8:10 Being harder to climb up on is really a disadvantage when you're trying to climb up to your own, open topped turret. When the enemy infantry is trying to get up there, it might be a bit of an advantage. However, this is an open-field gun, rolling with the heavy armor. (I.E. not a good Urban Assault Gun for obvious reasons: Buildings, with roofs, and possibly upper floors.)

We were able to get behind the scenes at many secure places on military bases. Knox was 1. They had a lot full of foreign tanks they used for study like penetration testing and identification for tankers Then they used them for targets. I've sat on and in some amazing vehicles. Fun story- he hauled a Mercury space capsule from Johnson Space Center to a museum that was being built It stayed in his warehouse for a year and I played in that thing the whole time. Very cool childhood being around all the military people, vehicles and gear. Thanks for the channel tip. If you can get to Benning you gotta see the 28. Its amazing.

The engines were lc and la for clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation of the crankshaft. The 71 series engines could be produced In either variant by changing the cam, starter p, oil pump and if i am not mistaken the crank and supercharger blower but all other part# were the same (block, pistons, heads, etc). If you have two crankshafts outputting to gears engaging with a common flywheel, they need to have opposite rotations.
@ravenouself4181
@ravenouself4181 2 ай бұрын
to add to this: if the connection between the crankshafts and the common flywheel is a simple cog system, the engines would indeed have to have opposite rotations. if it is a more complex cog system, or a chain/belt system, the engines wouldn't need to have opposite rotations. the advantages of the former are that it is more reliable as there is less parts and the power transfer is more direct, the disadvantages are that there are 2 types of engines and 2 sets of parts. the advantages of the latter is that there is 1 engine type and 1 set of parts. the disatvantages are that it's less reliable due to the number of parts and that the power transfer is not as direct.

Bloody late comment but never mind. My father was a heavy diesel mechanic for decades. Apparently, the old 2-stroke Detroit diesels (GM’s diesel division until about the late 90s) that he used to work on and drive were capable of running both clockwise and counterclockwise and parts had to be ordered accordingly. I suspect that it’s entirely likely that one engine ran one direction and the other the opposite, either both crankshaft spinning towards the center or both spinning outboard. For. Reasons. Just a thought.

Tank Corps/1223rd S.P.A.R. Artillery Regiment. Equip with the 76mm M7 gun and a 12.7mm Browning HMG. "see Allied tanks of WWII- By David Porter". Interesting historical note is that Audie Murphy was issued the Medal of Honor for Battle of Colmar Pocket, in a burning Wolverine. Using the 12.7 Mg to rip apart the advancing German infantry, halting there advance.

If I remember correctly on the inline Gm diesel engines( aka Detroit Diesel) .the LC and LA codes designate their arrangement and rotation. The "L" means left hand rotation, and the A and C has to do with what side the intake and exhaust systems are located.(among other things) The Gm 2 strokes were very well designed and versatile and had a long and fruitful existence., and millions are still in use around the world today. But D.D. is now owned by Daimler Benz. Most parts do exchange between the different orientations in the same series and were every bit as universal and exchangeable as the famous small block was, but because of the numerous orientations, some parts end up being mirror images of each other thus are not interchangeable. In a side by side tandem drive situation like this you would normally have the blower and the exhaust on the the outboard side allowing for a closer pairing of the 2 engines.

Not certain who decided to label a British TD as American but they did no research. The 601 TD was never part of the 5th Armored. The 628TD served as the organic tank destroyer battalion for the 5th Armored. As far as I know (might be wrong but don't think so), the 601st was assigned to Infantry Divisions throughout the war.

