Thanks to the Tank Museum and World of Tanks for organizing this wonderful event!

[@bs2202]

It could be cooler to say "Tanks to the Tank Museum"

[@MaxTSanches]

I remember in 1965, before my family emigrated to Canada, my Dad taking us to the museum to see the army display at the museum. The one thing that impressed a five year old was the scissor bridge opening. That is what I can still remember fifty five years later. Every time I visit England I have a Bovington day. Thanks for this channel. Max.

[@nctpti2073]

Been to the Canadian War Museum twice, once in the early 80's and once more in 2015. Amazing. And made me very proud to be Canadian. Not yet seen Bovington, nor the French or German counterparts but they are definitely on my to visit list.

[@ThePzrLdr]

Just a short note. Wonderful presentation guys. Maybe do this every year. Might help to drum up support from around the world.

Well Done to everybody at Tank Musem and also Wargaming in supporting such a great initiative. I think you should consider bringing something like that again. Real tankfest is great but sadly not all of us can get there online version was fantastic also the contribution from other museums was a excellent idea.

[@chuckguerin8141]

World of tanks was fun as heck. I was always in the tiop of the scored board, if nt number one. Even with the supposedly wimpy first tank. Brought pvp back to me, after thinking I am just to old and slow. Tactics strategy and the sheer balls and aiming. Made this a great game! On a side note. If you are young and see a tank on display at a fair or large event. Dont go to look at it up close. A recruiter will appear out of thin air, detailing the tank and what it would be like to be in one. He will guarantee you too be in a tank crew and you can even enlist with freinds. lol. I listened and enjoyed his practiced speech. But told him no thanks. But thanks!

We still haven't heard any word of progress on restoring the Maus... It may be a sight to remain in my dreams but my would it be marvelous to even witness a mockup of that monster up close in person, and maybe even as a runner someday!

[@jk844100]

It’s not happening because the museum it’s held at (Kubinka) isn’t interested in restoring any German vehicles. They’ve said their priority is restoring Soviet/Russian vehicles. Basically patriotic bias. If I remember they said it’s insulting/disrespectful to even suggest they’d restore any German vehicles before Soviet ones (especially a huge multi-million project like the Maus)

[@toxicfireball2690]

The Maus isn't even a complete tank, its turret and hull are from two completely different tanks. I'm pretty sure restoring the Maus is basically rebuilding it and I don't think anyone would want to put the time, effort and money into restoring it.

[@ironperegrine7765]

Great show. Thank you to all the museums who put up new videos of older tanks for us! not too pleased with the US's response of stock footage.

[@meismagiic4779]

Meuseums shouldn't be taxed liked churches because there entire point is preservation of knowledge.

[@Wolvenworks]

then again some museums (usually in communist countries) are clearly propaganda in nature

[@patrickd7890]

I agree most museums shouldn’t have to play tax’s

[@dylanmilne6683]

Tax systems in the UK are complex for charities. The Tank museum is likely exempt from tax on various revenue sources such as donations and tickets for events but probably does pay tax on the sales of new goods (ie the majority of their shop inventory) and corporate sponsorships such as WOT. Though this is only an educated guess.

[@MrFleem]

@@Wolvenworks I'd be surprised if a propaganda organization had to pay tax.

[@trevor311264]

The Tank Museum is a registered charity.

[@MichaelLivingston-me]

I visited there ( Bovington ) just before the Coronavirus. I was a kid in a candy shop. I served in the US military during Vietnam. Our main tank was the M60. Yes, we did see the TOG. I knew nothing of that tank until my visit.

@@AllMightyKingBowser If realism is your choice, WOT

[@AllMightyKingBowser]

@@requen Indeed, you want more realism, you play War Thunder; you want more arcadey and faster-paced gameplay, you play World of Tanks. Yet that difference does not make one better than the other. I play both for the same reason.

[@Wolvenworks]

@@AllMightyKingBowser it's actually quite amazing how after all these years we still have people from both camps (but mostly from the WT camp) arguing about which game is better when in actuality they fill 2 completely different niches. like, if you want to compare WTppl should compare it with other sim-grade games like Arma andHell Let Loose, while WoT would be better compared to other arcade-grade tank games like Tanki X (which is as "arcade tank game" as you can get)

Appreciate what y'all are doing. There is ample interest for half tracks too. Guys, take us on a tour and inside some half tracks. The tanks are epic, but even more unique and of comparable importance were German half tracks. There weren't enough of any vehicles or equipment. To make up for being outdone in raw materials, manpower and industrial capacity - well, that's why they built super machines. Since Germany would never keep pace with Western and Soviet manufacturing or raw material, they used the resources at their disposal to develop and build weapons of war that were superior to anything else in the era.

Another good point on keeping Tiger 131 running regulary is that with these old vehicles, standing still actually is detrimental to them. They need to be run every once in a while, not worked to what they were build for offcourse, but just running and driving them gently will actually elongate the lifespan of alot of the mechanical parts. Anyone with a (valuable) classic car knows that you run into more maintenance problems if you only drive it 3 times per year then when you take it out for a spin once every few weeks.
