Thunder run - streets of Baghdad in Steel Beasts

[washburnplayer3]

Reminds me of the 1rst and the 70th Weisbaden 1981 Charlie Co, minus the lack of pine trees! Oh yea and M60 A3's.

[Ag3nt0fCha0s]

What you don't see in this video is that the M1 abrams transmission can't handle a mine plow with it's 1500 horspower - using a mineplow wrecks the transmission and makes thank an M-kill.

There's only one photo of an M1 after using a mine plow and it's not pretty - the wheels are all over the place.

[Weps21]

@Ag3nt0fCha0s

What? The M1 can handle a mine plow just fine.

[Ag3nt0fCha0s]

@Weps21

Sorry, I messed up there. Yes the M1 can handle a mine plow, it's a dozer blade that it's transmission can't handle, hence the M9 ACE.

Sorry about that.

[MaxamillianArturo]

The real Tank simulators make you sicker than a dog hahaha, I do this shit for a living. Bravo 1-81.

[screecwe]

@MaxamillianArturo Isn't that the Ft Knox OSUT unit?:-p

[MaxamillianArturo]

@screecwe Could be could be

[frequentfiler]

[Catchaspoon]

Army tanks, gay. No thanks.

[zackhanscom]

[Kopihucky]

[kempet]

@Kopihucky hey I know I made the video myself ; )

[huren123sohn]

[Skippy571]

Do you know the name of the first track? (Not just "Its from Matrix 2," the actual name of the track from Matrix 2 :P) Nice work with the video

[kempet]

the title of the song is "Mona Lisa drive"

[Skippy571]

Thanks for that

[Zenthik]

@kempet Overdrive.

[AzamatoTheGreat]

is this a game? why didnt i heard of it. More info anyone? :D

[kempet]

Check "steelbeasts (DOT) com" for more info on this Tanksim.

[ottoramsaig]

@AzamatoTheGreat Its a sim not a game: Steel Beasts Pro PE. It is the civilian verson of a military tank simulator. Totally awesome...................

[fckngolddighoez18]

tanks are so much like mechs

[Redfoxc66]

hey i think i went thru this tranner is this the one they have at benning

[Ibreakthings51]

@Redfoxc66 probly not .. grafix are lot more updated than that. . I should know I was an M1 crew member and went thru all the sim trainers for our deployments and what not. .. . tho. . would be nice to have something that looks this good in the gov.

[ottoramsaig]

@Ibreakthings51 Totally agree, SIMNET< M-COFT, UCOFT all suck. ....19K40H8

[jethx]

Whats the song at 3:40 ?

[kempet]

John Murphy - 28 weeks later theme

[gulskjegg]

Graphics need alot of work, but otherwise a good concept.

[Dunkelseele]

Its not a concept, its a finished game and not centered around graphics... you funny guy

[5tyxx]

THis is how americans fight......abrams tanks vs light armor vehicles and APC's America FUCK YAH

[MrMalavon]

Beats flying planes into civilian buildings any day.

[nubbie1944]

I wish this game wasn't 100 something dollars.

[massore1980]

juno reactor - mona lisa overdrive

[TryAgain1986]

Wow what simulator is this?

[th3flyboy]

I laugh when people ask this and IT'S IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION!

[indianajonesanaheim]

It's in Matrix movie.

[TheStormpower]

Wat is the Music?

[Armormedic164]

It is from the Maxtrix 2

[Matanjun1970]

That Thing Can't Patrolling The Street. I Can't See Surround Area. Only Pegeon HOLE? View The Area?. I May Kill Pedastrian Walking Around It.

[kjetil297]

damnnice tanks hooah

[dataghost47]

there were 2 thunder runs, but yeah the first one, which i think this scenario represents, is the first run into baghdad.

[happosai27]

nice video. but fighting a third world army that uses 40 years old equipment with the best funded hightech army of the world isnt exactly that heroic. more like beating a old dog which only has just an eye and 3 legs lol

[kempet]

Exactly, couldn't agree more.

[dudeyrune]

Best funded hightech army? Mate, you yanks can't even create a tank buster jet which does its job properly.

Your F22 Raptor program was canceled because of the cost. Best funded my ass, get your facts right.

[happosai27]

im german and not american xP the f22 was cancelled because its useless against people in caves with ak47 like in afghanistan and americans still spend more taxmoney in "defence" than the rest of the civilized world combined

[poonjoo]

..your forgetting Israel whos surrounded by enemies. Im pretty dam sure they spend ALOT more on defense (and it shows in their high calbire equipment)

[happosai27]

what enemies? o.o egypt is americas puppet with mubarak, then jordan with his king abdullah who is more or less dependent on israel too. he would end up like the ex president of lebannon if he would just out of line.. and lebannon in the north is just a tiny second world country that was turned upside down in the 80s already and is no match for anyone in the region. their militia is good but couldnt keep a israeli hightech army away forever. all of these countries have third world armies..

