[@RoninTF2011]

+SkullKing11841 Just saying that terrain in central europe (germany for that matter, as there would have been a, or even the, main frontline) has really plenty of hills and slopes. A good gun depression helps a lot when trying to maintain a hull down position and still be able to engage. If you tanks can't bring its gun down very far...you have to expose yourself more. My reference to north germany in that regard(sry, didn't make that clear)was because that, and "Fulda gap" where the 2 main routes where a quick deployment of armour would have been an option.

[@SkullKing11841]

RoninTF2011 I know, the Soviet requirement was that the tanks be low because most of the terrain they would be fighting on is mostly flat and has small rises in the ground so being low makes you a smaller target and opens cover up to you were a taller tank would have it's turret exposed, there is always a trade off.

@u bakaThe earlier ones could, but later models couldn't.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

Older tanks were still very capable machines as engineers and armor designers around the world did their jobs exceedingly well. We just have much more powerful and capable machines these days due to the frankly insane rate at which tank technology advanced during the Cold War, doesn't make the old tanks useless even if they're obsolete just not effective against modern armor and anti-armor weapons. Essentially if you're a low tech country that needs armor support you'll take whatever you can get and most functional tanks on the market will serve their purpose regardless if they're obsolete. As a wise man once said "a bad tank is better than no tank at all". In a modern context if properly modernized the T-62 would be a capable killer of older tanks (like variants of itself or Chieftains, M60s, Leopard 1s, and older tanks) and more lightly armored vehicles out to serious ranges, possibly greater than 1.5km (which while unimpressive for modern standards is still very useful if you don't have better vehicles). Against modern armor it's unfortunately hopeless from a frontal aspect as modern armor is designed to withstand much more potent threats than the 115mm could ever hope to be and their guns will tear the T-62 apart. Modern NATO tanks being armored to stop the common Russian 125mm and the modern Russian tanks being armored to resist the common NATO 120mm. It can be argued how well these tanks do so as we have little information on modern Russian armor performance against NATO 120mm ammunition save for old Iraqi T-72s which were demolished with ease at ranges out to 2.5km on average and even out to 4.5km at most during the Gulf War. The Abrams and Challenger 2 also proved to be immune to older 125mm ammunition at short range during the Gulf War but ammunition has advanced both severely and rapidly since then on both sides.

People blast T-62 low gun depression but the upside is a much smaller, closer the ground turret. If you think about it, the advantage gained by a lower-profile tank in all terrain far outweighs the disadvantage of a lower gun depression only when the tank is uphill facing downhill.

[@kevinjaitejmontbose5377]

Yep, like in World of Tanks.

[@Jake-dh9qk]

tank size rarely matter unless you're in close promity where an inch will make a difference of hitting or grazing. but in longer range skirmishes, which is the more probable scenario, that that extra few inches in turret size will not matter at all because if the enemy misses you, it's going to be by a few hundred feets. and if he hits you, it's not because of your tank's smaller size. not only that, turret height will not matter because shots will be coming towards you at an angle due to trajectory, so it will hit your tank whether you have a short or tall turret.

[@LtAce150]

Except all of those advantages are completely erased by the lack of gun depression. The T-62 and all follow on Soviet MBTs actually have to expose a far greater portion of the tank than any of its western counterparts. This means that an attacking T-62 (or any other Soviet MBT) will be exposed for a far greater period of time before it can get its gun on target.

[@zepter00]

Israelis destroyed so many T-62 becuse these machines exposed more what stand on the top of the hill than Centurion, M-48 and M-60 s

[@randomdude4136]

It's a matter of doctrine and geography Russia will fight on the open European plains if they ever deploy tanks, while america has to worry about defending both it's European and Asian allies thus needs a more versatile tank that can fight in the hills of Korea, the forests of SEA and the plains of Europe, neither design is stupid or bad just made for different situations. The Russian T series tanks will perform much better in open fields while the american tanks can be effective in more types of terrain

[@anarchyandempires5452]

So now that we know that the entire Russian military would have been cut apart by even the forces we already had in not Europe but just the border with the USSR at the time how do you feel? I mean to be fair who would have thought that it wasn't optimism but the pure cold knowledge that they knew the Soviet forces didn't really stand a sliver of a chance against the NATO alliance, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not judging you it's just that I'm surprised it took until the war in Ukraine for us all to realize just how shit Russian equipment is, seriously tip of the spear T-80BVMs, T-72B3s and T-90s are getting absolutely shat on by not only modern ATGMs but even Legacy M72 LAWS and RPG-7s not to mention the countless vehicles that have been burned to a crisp by nothing more than Molotov cocktails. Can you imagine if the Russians had actually tried to break through the prepared defenses of the NATO alliance and had nothing better than T-62s!? Like Jesus the poor bastards would have gotten shattered like glass as soon as the TOW missiles started flying, not to mention the sheer absurdity of trying to supply the fuel and food necessary to keep over 10,000 tanks running while relaying on the entirely ineffective Soviet and Russian supply lines, on God bro!

