of a tank destroyer and the armour of a heavy and the speed of a fast medium or a light tank or some building destroyer.

unless they have changed on the SEP varients, there was no AC in any of our M1A1 or M1A2 tanks, best we had where a vest that would blow air into your nomax, but we never saw them issued. Never did #2 in a MRE bag, if the envirement was too hostile to hop off with an E tool and make a cat hole, you probably already did your business, but I have known crew members and myself included to just hold it for days. the gatorade bottle is true, or some of those 12 packs of peach tea that some one has on the bussel rack.
