You guys know how to have fun with a 100 thousand dollar vehicle.

[@alinalexandru2466]

I'm always amazed to see how large the FAMO actually is.

[@VRichardsn]

That thing is huge. At first the size is not obvious, because the general shape of it is similar to, say, a Sd.Kfz. 10... but it weighs 18 t! That is the kind of prime mover you use for the heaviest of artillery pieces or tanks.

[@anthonystark3959]

The irony of the M 151 pulling the HMMWV out of the snow!

[@xot80]

because M151 has chains on wheels

[@hugopepe1722]

because in WW2 you had to build a good vehicle, in present day you just have to win a government contract

[@xot80]

@@hugopepe1722 what? german vehicle during WWII were biggest shit on earth. Truste me. there were no two vehicles that had the same spare parts. Each company was pushing its project, there was no unification, including that is why the Germans lost the war because the damaged equipment could not be repaired, because there were no spare parts for this model. Even caterpillars had more than a dozen designs. That's why Germany so often abandoned its vehicle hehe even the Russians were not willing to use German equipment. More problems than benefits. In addition, these gasoline engines ... too little power, and the mass of the vehicle kept growing. Besides, Hitler too relied on idiots like Ferdinand Porsche, who first built his Tiger, unfortunately terrible shit that was rebuilt on Ferdinand, which was also a terrible shit. How many Ferdinand Germans lost on the first day at Kursk? How much did they lose because they broke? That idiot Porsche did not even foresee that the vehicle had to defend itself against infantry, so it had no defensive weaponry. I can criticize German vehicles endlessly. Germans fell victim to their megalomania, which resulted in sick vehicles. Look at the Russians, they had two tracked chassis, T-34 and KV then IS. They built everything based on these proven two chassis. Similarly, the Americans, they had Sherman, and they built everything on his chassis.

[@wwlb4970]

@@xot80 You're almost correct in your assumptions regarding German engineering - strange design though accurate, fanatic assembly. But I'd like to remind you, that USSR had more than 2 mass tracked platforms - 0. Vickers - T26. (Honorable mention) 1. Christie - BТ-2\5\7, T-34 - major platform, yes. 2. KV/IS - major influence on certain battlefields 3. Light T40\60\70 - huge influence on early war 4. "126" - T50 - somewhat little influence on war, but helped KV project 5. Also multiple tractor-derived platforms, for half-tracks, artillery carriers, tractors, etc, hard to name them all.

[@mottthehoople693]

@@john-peterhundt5662 yep both are boxhead

[@Reddsoldier]

The M3 and M5 were superior designs though since they were just as capable, but were WAY easier to produce since they were made out of easily replaceable panels bolted to a universal chassis design that shared a ton of parts, to the point that the front half is pretty much identical to the M3 scout car too! In my opinon they also look way cooler, with those adjustable louvres on the front and the option to have actual visibility out the front with the windscreen, and then the crazy variants like the M15 and M16. There's a reason Israel used them until the late 1980's and loved them, but the 251 in Czech postwar service was known as "Hitler's revenge" as it was that bad, and they had to sidestep the Soviet monopoly on wheeled armoured vehicles to produce the SKOT to get rid of them!

[@majima1506]

This video is beautiful.

[@freddenapoli3591]

I believe the FAMO is in the heavy carrier carrier. Moving the 88 PAK field guns/AA required more heft, and this provided it.

I don't think People realise these vehicles are can handle just about any conditions I just love this and packing the snow in rhe radiator n keeping the engine hatches open to cool the engine down it's so real if you know what I mean; it gives that sence of how hard it must have been!

Because of it's reliability and genius deisgn, 251 was used by many countries post war in their military. Czechoslovakia not only used 251 but also produced it in pretty large numbers.

@@narodwpsanialy1940 If you have a need and the production line set up - why not keep it running while your engineers work on the next generation and/or improvments. The east europeans did the same with the BR52 steam engine.

[@mpc007]

SdKfz is such a good design. Still looks awesome.

[@JDSFLA]

Except those overlapping wheels would freeze up with mud and snow, and repair and maintenance on them required removing fives wheels to work on one. On the positive side they gave smooth travel over rough ground. Same issue for the Tiger and Panther tanks.

Looks like the smaller halftrack was having overheating issues.....since its radiator is coverd up with armor.....unlike the bigger one that is exposed.....another drawback of these halftracks are that the front axles dont have traction.....an advantage that the American version had.....they also had flap armor in front of the radiator that allowed them not to overheat.

[@anatolib.suvarov6621]

Generally, the M-151 series did not use the M-2 .50 BMG, as the body floor, and supports were not strong enough to withstand the punishment of the .50 cal. The M-1919, and M-60 7.62 mm GPMG were the far more common weapon. There were some strengthening kits for allowing the .50 to be used, but the are fairly rare, and not overly successful. The M-4 pedestal for mounting the MG wasn't designed for the higher recoil of the .50, and so even with the floor support strengthening kit, the pedestal would eventually crack, and break. Oh to have such toys...
