Love the German halftracks. The 8 ton was really more of an artillery tractor, being unarmored. Only downsides compared to American M2 was the front wheels were un powered and interleaved wheels would get packed with mud .

Специфическое "шахматное" расположение катков для гусениц не позволяло продолжать движение по сильной вязкой грязи и при обрыве гусеницы, а так же затрудняло ремонт в полевых условиях. Когда мы делали игрушечные модели немецкой техники - у игрушек были те же недостатки, как и описывали очевидцы событий у оригинальных машин ввиду очевидно не совсем удачных инженерных решний. Вторым существенным недостатком для такой военной машины и созданных на её базе танков - был бензиновый двигатель, а не дизельный. Бензиновый двигатель хотя и давал вцелом претмущества в скорости, тем не менее делал технику незащищенной от возгорания при повреждении, что и становилось часто фатальным в боевых условиях.

[@user-ev5ul8km5w]

А что думаете насчет жесткого крепления гусеничного движетеля к раме из за которого получается что передний мост отрывается от земли и рулежка становится невозможной если конечно еще нет бортоповоротов как на танке , но тогда вопрос будет за зачем вообще нужен передний мост ... мне кажется еслиб движетель устанавливался к раме через шарнир то вес бы распределялся гораздо лучше , а если еще к этому шарниру добавить гидроцилиндры чтоб можно было бы при желании поднять перед чтоб перебросить его через дерево или акоп было вообще прекрасно

@@wolf310ii it makes it cheaper then designing all wheel drive offroad truck OR then designing fully tracked vehicles. That's why Kettenkrad exists for example. De facto it's an ATV. Retaining the turn wheels allows halftracks to have simpler transmission then the one that would be needed for turning on fully tracked vehicles. Having long track instead of second pair of wheels allows it to spread weight and force over more area and thus avoid having complicated gearbox of all wheel drive. Do you have a sense of deja vu when reading the last sentence? 🤣

@@TheArklyte You have no clue about halftracks or mechanic in general, do you? The US halftracks WERE all wheel drive, with the back wheels replaced with tracks. Tracks have a lot more parts than wheels, wich makes it more complicated and more expensive. The German Halftracks had complicated gearboxes like fully tracked vehicles and are more complicated than fully tracked vehicles too, because the frontwheel steering had to be combinated and syncronised with the track steering. The only reason for the German 3/4 halftracks having front wheels instead of being fully tracked, was the smoother steering on the road, in heavy terrain the front wheels became pretty much useless, especialty on the Kettenkrad.

halftracks can get up muddy hills that wheeled vehicles can't.

all the hate aside Nazi Germany, taught the US a thing or two about engineering, but was just as bad about troop prevention, where to you take cover on that thing. US Troops, "they also have springs in their mattresses😮"

Those Gerries knew how to travel. That is one hell of a bus

A vehicle like that from the era of Hitler still strikes fear in many people today.

It seems to be at the World War Museum in Overloon in the Netherlands. There is an Event every year that called Militracks, where you can visit the Museum and drive as a passenger with different WW2 Vehicles such as the 8-ton and many others. The next Militracks Event is from 25.05-26.05.24
