2/5 Greatest Tank Battles - Battle of Kursk - Northern Front.

[030186]

and the panthers? can't see in documentary



[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@030186

thats is becuase the very first batch of Panthers wich were send to the Russian front Litteratly broke down from the train station, were they were being un-loaded, to the assembly point. i recall that less then 9 (nine) panthers were combat ready, those everntually broke down becuase of mechinical faillures.

[amartinjoe]

2:26 so EPIC!!

[topperheartramada]

@TheRedRussianCossack Well, the Soviet Union conquered East Europe. They were not welcome there. They installed undemocratic, brutal puppet regimes to serve as first line of defence.

[topperheartramada]

@ad220588 well, ultimately the communists wanted all the world to be communist, though not necessarily through conquest. But the war in finland was about taking control of an area that was strategically important for defence, not attack. It was not a war aimed at conquering all of finland.

[TheRedRussianCossack]

@topperheartramada The same reason there was a "Soviet Bloc", it was to be used for defensive measures.

[MrGA320]

@topperheartramada Just fuck you. ;) Бойся, теперь, русских ещё больше. :) гыгыыы

Вообще, совет такой: прекрати выёбываться, а не то русские тебя найдут и всё - будет жопа. Может и не будет. Но кому это будет интересно, когда твою жопу натянут? :)

[Thorwolf99]

***** !!! Excelent job !!!!Nice movies !!!

[qusaisaher]

2:21 world of tanks :D

we just ding it XD

[Naitsabes68]

there is never any engineer when we need them

[djmarkski2000]

02:05 Did the turret on a T34 turn that fast? That's hard to believe.

[Nikitos253]

@djmarkski2000 u y drived t34-76?

[djmarkski2000]

@Nikitos253 No, I've never driven a T34/76. I believe that the turret was hand cranked. Whether turned by motor or hand it's hard to believe that it turned as fast as was shown in the video. As much as I like German tanks, I do realize that T34/76 was one of the best tanks at least early in the war. It had a well sloped armor coupled with a good gun. It was better than German tanks early in the war. I certainly was better than any Panzer III or a Panzer IV with a short 50 mm gun.

[grahwo]

@djmarkski2000

panzer 3 and four was rather outdated by this time.. designed for 1940-41 battles =P not 43 =) PIII meeting T34 was like an T28 meeting an P4 =P (concidering how tank design had evolved)

[djmarkski2000]

@grahwo You're absolutely right. I believe that when Germany invaded Russia they still had some Panzer IIIs and IVs in service and they were outmatched by T34/76 then.

[grahwo]

@djmarkski2000

the most ammuseing part is how much russians claims to have shot up Tiger Tanks actually where fighting P4s. Due to the siluette of an P4 is easily to mistake for an Tiger. =)

[djmarkski2000]

@grahwo lol

[SharpAdze]

They make the T-34 look so slow, it went 50KPH...

[ArmAFan]

The only battle which is actually the greatest tank battle....

[MrHawkeye117]

The Germans definately had the better tanks, and the better soldiers, more elite, better weapons. better training. etc. but they just were'nt able to produce these amazing killing machines fast enough. the russians where pumping them out like nonstop at rapid paces. and with more and more german factories being destroyed the germans eventually found themselves with units on the front with not ammo, outnumbered 10 to 1 and no reinforcements, if they did have any, they just got bombed.no chance...

[h455566hh]

Thank you USSR for wining the war.

[Patriot1418]

@h455566hh lol

[topperheartramada]

@h455566hh signed who? poland? czechoslovakia? hungary? the entire easter europe was thrown into communist slavery. fuck you and your communist russia. it took too long for that communist abomination to finally die.

[StarfireAlpha]

@topperheartramada on top of that USSR invade Poland with Nazi Germany in 1939 hmm ain't they guilty of starting WWII in Europe?

[topperheartramada]

@StarfireAlpha it was german desire to conquer all of europe that was the driving force behind all the events that led up to wwii. it wasn't just poland, was it?

[ad220588]

@topperheartramada it was Sovjet desire to conquer all of europe, that was starting with the attack of Finland

[9antsa6]

i believe that ferninand (later called elephant) was much heavier than tiger. ferninand had its thiggest armor 200mm when tiger had 100mm. and ferninands weight was 65t when tigers was 55t.

[kasalet]

why the only tanks they are showing are Tigers and T-34?

Thy there is no mention about German PzKpfw III, IV, Panthers? Panzerjagers, Hanomags, no f***n word? Same for Soviet T-70(which made more than 40% of SU Tank Forces?) or SU-152, codenamed "Zveroboy" which mean "Animal Killer", with their 152mm gun they was true nightmare for Tiger crews...

weak show

[9antsa6]

@kasalet SU-152 was more used as artillery, but it also was used as a tankdestroyer

[Burnz2much]

God damnit, this makes me want to play WWii online Battleground Europe.. Time to upgrade the PC again.

