I always said that she would make a great team with the Chieftain. The first time I met Sofi was at Tank Fest 2018 and she was with Nick at the time. I kept suggesting to Wargaming that they needed to sign her up to make videos with Nick. She has bags of enthusiasm and absolutely adores crawling all over tanks. So she was perfect for Nick to pass on some of his wisdom about how tanks operate. I always like to think that someone listened to my suggestions and that's how their videos came about, but I suspect that someone else also mentioned it to Wargaming.

^ Not to the US Army it didn't, as the 105mm L7 superceded the 120mm M58 of the M103. (in the British Army too, though the introduction of the 120mm L11 gun in 1966 made the M58 wholly obsolete in NATO, the same year all M58 armed Conqueror's were retired) The M103 - like its cousin Conqueror - looked impressive, but was an anacronism from day one, just like the soviet bogeymen (IS-3 to T10) it was a response to. The world had belonged to the MBT, since Centurion's debut in 1945 [followed by the Patton series & the T-54].

"really scary" Indeed, my wife's father was a Croc commander towards the end of the war, and demoralised German troops, often young, undernourished and hardly trained would surrender or run at the knowledge of the presence of the nightmare combo of Croc and Petard wielding AVRE. Story is that a captured German officer was outraged by this tank that he declared was "inhumane and un-British". It is difficult to equate the kindly grandfather to my children I knew with a soldier who was prepared to use such a terrible weapon.

[@danam0228]

Seems to me based on what Sofi said, that the Crocodile was more humane than many of the tactics used by the Nazis against unarmed civilians and POWs. The operators of the Crocodule at least gave fair warning to surrender and receive good treatment in ally POW camps.

[@armandorodrigues144]

about #2 M103 A2, it is true that the shape of the hull did provide better ballistic protection, however it is also well known that cast armor provides less protection than a flat plate of Rolled homogeneous armor (Rha) with the same thickness and at the same angle, that is why soon after that they realized it was easier to increase the protection of the T95 and M60 by increasing the armor angle but the M103 was a good "test subject", just like with the M48 it provided the US Army with the experience of designing and producing a tank that was nearly obsolete as soon as it left the factory

[@jacobosburne2565]

Never knew about the alterations of M103 mainly I never heard of them or seen it, except for when I saw Chieftain's Tank Fest videos and saw the M103 with the same engine as the M60A1 and it confused me a little for a time until now; thanks Sofilein for clearing it up the confusion.

I really like your straight to the point descriptions and I learned alot of info I did not know. Solid top 5 of tanks. Cheers! Side note, in Campbellsville, KY a small town my Dad's family hails from, sits an M103 at a VFW hall. This thing dwarves my sons, brothers and I. I'm a rippin 5'4" tall while my brothers are 6'0" but it doesn't matter. Huge tank.

This is a solid top 5! Very respectable choices. It would be too difficult for me to choose as there are so many tanks with prominent history. Despite being soviet the T-34-85 has one of the most fascinating backgrounds. While being affordable, easy to produce, fast/maneuverable, and effective the tank was designed by an amusement park engineer! Humble origins but very fearsome in action. Keep it up Sofi! We all feel better knowing you're truly a tank fanatic lol.

Hottest historian ever, hands down.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

There are some competition for that title tbh. And I would refrain from comparing at all, as the act of comparing people, by default, is self dishonouring the comparator and objectifying those compared.

Lowest standards.

[@johnegan7622]

@Tolvis Presley Lol!!! A good historian though. Also, see Dr. Alice Roberts.

(Walks away from a Stug III to a Firefly) *"Hans! Get ze Flammenwerfer!"* (Panzer IV is top 1) "Uhh... Nevermind, Hans"

Love Sofilein's enthusiasm! could listen to her talk tanks all day!

[@darkgiftroland6264]

I'm new to the channel. Really enjoyed this presentation. Great info, enthusiasm, and host. Hope to see more clips like this. Perhaps a best 6-10?

You know that pre-game lobby where one player has a female gamer tag and the lonely nerds start lusting and send her PMs? That's this comment section. Still, a very good video and enthusiastic. Well done.

[@panzertracks]

Awesome selection Sofilein. good to see you at the Tank Museum.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Cobi]

Awesome vid. My list would be different of course as we all have specific preferences. But these Tank Museum videos are all great.

A the S tank. Only vehicle where the NBC system is designed to keep dangerous gases in. Just in case the crew opens a can of Surströmming

[@thhseeking]

I heard that the Soviets wanted it added to the list of banned weapons. Mind you, Icelandic fermented shark would be an even better WMD :P
