I at one point was inclined to agree that the BMP-2 was universally better, but since using the 1P in Gunner HEAT PC, I once wiped like 8-9 bradleys by getting the drop on them, and the HEAT shell can penetrate some MBTs to the sides, even an Abrams.

MG on top is for the loader not Commander! Cooles Video!

I didnt knew they had tested the Merkava... very interesting...

Mountain goat ist ziemlich irreführend, weil man einen Kampfpanzer nicht im Hochgebirge einsetzen kann. Zum einen zieht es dir auf jedem grösseren Stein die Kette ab. Zum anderen ist der Höhenrichtbereich der Kanone viel zu gering, man kann also beschossen werden, ohne dass man zurück schiessen kann. Die Syrer haben auf diese Weise auf den Golan Höhen an einem Tag mehrere Panzerbatallione verloren. Und sag dem Ladeschützen, er soll gefälligst das Panzerschott zur Munitionskammer schliessen, wenn er länger am leben bleiben will...

5 seconds into the video and you cän hear out the äkzent of the swiss dude ^^

Nice vid

A good overview of tank ammunition types! The one I would add to your list would be APCR (Armor Piercing Composite Rigid)/ HVAP (High Velocity Armor Piercing), a type of anti-tank ammunition used before the invention of APDS to get higher velocities out of guns. APCR shells had a dense metallic core usually made of tungsten surrounded by a jacket of lightweight material. The lighter weight gave the shells higher velocity while the dense cores still gave them the strength to punch through armor. The drawback they had was that due to the shell’s lighter weight they tended to lose velocity at range faster than standard shells did. They went away once APDS ammunition was invented as that had the same solid penetrator but discarded the lightweight material that let the shell fit the cannon barrel so it had even higher velocities and kept them at longer ranges.

Looks like the old Leopard 2A4 without modern armor. Would this tank survive on todays battlefield?

I am a Swiss Leopard tank commander halfway through my service. Thank you for the video, I literally learned new things about the history of the tank in my country. A few corrections and additional informations: the MG87 machine gun is operated by the loader, not the commander. The new thermal cameras, called WBG, are actually integrated into the new commander’s periscopes, which were replaced in 2009, while the gunner’s thermal camera remains the same. The equipment that was replaced includes the commander’s control device. Silencers are only used in urban areas, such as Thun. As seen in the video at hinterrhein (shooting range), the tanks do not have silencers. Great work keep it up!

Nice video, I’d like to correct the point about neutrality however: Swiss law prohibits the export of arms into warzones, while neutrality merely demands that you cannot discriminate between fractions of a conflict. Those are two separate things and the export ban could be lifted without being in conflict with neutrality and thus making arms exports to ukriane possible.

It would've been nice if Gaijin made a premium out of this, yes theres little to no difference than the tech tree variants but its better than the current ones they have which are a literal copy n paste + camo net. Would've been cooler if it was from another nation version.

I love your videos and am trying to make similar ones hopefully i can be as good as you

This thing gets hit it's done. Literally doesn't matter where you hit it. Survivability is included te stats, and this has none. How did it go well

Is there a chance that we could see a video about thr 4S20 4S22 4S23 and 4S24?

Many thanks for the video about the Swiss tanks.

nice video!

nice video, are we gonna see an Ariete video?

Another piece of valuable information made available to all. 💪

0:25 when a haystack just eats a 122mm APHE round🗣️

Very nice, I like. 🔥

Look at the t34 hyped up yet they lost 35000 of them

Thanks bobi

Чертовы fish state

Off topic, but we both almost share the same names, lol. Nice video btw.

can you talk about T-72 T-64 and T-80 how the autoloader knew where different type of round place ?

Hey i noticed you have HE in your first ammo slot. If you didn't know you can click the ammo image on the spawn screen to switch which ammo is in which slot.

Spookstoon type of video 😂

Just one little bit of trivia to add. When the tank was adopted into service in 1952 its designation was changed from Objekt 730 to IS-8 as it was considered part of that line of tanks jammed after Josef Stalin. After Stalin’s death in 1953 and the subsequent “de-Stalinization” of the Soviet Union the new tank’s designation was changed to T-10 to both remove Stalin’s name from it and mark it as the tenth heavy tank officially accepted into service even if they were never mass produced. This counted the KV-1 and 2 and the IS-1 through 7 models.

When people talk about these Soviet heavy tanks, it is always in the context of tank vs tank, rather than tank vs fortifications and infantry support roles. The Soviet 122mm guns were excellent for both roles and the armor allowed them to take a beating when making a breakthrough push. The 122mm guns were famously dual purpose in that they could act as impromptu artillery, should they come up on a position that may be a little too well fortified to smash through without softening it up first.

T-10M my love 💕

Why do the turrets on the Turkish Leopard 2A4 fly off when hit?? Like in Syria,some years ago... Western equipment...The "best" in the world, until used in the real war..

Great vid!

I remember this thing in wot being a tier9 and having like 60 or 70kmph top speed lol, didnt really played with it much in wt because of the T-55s being so good

Solid stats and history; so thank you for those. You did not add PSI or KPCM ground pressure, as T- model weights increased and decreased, and as compared to MBT replacements. Also crew comfort and ease of use, if any.

T10m with a laser rangefinder?

is this an ai

I was gonna post a long-winded comment debunking why you're wrong about claims you're making and just making false comparisons but then you said APS was objectively worse than ERA because it needed to be maintained and I figured getting mad at you for this would be like getting mad at a special needs kid for being special needs

T-64 is best of all pre 90s T tanks. Bm2-bulat is the pinacale of soviet tech

A Video about 3 last Soviet heavy tank would be interesting (Object 277,770 and 279)

1:17 again, no it’s not any more complicated than that. The fact that you contradict your self in that video, and in literally a few seconds, you say something that is true and also contradicts what you are trying to say, is just more proof.

2 Things wich could summed this up pretty easily. 1. Russian Tanks field alot of HE Ammo since the chance of encountering a Tank is low. 2. The Russian Autoloaders isnt the Thing responsible for the Cookoofs its the Ammo stored EVERYWHERE ELSE around the SMALL Tank. If you run full load you can basically see that there is Ammo practically everywhere. The Autoloader in the T90 even has Kevlar Protection.

Nice vid! Plus, can you make vids like red effekt?

The statement that the western MBT's store ammo in separate compartments is highly misleading. Some like the M1 Abrams and only 2 versions of the Leopard 2 do indeed store ammo in compartments with blowout pannels. However the vast mayority of western MBT's do not. Challanger 2 stores ammo in the crew compartment with no blowout pannels, Leopard 2 variants all the way to the Leopard 2A5 store ammo in the crew compartment. Leclerc stores ammo in the crew compartment as well as the Ariete. There is ample evidence that Leopard 2's and Challanger 2's can indeed throw turrets or outright disintegrate if struck in the hull ammo stowage.

3:39 average TAM interaction

The western tanks, except the Chellenger

Hits which can cause the detonation of ammunition in carousel would obliterate the crew anyway, since damaging factors need to go through nearly entire crew compartment to reach it. Well, except for mines, they definetly are more dangerous to Russian tank crews. And in footage from Ukraine tanks are often detonated after crew escaped from them, leaving hatches open. That allows for easy access to carousel by drone-dropped bombs.
