[@Oddball_E8]

All of the "land ship tanks" are beasts due to that. The T-35 being the best of them, due to it having 3 separate guns that can keep firing even if one or two of them are knocked out. But the Independent, Neubaufahrzeug, SMK and now the 2C Bis are just as beastly due to the massive amount of crew. The LVT(A)(1) is a good runner up, with less crew, but it being in the tech tree certainly gives it a bonus. (I would include the T-28, but since the crew are all so close, it tends to die easily compared to most of the other tanks listed here)

The "handle" on the Rheinmetall turret was almost certainly a radio antenna. That style was found on light command tanks made by Russia and Japan. In the pre-war period Germany worked with Russia to design tanks, so it's not surprising to see an antenna that might have been influenced by theirs on that vehicle. After the war began, it was more common for the Germans to use rectangular bed-frame style antennas.

[@wfb.subtraktor311]

As a German, I have a slight correction to make: Neubaufahrzeug can mean both "new construction vehicle" and "vehicle from new construction (method)". Considering the context of this vehicle, the latter is likely closer to the intent of the designers.

I disagree, because the new in "new construction vehicle" here would be referring to the construction, due to how compound words work. If you wanted to call something a new vehicle for use in construction, you would call it "Neues Baufahrzeug" to make clear that the new-ness refers to the property of being a vehicle and not to the construction.

Sad to hear about Panzer Tracts going out of business, but to be honest it's pretty much been on life support since T.Jenz's death in 2012. I believe the company only published two additional books without him in the following decade (PT 8-1 Sturmpanzer-IV & PT 4-2 Pzkpfw-IV H, J). By comparison, when Jentz was the lead researcher, the publisher produced a book a year on average from the mid-90s until his death.

I believe that the British and French did something akin to a weapons exchange, Boyes anti-tank rifles for Hotchkiss 25mm. Now that was a side bar note in a photographic history of WW2 series of books I had a few of... so consider that as "source suspect". Certainly seen images of British using the Hotchkiss in France and even in North Africa (usually Portee as they were apparently too delicate for truck tow). However I have never seen any use of the Boyes by the French before the Fall of France and scant few of Free French units using them.

[@adnelvstad8656]

The Neubaufahrzeug saw combat in Gudbrandsdalen in Norway, a place where I am currently living. There is a well researched book by a Norwegian author that details the entire battle of Gudbrandsdalen and the book also lists the fate of all of the Neubaufahrzeug tanks that saw deployment here. The book is called "kampene i Gudbrandsdalen 1940" (The battles in Gudbrandsdalen 1940) and it's highly recommended, even if it is in Norwegian. From what I can remember from the book, at least 3 were destroyed in combat here.

Finally, my Favorite Tank steps into the spotlight on this channel.

[@JGCR59]

The german wiki article on the Neubaufahrzeug is pretty detailed re its service in Norway. The 3 Tanks were organized as Panzerzug Horstmann (named after the Commander Oberleutnant Horstmann) and subordinated to Panzerabteilung z.b.V. 40. They were unloaded in Oslo and attached to the 196. Infanterie Division but used sparingly as they could be penetrated by british anti-tank rifles. Tank No. 8 was the one hit in the battle at Kvam on 23 April 1940 by french 25mm Hotchkiss guns used by the British. The tank was hit twice by 25mm fire, one through the gun mantlet, the other hit the driver, killing him. The commander, Feldwebel Faulhaber, was killed by british machine gun fire while abandoning the tank. You can see the inscription "Feldw. Faulhaber 23.4.40" on the tank ab 7:04. It was a short lived tradition in the Panzerwaffe to comemmorate fallen comrades like this. While Kampfgruppe Pelengahr managed to win the battle and rout the enemy, Tank No. 8 could not be recovered and was blown up. Tank No. 9 was apparently extremely unreliable and usually out of action while tank No. 10 was involved in several more combats and ran over a british staff car while leading light tanks of z.b.V. 40. Sadly the wiki article has no direct footnote for the combat narrative. One other interesting thing is that there seem to be several sources claiming that either one or both remaining tanks were converted to Flakpanzers later, one by the SS Nordland division in Romania, the other was in Gdynia.

@@c3aloha While its armor is pretty weak (Like pretty much any other multi-turreted tank, except SMK), even the M2A2 could pen it, its firepower is so amazing that it can delete the entire neemy team without needing to take breaks to hide and reload. Its gun arrangement also makes it easy to fire over cover, which is one of the most fun wasy to use the short 75mm. The short 75mm alone makes for really good armament, (very powerful APCBC, high pen HEAT and very short reload) but it also has the 37mm, which has better velocity.

