Tankfest 2011 WW2 BritishTortoise heavy experimental tank, Jagdtiger rival?

[ChebysBrig]

It's gun (ordnance qf 32 punder) was only 94mm so it's rather puny for it's weight

[SmedleyDouwright]

That is a monster!

[MegaZerOTV]

Hit the lower plate!!

[AgCCannonFodder]

Is it me, or does the gun look rather puny on that great hulk?

[infernalzen]

@AgCCannonFodder while its not a 122mm, it did have a 34lbr shell?

[VictorVonVulfgang]

@AgCCannonFodder brittish, Always making big tanks with small guns. xD

[bigj651]

British tank tree in WoT <3

[infernalzen]

@bigj651 tier 9?

[GreyFergy101]

@bigj651 They really could start a british tree in wot with cromwell's, crusaders, comets, cruisers, vickers, tortoise, bishop, matilda's, churchills and others! Not to mention how many different variations and marks they could do. They could also take the churchill and matilda and put it in the british tree as it should be instead of it been in the russian tree.

[MrH1tler]

@bigj651 i can't belive they won't make a british tank tree when they are making a gay french one :(

[infernalzen]

@MrH1tler rewriting history, one lie at a time?

[LordKorloros]

@infernalzen Every comment you make seems to have a questionmark. Not being a critic, just thought it funny.

[infernalzen]

@LordKorloros im posting from memory, so could be wrong...

dont want to come across as some sort of twat, demanding what they say is right, when it is wrong. LOL

[LordKorloros]

@infernalzen heh I gotcha, its like a little pet peeve of mine but its funny.

[Rassoul44]

new tank in world of tanks soon?

[infernalzen]

@Rassoul44

1Q 2012?

[Rassoul44]

@infernalzen

whats 1q 2012? or whens 1q 2012 cuz on the facebook site it syas new tank coming out on 1q 2012

[infernalzen]

@Rassoul44 they divide the year into quarters.

so the tanks could come out any time in the first 3 months? or later if they are delayed.

[rockjawPG]

@F4Wildcat You see...that's something I never understood. When it comes to the tank the Brits basically invented the thing (American tractors notwithstanding) and yet it's got to be the Germans that invented the "best". My racing partner is a German engineer (grew up during the post WWII period, old guy ) and HE isn't all that impressed by the hardware. And yet...I hear about the German tanks all the time...

[Wolfenion]

I've been face to face with this thing and took a lot of pictures of it, what I didn't know is that it actually works. This is such a rare sight that you might as well see a running maus.

[infernalzen]

@Wolfenion in anothe of my vids, the tiny matilda drives infront of the tortoise :o

what a massive difference in tanks in just a few years... 11-78 tonnes

[infernalzen]

@Wolfenion yeah! hats off the the guys that returned it +maintain it, in working order

[edike]

@Wolfenion now lets see that maus,TOG 2,T28/T95,Object 279 running indeed=]

[Wolfenion]

@edike

If I was a millionaire I would happily restore the only surviving maus back to it's working glory, perhaps all the other rare gems too.

[edike]

@Wolfenion mate you have no idea how many times i though about the same thing! id re build all the tanks made in ww2 and even some of the ones drawn like the lowe kv5 and half made e100....for now what you can do to see these tanks and actually play with them go download world of tanks! it has every kind of tanks made well almost....maus,e100,lowe,king tiger..ect 3 nations they have...awesome game plz check it out

[Wolfenion]

@edike

Dude lol. I'm already on WoT and just need the Object 261 now to finish off the russian tree =D. Love the game and am obviously addicted to it, can't help it! 

[edike]

@Wolfenion niceee i have about 50 vehicles unlock i started off with russians now im on germany...trying to get that e100

[infernalzen]

@edike T30 +T95 have crazy guns :(

[edike]

@infernalzen well not really t30...it has good gun but its killed easy because if lacks hull armor! you have tier 9 tanks that you cant always pen and here we have a t30 that you pen easy./....now t95 is a different story! that u cant pen its front armor

[infernalzen]

@edike

just got my ISU152 +best gun. pretty similar stats to the T30 best gun :) time to go hunting (+hiding)

[edike]

@infernalzen BL10? everyone knows that gun! shit in the hole game thats the only tank guns name i remember lol

[infernalzen]

@edike

i actualy laughed the first time i "one shotted" a tank (it was a big turret kv, so theyve been doing it to others)

taking such a massive amount of hp off tanks in one go, usualy dampens their spirit.

