  • Good Video

  • amazing frame rate

  • u nice ellestar

  • Micko you need just kv to dmg IS-7 and KV doesnt need to have 152mm gun. 2x AMX 13 90 and IS-7 is dead in 10 seconds. Btw remember 2nd wheel between track and hull, there is 0 armor. IS-4 is better with his armor because it can use sides, IS-7 can too but there isnt 100% success that you wouldnt get any dmg.

  • lol at MM,you cant get opponents this easy even in KV3,KV3 is usually the bottom feeder in T10-T6. For those who doesn't know,none of these tanks can hurt him,KT could do some dmg,152mm KV too,but the rest of them cant scratch him even from behind.

  • 5:31 epic kill

  • I just loved how u ignore first KV :D Also 9th kill was like....lol :D Very nice playing, its rare to see players who know what to do. Привет от България!

  • @todiros95 Did the arty kill you? :o How much credits and exp gives you!

  • мужик ты ппц задр скок ты в WOT играешь????????????????

  • @SAPSAN6245

    Уже давно не играю.

  • @SAPSAN6245 мужик ты ппц лох, твоя стата 1300 боёв 200 танков убил огорчает любого

  • A lot of kills but... IS7 vs KV or PZ III/IV. Matchamaking sucks.

  • @tropq

    It's old. Or more like ancient.

    Matchmaking was remade several times so now it's impossible to meet many of the tanks in the movie when you're on IS-7.

  • @tropq

    It's old. Or more like ancient.

    Matchmaking was remade several times so now it's impossible to meet many of the tanks in the movie when you're on IS-7.

  • where is their tier X? thats nothing when you fight KW or meds...

  • @ThyriadREAL LOOK AT THE DATE WHEN THIS WAS RELEASED. THIS WAS WAS AN OLD MATCHMAKER SYSTEM

  • u r first not-noob is-7 on YT congratulations!

  • would you like to come in our clan?

  • You are Amazing

  • Pz III/IV ваше угар.

  • wait WTF? 11 kills ? what about the last artillery?

  • What used to be the most overpowered tier 10 is now the worst tier 10 xD

  • эм... баланс) патч тестите 7.0?

  • FUCKING PRO SOVIET

  • stupid how did a is-7 go to those kinds of battle

  • 5:31 Nice 1 :D

  • why that KV tanked all the shots? is the IS7 gun to nerfed?

  • Nice 5:18 hahaha.

  • would you say the IS-7 is a good tank, ive spent a long time on the russian heavy line (currently at IS-3) and, you know, wanted to make sure i hadnt wasted my time xD

  • @BloodnXyGameReviews

    I think IS-7 is the best heavy tank (even if it's nerfed too much compared to real-life IS-7). But T-54 is better for my playstyle.

  • @EllestarTheElflord what about ricochet? do shells from tier 8,9,10 tanks penetrate most of the time and is the frontal armor good? many players say the shells go in with no problem...

  • @BloodnXyGameReviews Well I have the IS-4, And I know for a fact when the IS-4 is put up to tier 10 in the russian patch it will be better then the IS-7, but If you are playing your IS-3, and if you like it, The IS-7 is for you, it's playstyle is almost Identical to the E-50, IS-3, KV-1s, KV-13, and tanks like that, except usually the IS-7 will go A LOT faster.

  • @Shuttheheckup735 IS-7 will go faster then the E-50. Funny.

  • lol 1 vs all xD

  • I kill only 9 tanks with PzII Luchs xDDD

  • нуб на ис7

  • lol rams leopard to death

    

  • ... but why this fucking music ?

  • whats the music?

    btw the teams are trying to cap while you are powing whole enemy team?

  • Lol , how you rammed the leopard to dead :D

  • why you shoot in the tracks and not do any things

  • Very nice dude :)

  • you get like 60-80 FPS, you bastard. i only get 12 max. i do pretty good but its hard. a new comp i think is in order when i have less bills, haha

  • how is possible to your amunitions don`t reloading? ??? ? ?

  • I wish they can put all of IS tanks, including IS-10, or then renamed T-10.

  • Comment removed

  • Poor Leopard.

  • nice

    

  • monster IS7

    

  • i loled at the sight of the grille running for base then gettin blown up

  • lol at leopard xd

  • Nice gameplay. Couldnt do any better than that myself. Also nice music and graphics.

