That's good and also parts you mentioned that are attached on that could be good for a future video like the TOW missile and M2 Browning and also may look into this type of vehicle that's still doing a number from WWII to the present day Technical's (Vehicle) basically it's taking a civilian vehicle more notably a jeep or truck and slapping guns on it usually the back not very much armor but really have quick drive anyway look that up and tell JJ all about that as well.

@@emgab1481yeah but also I don’t think Colombia really needs to fight a lot of tanks, they probably need to do a lot of patrolling to fight like FARC or narcos, so probably a lot of patrolling in remote areas and light infantry stuff rather than armored warfare. I figure maybe in that case an m8 might be all you need, though I’m sure theres alternatives

The Greyhound had a second career in postwar west Germany with the Federal Border Guard, though there the 37mm was removed and the turret was armed with an MG42 (the BGS called it MG 42 even if in 7,62mm NATO) only. The BGS contrary to the the Bundeswehr retained Wehrmacht style helmets and uniforms, but armored cars were the only armored vehicles available. These were later replaced by british Saladin and Saracen cars. The alert police battalions of the state police also used these for a short while, also with MG only armament. I guess these vehicles came directly from US army stock.

@johnnyjohnsonesq The bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) are especially fascinating to me in their earliest iterations during the 50s since they essentially just used debadged Wehrmacht uniforms and helmets, as well as WW2 camo patterns and equipment like the Zeltbahn for a long time, along with even WW2 weapons such as the typical K98k and MP40 (in few numbers as parts were becoming hard to find), but even some odder choices like French and Italian submachine guns such as the MAB38/MP1. More interestingly is that the K98 rifles the BGS used were made by the French. 18,000 of them. The Greyhound also even had a version used by the BGS called the Zobel, which had the turret removed to fit a semi enclosed 20mm auto cannon, although I’m not sure on how many were created.

@@AdamantLightLP Horsepower and torque are generated differently. If you want high speed then you need high RPM and high RPM generate high HP. To get those high revs you make your pistons oversquare, that is the diameter is larger than the stroke or the piston is wider than the con-rod is long, that way the piston moves a short distance on its power-stroke before returning. If you want high torque then you need a long lever-effect. To get that lever-effect you make your stroke (con-rod) longer than your piston diameter. The piston travels a long distance on its power-stroke before returning. That's why two identical capacity engines with the same number of valves can have such widely differing performance. Those old engines were designed to move masses of metal, torque was far more important than revs and horsepower.

During in korean war,In the ROK army, the M8 Greyhound was operated as an armored vehicle that could also be used for radio relays, but because they knew they could not deal with it, they used it to engage the T-34/85, and so the 27 Greyhounds that were directly under the Army Headquarters, in greyhound's were destroyed or It was abandoned , or were used to suppress communist guerrillas in the rear. and ultimately all M8 Greyhounds belonging to the ROK Army were lost. In the early stages of the Korean War, There is also a story that two Greyhounds taking cover on the other side of the river linked up and one of them destroyed the tracks of a T-34, aimed at the T-34 crew who had opened their hatch, and fired a 37mm armor-piercing bullet into the hatch, destroying it. This can be quickly understood by looking at the internal photos of the T-34. Due to the characteristics of the Christie suspension, the iron bars encroach on some of the crew area, which is because they are suspension bars. Also, T-34's considering the lack of ventilation and the hatch on the front, and the fact that drivers fired the gun during battle and opened the driver's hatch to release gas through the hatch, there were frequent cases of destruction during WW2, it is not impossible. Greyhound went out to the 8th Division in Gangneung to relay the radio message, and there was a story that the communication was good with the Namsan Armored Regiment communication center in Seoul, and that in order to raise morale, they called the armored car a tank and went around to various units before the war broke out, saying, "We have so many tanks!" Considering that the Greyhounds were bluffing in this way and that uneducated commanders often thought "guns on -> movement -> tanks" and sent them in, it seems somewhat convincing that the Greyhounds were able to destroy the T-34s in the Battle of Chuncheon, which was somehow a battle.

To be fair late war Germany was had run out of supplies of the necessary alloying metals required to make high quality Armour plate add to their method of hardening the plates this lead to problems with armour being brittle, with inconsistent quality (check out the Australian Armour and Artillery museum's channel for their restoration of a Jagpanther where one of the restores complain about the problems welding the inconsistent plates) and if you look at a lot of pictures of damaged German tanks you will see the armour has cracked around the impact site. So from point blank to the tinner rear turret an rear armour taking multiple rapid hits I don't think it is imposable for the armour of a Tiger to have failed plus there is a lot of wiggle room for the definition of "Knocked Out"

Germany changed their manufacturing method and increased thickness by up to 5mm to make up for the lack of materials. Most pictures of cracked plates you see have been fired at dozens of times. The whole Grayhound story was debunked completely long ago.

I've heard that tall tale in all kinds of versions. Most commonly it's with a King Tiger as the victim. The story goes the M8 crew were cooling their heels hidden off the side of a road when a single German tank went past them and didn't see the Greyhound. The only way this makes much sense to me is if the tank was in fact a King Tiger or Panther, both of which have hatches on the back side of their turrets for tossing out spend rounds and for crew egress. They passed by and the M8 sneaks out on to the road right behind them. The only way this works is if that back hatch was open and the M8 crew proceeded to pump 37mm, 30cal and 50cal rounds directly inside the turret. That would end that German crew's day in a hurry. It could have also been a Jagdtiger, also have a large square hatch in the rear of the superstructure.