[@box8524]

@Carnivorus The T-62 can defend but honestly in the area like the middle east where it may be hilly more often than between Germany to Russia, it would kind of fail since the M60 and Centurion had great gun depression so those two tanks could easily poke over and only show the strong-ish turrets and easily shoot down, or how the T-62 is more limited in the spots they defend. Though the only reason why the T-62 may be good in attack is just wave tactics, and of course you choose where you attack. Russian's were heavily influenced by WWII and adopted a lot of weapons to match that doctrine. T-62 was relatively cheaper than the other tanks. Crew comfort was a less of a priority. All in all the T-62 is capable but is designed for cheaper use. It can attack and defend and really depends on the commanders. Egypt however during this period, I never studied them, but as most middle eastern armies, commanders are not the best always and they tend to rely on more basic tactics. Though some do break that idea, I am talking majority.

[@mortarriding3913]

@@Graymenn not entirely true. As I mentioned; towed guns are much cheaper. Tanks are only useful where your retreat would be dynamic, but retreat in a tank is slower than advance in a tank. So you expose yourself by retreating, and this is before we factor in the enormous issues with facing artillery, and other combined arms. Tanks in defence were used to advance.

The intro is very cool

[@raulkiss9124]

Finally a show that it's not propagandistic toward USA.....Same for russians.....

[@raulkiss9124]

Nope never mind. ..I just watched the last part.....

[@napalmcz]

same here -_-

[@woolfoma]

remember, this was shown to US soldiers. If they said "this tank will fuck your shit goodbye" no one would even try to fight it... lel.

[@woolfoma]

Dymitry the gamer Dix out!

[@ihatecabbage7270]

There should be a documentary on how to fight M1 Abrams and M 60 Patton, I like to know both tank weakness too!

[@Adam-zi5se]

M60 has weak side armor, abrams only weak spot is directly behind it

[@ihatecabbage7270]

Adam Mendoza Isn't that supposed to be all tank weaknesses?

[@Andal8811]

M1s get knocked out from all directions with modern anti-tank handhelds (Iraq, Yemen). Just not when the US use them, as they have superior tactics,infrantry shielding them and CAS.

[@MajesticDeathray]

+Andal8811 The M1s you're referring to are M1A1SE1-2 tanks. They're the Saudi export versions, which have the same equipment as the American M1A2 but without the Chobham armor the American tanks have applied. It has a steel + Depleted Uranium mix armor. Doesn't mean the American version is invincible, tho.

[@Andal8811]

Still any tank is worthless without proper tactics and secured flanks. A child can blow it up if it gets close enough.

[@aurathedraak7909]

Awesome. I love these kind of videos and information

[@qwertybase]

For many years to come indeed… 😆

[@cferbentn88]

Still get more out of these videos, than you ever will a power point presentation.

[@InkyMEDIC4728]

I like how the narrator agreed that the tank is good but it has its flaws. Also I think the T-62 would be better if they removed that shell ejector, sealed the ejector hatch, and placed the ammunition is a little safer place...also tank skirts.

wow I see that you are a wot player too. Quicky Baby

[@enimapodopamine6009]

Skipped step 1 because of a step 4,step 3 exactly,and I'm on a step 2 obviously (^.^)

[@HoxtonLive]

The video says T-62 can only fire 4 rounds a minute and cannot move the turret while reloading, the T62-A has only sight upgrades over the former. Now compare this information with what Russian tanks are in WoT.

[@tianshiyuan4728]

Strong turret armor, high rate of fire, never let it go hull down on you.

[@abacs21]

High rate of fire? The thing could fire a maximum of 4 rounds a minute.

[@neetmagnet3591]

+abacs21 op plays too much world of tanks that's why he thinks it has a high rate of fire

[@abacs21]

Richard Turner Because the one in Wot is the T-62A with a 100mm gun, the 115mm U-5TS had significantly worse RoF

[@neetmagnet3591]

abacs21 the U8TS, which was the 100mm gun was not that fast firing either. Fuck that game too its so unrealistic

Alright now we need a training video on how to take out a T-14 Armata.

[@alexandrefarre1553]

There's probably already one, but heavily classified for sure

[@jeancarlosbasilio5310]

DEADPOOL FR no I don’t think there is but I’m sure there is a video oh how to destroy m1a2 Abrams

[@alexandrefarre1553]

M1A2 for sure tho, T14 might not have been studied enough you're right

[@Tie-dyed-wisdom]

Put it in a parade, that seemed to take it out

[@erwin669]

Drop a JDAM on the garage it is being stored in between parades. The T-14 will never see combat much less be fielded outside parade units.

