Firepower - Battle Tanks (Part 2/3)

[Krazypker147]

why is the the gun riffled at 1:50?

[OlderG0ds]

@Krazypker147 I believe that's the first M1 variant which carried the 105mm rifled gun. 

[MOVIMKR7]

thanks for that, the usa army told us in training it was the t-72, but thanks

[MOVIMKR7]

first up, the nazi kick the frenchy butts, and the yankees freed france, for the most part, the french are not known to be major azz kickers, so honestly, they are good at whipping up a problem for the rest of the world. then playing chicken, the special opps is a differant story, and the auto loader originally came for the t-72 russian tank, which sucks anyway, just saying

[GvardiyaBY]

@MOVIMKR7

Actually first MBT with autoloader was Soviet T-64, not T-72.

[popper504]

The t 90 has a much longer length of gun. i would assume much more velocity also. In fact the allies had to go from a l42 gun to a l55 gun to penetrate the t 90

ww3 is gonna suck bawls. End of WW2 the world population was around 2.5 billion ppl. Now it is 7 billion. More than double the amount of fighting age ppl and the killing tech is like 10+ times more powerfull. Its going to be quick with a very, very high body count. Civilian deaths would outnumber soldier deaths by a large amount. Then ppl would go "I guess we have now learned from our mistakes and will never do it again". Until WW4.

abrams tank uses chobham armor plus DU

[TQLCVNCH]

Why does the section about the abrams take so much time?

[916GR]

ABRAMS!!! fuck the French they always surrender, their nothing but pussies!

[eikkkN]

@916GR Nice stereotypes.

[popper504]

@916GR Eugene Vaulot? Leon Degrelle were far from pussies and they were french. some warriors

[Blueatchley12]

i think the guy at 4:10 ear drums exploded

[Voss2120]

The French Leclerc is a good tank, but remember folks.. the tool is only as good as its crew! LOL Beside Leclare was a wimp and ran to England after the German invasion, then drops in after D-Day and the break out of Normandy which was lead by British and American troops to beat a dead German horse and declare power and victory for France... He was a joke.

[Guitarnoob99]

hmm if an AT gun hits the ifrared scaners and the sensors the tank is basicly usless, beside i wonder what woud they do if all the electronics failed ? ,,, is there a manual option ? ..+ good luck with all the options on the screen :D ... jesus crist what more would a man need in a hot battle than just locate enemy and fire 2 things , like the dudes going to start pushing the screen like crazzy going threw all the options :] .... i dont know if all that technology and electronics would be good

[Guitarnoob99]

1:37 it looks like tank has SS inicials xD

[TankNutJohn89]

@chrisrogerrabbit: I really hate it, if people talk Shit and everyone is believing this. The M256 is a license build version of the german Rheinmetall L/44 build by General Dynamics in the UNITED STATES!

[6digit]

Merkava,Russia's T-tanks and Turkish tank should on this video they also good!

[DREwestcoast]

LeClercs are best

[corporacionmonstruo]

00:29 i really doubt a human can survive to that explosion,i just don´t buy it.

[OlderG0ds]

@corporacionmonstruo Looks completely fine in the tank to me.

[corporacionmonstruo]

@OlderG0ds thats beacause you are not inside

[OlderG0ds]

@corporacionmonstruo They show you video of inside the tank...

[corporacionmonstruo]

@OlderG0ds yes,i´m just incredulous when the people making the documentals do not criticize any of their own country.

[kkadz]

@OlderG0ds the video isnt going to show the shock wave that'll mess you up. :/

[GeanJin]

@corporacionmonstruo from inside of that tank that would be survivable if u get out immediately after, saw this happen a few times in iraq, once the crew got out with their flaks on fire but alive

[popper504]

@corporacionmonstruo they showed the inside of the tank simultaneously while the tank caught fire

[TankNutJohn89]

@chrisrogerrabbit: Well... another german Idiot. The Abrams uses the General Dynamics M256 which is basically the same Cannon as the Rh L/44, but it's made in the US. Not in Germany, it's license made. And the Leclerc uses the french CN 120-26/52 made from GIAT.

[CookiesAndGuns95]

1:36- My goodness, I thought what the logo on the tank was an SS logo! Thank goodness it ain't!

[ShinigamixXXx]

isnt the british Mark 1 the first tank ?

[OlderG0ds]

@ShinigamixXXx

Well, Mark I was the first tank used in combat, depending on your definition of tank. First modern type tank with a turret and gun that could move around was French Renault FT17.

[Dongskie2]

@OlderG0ds : you are making things complicated, historically Mark 1 was the first TANK in the world. Don't make it more complicated than that...

His question was simple and correct...

[Dongskie2]

@ShinigamixXXx : Yes you are correct.

[STOPTHEEU]

@ShinigamixXXx First official tank yeh. There were improvised cars previous to it. MK1 was the first purpose built. :-)

[Blopdomia]

Great video documentary! thanks!