  • 这人技术真不咋地..只是运气比较好罢了...-, -

    you are lucky  nothing else....

  • I absolutely love this video! Friggin awesome :D

  • OMG that's great

  • is-4's gettin bumped up to tier 10

  • his minigun looks like di*k

  • That lucky PzKpfw III Ausf. A got into the big league :D

  • fav part is when he decided the leopard wasn't worth the ammo

  • 3:17 Run forrest....Runn !!!!!

  • This video was possible because the match had no artilleries :D

  • @Stokkolm wait, what?

  • @mEDIUMGap SPGs are the counter to big heavy tanks, especially when they expose themselves like that. I've even seen full hp IS-7 dieing in one shot from artillery.

  • @Stokkolm nonono

    I asked because I did not understand - howitzer near the castle is not considered? and a little one, burnt in the begining

  • 5:23 fuck to the death xD hahahaha

  • low tier game, but still not bad. i rofled on that leopard that u rammed 4timesxD

  • lol this shit is immortal :o

  • ИС-7 на фоне танков 5 лвл выглядет круто

  • I'd hate to be a tier 4 looking down the barrel of a tier 10 heavy... and people complain about the load balancer being crap NOW! :)

  • is7= god on tracks

  • WOW!!!!12 heds WOW

  • run panzer run...

  • i love how u killed leo i think :)

    itslovely how tanks were op :)

  • poor little leopard...

  • This is why I went the Russian line

  • Nice

  • dude this is EPIC gameplay

  • If I was that idiot King Tiger there...you would be dead.

  • @idvhfd

    Well, it was beta almost a year before. Now players are much more skilled.

  • @EllestarTheElflord they are not

  • @idvhfd Nah! you'd be dead meat first. XD

  • @Nickael7 No way dude.Each of that tanks attack him frontally.Some of them just run before him.You must go behind him,cuz he is higher tier.That's what I did in my tiger which seems to be just like a medium tank for the is-7 @-@

  • @idvhfd But you forgot something so important about the IS series, is that their extremelly thick armor is concentrated mainly in the front, plus it has the most deflective armor of its time. The IS series are sometimes nicknamed "THE PIKE" because of its ability to spearhead frontal assaults. And another thing the IS-7 was made in1948, it has a better alloy configuration on its armor vs. the tiger 2 and MAus. The IS-7 served as an inspiration for the modern Abram tank who's armor is frontal.

  • @idvhfd Tiger II is tier 8, IS-7 is tier 10 and in this case still at full health ... good luck mate :D

  • @angelking231 Yeah I can kill it :D

    I've got a quite a luck at lighting russian tanks on fire :\

  • @idvhfd everyones lucky at lighting russian tanks on fire seeing as most of them have external fuel tanks genius

  • @idvhfd

    You'd still be an idiot though.

  • @idvhfd loool

  • красава

  • @idvhfd This was the BETA. NOTHING killed the IS-7 in the beta. However, it's a joke now lol :P

  • Is7 that overpowered or low tier game?

  • @MattRockin

    Old low tier game. With a new balancer, there are no games like that.

  • @EllestarTheElflord unfortunately, there still are. I mean, i still meet T30's, MAUS's or IS-7's in my T7 JagdPanther...

  • @MattRockin both

  • this is my favourite map but i barely ever get sent there

  • IS-7... such perfect sloping... so beautiful...

  • 5:32 FINNISH HIM! HUMILIATION! FLAWLESS VICTORY !

  • what's this great soundtrack ???

  • @poppopdidu

    As i said in the description, it's from a film "Shaolin Soccer"

  • I hope you can use the machine gun on top

  • @bunny153649 why? what would you fire it at? a tank? and what? annoy it? FAIL!

  • @jfmn24 if you mount a .50 cal you can damage those light tanks

  • @bunny153649 the big tanks would have carried large calibur mg's capable of hurting and even destroying the lighter low tier tanks. but they arent matched with each other. and the use of an mg would require the commander being on the top of the tank and not in the tank meaning that he would die as soon as a he round landed nearby. tank vs tank equal teirs mgs are useless.

  • с таким балансом даже криворукий бы справился. Почти все противники даже пробить его не могут.

  • arcade...fun? lol

    maybe if your iq was 100 and you're easily amused.

  • вообще шикарно сыграл, молодчик поболше бы таких в камандах , всю команду вытинул :)

  • Хорош

  • Cool! nice whit training battle!!

  • 5:16 EPIC!!!