[@616CC]

What I got from the video It takes everything we’ve got to take out the T-62

[@K_Sol]

with this tank coming to warthunder along side the m60a1 this video needs more views from the American tank community

[@kcz1093]

it is indeed. though Steel Armor: Blaze of War serves these tanks (t62 and M60a1) true justice, a real sim with fully modeled interiors

[@K_Sol]

+K “Kev2go” Cz never played steel armor, thanks for the recommendation I will definitely check it out!

[@bedouinknight9437]

lol just shoot the front armor and boom the tank explode just like the T54 xD

[@Orca19904]

I actually posted a link to this video on War Thunder's Facebook page in reply to their post announcing the launch of v1.61. Hopefully that will generate more attention to it and prove useful to players encountering this tank in the game.

[@kcz1093]

Chris Teet it may but i dont think it wont. Gajin doesnt simulate the exact chatercists of the T62. IE the gunner can track targets through his sight during reload, gun doesnt elevate, and the turret is movable during reload. so it doesnt have any of the flaws a real t62 would have save for a longer reload rate. . Now i dont think its in any way OP, but because of this its just better in game that it was IRL or how its represented in a Sim like Steel Armor blaze of war, therefore a m60 tanker would be able to exploit these, which he can in WT due to how the T62 was implemented. even from an aesthetics perspective, you dont see the T62s back turret door open and eject spent cases, which is a bit disappointing.

[@arkboy3]

1977!? Cool, a new one!

[@craighaldane-gy3mk]

And who would think watching this in 2023 the Russians would be using these t62 in Ukraine and even older t55s 🙈...

[@SPAMsammiches]

I never knew how funky the T62 was...

After nearly 40 years of this video clip, the T62 tanks of the Syrian army, as well as other T54/55 tanks, are still fighting and operating very actively. The Soviet Union produced tanks that were cheap and easy to use, moreover, they were easy to maintain and operate. The Russians regularly supply parts of T54/55 and T62 tanks to the Syrian armed forces in the fight against terrorism. The mechanical components of Soviet tanks are easy to manufacture, if you have the engineering drawings of the engine parts from the Russians, you can manufacture it with CNC machines. Despite the losses, the old Soviet tanks still fight in the Syrian army and confront the terrorist forces. But in contrast, the American M60 tanks do not have such durability advantages. Its operating and repair costs are quite high, its combat operations in the Turkish army met with many failures that caused the Turks to find ways to get rid of it. It and other American-made tanks are suitable for equipping US allies with good financial conditions for their militaries. Soviet tanks may be old, but they are durable, like your grandfather's bicycles, or farmers' tractors. You can compare them with Toyota Hilux in terms of durability.

[@jonhart7630]

The T-62 wasn't popular with non-Soviet Warsaw Pact countries. They preferred to make their own T-55 under licence or wait to the T-72 to come along. Bulgaria was the only Warsaw Pact country to take delivery of T-62 tanks. The T-62 was, however, exported in large number to a lot of non-aligned countries outside of Europe from North Korea, who went on to make their own version, to countries in the Middle East and Latin America.

[@patriotenfield3276]

@@jonhart7630 Cuba is the only nation in the Americas who actually used these tanks. plus Cuba and Angola puta fair good amount of them alongside T-54s andT-34-85 Against the SADF in the Angolan civil war . and also in the Ethiopian ogaden war

[@jonhart7630]

@@patriotenfield3276 The South Africans used them as well when they captured them.

[@patriotenfield3276]

@@jonhart7630 I don't remember SADF putting any captured enemy armor back into use, since it made their logistics task more complicated , more fuel consumption (precious embargo oil) and unlike the South African Vehicles , the Soviet vehicles weren't specialised and suited for the needs of SADF ( lightly armored, fuel efficient, having water storage tanks , good mileage , IED/Mine proof and most importantly not getting stuck with an in approriate technology which required a longer training and ammunition doesn't match) . They gave away a large number of the captured T-34-85, T-54/55s and T-62s to UNITA , Rhodesians and RENAMO . and used the rest as technology testbeds for their Olifant MK1B , Olifant MK2 and TTD (Tank technology demonstrator) projects , out of which only the Olifant saw the light of the service.

[@jonhart7630]

@@patriotenfield3276 I think you are right. I thought the South Africans briefly used them in battle like the Israelis briefly used captured Syrian T-62s in battle.

You know I wonder what the Soviet Films about our Tanks are like? :/

[@MaxiosMB]

+Supes Me I would be surprised if they were as unbiased. But then again when the T62 started rolling out of the factory they were superior to the M60 so who knows? (Even tho the advantage was fairly slim)