Isnt "Little Joe" also what they call the auxiliary generator motor? Thats confusing. And didn't all armor in Normandy get at least one white star in a circle painted on the turret roof as an aerial recognition symbol to help Allied fighter bombers from mistaking them for panzers? The M10 has no roof, which might explain the star on the sides. Or maybe they just screwed it up. All I know is that I built a model M4 Medium years ago, and it had British markings and a star on the roof. I am pretty sure I put the decals on per the instructions, and I seem to recall reading that explanation at the time. It wasnt just an American marking, it was the easiest, most visible Allied marking they could think of. EDit: From Wiki: *Allied star* A five-pointed star, painted white, was used to identify Allied vehicles from 1944. British tanks rarely had stars on the front or sides, normally just one on the rear of the turret. AFVs often carried stars on the sides and rear. Softskins normally carried stars on their sides. The star was normally 8-12in and was stencilled with a point upwards. So stars isnt always American markings, although it may be in this case. I thought the circle was the main difference.

@14.12 You have two engines and certain parts wear differently inside an engine. Therefore they're not identical. For example, if you had to strip the heads down on both motors, you'd need to know which push rods came from which motor and from which cylinder. They'd have the left or right motor marked on them for that reason and you'd lay them out so and even push them in a line through a bit of cardboard so you'd know which cylinder they came from. It's a bit like a self loading rifle, you can't just put another breech block in it because every rifle breech block wears in differently, even where the rifles are all the same model so if you need to replace one you have to machine it first. Similarly you can't just put the push rods (and other bits) in a motor back in any old order you like or you could end up with a real mess on your hands.

That engine config is crazy, two diesel engines smacked together with a common crank output. Looking at it I thought he must be wrong and it must be a V-12 since you can see the valve train in two rows of 6, but upon looking it up it actually does have two vertical I-6s. Another weird thing is the lack of a valve cover. You usually do not see all the valve work for an engine sitting on top, unprotected like that.

And the LC and LA prefix for parts would be because they are mirror images of each other but rotate in the same direction opposite of aero engines that are not mirrored but rotate in opposite directions.

Many armoured vehicles of the time had two engines more or less separately. The Churchill's flat-12 was two engines put together, the Matilda II and Chaffee had twin engines - and the Australian Sentinel ran on three engines feeding a shared gearbox.

One quarter (about 6.4mm) of an inch steel is not going to stop a 50 BMG round. Even basic 50 BMG ball ammo will penetrate more than 10mm of rolled homogeneous armor.

because it's just a self propelled anti tank gun, in British service it was used by the royal artillery corp, they liked the ability to see and observe

What they should have done for us service: kick the turret. Give it proper hull armor thickness. Hull side skirt armor. And t23 76mm turret.

+TheChieftainWoT Thank you sir for that information. Oddly enough I had to look long and hard through the internet to find a decent picture of the valve covers, almost no footage shows the engines mounted in the vehicle itself, and all photos seemed to be of them in maintenance. I actually found a video of the same engine in a Higgins boat with the valve cover in place. But that was a boat, obviously! So again, thanks for the information. Keep up the good work! Hell on Wheels Sir!

+Sgt Bones I'd put that down to the general disinterest people have for the actual mechanical workings of the tank(s) in general. As Nicholas pointed out in his overview of the M56 Scorpion, people in general are more interested about the gun and combat history, so I suppose the more "niche" (for lack of a better term) interests are not really catared to in the same way, which is a bummer. I love learning everything I can about tanks, down to the nitty gritty. +TheChieftainWoT thanks for your stellar work!

+Friendly Fire Gaming Agree with you completely there, I belong to the niche type of person ever since helping get a Chaffee back to running condition at Ft. Hood Texas, back in the 80's while serving in the Army. And as a model builder I do tend to be interested in more information than most folks when it comes to the interior and inner workings of armored vehicles. That is why I love watching these Chieftain videos, since he always tries to present as much information as possible.

World of tanks devs, you guys should try to work with the developers of tank Mechanic simulator since they have really cool tanks and you could send the tanks that are broken to tms to have them fixed to get it back into service or to the account that ownes that tank... Wich could be the same player maybe even not getting it back but putting it in their museum and have a tank from wot that already was placed in the museum to get that one back into battle