[VictumRoManius]

2:05

"Oh, there are two enemy tanks at our right. Lets move the gun to the left."

[maggottyblackie]

may i ask,can tanks turret only move in one direction?how come at around 2mins there,the tank took 1 whole round to turn when it could turn from the other side..

[lodhol]

God I hate American shows,they always show how russians are idiots and savages who won cause they were JUST lucky.And AMERICAN TROOPS WON CAUSE THEY ARE BRAVEST,SMARTEST,WITH BIGGEST DICKS IN THE WORLD YEAH MARINES BABY.Fucking arogant morons

[SuperUnknownError]

at 5.15 its a stug III right i believe it had a verry low rate of armor but well after all it was a tank destroyer

[tropicthunder332]

WTH? 2:05 couldnt he just turn it to the right? instead of 270° left turn?

[zoran3119]

MI POBEDILII SLOMILI GITLEROVCI I SRAMNILI SRANA GERMANIAA HAHAHA

[johncena1012595]

thumbs up if you hate having a translator that you can hardly understand

[deadlystylez]

Actually, a single prototype of the Maus was developed in 1944, but that was when Nazi Germany had realized that it must concede defeat as they were outnumbered and overpowered by the Allies forces. The biggest flaw with producing the Maus was its speed and weight ratio, because the weight had exceeded 200 metric tons and maximum speed for the tank was only 13 KMH due to the lack of a sufficiently strong engine to buttress the weight of the tank. I think the prototype is now in a Russian museum.

[EMIR72CC]

Tiger was certainly the strongest tank in 1943 just befored IS 2 appeared , i still go with tiger as a formidable TANK vS tANK FIGHTING MACHINE , WITH AN INCREDIBLE CAPABILITYS

[Balaimitaxi]

This episode is often kind of ridiculous, to much sensational documentary, and wtf are the tigers and t-34 charging each other in that pathetic formation that looks more like the Battle of trafalgar mixed with a cavalry charge from the Battle of Austerlitz. The Tiger could hit enemy targets from 2 klm, but from this video i looks like it only does at 50 meters, i would like more historicall-acurate documentarys, not this....

[lilgoss912]

@Balaimitaxi this historicaly acurate watch all 10 parts 5 southern 5 nothern and youll learn why thay are so close

[craterus555]

What a waste! Imagine what would have happened if russian tanks weren't backed up by anti-tank guns.

[theproudicelander]

Russian commander " charge, why the fuck are the snails going faster than us

[avaxell]

The Maus was too heavy for any bridge if, and I say IF, they had been battle ready they wouldnt have made it out of Germany and would have only played a role in defending against the allied attacks.

[Sparty1234561]

I have noticed that the T-34 here are moving very slowly. for what i have seen

in the real films in ww2 most of the t-34 are moving very fast in this battle.

[Mikoyan01]

"The Tiger is the German Army's Biggest Tank"

then what did they categorize the King Tiger and the Maus? Fortress?

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@Mikoyan01

The Köningstiger wasen't in Kursk. It reached Panzer Units in early 1944.

And the Maus never reached Combat Status.

[kornek21]

@ThePanzerWarMachine the maus reached prototype stage, but there was never made a prototype training, the hull and the engine was made but never put together.

[MrVolcanoes22]

@ThePanzerWarMachine He is referring to the fact that the Panzer VI Tiger wasn't the largest German armored fighting vehicle built, though it's true that Panzer VIB Tiger IIs weren't in service untill 1944.

[grahwo]

@ThePanzerWarMachine

Well, it is speculated about the one tank that was found not too far away from the proving grounds, that was found with its turret dragged off as it had broken down.. Its beleaved it saw combat :3 probably just mumbo jumbo but fun to immagine? xD

[vukashin88]

@Mikoyan01 Not a single mouse was ever built, so it doesn't count.

On the other hand, Jagdtiger was even heavier than the Tiger II.

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@vukashin88

false information! 3 maus were build, 1 for the turret, 1 for the hull and engine and the third was destroyed while it was still been build by the Germans before the Russians could Capture it. Obviously you've never seen the Maus Tank in Kubinska Tank Museum? it is there - all 188 tons of it!

[GalaticSpaceHero]

@ThePanzerWarMachine Just big target for Thunderbolt to drop 500lb bombs.

[ultramarine218]

@ThePanzerWarMachine Only 2 Maus were made. One was actually combat ready. The other only had the hull completed with a mock-up turret.

[TheSoulWizzard]

@ThePanzerWarMachine and you are not exactly correct either. 3 maus's were made, only 1 was fitted, and the Americans actually captured it. russia captured one of the almost complete ones, and they finished it and put it in there museum. America used the mous they captured to design a tank like it. was never put into production tho

[Dreachon]

@TheSoulWizzard

Only 2 maus prototypes were ever build, the V1 with a simulated turret and the V2 version with a full turret, however a multitude of parts like turrets were constructed and several pics of these exist.

