Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: Panzer I, Pt 1.

Courtesy of World of Tanks, we are back with the music! (I know, it's controversial, but it's what marketing wants). The start of the Panzer line, and part 1 of a 2-part overview from Panzermuseum Munster.
This is a Wargaming funded video. Do a solid, if you haven't done so already, go try the game out, the link will associate the player with this product and reinforce that it should continue. tanks.ly/WoTChieftain
For clarification and full disclosure, ITCH now comes from two sources. The original WoT-funded and produced, such as this one, and my independent Patreon/KZbin funded ones, such as the Panzer 61. This is obviously one of the former.

[@jcakjackjcak]

please please please for the love of god, tell who ever edits this, to mute the music looping over and over. The logo animation is also pretty jarring when it pops up for every transition.

[@readhistory2023]

That seems to be the general consenus. The volume of music while he talks is fine but the transition music needs to be lowered by 50% if not more.

[@thecanadiankiwibirb4512]

The vehicle only has an average speed of 270 kph. WarGaming swears it is not over powered, and can be purchased in the premium store for $499 starting December 1, 2019.

[@HSMiyamoto]

Does any one know why the Reichswehr thought "agricultural tractor" would attract less suspicion than something like "tracked artillery hauler"? How about "Riot Control Vehicle"? -- that might be a little more believable. What Army goes around plowing farm fields, and with a custom-built tractor, to boot? I've never understood that.

[@noelrhodes6987]

The editing with the intro coming up every min and background music ruin this.

[@jubsy]

I really really on with those transitions?

[@corwinhyatt519]

This was made for Wargaming for their WoT channel with the break points, the "intro" sequence, being for when he transitions between sections of the tank. The Pz.1 is just small enough that the transitions happen allot closer together than they usually do with other tanks he's done in this series.

[@jederwieerwillabersojanuni3087]

I agree, the Music is not necessary for the Videos. Its an education Video, not a Music Video.

[@NotTheCIA1961]

@Chris_Wooden_Eye Any video that The Chieftain does in conjunction with WoT support has to have this branding on it. His personal videos won't have them because he's in the same boat as us - it's freaking annoying to have constant guitar background, and loud ass intros, interludes, and outros. Although I'm curious as to whether he could edit out the background music and interludes for uploads to his personal channel.

[@spazbauer]

Oh the poor poor boss man. Hes gonna have a hell of a time fitting in that

[@25xxfrostxx]

Yeah, he may be better off stopping at the hatch with a flashlight and a stick to point at stuff.

[@Boric78]

Yeah the secret sadist in me is looking forward to that. Still laughing at the Comet video he did, with the hatches. I am sure Wargaming will pick up his Chiropractor bill for this. I think its safe to assume there is plenty of space in an Abrams, or maybe they sawed some inches off his seat mount or something.

[@Jermster_91]

If he can get into a M22 Locust, he can get into a Panzer 1.

[@ManicEngine]

Who did this edit? There were like 3 cuts in the first 3 mins that made zero sense.

[@mistertree553]

@Acerbic_Zero most likely the folks over at Wargaming

[@Turidus]

I am always amazed on how the "professionals" at Wargaming INSIST on making the videos worse. Random cuts, an interlude between EVERY camera position, the music. We all know how good the videos are when Wargaming has nothing to do with editing -.- I get that they want to make clear that they are sponsoring the video, but there are better ways to do that.

[@CardinalAsh]

They may have been cuts because Chieftain goofed up a line and they didn’t decide to redo the whole thing. We have seen Chieftain bloopers before where he starts making a salad with his mouth...

[@Tech-Kaplan-Kali]

More shocking is how long this took them. I remember chieftain talking about this video being stuck in editing about half year ago.

[@Ides_0f_March]

Cuts can be tolerated. However, some editor at WG keeps adding cheap electric guitar background music loop to EVERY video and it plays throughout ENTIRE video, it's annoying af. Watch Tank Chats for comparsion, it works perfectly and entertaining without any background music, another example is Forgotten Weapons

What I really like about this lecture is the low key branding and subtle sound mixing.

I have been watching your videos about tanks for sometime now. Very informative and quite well done. Today it has occurred to me that playing games at your computer, smartphone, whatever... does not give the gamer the experience of actually sitting in a tank, being thrown about as you try to drive, load, shoot or command one of these things. You sir, have sat in one of "these things," a modern Abrams of course, but even a modern tank is a steel box filled with high explosives, fuel, human sweat, a hot engine, a large gun, you get it. You've been there. It makes me much more aware of how much courage it took to crawl into one of the WW1 or WW2 tanks and trundle off to battle another steel box who has been tasked with destroying the steel box you are shooting out of. The guys who do this do it because it has to be done. I'm not sure how much "fun" it is to fight these things.

[@colindhowell]

That suspension reminds me a bit of the suspension used for locomotive driving wheels. Those also have hinged suspension levers connecting pairs of adjacent wheels. The levers are called "equalizers", because they act to equalize the ground pressure (and thus, the traction) between each pair of wheels when one wheel goes over a bump, so you don't get a wheel slipping or derailing.

[@paulmanson253]

Krupp built locomotives long before they built tanks. I wonder if a previous locomotive wasn't identical in that respect. No doubt they were quite familiar with other designers products,so in that sense they had a wide variety of stiff suspensions to choose from.