[happosai27]

their only enemy are the palestineans which sit in these open air concentrationcamps westjordanland that is split in tiny pieces by the hillgrabbing policy of the hardcore settlers and the gaza strip. they dont even have fuel for their jeeps at times and not one helicopter, tank or anything like that. just small infantryguns and their homemade rockets with the killpower of a handgrenade. they barely can defend themself. the israelis could crush them under their nazibootheel if they wanted to ^^

[poonjoo]

yeh but they also have media on their side

[ottoramsaig]

@happosai27 So what..............? I mean, isn't it great to know that we will be there to defend your country with our superior fire power and numbers,.........

[sanke0]

Actually retard it was canceled because the F-35 JSF was a superior jet to the F-22.

Get your facts right

[asdfgeyhhgjfuhfdgrta]

Ummm no its not the numbers were reduced, the amout of planes their purchising, F-22 is air superiority aircraft, F-35 for the most part is bomb truck, one major difference is F-22 has supercruse F-35 does not.

[Weps21]

144 F-22's in Service. And the A-10 does it job quite well.

[SpotterOz]

Other than the lack of wind, this looks pretty darn good.

[cricketfan6610]

y do all the tanks have sweepers?

[kempet]

You have the option to select wheter you want to have mineplows/rollers on the tanks or not.

[AirwarriorX2]

Man this brings back good memories going in to the city .

[texasrida1]

How many of you really know about the Thunder Run? I was there 3RD ID 3/7 INF

[kempet]

I have read the book called "Thunder Run" from David Zucchino - thats my main source if information on the two thunder runs. If you have some more media / info available I would be interested. Cheers

[indyjrt]

I read the book too.

[cadian14758]

fantastic book

[alpha6882]

How many M1A1(HA)s do yu need!?!?

[Kingonads]

ALL OF THEM!!!! LOL

[lockdownkill]

SB Pro scenario ... Great game

[AirwarriorX2]

can you make our own missions like american tanks vs german tanks are russian. =) like operation flashpoint.

[kalsonikk]

the name of this game????

[ashdivay]

SteelBeasts Pro PE , and its not a game , its a best Tank Sim , it cost $120 USD.

[itsaflyingtiger]

The real Thunder Run was one of the greatest tank manuevers in history. An unassisted armored thrust though the enemy's capitol city to take his airport. Talk about gutsy!!! This was the equivalent of flipping off the entire Iraqi milityar- HOOAHHH!!!!!!!!!

[1320crusier]

i think the word youre looking for is... epic..lol

[M1Lazenblaze]

Cool. I guess I need to get the new version of SB.

(If only Route Irish was that nice and clean!)

[ottoramsaig]

@M1Lazenblaze So true! been up and down Route Irish many times and I wish we could mod Iraq to look like it actually is. A dirty, foul smelling, disgusting arm pit.

My best command yet...............GUNNER THREE TANKS, TWO MOVING ONE STATIONARY, STATIONARY TANK! IDENTIFIED! FIRE AND ADJUST, UP!, ON THE WAY! TARGET, UP, MOVING TANKS, LEFT TANK, IDENTIFIED, FIRE! ON THE WAY! TARGET, RIGHT TANK! IDENTIFIED, UP, FIRE, ON THE WAY!, TARGET CEASE FIRE! All within 14 seconds. 19K40H8

[screecwe]

@ottoramsaig Route Irish used to be my patrol, 9-10 hours a night on that SOB.Best command I ever heard was yelled out by a Spc in the gunner's hatch during training . Someone yelled on the net "We're taking indirect fire!" Gunner: "Returning fire!" LT: "...You cant return fire on indirect.."



[BipedalMammal]

*OOOH!*

Don't forget to click the "Watch in high quality" link. I keep forgetting about that.

[elli782]

The games would be good if it had, good graphics, good storyline, and when you shoot someone it would be nice to see a tank get knocked out without just the smoke.

[chanrobi]

There are plenty of arcade games to play, no need to knock the one hard core simulation we aCtually have.

[BipedalMammal]

EXACTLY. THANK YOU.

It's not often I use capitals, so you obviously said something good.

:)

[trasheur112]

very very good vid ;-)

how much cost that game now?

[koalorka1]

Nice. What's the music?

[Kirq]

I think those are soundtracks from Matrix and 28 days later.

[warrat300]

Yep. Reloaded.

[cobrabase]

How did you get video from up in the tower????!

[uusitoonas]

AWESOME!

[veum]

Nice to see you keeping up your awesome work!

[Squog]