  • say goodbye to that is7 cause it's gonna be gone in the release.

  • @uptop84 er no. FAIL!

  • @jfmn24 What i meant was he has to start over. Back to that tin can ms1 again.

  • planning on making more videos anytime soon ? :)

  • That was really good fight that you put out there! really good!

  • so obviously the IS-7 is way too overpowered if 7 tanks from all sides cant take it out nothing can

  • блин чел ахренено играет..=)

    а чо не доконца....?????

  • жестоко ты с пантерой

  • Wow this game is crazily unbalanced, and unrealistic :? Was thinking of trying it till I saw this 0.0

  • @passwordresetisbroke

    Hmm, why is it unbalanced? Many things in the game are realistic (tank models, ballistics, internal tank modules, armor penetration etc.) but ultimately it's meant to be fun as an arcade so it's not 100% realistic.

  • @EllestarTheElflord You took at least 10 hits to the rear of your hull from guns that would penetrate it EASILY, and took little to no damage, plus many point blank shots to other parts of you, (though I am unsure where those shots came from so am unsure as well of thier ability to penetrate your hull).

    And yet you could tear through everything with no effort. If you claim that this isnt unbalanced you are fooling yourself., you may as well have turned godmode on.

  • @passwordresetisbroke

    Well, it isn't a simulator so one penetration doesn't destroy a tank of the same level (well, most of the time).

    Also, it was a fight in beta so there were a lot of a low-lvl tanks with a low-caliber (low-damage) guns. Right now you can't meet them in a random battle, you're fighting a higher-lvl opponents in IS-7.

  • @EllestarTheElflord It wasnt so much that you werent immediately destroyed as much as the hits to the rear did almost no damage, you took more damage from IS-2 shots to the glacis than you did 75mm to the rear, which of course makes no sense.

    Though im fairly sure a shot through the rear of an IS-3 to 7 is a surefire engine kill.

    Anyway, maybe I have been a bit quick about this game, if you like tanks, look up a game called steelbeasts. And thank me later (assuming you can afford it :D)

  • @passwordresetisbroke The IS-7 bro had better alloys than its cousin counterparts or German tanks of WW2.

  • @Nickael7 How would that make any difference at all when you have weapons with between 110mm and 190mm of 30degrees RHAe penetration at 1000 yards hitting your tank where your armour is at most 50mm at point blank?

  • @passwordresetisbroke KingTiger is absolutely no match for the mighty IS-7 armor superiority and firepower. The IS-7 had much better alloys than the KT counterpart. Which is something that you ignore. A naval gun do far greater damage than a regular tank gun. ;-)

  • @Nickael7 And what does that have to do with shots to the rear of the tank from weapons that could penetrate it?

    Listen asshat, next time rather than spouting nonsense that has nothing to do with what is on the screen, why not use your fingers for something else? Say tieing a noose to your ceiling and dangling from it?

    Hmm, maybe that is a little, extreme. How about just dont spout irrelevant nonsense?

  • @passwordresetisbroke This is where MATERIAL ENGINEERING comes first Mr. A-Hole Troller. Study engineering than talk later.

  • @Nickael7 Well as far as I was aware there was no such magical metal that somehow has 4 times the effective thickness of RHAe. Oh wait thats because there isnt.

    Or are you claiming that the IS-7 Had modern DU reinforced composite armour? Even then that isnt 4x RHAe. And no modern tank uses that anywhere other than the Glacis or turret front. So the IS-7 is groundbreaking in 2 ways then?

    Your "argument" is invalid.

  • @passwordresetisbroke No by that time 88mm (circa end of 1945) from KT was already underpowered, metal alloys was getting better in allied sides, the IS-7 was very thickly armored and its slopped configuration didn't alloy the old 88mm KT gun damage the IS-7, alloys comprise of materials other than just high carbon steel, but as well some molybdenum, nickel, chrome, vanadium, etc. Post-war RHA was better. DU came in the late 70s and DU is crappier than Wolframium Carbide or Syndie.

  • @Nickael7 The T-80 and t-90 use wolframium from what I have been told, and most peopleI have seen, including a polish defence journalist whos stuff I trust (he used to post stuff on the forum of a hyperrealistic sim) said that DU composites in the abrams and challenger are superior thickness for thickness.

