[@CharliMorganMusic]

"Portholes so the men can shoot out." I think having portholes for IFVs is a stupid idea. Like, it already has a cannon. Why in the fuck anyone would want to make the cargo they're supposed to protect more vulnerable is beyond me.

[@Gloria-victrix99857]

Actually, Swedish IFV (CV90) has hatches that the Swedish troops often shoot out off, and they are not alone in this either since they have Tank support and other supporting Elements, the Germans did this in Ww2 as well, where Panzergrenadiers would shoot out of their Half-tracks, so there is the basis for it historically and in the modern-day with the Swedish forces. During Operation Desert Storm the M2 Bradley also has 6 firing ports. I'm not saying the M2s firing ports were really good, but, there is a basis for it in reality. But given the setting of Wolfenstein, I don't think the developers were aiming for realism here. Ironically, the firing ports were most useful in the M3 Cavalry variant of the Bradley, which reduces the number of passengers down to two soldiers acting as dismounted scouts, facing the rear doors and using the rear-firing ports; the rest of the compartment was delegated to storing additional ordnance like TOW missiles and 25mm shells. This removal of the original six passengers meant the internal space was reconfigured to allow for both more carrying capacity as well as redesigning the seats. As for the firing ports’ usefulness, the only useful role was for suppression, since precision fire was not possible within the confines of a moving vehicle nor would the periscopes and lack of weapon sights allowed for it; the magazine size also meant you might as well use the main gun or dismount and trust your luck with your actual rifle. It should be noted that firing ports were used in the contemporary Marder and BMP-1 designs, and it is not surprising that, given that these two vehicles fell away from firing port use, the Bradley did as well. The tactical doctrine made the use of firing small arms within a large armed moving vehicle made little contribution. They still have M231s stowed in Bradleys, though.

[@Gloria-victrix99857]

Firing ports also don't have to be very big either, just big enough to fire a rifle's barrel out of. Like in the M2 Bradley. So in reality it does not affect the survivability of the vehicle by much.

It has barebones armor design and it slopes only on certain parts, meaning projectiles can penetrate it easilly, especially from the sides. Its cannon is completely off the center of mass and too big for it, meaning it would topple if it fired at an off angle or while moving. And its profile is massive to begin with, target practice for aircraft . Plus, crewing this thing would be a nightmare, it has four turrets and a very small space. Talking realistically of course.

@@savage7882 Leman Russ is far from Mark 1. The first World War tanks had huge problems mainly because they were the first, and people couldn't really figure out how to make them and, most importantly, did not have the technology to allow for such machines to function properly. LRBT's tracks are usually protected at the top, and in case of urban fighting, usually also front-protected by the doser blades to clean the roads for infantry, Chimeras and other vehicles, should they follow. images.app.goo.gl/hQaz9LeUuTgKmZmTA Its front armor is sloped at a good angle, about 50° for both top and bottom parts. Side armor is a massive weakspot, but is necessary to fit additional sponsons, and even it is not easily penetrated, as it has a moderate thickness of plasteel behind it. It's cannon actually is surprisingly low-caliber, the standard one being 120mm. The thickness of the barrel comes from cooling systems and compensators, because the rounds use much more powerful fuceline as a chemical propellant. And even crewing it isn't that hard of a deal, because it has a crew of 4 men, or 6 with sponsons, but their places are not fully located inside of the hull and are installed with sponsons if necessary. They all are located in a tank the size of a Tiger, but taller, whilst actually being lighter, so it isn't that much of a target. Yeah, kind of cramped, but at the same time it's less than the crew of Tiger itself. Also, lascannon or heavy bolter installed in the front isn't actually a turret, but rather is more like hull-mounted MG, controlled indirectly by commander, driver or even main gunner if needed.

@@Spookston What about the Israeli Sherman M-51? Proper 105mm. Sure those have the bigger turret of the 76mm shermans but that doesn't mean that you can't fit a 90mm into the wolfenstein sherman turret with some creativity.

[@Spookston]

@@Annozocker15 Those don't have the 76mm turret, those have a specially constructed and modified French turret.

