Bolt Action 2.0 Unboxing: Sherman V

[@youegg9873]

I love the bolt action/flames of war unboxings with the historical information behind "everything".

[@stevejones20000]

Man, I just love listening to these guys talking about this stuff.

[@KnightofRome01]

I come to these unboxing videos for the waxing of the lyrical. I would love to just hear John go on for hours while I work on my hobby stuff.

They wrongly identified the second tank in this video, They said it was an M4A1 or a Sherman I. there are two errors with this statement, first being that all M4A1s had a cast, rounded hull, and second is that an M4A1 would be a Sherman II. The model is a post 42 M4.

[@Tigerheart01]

I'd want to own an M18 Hellcat. Looks sexy, and would be a blast to drive. "ordinary" people wouldn't know it wasn't a real tank and had no armor. To actually answer your question though between the two tanks, Tiger 1. Most iconic. Most people wouldn't even know what a Tiger P is.

[@readhistory2023]

The M18 is my fav. It's speed more than makes up for it's lack of effective armor.

[@Tigerheart01]

That 76mm gun was nothing to sneeze at either. Stood a reasonable chance of penetrating a Panther in the front, other German army was easy, even Tiger 1.

[@maliceharding4668]

a tiger p Mark 2 I think it is where all of the issues for the tiger po was fixed but only one was made and I think it was destroyed but the designer in a fit of rage

[@denethorpalantir2815]

since mechanical reliability isn't modeled in Bolt Action, Tiger I

[@readhistory2023]

The elimination of the crew hatches was because it was a weak spot on the armor.

By the way, Churchill was originally a cavalryman: he charged with the 21st Lancers at Omdurman. His association with the Navy only came about after he entered politics: he was First Lord of the Admiralty (a political position) at the start of both world wars.

I thought the small first aid box was the telephone box?

[@jawa011]

Well of course it would be the one that went into mass production for obvious reasons :P However the chassis used on the Tiger P version was used for a much nicer and meaner thing, called Ferdinand tank destroyer :D

[@daviddole4435]

Toger p as long as they had it running with no problems

[@stuntdubble]

HA! I'd wait for them to convert the Tiger P into the Ferdinand. I'll bring my own machine guns for it to be an Elephant.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thanks john .

[@extreme_loe]

Sorry John pretty sure the a2 is Sherman 3 sooooo Sherman m4 Sherman 1 Sherman m4a1 Sherman 2 Sherman m4a2 Sherman 3 Sherman m4a3 Sherman 4 Sherman M4A4 Sherman 5 And the US Sherman is an a2 sooo it’s a Sherman 3! :)

[@jerry2357]

The description of “Blitzkrieg” is more of a description of the Panzer division than Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg was actually a continuation of traditional Prussian war of manoeuvre using modern technology. For instance, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnSxqGWbYr-Yntk

[@DanBray1991]

Any comments concerning using the Cromwell vs the Sherman in boltaction? About to get into the game and wondering if I should try and go full native with a british army.

[@scruggs6633]

Even if you decide to go for a Sherman, Britain received almost 80% of all the lend lease Shermans made, so it wouldn't be out of place at all.

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

#TimeForTanks make it trend #ShermanLove too ?

[@garybellis6613]

tiger 1 every time 😀 but I still prefer the British firefly sorry

[@ThroatSore]

Is airfix bad then?

[@sinisabalentovic9617]

Sherman m4 over Cromwell all the way🤗

[@Boerharms_Manta]

Tiger I.. looks better, more manoeuvrable and more reliable.. also the Tiger I is simlpy legendary..

[@loupiscanis9449]

[@stevenmcfarlane8730]

[@gl4487]

[@lukehess7765]

Every Western Allies army needs a sherman?!? Tell that to my stuart platoon, that took out 3 panthers in a recent tourney!

[@loupiscanis9449]

[@heretic192]