IS-4's are the tank i hate the most (they seem immune when their armour mm should be defeated)

so i realy want to damage some IS-4's in game. i just have to hide long enough LOL

[edike]

@infernalzen i been 1 shotted in a kv3 by a 152mm bl10..i didnt believe my eyes! and is4 and vk4502 are fucking tough! u cant fucking pen vk4502 from front! and today i shot a fucking t95 at point blank range with 128mm under the gun and it didnt pen it! im like wtf i pen it before now i cant...man this game sometimes is fucked up!...armor works at times and sometimes completely shit same with fucking gunner

[infernalzen]

@edike i dont know if wot has some fuzing on shells?

at close range more shells dont do what they are should :( too close +the shells dont arm?

had a ferdi 243mm penetration shell, bounce off baby russian t34 front @50mr from perfect angle :(

T95 has to be the ugliest tank in game LOL

[edike]

@infernalzen i was in a clan battle yesterday and against one team and surprisingly everyone in my team could not pen their is7s,maus,t30s..i was taking on a maus 1 on 1 with my e100 128mm gun at close range and i was shooting at the weak spot beside the gun and i could not pen the fucking armor! i bounced 3-4 rounds there but when he shot me his rounds didnt bounce!! i think the hole gun penetration is done badly because 128mm on e100 has like 245mm pen and maus front turret is only 220

[edike]

@infernalzen im no noob at knowing where to shot tanks but could not fucking damage thats maus at face to face! thats some big bullshit right there! we kicked their clans ass a few days before very badly and now they fucking rushed us straight through! we was on the Ensk map and our 5-6 maus were in the city with some other tank and 2 t-95s covering them and while we was trying to fucking hold them off the city was lost! i look at the map and im like wtff happen everyone keept saying thats!

[infernalzen]

@edike do you think people have modified their wot tank programmes to cheat?

i had a bad tank duel.

my king tiger 225mm penetration couldnt penetrate 130mm of a kv3.

but the kv3 even if he used gold ammo, his max 230mm went through my sloped +turned 150mm every shot :(

combined with team arty that wasnt shooting :(

[edike]

@infernalzen could be! or that he was really really lucky! i had 107mm rounds bounce off 12mm armor i was like wtff....also if he angled himself right than your shots could just bounce off...though i found it very hard that 105mm bounced off 120mm armor! though for me yesterday same thing did happen! i was in my kv5 and i was attacking a fucking lowe and i could not penetrate the sucker at 10 meters with107mm and im like wtff are u serious? i never had problem penetrating lowe at close range

[infernalzen]

@edike i just got a ban on the forum.

in a "czech republic free of russian troops" thread, someone posted an off topic reply about how usa kills everyone +anyone who deosnt think so is a neo-nazi...

i replied, "get a job hippy" +i got an instant ban...

i replied to the moderator, asking if the other person got a ban for their off topic, insulting reply...

they havent replied to me.

wot should be renamed world of russian proporganda

[edike]

@infernalzen yeah the mods are pretty lame! i asked if anyone could show me the earliest picture of t54 and a guy replied try using google instead of asking people so that pissed me off a little so i replied to him and after that everyone started picking on me! lol i have 300- on my profile because! oh 1 time i asked they should put m1a2 into the game for like 100k gold and 1st guy to reply called me stupid..wot sometimes full of little sensitive girls lol

[infernalzen]

@edike just found out that the ferdi is going to be nerfed in patch 6.7, along with other german +american tanks.

imagine my shock at finding out no russia tanks are being nerfed. NO SHOCK.

russians must be realy insecure to have to rewrite history at every opportunity.

[edike]

@infernalzen yeah for some reason the russian tanks seem to be the most powerful! tiger 1 was suppose to go 38kmp and king tiger was suppose to go 41kmp but in game both tanks are slow..

[hwoods01]

@edike thats because they both have the equivilent of a 5HP engine.

[edike]

@hwoods01 that does not explain why the game king tiger has 28kmp speed ingame when it originally had 41.5kmp...same with tiger 1 it had 38kmp and only goes 30kmp...bullshit i say

[infernalzen]

@edike i thought i'd seen that tigers had lower ground pressure than t34's aswell :o

a puzzle for me, is the t43 +others, with 4 man crews.

in game drive the best, shoot +reload very well...

the loss of a crew man seems to improve performance. how is that possible ?

[edike]

@infernalzen does not matter tiger 1 should be able to go as fast as it originally did same with tiger 2...and i got no idea about the loss of crew

[infernalzen]

@edike

imagine my shock after reading a jagdtiger could destroy an IS2 @3500mr, to have a bounce off the wolverines 25mm side armour @50mr :o

too much wrong with the game :( but fixing it wont get them gold, so they dont bother?

[edike]

@infernalzen well the game is balanced if it was based on 100% real life than most tanks would get killed by 1 shot from a jadgtiger or anyone other tier 8-10 tank and thats no fun! i like this HP system it because separates real life....you want realistic tank game? theirs a ww2 tank sim called t34/85 vs tiger or something like that...when it came out the graphics were awesome =]

[infernalzen]

@edike

i bought it, but after seeing how many keys are needed to use the tank,

i thought im never going to learn this...

[edike]

@infernalzen yeah it is very complicated game...

[edike]

@infernalzen and there was no arty on their team! only 3 e100s 4-5 maus bunch of t30s and 2 object 704s.

[infernalzen]

@edike

just have to accept that 1944 tanks will be playing 1949 tanks.

[TasteOfIrony]

Resembles the US T28 TD.

[yellowtommytanker]

A39 Toroise was designed to take on anything the German's could throw at it during world war two, and later the Russian during the cold wars. Tortoise was an absolute pig to transport because of it's size, this is the only surviving one out of 6 manufactured.

[petrwarry72]

damn big monster indeed