    Regardless back to my initial point. THIS WHOLE THING WAS ABOUT A PANTHER or TIGER II s ability to penetrate an IS-7s rear at point blank, no matter what alloy it would happen.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Its not about hits to the front, I dont care about that, read the initial point.

    I stated that it was unreal how multiple point blank shots to the rear hull of the tank (where the IS-3 was 30mm, so as a rough estimate the IS-7 is 50mm, as IIRC the T-80 was only 80-100mm at the rear, seems odd for the IS-7 to be thicker.) from weapons with 110mm-190mm penetration at 30 degrees at 1000 yards is unreal.

    Then you come along blathering about composites?!

  • @passwordresetisbroke Damn, sorry to spam, but I know what Wolframium is, but I have never heard of syndie before, and google just turns up programming stuff or Cindy Malloy :/

  • @passwordresetisbroke Syndie stands for synthetic diamonds.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Metals are to be respected with proper temperatures, forging process for metal grain fibers redistribution and cooling for all Eutectic alloys. They are heated to the temperature passed the 800 degrees to make the Austenetic metal (non-magnetic level) were carbon and other alloys are expanding due to the extreme heat, than they are quenched with a media of water, oil or air to obtain the proper Martentempered steel which is the apex of its strength in both hard and tough.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Hardness can be achieve up to 70 Rc Rockwell (carbo-nitrided steel treatment) and achieve a core toughness of up 1000 ft-lb/in energy absorbed in Izod measures.

  • @passwordresetisbroke The back of an IS-7 is much thicker than that. You don't need very thick metals if the alloys are in effect correct. Normal carbon steel 1020 at 50mm thick is swiss cheese to penetrate, but not an alloy made with "tool steel" mix material, such as D2, H-10, A2, etc. High carbon steel RHA, such 1090 is efficient to say enough to bounce off a WW2 88mm gun with the proper heat treatment and quenching process. No composite here !!! Only steel alloys.

  • @passwordresetisbroke DU in fact is the worst material protection especially for the new designed PYROPHORIC KE penetrator, DU is very flammable making the Abrams a rolling burning coffin, Wolframium carbide mixed with Inconel can stand temperature above the 2000 degrees Celsius bar level and beyond. DU melts at 1140 degree Celsius. DU is cheaper, but inefficiently heavy and life risky, they use it because it is a very DENSE material for stopping KE penetrator and very cheap.

  • @Nickael7 Its wierd, you say some things that are accurate, yet some that arent.

    Uranium and Tungsten are both as dense/heavy as eachother (tungsten slightly more so but only slightly). And depleted uranium is also much more expensive than tungsten.

    Plus all tungsten use in modern armour is as a heavy metal module in composite armour (challenger and t-90 both use it as thier heavy metal medium (due to lack of sleep I said the challenger used DU :D))

  • @passwordresetisbroke Plus depleted uranium is only porphoric in certain situations from what I have read on uranium porphoricity, otherwise it just forms a layer of reacted uranium when it comes into contact with air. And it isnt flammable in the usual sense of the word to the best of my knowledge.

    Lastly where did you get your info on the rear thickness of an IS-7? Or are you making a plain assumption? If so based on what? The difference between 1020 and 1090 gauge steel isnt that much.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Also before I forget thanks for telling me what syndie is, I have never seen them referred to as that before.

  • @passwordresetisbroke 1020 and 1090 are not gauges thickness, these are nomenclatures for carbon percentage concentration one is .20% the other is .90% more carbon the thougher and stronger steel is. Syndie is for synthetic diamond go check for CHOBHAM armor. DU in fact is very abundant and cheap to collect for "military" purposes only, while tungsten is less abundant expensive, but it is the densest material on earth. Chally 1 used to have crappy DU not the Chally 2 Dorchester level -2 armor.

  • @passwordresetisbroke DU is extremely flammable if it shard or spale under a fast and powerful Kinetic energy medium. DU basically reacts like sharded magnesium under fire or like aluminum Thermite on fire, DU shards when expose to fire, the flames are very very hot and can melt steel, the fumes are very toxic as well when it react to oxygen forming the poisonous Radon gases. A gas form by the decomposition of Uranium under the effects of oxidation.

  • @Nickael7 I know they arent thickness, what do you take me for :D Everything I have seen however points to 1090 only having 20% at most greater performance than 1020, though I will admit I am not versed on the subject.

