Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: Object 268 Part1

[@charlesrichardson4032]

Them damn engineers forgot to put the logs on at the factory

[@Psiberzerker]

Yeah, the morale for riding around in what's basically a small fortress with a gun everything, including the battlefield itself is afraid of? I'm going to say it would be high. (If it ever reached production.)

[@lalucre1803]

A nice cup of tea in the morning, and with it a Chieftain video. Life is good.

[@PATRONSKiii]

OH GOD, do the T-10M please!!! Especially the inside, such a great tank!

[@nickstoltz167]

"I have another chap off camera helping me here" Yeah....I'm pretty sure I can see him.

[@frealms]

If you notice where he was looking when he said and see that it later changes to the camera he was talking to, you'll notice that if at the post production that point of view was used, the chap would be off camera indeed, just showing up briefly at best.

[@nickstoltz167]

frealms I suspected that but then I though: "Meh, it would be funny either way." **click**

[@frealms]

***** And I can't fault you for that xD

[@davekrab3363]

I took that to mean he had a 3rd man - off camera. *edit* &, yes I often post inane comments to old vid's!

[@HaqqAttak]

The exact kind of keys we had for our MRAPs side compartments. Soviet influence on BAE systems design? This was the RG-31.

[@stevestandley5571]

This is my favorite Chieftain's hatch. Namely because the Object 268, to me, is the pinnacle of a mixed "Tank Destroyer/Sturmartillerie" concept that emerged mostly out of the german side in WWII. Ultimately, i think this type of vehicle was abandoned because it does not fit nicely into one role, and because the air force plays the biggest role in direct application of heavy ordinance. Perhaps I'm crazy, but if I were a commander without a significant air force, this is what i would want in its stead: A massive direct-fire gun to support infantry that also brings the biggest gun to the fight in tank warfare.

[@trymetal95]

11:39 did he call it... A TANK?!?!? That's a paddling!

[@SpudsMcHaggis]

Can't wait for part 2! Thanks Chief!

[@Xnerdz1]

11:32 So, The Chieftain _does_ have emotions... Interesting.

[@15DEAN1995]

wow the hull in world of tanks of this thing is so much smaller than the is-8s and also looking at the real life model and comparing it to the in game model the casement looks off in comparison to the real life version it seems lower in terms of size.

[@micuu1]

Need an allen key to open everything..... a tank from IKEA?

[@Appletank8]

IKEA tank: 50 tons of steel plates, gears, chain, pistons,tubing, and levers in a big ass box. One tool. A 200 page build manual. Additional 1000$ shipping fee.

[@deptusmechanikus7362]

This is soviet tank so it's not an IKEA, it's WE-KEA!

[@aepceo1]

Love this tank!

[@fulcrum2951]

The 122mm gun was apparently not enough

[@soundslave]

Love your videos. Keep it up. :)

[@lafeelabriel]

Another great vid Chief.:D

[@M3dve208]

If the drivers hatch of the Abrams does leak in, then how the heck you are supposed to operate it in contanimated areas? I doubt that tankers would wear gas masks inside the tank.

[@charlesrichardson4032]

The Abrams has a positive pressure fighting compartment

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

Overpressure, and yes, we do have masks inside the tank. Tanker gas masks have long hoses instead of the filter can, they plug into the NBC system.

[@M3dve208]

TheChieftainWoT Thanks for the info. Actually I've heard that American tank hatches have a quiet a "fame" in not being watertight.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

thank you

[@jeffmack2667]

We're is the exhaust pipe??

[@samuelkeller4745]

can you please explain what you mean by track pitch? :)

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

The length from hinge point to hinge point.

[@samuelkeller4745]

thank you :) so a larger track pitch = a longer distance between hinge points?

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

Correct

[@themodercd]

love your videos chief. do you think you could do a video on a kv-2?

[@CallanElliott]

None still exist.

[@rayman8591]

That isn't true there are at least two one at the same museum Wich is a more or less original with mt2 turret and one rebuild with the mt1 turret

[@henrikoldcorn]

Clearly it’s rather too late to fix, but there’s a bit of a problem with the script for this video: I don’t know what an Object 268 is (apart from “the tank in the picture”), and you sort of forget to say “this was a Soviet tank”! The first hint is mentioning some development in Perm.

[@joshmeads]

These videos are great but it seems more time is spent on track tension than on either the armour or gun.

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

You can find information about the armor or gun many places, it crews spend more hours on track maintenance.

