Russian Half Tracks of WWI & WWII - Explained

[@jmantime]

Oops , i did the wrong video you guys voted for Tanks of the Polish-Soviet War , that video is almost done. Also i'm working on the World War I tanks in WW2 video now.

ZiS-41 seems useful, excepting only the extra long step between the tracked suspension and the front axle. ZiS-43 seems useful as well, particularly, because the Red Army needed tracked mobility for its support weapons asa much as it did for its tanks. So few roads in the various SSRs. Halftracks are better than no-tracks. Or, as my Animals Und Panzer poster proudly proclaims: "Halftracks good! All tracks better!" * *With apologies to George Orwell

J the thing I found amazing, and at the same time perplexing was the fact that the WW1 half-tracks, in some instances where MUCH FASTER then there WW2 counterparts! (45 mph / 22 mph)

[@SatumangoTheGreat]

Less armour, probably, like the WW1 tanks.

The speed you're mentioning 45mph/72 kmh seems hardly possible, the later mentioned 24.8mph/40 kmh sounds more reasonable. You are probably getting this info from some other sources, but sources aren't always that reliable. Looking at the mechanical side of the story 45mph/72kmh was actually only possible with the (later developed) Christie suspension AND a very powerful engine. It MIGHT have been a "theoretical" speed obtained under the most favorable circumstances like completely empty, downhill, wind blowing from the back etc.😉 The more primitive (often Kegresse) suspension and drivetrain at that time was not really capable of sustaining those speeds.
