I recall i saw a video mentioning a german tanker's manual from WW2 that did mention that they were safer from enemies at a slight angle, in a tiger, specifically. Not to the degree of suggesting it on purpose, but it was mentioned to be a factor.

[@PanzerPaw]

I know the one you mean and it's absolutely correct. It's just not something you'd consciously be trying to do. The main consideration is facing the strongest armour towards the enemy first. Everything else is more or less secondary.

[@kroo6613]

​@@PanzerPawso no german tank commanders calculating the perfect angle with a protractor? 🤣

[@PanzerPaw]

Haha no. My training was basically: if you're hoping to ricochet a shot, you've already made a hundred wrong moves to get to that point.

​@@PanzerPawLike enlisting

[@boperadotto8703]

@@PanzerPaw I doubt they focused on it back in the day, regardless, but it is worth noting that the modern tanks you're familiar with have side armor that is comparatively much less effective. Angling their armor would actually make you more vulnerable.

[@LenfredDueck]

Another good choice for the 57mm would have been the M4A5 Ram II. In a downtier its a monster with its quirky armour.

[@Just_a_Dude80]

The deal with the gun on the comet is that it's a 3 inch gun (so a 76.2mm) but the 17 pounder's ammo was already designated as 76mm so to avoid confusion they just called it a 77mm

[@o-hogameplay185]

it was actually the same projectile as the one on the 17 pdr, but the power casing was from a 32 pdr

yeah. This or the casing was slightly longer as far as I remember and couldn't fit into "normal" 17pdr@@o-hogameplay185

-too long-

[@marty_2336]

One thing about side scraping... The manual for Tiger 1 crews actually contained a chapter about it, so you might not worry about it in combat as if it was your priority, but the german commanders were literally thought to do it.

[@WalletWorrier]

Tip for the Sturmtigor: use the range set feature and preset the gun to 50-100m. After 100m the drop off is still large, but consistent and setting the sights like this makes it a lot easier to aim.

[@treetrunks4175]

watching panzer paw is so refreshing. 99% percent of wt videos on yt are either people complaining abt how unbalanced the game is, guides on how to spend your money or compilations of the game being unfair.

24:30 In practice, this 77mm is still 76.2mm. It's called the 77 because it's a QF 17-pounder but has a shortened lock, making it weaker.

[@BugattiONE666]

I believe it was the barrel of the 17pounder, fitted to the breach of a 3inch flak gun. The reason being to let it fit in the turret xD

[@GeorgeousOP]

Was actually the British in WW2 so they wouldn't confuse ammo with the 17pdr (also 76.2mm or 3 inch)

[@PanzerPaw]

The US did a similar thing with the 106mm recoilless gun. It's technically a 105mm but the ammunition isn't compatible with other guns.

[@CriticalHitRabbit]

30:28 I am not 100% sure and i cant be bothered to look up but i somewhat remember that poor gun depression on soviet tanks was partly due to tanks design ( low profile hull and/or turret ) and partly due to soviet tank doctrine. Where as gun elevation came from the fact that soviet doctrine used tanks alot for indirect fire, basically as a artillery.

[@PanzerPaw]

You're right that the result is a mix of both things but doctrine very often is the driving influence of the design of tanks. So, that's what I was getting at. Hopefully I made it clear enough in the video tho!

The mortar looking thing on the south african armored car is a 60mm flare launcher, based on a 60mm mortar with a lee enfield trigger group bolted to the back.

[@Litterbugtaylor]

The 76.2mm is listed on all 17pdr armed tanks, the 77mm is a modified 17pdr and it gets APDS which is just superior to APHE. Also kinda actually waitfor the biggest gun in the game, the 183mm not the 380mm rocket launcher
