@andrewlee-do3rf3 жыл бұрын
22:31-22:49 Yes. The T-62 was able to penetrate both the Chieftain, and M60 Patton tanks. During combat in the Iran-Iraq war, it was found that the British Chieftain tanks were being penetrated by 115mm ammunition, at the front of the turret, and upper glacis plate (according to the data I have, apparently 70% of the Chieftains were knocked out, mostly by 115mm guns). What's even more surprising was the fact that something as "mundane" as steel-cored APDSFS from the T-62's gun, was able to achieve these frontal penetrations (against the Chieftains), with good reliability, and at around 1 km range (or more) This vulnerability of the Chieftains was also proven (at nearly the same distance, same gun, same ammunition, and same impacted points) during Soviet tests as well. I recall, that the Russians managed to capture (relatively) intact Chieftain (specifically Mk.5 versions. These British tanks were sold to the Iranians, which were then captured by the Iraqis. Which were then given/donated to the Soviets by the Iraqis), and M60 Patton tanks. With these captured vehicles, they were able to perform extensive tests on them. Because of these tests, the Soviet engineers concluded that Chieftain tanks were vulnerable to 115mm, and 125mm guns. The most notable thing, that I remember from the report is that, areas of 240mm LOS thickness (on the Chieftain, and M60 tanks) are fully exploitable by 115mm guns using finned ammunition (both steel, and tungsten cored ammunition) ** A) www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp82t00709r000102700002-6 (Just to make sure I am not bullshitting about Soviets testing captured Chieftain tanks given by the Iraqis. Here is a CIA intelligence report about the presence of British Chieftain tanks in Leningrad testing areas) B) btvt.info/3attackdefensemobility/432armor_eng.htm (Some details about Soviet tests on captured Chieftain tanks, and a study of the vulnerability of these British tanks) C) thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/t-62.html?m=1#ap (Some more information about the T-62's 115mm APDSFS ammunition.

19k here. I was a loader on an Abrams during a gunnery, and all my 6' tall ass was worried about was getting the next round up, and not letting the breech block remove my knees. My TC said "after you load this next one, come up top". So I threw in a sabot, locked breech lever up and came up top and sat. "Up!" I remember the sun had already set, and there was just a hint of orange and purple along the horizon of the hills. My TC said to me "take a big breath and try not to blink" as he pointed at the end of the barrel. So I did. TC went ahead- "Fire!" "On the way!" A gigantic flash of light filled my entire field of vision, and all of the air was sucked out of my lungs, and replaced with this explosive smell. It was like everything that excites a child about fireworks, multiplied to the highest possible level. I couldn't tell you if it was loud.. there was just the concussion that stuns you, and by the time my vision came back to me, I could see a little orange ball flying away from us and impacting the hill far away. I let out an excited cheer that came out on its own, looked over at my TC and said "Fuck yeah!", who was staring back at me grinning and just said "there ain't nothing like it." It probably gave me 6 kinds of cancer and took 10% of my hearing, but that smell, that glow.. I'll never forget it.

No beating around the bush, or pretending there's a benevolent motivation beyond "We have a game, we want you to play it." The fact that this intention results in excellent content, such as The Chieftain's Hatch blog, is an amazing side effect, probably because they spend nothing on trying to trick us about the purpose of their content.

G'day Ian & Nick, Great to see you two 'gun experts' together again, having as much fun one can have with earplugs in, so to speak. You got to hand it to Nick, put him next to a tank and he'll start talking till he dehydrates; the sun goes down or until someone shouts, "Shoot!" Seriously, though, anyone who has sat through his lectures on tanks, tank warfare through the years or any of the talks he gives on military history will tell you he's a captivating speaker. Some years ago I started watching his channel and he got me hooked on all things tank. Pretty amazing because I'm an ex-RAAF type and back then we simply called tanks, "targets". Nick has taught me so much about tanks as you, Ian has taught me volumes on firearms that I've never seen or heard of before. Thank you, gentlemen. Great shooting, Ian and your 'mystery' Russian helper. Pardon me, I've got to go play WoT, see if I can buy myself a T-62... Da, da, da Cheers, BH

They are actually extremely rare to find in Germany so i am really thankful to have these. Keep up the good work.

It is not like crew cant use gun at all without the casing ejection system, also in case of NBC attack crew supposed to wear personal gas masks as well, also there is standard ventilation system, it is just not fully capable of getting rid of the gases quickly enough. Tank also has natural limit of how much it can fire without the ejection system since there is not a lot of space to put empty shell cases in the tank. Basically it is not that much of a problem considering that supposedly nukes would be going off.

@@marc0523 they are usually 'positive pressure' sytems where air is drawn in through a compressor/fan system and filtered, then injected into the crew compartment and allowed to exit through orifices naturally. As long as the pressure is high enough for long enough, opening the breech to insert a shell, or the very brief opening of the spent case hatch, should not really upset the system, as the filtered air should flow OUT and naughty contamination should not flow IN. This would also help with any fumes from fired weapons by using fresh filtered air to push stale or polluted air out. I think.

It depends on how much HE you can carry. When you have a total of 42 rounds and some of them have to be anti tank, a machine gun with many thousand rounds available is probably more deadly to infantry. Quantity has a quality of its own.--- A sociopath operating under an assumed name.
@ExarchGaming3 жыл бұрын
It wasn't so much that they thought it was more lethal, rather they felt it was more economical due to the limited space for said HE rounds (because a number of those had to be HEAT or Fin-Stabilized Sabots.