The 37mm could penetrate the armor of a Panther from anywhere but the front when the impact angle was high. The armor on these cutouts is also less effective, so it’s quite possible that a 37mm would penetrate the armor when hitting near the edge of a hatch, even on a Tiger. While it’s not very common, a light vehicle can easily outmaneuver a heavy vehicle at close range and disabled it. Of course that generally doesn’t happen because medium and heavy tanks would be accompanied by many more vehicles.

I know the account of the Grayhound taking out a Tiger II always makes me want to cry fowl. Basically story goes a grayhound snuck up behind one and fired a few shots into the rear until it burst into flames. Issue with that story is, the Tiger II is better armored in the rear than it is even on the sides. Being it's 80mm sloped armor. Basically it's better protected in the rear than a Sherman tank is from the front, and a 3.7cm gun should struggle vs that. The 3.7cm gun on the grayhound with it's highest penetrating ammunition would still struggle even against 80mm flat plate let alone sloped. Even weak spots in that rear armor has casted steel even thicker than the rear plate protecting it like the holes for the exhaust being a good example the cast steel protecting the entry/exit holes of the exhaust is very thick. That being said, based on the account though, it's more likely the tank that was destroyed was a Panther tank. A Grayhound should have little issue based on how the story was told, to have knocked out a Panther tank in this manor. They have exposed fuel tanks in the rear of the tank, and the rear armor itself is only 40mm thick. 3.7cm might have some issues, but repeated shots would insure many penetrations let alone a shot into the exposed fuel tanks. Which for many panther models didn't even have armor plating for some dumb reason. Being a Panther and Tiger II have a similar hull design, I wouldn't be surprised if it's mistaken identity. Basically I can see a Grayhound successfully knocking out any German tank from shots to the rear but the Tiger I and II. There are some places where a Grayhound could penetrate a Tiger I but they're on the sides not the rear. Tiger II doesn't have those vulnerabilities though. US GIs didn't exactly have a great understanding on how to identify what they were fighting. One of my favorites was a field report where the officer called all German Tanks Panthers, or would say Panther IV, and Panther V. Instead of Panzer.

An hint about its early use as TD could be argued by the open top turret, that was usual on the M10/M36 and M18. This feature caused a lot of troubles to the crews, expecially when, after the war, was used in COIN roles, as by the french in Indochina, some added thin metal's roofs on their turrets, to avoid being hit by splinters , or worst, by an incendiary bottle thrown by insurgents.

One did kill a Tiger tank. The M8 was in hiding next to a road, the tiger and the M8 left it's hiding spot and cam up behind the Tiger firing its 37mm right into it's engine compartment several times. The tank screeched to a halt and the crew ran into the woods. The Sergeant in charge of the M8 received the Army Legion of Merit Award I believe.

Huh. So the Die Hard armored vehicle was actually lite military tech. Thought it was made uniquely for the SWAT fellows. 1:00: Seems it's quite a good vehicle. Not unlike how Allied players in Red Alert 2 opt to replace Grizzly Tanks with Soviet Rhinos. 3:12: Was that a V-1? With those clips of The Adventurers in mind, the light vehicle sure became surprisingly oppressive.

Penetration charts should always be taken with a massive grain of salt, or rather an entire mountain of salt. Why? Because the penetration charts were made under idealized conditions under the best possible circumstances, against a stationary block of metal, rather than actual battlefield conditions.

Absolutely. Though in the field there is luck too. Sometimes tanks were manufactured under the worst circumstances and you could get lucky and hit a bad weld or discount steel. But you are right generally those pen charts are a stretch.

@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Good to bring up the problems of lousy manufacturing. I remember thinking one of my troopers had gone full hulk mode when he kicked through an "armored plate" until I discovered that it had all the armor qualities of a coke can. When you've got a country increasingly relying on slave labor (and increasing the brutalization of that population at all times) it's no surprise that a lot of German kit wasn't up to its design specs.

Can say good video JJ and also speaking of vehicles with guns may want to look into Technicals(Vehicle) or it's equivalent of WWII fame the SAS jeep basically it's described as a vehicle with a gun or other weapon in the back and moves fast since there's very little armor and in a video game known as Nuclear Strike is described as a poor man's APC anyway really check it out also is used in modern conflicts also there's a portable version of the Hotchkiss 1914 Machine gun named the Hotchkiss Portative or better known M1909 anyway could check that out ans who knows still looking for parts on Missiles like the Stinger and SA-7, RPG-7, AK-47 rifle and well there's many others could look into those bombers like B-52 and Tupolev TU-95 as another candidate.

@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq That's good really interesting history of the Technicals(vehicles) also seen in conflicts doing a number on forces like the 90's Black Hawk Down and the Toyota Wars of the 1980s part of the Chadian-Libyan War when Muammar Gaddafi was still in power and a threat and the forces of Chad took on Libya armed with nothing more than these Technicals it's said against forces with armor and wrecked them. Anyway really can look into that among other topics also may want to look into that MI-24 Hind, AH-1 Cobra or the current attack copter in service Apache Longbow. Among who know what others out there.