[@joshmeads]

@@TheChieftainsHatch fair enough, I do find the armaments and armour interesting aspects though. Keep up the good work, would love to see a vid on the Tiger l or the Sturmgeschuetz iii.

[@ColdSiris]

kinda sad there wasn't a shot from your viewpoint to see what you see. I know we can see it ingame but honestly that doesn't compare to seeing one in RL

[@nercksrule]

In the post production that they do for the WoT channel, they probably added a b-roll shot from that viewpoint as he was talking. This is all pre-production, besides the transitions.

[@ИтрМттпо]

А где я могу найти это видео с русской озвучкой?

[@chirho100]

Reminds me of a Russian version, of the thunder cat tank.

[@BGfirestarter1993]

When russian test-drive YT channel got it out for a drive, the tank's fluids leaked out so fast, that they gave up and got it back in the hall

[@jetstream321]

What happened to your left arm?

[@Formulka]

what a beast

[@K00Ldude98]

10:55 Is that an is-7? DO ONE ON THE IS-7

[@WoTDeathsArrow]

There is one at Kubinka, hopefully Chieftain did a video of it.

[@mathieucouture6546]

''You get the feeling you're the most powerful person on the planet'' Yea, having a 152mm gun at the front of your working vehicle would probably do that to most people.... When can I try ? XD

[@Account-qn9ek]

Where is this in Russia?

[@Flying_Lexus]

Prokhorovka

[@PhillipAtherton]

fan daby dozy chief

[@torenico]

Hi Chief do you know anything about the Maus? :3

[@thatotherguy6299]

He made a video on the maus...

[@torenico]

Yes yes, but I'm talking about the WG's attempt to restore the Maus :)

[@yautja2232]

Russia destroyed Loompaland and enslaved them as tankers.

[@UliMuliko]

NIce pants:D

[@germanredneck4414]

great video, annoying music

[@luciano9kg55]

Obj 268 chasser

[@paoloviti6156]

Cool beast! But to be a russian tank it is quite tall! In theory there should be more room for the crew but knowing the infamous russian ergonomics I'm sure that it will be a veritable squeeze box! Keep going!

[@BizzLeVrai]

almost first. Thank you for the upload

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

You measured it wrong. You used an American tape measure. If you used a Soviet Tape Measure you would have realized they were both the same height. That height also happens to be the same height as you and everyone in the building. Also you would have felt like king of the world until a US designed jet blew you up.

[@ZGryphon]

... An American metric tape measure? Hmm.

[@kyle857]

@@ZGryphon All of our tape measures or metric and Imperial.

[@ZGryphon]

@@kyle857 Sure, if you're some kind of French Communist. ;)

[@tacit-knowledge-1455]

seems like a piece of shit tank.

[@builder396]

How much did they pay you to talk about what an awesome feeling it would be to ride around in this tank because its so huge while on a RUSSIAN tank? This is the first time i hear anything even remotely like this on this series, so sorry for me pointing it out, but it seems incredibly out of place and just adds to the general suspicion that Wargaming somehow favors russian tanks out of patriotism.

[@TheChieftainsHatch]

Here's an odd thought. Maybe the huge casemate and massive 152mm double-baffle cannon actually give an awesome feeling? It's not as if I didn't say the same thing for Conqueror, you think they paid me to say good things about British tanks? Link to timestamp 22 seconds. Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: Conqueror Part 4

[@DerKrawallkeks]

TheChieftainWoT Great video again:) Nobody cares if it's a Russian tank or not, but it is just a quite big vehicle with a very big gun. I can imagine I'd have the same feeling sitting on so many tons of steel moving

[@ColdSiris]

you obviously haven't been paying attention. the chief already pointed out where he says something similar with the conqueror so not much left to be said. Besides, if you follow the chief in any other format OTHER than his WoT endeavors he proves time and time again that he loves tanks for the simple fact that they're tanks and some are better than others.

[@USSDragonfireNX84]

What about when he said that he didn't like the T-34 at all, that is Russia's most famous tank...I think you're reading too much into things, I'm sure if I was sitting on any tough looking tank with a 152mm gun I would feel pretty powerful too, regardless of the nation is belongs to.

[@builder396]

Nanopizza Videos Still feels out of place. He just isnt thetype to be this kind of airhead who would in the middle of a video just blankly look out the front of a tank and imagine driving it through forests and nostalgically mumble that it would be amazing to do that in this tank.
