The ISU-152 is also useful to take the family out for a nice city tour. Also. No parking problems. You can create a nice parkingspace with the 152 gun which is included in the 'outdoor' package.

[@ThirtykNinetyfour94]

9:05 The Mythbusters tested whether or not you could set off a barrel of gasoline by shooting at it once. No matter what they shot the barrels with the barrels would not explode. Normal rounds, incendiary rounds, FMJ rounds, nothing happened. The only thing I can think of that would cause a barrel of fuel to explode with a tank round is that it's an incendiary shell that somehow slows down enough on impact to still be in the cloud of vaporized fuel and thus ignite the fuel cloud and cause a thermobaric explosion.

[@Braeden123698745]

The tank also has tanks of diesel which is even harder to ignite.

[@allangillis2033]

Thred assasin Just to be picky, diesel ENGINES use pressure to heat the fuel/air mixture to ignition temperatures. Diesel will still burn if you light it on fire.

[@ThirtykNinetyfour94]

Dan Wier Okay then. Show the evidence. Back up your statement with examples of exposed fuel tanks/barrels being hit by gun fire catching on fire or exploding.

[@j.j.swanepoel9918]

Well he didnt say explode its more of a leak or something that causes it to ignite and catch fire not explode

 theres a formula for that for the perfect explosion for gasoline you need 14.7 parts of air and 1 part of gasoline i dont know what it is for diesel

They got some interesting stuffs, there was a Stuart parking on the side, al the internals were gone, there was a wood stick in the main gun...

[@SolyomSzava]

Braeden Hamson Well, this vechicle wasn't rushed into production like the T-34 and 34-85 - so engineers had enough time to make the thing better.

[@DarkManLT]

***** T-34 wasn't rushed into production

[@SolyomSzava]

DarkManLT While it wasn't rushed as much as the -85 was, it was put into production while there were still numerous design issues with it. For example the original cast turret was both hard and costly to manufacture, and restricted inside space considerably. Most vechicles weren't outfitted with a radio, leading to severe losses due to lack of communication (waving flags around in the middle of a fight is not exactly reliable). The original gun was underperforming and had to be changed out.

[@thethirdman225]

_"For example the original cast turret was both hard and costly to manufacture, and restricted inside space considerably."_ They changed it for the"Gaika" turret. _"Most vechicles weren't outfitted with a radio, leading to severe losses due to lack of communication (waving flags around in the middle of a fight is not exactly reliable)."_ Which was still common in many armies at the outbreak of the war. In the Soviet Union, the parts needed to make radio were rare so this wasn't a T-34 problem. _"The original gun was underperforming and had to be changed out."_ Again, this was not unique to the T-34. The KV-1 used the same gun. But in 1941 and 1942, the 76.2 gun was quite adequate. In fact, in 1941, it was one of the most powerful tank guns in the world. Many other tanks had their guns upgraded, like the PzKpfw III, StuG III and the PzKpfw IV.

"Why does he keep talking about the log, because you guys are the only ones who have them!" sic burn

[@Oscuros]

German tanks did not have those cold weather starting systems, so setting fires under tanks to help get them going on the Eastern Front was common. It is a good advantage to have there in your AFVs.

[@LKN117]

i really enjoyed how technical he got. Kinda reminds me of the way Jay Leno talks about his cars.

[@justforever96]

And those external tanks are diesel, like the T-34, so they are much less flammable and explosive than gasoline. I can see external tanks being a danger for a gasoline engined tank, since a mostly empty tank could explode (although it won't necessarily damage the tank too much), but diesel fuel is not explosive. It can be ignited, but nothing like as easily as gasoline. The only thing I'd worry about is the tank bursting and spreading flaming fuel all over the engine deck, down through the air vents, etc. But it would take a lucky sort of hit to both burst the tank and ignite the fuel. Most rounds and fragments will just perforate it and let it leak out. And like you say, they probably mostly use those for transit, not in battle. I guess they figured the definite advantages outweighed the small potential risk. And since you didn't have T-34s and ISUs burning themselves up all over the battlefield because an incendiary MG round struck it, it must have worked.

[@speed150mph]

you know im sorta impressed by what hes saying. despite the fact that the tanks may not last that long on the battlefield, the Russian tanks were actually very well designed... and the way they were designed for ease of maintenance really reflects that. you look at the german tanks and you just don't really see that. and the forethought of using a diesel engine, and the primitive equivalent of glow plugs for cold starts is very interesting. all the little design perks here and there show this tank was built to last... more so then most

[@VRichardsn]

This is a bit of a meme that has been going on for several decades. Everything Russian is crude, cheap, simple and always reliable. Everything German is complex, high quality, expensive and high tech. In reality, it wasn´t so much like that. There were complex or unreliable Russian machines (for example, the T-34 experienced a very high loss rate due to unreliability for a significant part of WWII) and there were very simple, cheap and effective German designs (the StuG III or the MG 42 to name a couple) Also, during WWII Diesel engines are not an automatic winner over petrol engines. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. It is not a black/white issue.

[@jimcameron9848]

Sir Chieftain, I am a dedicated fan and I think you should write a book perhaps on how useful the manuals were in combat - a great segue into describing that state of affairs. I see too that you are cited in Staven Zaloga's "Armored Champion: The Top Tanks of World War II".

[@justforever96]

Love the log; straight off of a Mk IV tank from 1917. Same exact concept. In fact, the Mk IV has this machine beat as far as the log/unditching beam goes. The rails on top of the Mk IV allows the beam to be loosely chained to the track while sitting in place on top of the vehicle. Then the tracks turn, and drag the beam forward along the rails, then down under the tank. You drive forward, now unstuck, and the chains pick the beam right up out of the mud, and drag it back along the rails to the original location. You stop, unchain it, and drive away. The only drawback is if you are under fire, since you have to get out to attach the chains. But that's true of the ISU as well. And if you can imagine a tank so stuck in a morass that a single pass under the track won't get it out, you can just keep the beam traveling around the track, over the rails and under the tank again as long as you want, until the tank comes out on solid ground (or you give up or it breaks down). Clever system, especially in the Mk V where they put a little cupola and hatch in the roof so you could attach the chains without exiting the vehicle.

[@superdupergrover9857]

Those welds are... terrible. But it is more than the stereotypical unpolished Soviet thing. To be fair, the welds themselves may be fine, but it's just the wrong kind for this application. The welds have been made with equipment too small for the task (hence the dense "zigzag" welds) which is merely time consuming for structural/mild steel, but armor steel is different. Welding with too small equipment on really thick steel takes a lot of time and therefore puts a lot of heat into that steel, and alloy/armor steels are quite fussy about heat. This will weaken the armor around the welds and distort the steel out of shape. But the welds are only at and just below both surfaces, the welds don't go all the way through. That's kinda important when you're getting shot at.