The version at Kubinka consist of the V1 hull and the V2 turret, recovered from the two wrecks founds by the russian,s there never was a 3rd Maus and the US most certainly didn't capture one

[RebelSonBand]

@ThePanzerWarMachine Only 2 maus was build..The no3 was a proto-type with cement inside it,to do field testing...And yes,no2 was destroyed by the Germans and no3 is a museum.. :)

[903strikerunit]

@ThePanzerWarMachine 188 tons? are you sure? O_O

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@903strikerunit

Yep. 188 tons is what the maus weighs. Thats why it is ironic to call it the maus

( Mouse).

[DoomLord1395]

@ThePanzerWarMachine even those,Maus never use in battle,and it was captured by Soviet amry

[Luziferratus]

@ThePanzerWarMachine nope, the first name of the projekt was "Mamut" but Hitler mean, this name is to easy to decypt, and so he order to rename the projekt into "maus"

[VictumRoManius]

@ThePanzerWarMachine In Kubinska Tank museum? I think i have a new destination. Than you. ;-)

[routhoula]

@ThePanzerWarMachine 188 tons?! that's heavier than an assault class battlemech

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@routhoula

Yes, thats is the weight of the Maus. When Kubinska got the Hands on their Example, they really needed to scratch the heads to solve the Problems.

[trulynot]

@vukashin88 Is your google broken ? How about checking facts before committing yourself to a comment ?

[vukashin88]

@trulynot Allright, I stand corrected. A few of them were in the process of being built, but they were never completely finished and reardy for battle. They were either destroyed or captured before being sent into battle. OK now? But it doesn't matter, doesn't it? They still played no role whatsoever.

[trulynot]

@vukashin88 Do your homework and write more accurately next time and you wont get schooled. :oP

[mofert]

@vukashin88 The jagdtiger wasn´t a real tank, it was a tank destroier, it had no turret witch could turd 360°

[Blahmarrow]

@vukashin88 2:21, when the tiger's turret starts turning: "oh nos" went through my mind. that's the only thing that did.

[Blahmarrow]

@Blahmarrow whups did that wrong, don't mind me

[9antsa6]

@vukashin88 maus was built but newer saw combat

[shitbringer]

@Mikoyan01

In the 1943 period mate....

[TheLastTrueDacian]

@Mikoyan01 In 1943 the Tiger was the German Army Biggest Tank! The Tiger II (King or Royal Tiger) was made at the biggining of 1944 and Maus was only a stupid, unable to cross a bridge, prototipe.

[deadlystylez]

The maus was never developed. If they had developed such a monolithic beast, it would have had surely given the Nazi the edge in combat. In fact, I think it would have won the war.

[captaindyllanrexs]

@deadlystylez You think 1 tank wouldve a won a war? The maus wouldve been raped by airplanes, B-17's, artillarly, and troops climbing into the tank to kill it.

[deadlystylez]

@captaindyllanrexs Let me tell you this; If the Maus reached the full development phase and unleashed into the battlefield, they were be practically invulnerable to any type of attacks as they were fully enclosed. These tanks were capable of surviving hits from the most powerful tanks that the allies had without breaking a sweat. If Germans acquired these tanks, they would make sure to buttress them with a circuitous shield of troops, and of course, air support.

[captaindyllanrexs]

@deadlystylez Germany barely had any aircraft left, and if they did, the allies wouldve had more.

[deadlystylez]

@captaindyllanrexs I know. As soon as the USA and its allies promulgated their interest to impede the Nazi expansion and put a stop to their atrocities, Hitler and his Regime began to glide down a landslide that lead straight to defeat. If the Nazi expansion was only a regional battle for hegemony and power, the USA would not have intervened as they would not be under the threat of being attacked. However, it was clear from the rapid expansion that the Nazis were after the entire world.

[deadlystylez]

@captaindyllanrexs The Maus would not have been 'raped' by anything. They would be practically invulnerable to any type of damage from bombs, machine guns, RPG...etc. because it was a fully enclosed tank that had 450 MM of armour. that's 4 times more than King Tiger.

[captaindyllanrexs]

@deadlystylez is all that armor on the top? hmmmm?and notice how it had no machine guns. Just throw a grenade inside it and "boom" no more maus.

[calimar28]

@Mikoyan01 There were no King Tigers in 1943.

[encharta94]

@Mikoyan01 i think they meant main battle tanks,the maus and king tigers were classified experimental and never deployed in huge numbers

[SuperUnknownError]

@Mikoyan01 the maus wasn't finished yet the allied forces discovered the maus tank but only the hull there wasn't a tuuret mounted on the really never finished it...

[Ucheny]

@SuperUnknownError go on wikipedia to Panzer_VIII_Maus article and read.

[xaviborrasfont]

@Mikoyan01 I assume they mean the German Army in Kursk

[TheTokkin]

@Mikoyan01 Maus is more of a pillbox. About as mobile.

[92Sevv]

2:23 "Motherfucker"



[GjVj]

Brutal.