[@commissarfox]

@4:05 While not definitive evidence to clear the issue up, early Soviet tanks (T-26, T-28, and T-35 most especially) had similar "halo" shaped bars around the top of the turret on vehicles that had a radio to serve as an antenna that would not obstruct the commander's view or the turning of the turret. Given that, as stated in the Großtraktor video, the Germans would partner with the Soviets to run tank schools, among other things, it is very likely that this is either a shared or convergent design to serve the same role, namely the radio aerial for the Rheinmetall NbFz. On the Krupp turret shown afterwards, the radio antenna is a "whip"-style mounted at the aft-left of the main turret instead.

One of the wackiest things to exist from early German tank designs. I love this thing in real life and War Thunder, it's crazy what the development was like. I'd have to say the reason the (A) variant of the turret was probably not used due to the over-under gun design. I'd think (imo) that the over under would be harder to load since the 37 is over the 75, instead of the loader more or less sitting behind the 37 beside the 75, having an easier time getting to them. Idk, could be wrong but that seems more fair.

[@Bialy_1]

The Model 35 antitank rifle (Karabin przeciwpancerny wzór 35, abbreviated "kb ppanc wz. 35") was a Polish 7.9 mm anti-tank rifle used by the Polish Army during the 1939 invasion of Poland. It was designated model 35 for its design year, 1935: It was also known by its codename "Uruguay" and by the name of its designer, Józef Maroszek. Considering that this rifle was able to penetrate 33mm of armor from distance of 100mm at 30 deg angle, the thicknes of this heavy tank 20mm armor plates would be not effective years before the WW2 even started as that rifle would be able to penetrate its strongest plate from 250m and from that range the tank crew would not be able to spot the shooter hiden in some bush or a trench... In 1939 against German tanks this 7.9mm rifle was also very good at making shots into the gap betwen the turret and the main tank body and by doing so the tank was lossing its ability to travers its turret...

If I may suggest another tanks for Cursed by Design, how about Polish 10TP and 14TP. First one was cursed by the concept of cruiser, lightly armoured tank on Christie suspension.

I think the concept has some potential to work with modern tech. Specifically in the form of automated small machine gun turrets (by small, I mean their tops being like 2 inches above the hull, so that the main turret is not impeded by them). The turrets could be automatic with various sensors, and one of the crew could basically be notified when it sees what it thinks is a target, and then give the yes or no at firing at it. If the gun chosen is accurate/powerful enough for the task, there could also be an automatic setting for small, high velocity objects in an attempt to use them as point defense too.

Following the reunification of Germany, more documentation on the NbFz medium tanks came to light. Armour layout of the B model: Gun mantlet = 70mm. Turret front, sides & rear = 13mm. Sub turrets = 13mm. Deck & floor = 6mm. Of those that saw combat in Norway: One B model was ambushed, after it broke through a roadblock made of furniture and as it approached a village, it was hit several times by a British crewed Hotchkiss 25mm. AT gun, causing it to catch fire and burn out. The crew all escaped safely. One B model was ambushed by a Boys AT rifle team, killing the driver. The AT rifle team kept firing on the tank until the tank started smoking and the crew bailed out. The small fire later extinguished itself. This tank was recovered & repaired later. This is the only casualty recorded on a NbFz in combat. One B model became trapped in marshy ground, on the front line and was blown up, during the night, by German sappers. One unarmoured A model, sent as a replacement, was ambushed and destroyed by Norwegian troops during street fighting, using Molotov cocktails.

When it comes to multi turret vehicles like this i do feel maving machine guns instead of extra cannons would be easier to manage as they probably wont need directed as much by the commander i would assume. Give them enough vision to see and just have them cover the tank from infantry and lighter targets so the commander can focus on the rest of the vehicle. Though overall im thinking an SMK design eith the cannon turret intact but instead of a 45 have a smaller single man MG. Or even a light cannon like say a 20mm auto cannon. Something that can be easily served by a single man and can be operated by them separately from rhe rest of rhe vehicle. This would also make it a lighter vehicle. Possibly solving some issues. Pretty much what alot of modern tanks do today with remote MGs/auto cannons. Could possibly even have it controlled by the driver or radio operator like the hull MGs on many vehicles and have a early remote control system like some vehicles had

I don't believe there's any reason to have the significantly increased complexity and weight of having two turrets, compared to just having a second vehicle. It makes more sense to just have another vehicle that can engage a different target rather than having multiple turrets and having a worse vehicle that can do less and is more costly to replace.
