The most impressive technologicsl advance to me, was when they found out how to make guns shoot without hitting the blades of the propeller.

[@smeghead765]

The synchronizer gear.

How does it work tho? Does the synchronizer stop the propeller when the gun shoots?

[@Ghostmaxi1337]

The breakthrough that impressed me most is still relevant today. Dont waste, reuse. Just like the Germans with outdated tanks. Pz I take of the turret put a shield with a 47mm gun on it bam usable mobile AT gun. You build 100 tanks wich arent that good and the other companys design is choosen for production? Put a 20 cm casemate and a long 88 on it bam got Ferdinand. And so on. Many new and useful designs were made out of old outdated ones. Fantastic.

[@Daddo22]

Germans did this out of necessity and weren't the only ones. I suppose you haven't seen Pz III chasis turned into TDs by Soviets, or their "literally AT gun on tracked tractor" "designs". Japanese also weren't slacking with their conversions of Chi-Ha and Ha-Go tanks, plus there are examples from WW2 from Eastern Europe and it doesn't stop at the end of WW2... and neither did it start during WW2. Turning previous generation of tanks into recovery and bridge-laying vehicles is common and there are even some 2nd uses that are bordering strange teritory. Firefighters in Slovakia have several converted T-55s (without turret or any guns of course) for the most extreme cases, for example.

[@alanwatts8239]

[@LupusGelos]

My personal favourite development was the invention of modern FPE. Every time a new tank was developed, regardless of if it was an almost 99% match to the previous one, it was 100% impossible to put out vehicle fires. So tank engineers had to find a way to redesign FPE having presumably burnt all design prints of the already existing ones upon the new tanks arrival.

[@stargazer2061]

I found the MBT bit interesting. I never really thought about how each tank in ww2 had different roles to play and how today's tanks are designed for almost all scenarios.

The most innovative thing that has happened in video game history was making Bruce a narrator, nothing has been better since

[@jtoddjb]

reactive armor has always blown my mind a bit. I'm older and it always seemed simple. You just take really good thick steel and put more and more on to make a tank tough to penetrate, but there was always going to be a limit to that. Mainly weight. The fact some genius figured out we don't have to make it as thick if we make it explode was really thinking outside the box

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

First remotely aimed (not blind-firing like in Hetzer) machine gun in an armored vehicle. First wheeled vehicle able to successfully engage enemy's medium tanks. First radar on self-propelled AA, and first radar (ground and air) on a combat helicopter. First ATGM on a helicopter.

[@blaringrocket2385]

Can you theoretically destroy a tank by shooting it down it’s barrel? I love your voice Bruce 😎

[@daspeed198]

if they had the breach open and were loading a round you could make it explode, or if you fired HE down it then it could cause some damage.

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

You can. Depending on the thickness, the breach might block all is the shrapnel but I have seen this done before. It is almost impossible now that shells are volumetric though.

[@majo3488]

Ingame? I already did this, once a brit used his 183 mm doom cannon in Toptier and I was sending the russian 125 mm HE in his barrel - from slightly above him. But I don't know if the explosion was really going though the breach or just sending waves to ammo the usual way.

[@Ghostmaxi1337]

Yes, even in another episode of the shooting range they talked about that and told some where something similar happened.
