[@ODST6262]

@@_antwonTT6 Love WT as diving off a cliff to land on an opposing AFV below appears to be an expected tactic. Don't play WT anymore. Good to know the fall did injure some crew. IMHO your pointing out 90+ AFV currently can kill a King Tiger, usually from the front, in the game much less how many can easily take out a Panther confirms my opinion the Ranking is way off. When your Panther D made in 1943 with only Pak 39 shells runs into a US tank built in 1948 using 1948 HEAT and APCR or a post war French vehicle with the French 75mm designed around the German Panther's gun but with post-war ammunition or a T54 designed to be frontally immune to the 88L71 gun there is something wrong. Must be the history major in me. Thanks for answering my comments, too. Good show.

[@maestreiluminati87]

Unexpected, undetected

[@Fistofbrick]

Interesting thing about the King Tigers- the P and H's turrets weren't designed by Porsche and Henschel, respectively. Krupp manufactured both the pre-production and production variants. The 'Porsche' turret was meant to be mounted on Porsche hulls, but as no Porsche designs were successfully approved, Krupp gave the curved turrets to Henschel to use on their hull design that was approved for production, and those were used until they ran out and switched to the flatter design.

[@ernestasjarmak9884]

They realized the shot trap wasn't doing any favors to them, so they redesigned the turret. The first 50 king tigers had that turret, while every other ones after had the "Henschel" variant.

[@Fistofbrick]

Yup. Meant to mention that instead of simplifying the post but I didn't want it being too long-winded. If memory serves, it was also in the interest of simplifying the manufacturing process owing to the bulge created by the commander's cupola on the 'Porsche' turret making things complicated, which also increased the amount of available ready rack stowage as a side effect of the redesign. ​ @Ernestas Jarmak

[@michabawoek6661]

It's also interesting people call it pre-production, although 50 (out of 500),so 10% had this turret. I prefer calling it 'early production'. And it was also quite hard to produce, the later turret was much simpler. Considering bombing raids on german factories, this was also important factor

[@additivent]

Kruppstahl

[@sempermilites87]

Another sad example of a beautiful design, but doesn't work in combat. Another example is the Panther's turrets. It's a sexy design, but again it also suffered a shot trap. If the war went kept going into '46 we would have been seeing more of the "pig nosed" Panthers.

Note for the Porsche Tiger: These models (which include Ferdie) have the same forward and reverse speeds.

Thanks a lot for all the amazing stuff! I started the game a few months ago after watching your beginner guide, and I'm really having a blast. I'm still derping around in arcade while learning the maps and weak spots of different tanks. Your videos + reddit have been my main sources of info about the game. I must say that many things are very different in arcade, especially the optimal lineups, as the respawn mechanics and BRs of many vehicles are not the same. But these videos will surely be even more useful on the day when I eventually feel brave enough to start playing realistic. So I really hope to see many more videos coming up in the future!

[@zbyszanna]

Thank you for the video. I think you should have mentioned that Tiger II (H) is very susceptible to being one shot by anything piercing the turret from the front as there is an ammo rack that you cannot empty and so every shot that penetrates the turret almost guarantees death.

You could have mentioned that the Panther F, while technically having thicker turret armour, does not have the mantlet the A and G have, so at mid to close range enemies will have a far easier time shooting and penetrating your turret since there are no overlapping armour plates and no trolly angles. Honestly I think it's in that aspect by far the worst Panther for close range, aside from the Panther D. In that regard I'd even rather use the Panther G.

[@L963-h9r]

The enemy team dominated the sky completely with 3 planes up. I wasted them all. Then a new wave. They tried to rocket and strafe me multiple times but I took no damage, LOLed and wasted them all. In the end I had 7 air kills - and no enemy planes to be seen anywhere.

[@calessel3139]

FYI - the real Panther-II wouldn't have had a Panther Ausf.G turret. The existing prototype in the US only has a G turret because the US Army mated it with the hull for ordnance testing after capturing it. The real Panther-II turret designed by the Germans would have been entirely new and unlike earlier Panther turrets or the F schmalturm. There were several proposals, but the most likely used would have had 150mm front plate with 60mm sides and rear. The shape would have been squarish with a large flat front plate, slightly sloping sides (aprox 25 degrees) and rear. The gun mantlet would have been a new design, quite small, most closely resembling the "Topfblede" gun mantlet on the Jagdpanzer-IVs. It would have also retained the 7.5cm KwK L/70 and not the 8.8cm KwK L/71. There was a proposal to equip a schmalturm with an 8.8cm KwK L71 but that was a separate project unrelated to the Panther-II. The reason we have the image of a Panther-II with an Ausf.F schmalturm and an 8.8cm KwK L71 is entirely due to plastic model companies combining separate German projects into a single tank design for marketing purposes.

[@DarknessInferno15]

FYI, the Tiger II (P) turret wasn't made by Porche. That's a common misconception. It's a Krupp turret.

9:27 misconception, the “P” doesn’t stand for Porsche, Porsche contributed the engine, both turret designs were made by Krupp

I like the Camos your are passivly showcasing in the video.

The l/d ratio shows the effort you put into these

[@aescobar32]

Love the video as always. No need to expain to those needy lazy ones asking you to update more often. We know these take a lot to research, write, edit, etc. Take your time, quality is great

Don't apologise for your long videos!!!! I love watching them

[@johnelrick8945]

Can confirm, the Waffenträger can be a tricky bugger to kill. Mind you, I struggle against the Nashorn, too...

I still love my Command Tiger P. The reverse speed is really handy and people tend to see the turret and immediately assume it's an unangled tiger. so you very often get at least one free hit which gives you time to react. And sicne the hull armor protects the driver and transmission you can always back off quickly if they do pen the turret.

The RU-251 is OP and should be 7.0+.
