Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: M37 Part 1

[@wbertie2604]

It's getting to the point where I feel confident I could adjust track tension on most tanks in the period 1930-50 :)

[@truegopnik6591]

When it’s 3 AM and you realize The Chieftain’s Hatch is half a decade old

[@rooster68w]

True Gopnik I was going through and watching random chieftain videos. Then I clicked this one the intro is different and he is not as relaxed as normal. Looked at the video date......

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

@@rooster68w I know right? He's come a long way as a presenter, he's actually damn good at it. :D

[@shanut8139]

Almost 10 lmao

[@c1ph3rpunk]

Yup. 10 now.

[@88porpoise]

It is amazing how much his presentation has improved over the years.

[@The64Comet]

Man He looks happy today...

[@thelittlestmig3394]

Chaffee chassis and 4 reverse gears! Mad ass dash!

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

That is in damn gorgeous condition. Looks factory new.

[@mariebcfhs9491]

lel I love SPGs but never seen a detailed exterior and interior tour like this! Thanks!

[@ProphTruth100]

Don't you mean "tanks!"?

[@KianPalmer]

2:54 DAMN THAT SCARED ME I was in fullscreen

[@markbeyea4063]

Ah, the old "Chieftain" music. I had forgotten how loud it was. Like an M88 running at full throttle with a bad cylinder.

[@SlavicCelery]

Even WOT official videos have backed off on the music. It's one of the few concessions Wargaming has made for its fans.

[@BigTArmada]

Can you go back over the bits you lost? I don't want to miss anything on these engineering marvels!

[@colbeausabre8842]

First time through I thought he said "Get a large wench" when discussing track tensioning. Hey, I can get with the program if she's large in the right places!

[@robbie6982]

Love these videos!! Keep them coming!!!

[@Haiasiriku]

m37

[@72Disco1998]

Did you quit?

[@Haiasiriku]

NOPE

[@tacomas9602]

Just Marquis How bout now?

[@RayZfox]

Very cool how they have 2 independent engions.

[@zMeul]

yes, they're awsome

[@aussiebloke609]

The drive system sounds a lot like the Aussie's Sentinel - except that the Sentinel had 3 Cadillac engines (and a manual trans - crash box, if I'm not mistaken. Not a nice tank by all accounts, but needs must and all that.)

[@robbie6982]

As soon as I am done watching these video, I want to get right onto WoT and play! >:-)

[@LawrenceCrecy]

I think they need to throw away the music while he's talking, and yes while I do agree he had more energy at E3 I still believe having two people would be wasting time and I don't mean making the video long but making the information take longer to get to the point.

[@Thewalrus328]

Yes it is about information, but the way in which it is communicated doesn't have to be boring (my opinion). The way the delivery is right now, we might as well just read a technical manual or look at pictures, there's just so little energy. I know he has charisma, I've seen the vids of him explaining the tank trees at E3, but here he's just so lifeless. And to address your point about time, there's no time limit on these vids...they spend 45 sec on the intro alone.

[@timstatler7714]

What is wrong with the audio in this video? It sounds extremely muffled.

[@wombatturd]

arg, where is part two! Cool vid.

[@robgoose8126]

Jesus Christ that introduction

[@glenn0010]

Yeah if you could cut down the intro to 10 or 5 secs

[@dragonbutt]

"This video series is really great for people like me who are disabled" I laughed alot harder at that than i should have.

[@tweaker214]

Who is the ONLY MEMBER? THAT guy!

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

That floor grating looks ridiculous. What happens if you drop something and you don't have 20 minutes to coax whatever it is to the side?

[@readhistory2023]

It's a open top vehicle so when it snows the floor will get icy. They need something like that cheese grater on steroids floor grating to make sure you don't slip. You might drop your P38 or a lighter but that's no big deal. Someone else will have one.

[@paoloviti6156]

Bit shortish but ok! What a nicely restored vehicle with a wonderful attention to details! But why 2 engines? It's a double mantainance job!

[@Aleksitusasd]

To make it move.

[@paoloviti6156]

Yes but a complicated way of moving it! It is only because of the inherent reliability that it could move! Try to change 16 spark plugs in 10min! I can presume that two engines are shorter compared to one single with the same horsepower or more simply because it was cheaper and already available then having a new one!

[@Aleksitusasd]

Paolo Viti Exactly, it's the money. Same deal as in the Matilda, it used two bus engines.

[@paoloviti6156]

Thanks for the info! At the end it's always about money for everything...!

[@camerl2009]

Aleksitusasd its not so much the money but the resources available during the war there was no civilian cars made company's like Cadillac made stuff for the war effort

[@CHMernerner]

when i saw the best comment i didn't believed 1 min intro..... but it was true

[@Thewalrus328]

Well how can I disagree with that logic.

[@LawrenceCrecy]

Uh... No.. I think it's fine with just him.

[@KianPalmer]

2:53

[@CelticArchangel]

Who cares. All good shows have an intro. If we can waste time on a game, then they can have as long an intro as they want.

[@LawrenceCrecy]

It's a video about information.. If he had two people it would waste a bunch of time.

[@nowknow]

The 45 second intro is long for a 4 minute video.

[@Zamolxet]

48 seconds*

[@user-pz5ce9cx8q]

What do you call a song from 00:50?

[@PrincessOfDumbasses]

do the priest next please!!!!

[@projectchon]

We don't need a 1min intro

[@Thewalrus328]

I really think he needs someone to interact with because right now, I don't feel any energy or enthusiasm. He's pretty much talking to the camera and not emoting much at all. Makes an interesting topic kind of boring to me.

[@tghr182]

This intro is really a bit over the top and dam long!

[@mcedd54]

48 seconds of that annoying music before one word is spoken. Come on!

[@72Disco1998]

Wow talk about shoddy welding.

[@douglasfulmer5483]

It is strong, and that's what matters. They can't spend too much time on one vehicle.

[@readhistory2023]

The Russians came to the same conclusion we did with war production. If it's only going to get blown up in a month or two why bother with the best welding when not below average welding is good enough? The welding does look bad. It looks it was the guy's first day on the job and he was suffering from a case of caffeine jitters.

[@beersmurff]

@@douglasfulmer5483 Bad welding compromises the strength.

[@MrStrutxD]

:p

[@tweaker214]

In capitalist America, the priest does YOU!

[@ThorntonsWelding]

Dirty clickers

[@ThorntonsWelding]

I don't care how you adjust track tension REALLY DON'T CARE!!! But I do want to hear more about armor and the cannons performance!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

+ThorntonsWelding learn something. That information is available from a 4 second google search. The other information, much less so.

[@ValentineC137]

Well other people do

[@empire-classfirenationbatt2691]

Look for the part then and skip the "boring" parts

[@michaelcoulter1114]

If your track breaks, or you walk your tank out of the track because the track is too loose/too tight, you have a pillbox, not a tank. Track tension matters, and he only spent a minute on it, get over it.