[@Wotplaya4]

@@Annozocker15 It's not the question whether you can fit it, but if you can make it ergonomically fit well enough, no use in a gun that takes up all of the turret space. The 75 turrets were already stretching their limits with the 17pdr, so i doubt a 90mm could fit in nicely. But hey, the barrel might just be for guiding rockets, nobody talked about what it fired...

[@Annozocker15]

@@Spookston No they used the standard T23 Turrets of the 76mm shermans and the gun was the modified french 105mm modelé f1 from the amx30 which was shortened to 44 caliber lengths instead of 56.

Would be interesting to put in a poll for a tank review of Red Faction Guerilla

[@xenomorph9114]

The armored car turret looks like an IS with double cannon from WoT.

40k next?

Do wh40k next!

[@MBkufel]

You should also notice that the Sherman's hull was a small-hatch, cast one. It means it was pretty early and primitive

[@cheezball0340]

2:45 the door is not actually for troops, i played that sequence of wolfenstein myself and the APC or however you might call it actually releases multiple drones from that hatch, that attack the player

[@pk-zi7lm]

has this guy ever designed a tank? he’s very knowledgeable about them, i’m sure his would be S tier

[@oldleatherhandsfriends4053]

@@TonyBustaroni The hardest part about designing a tank is making it transportable by air.

"the guns look 15 to 20mm" *Shows guns that are clearly 50 to 76mm*

[@Damian-03x3]

Probably 50mm. Maybe 75mm. But I highly doubt that germany would use 76mm cannons.

[@addinix17]

Spookston sounds just so done

[@SShari-bs2kx]

also about the armored car it seem the tyres is covered with steel cover that could prevent the tyre from turning in a maneuver

This video seemed cool, until I realized a furry made it.

[@autisticpain1960]

And how does that effect the video?

[@autisticpain1960]

@Alexander Wellen ahh ok

[@thegoodaussie1968]

the allies (U.S, British and commonwealth) used infantry telephone in the pacific war with the brits, aussies and kiwis been among the first to mount them on the rear turret or the rear of the hull.

[@saintmichaelsarchangel2644]

The armored personnel carrier is modeled after the German Sd.Kfz.234/2 armored car used by panzerjäger and sturmtroopen units

[@johnny-vb8ue]

Nice choice of music

[@macmccartney5760]

Check out the leclair mbt. It doesnt have bulge on barrel for fume extractor. Uses different extraction method

[@Radzaification]

That rangefinder looks like it is modeled directly from the Co queror's commanders turret/rangefinder setup

[@Alte.Kameraden]

Should really do a video like this on Valkyria Chronicles 1 & 4's tank designs. They're surprisingly good, but mostly because they're based off real tanks but with some flare. VC 4's main tank the Hofen is basically a M4 Sherman, as you progress and upgrade it, it turns pretty much into a M4A3E8 but with extra armor plating welded on. VC 1's main tank eventually turns into a Tiger II with a shorter barrel gun.

[@harleyinglis5360]

The rivits on the Upgraded sherman might be more of a repair to the armor then a modification. welding thicker metals together can be a issue, and welding cast required the cast peice to all be hot.

[@mrwehraboo5478]

Spookston you also forgot that the first tank is also based of the sd.kfz.232 8-rad

[@saintmichaelsarchangel2644]

With the, APC it might have a mechanical leaver to open the assault hatch as a fail safe

[@TheWhoamaters]

I'd say a big con for the sherman is that the new machine guns beside the turret would probably block the turret from traversing more than say 40 degrees total

[@andenbrown22]

infantry phones were first implemented in WW2 with the US at least. I think they started doing in in June 44 with the battle of Normandy

[@Normalguy1690]

That ODST music tho god u gotta go give me flashbacks.

[@ne3333t]

I love that you use halo music

[@terrorbilly3367]

glad to see more wolfenstein out there

[@MrMarinus18]

One I would like is Valkyria chronicles. The tanks overall look pretty normal but one strange thing is that the MBT's are two man even though they are slightly larger than a Sherman.