    Again, depleted uranium is much more expensive than tungsten, a quick google gives prices for tungsten between $30 and $70 per kilo for bulk orders. Unrefined (you are aware of how DU is made no?) uranium is more expensive than that, though I cant find a quick price on google.

  • @passwordresetisbroke (cont.) for DU.

    Also only the shards of du are porphoric, larger peices form a sheen from what I have read. Though I have stated that much already. Lastly when shards of DU get in the tank, yes they are hot and dangerous, but so is the penetrator that just came through, and so would be the shard of tungsten that would enter in the same situation.

    Admitedly, I dont know if the level of toxicity in a tungsten armoured tank when it is penetrated is comparable.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Forgot to add. The one price I could find for DU stated $15 per 5g of material, though I think that was for incredibly small amounts.

  • @passwordresetisbroke I may as well spam as we seem to be the only people replying here :D.

    You stated as a fact that the IS-7 has rear armour thicker than 50mm, and you also stated as a fact that it was using a high quality composite in its armour, and that the 130mm was a superior anti armour weapon to the Kwk 43.

    You never however stated where you got that info from, and I would like to know.

  • @passwordresetisbroke You're wrong again: 1020 is .20% and 1090 is .90% and DU 238 is extremely abundant cheap material from the Yellow cake process the only extremely expensive form of Uranium is 235, which is used in nuclear reactors and is very scarce to form later on Plutonium 239. The 130 Naval gun is more potent due to the fact that is used for greater range and penetration vs. the KWK 43 gun tank. Naval guns are notorious vs. tank guns. Tank guns are not used to pierce, punch, boats.

  • @passwordresetisbroke To my best logic explanation I would say that the rear has a thickness of ~80 to 100mm. And this is for tank armor distribution on IS standards sizes. The IS-7 weight is 68 metric tonnes and 74.8 tons. 130 mm S-70 naval cannon (7020 mm long barrel) with autoloader and stabilizer, infrared night scopes. Thus very accurate, long ranged and powerful.

  • @passwordresetisbroke There are no composite armor in IS-7 @_@ is the alloys of its steel and slopped shape that allowed it to make it strong. I don't thrust any info on this game WoT, unbalanced to the core. IS-7 should be faster, thicker, stronger and faster to shoot 6-8 rounds/min. thanks to autoloader.

  • @Nickael7 You own many tank noobs bro. From the old to the modern ones...

  • @Nickael7 I meant to say alloy not composite in regards to the IS-7, but my brain farted :P You still dont say where you get the info from though?

    Also, I know what the guage means, I TOLD YOU THAT. What I said was everything I have seen stated that it only has around a 20% increase in performance. Though I had done a little more looking around like that and I have seen wildly varying numbers given for the performance of the 2 metals.

    Do you know of a reliable Metallurgical site?

  • @passwordresetisbroke The IS-2 had 30mm of rear hull armour. The IS-3, I am unable to get a number for rear hull, however the IS-3 had 75mm on the turret rear, which is always thicker than the rear hull. So you are basing your assumption on what exactly?

    Also, I cant find a single reference to the S-70? Regardless, a 5" naval gun is designed purely to engage cruisers/frigates, ships which as a norm have 3.5"-4" of armour as a maximum, with high explosive shells.

  • @passwordresetisbroke I cant get any info on the performance of russian 5" naval cannons, however american 5" naval cannons penetrate approximately 170mm of RHA at 1000 yards, I cant imagine russian guns being particularily superior.

    Where do you get the info saying the 130 on the IS 7 is superior to the Kwk 43?

    If you look at the trends of late war Russian heavies though, the 130mm being inferior anti armour is not surprising, as they were primarily an anti entrenched infantry tool.

  • @passwordresetisbroke And lastly U235 is not used to make P239. U238 (depleted uranium to you and me) is bombarded with neutrino radiation, occasionally picking up an extra neutron and becoming P239.

    And lastly, give me a peice of evidence that it is cheap? It certainly isnt "abundant" except when compared to U235.

  • @passwordresetisbroke BTW, Neutrino particle are cosmic particles, Neutrons are natural earth abundant existent particle. DU238 is already natural, but it is not a good fissile product for reactors the Isotopes are way too heavy its a poor material for fission very bad. U235 is the ultimate true enrichment of natural Uranium which is easily fissible later transformed easily in P239.

  • @passwordresetisbroke 1)I assume that the armor distribution on IS-7 is made such way for its massive weight and low profile. 2)I am both mechanical and material engineer, I know pretty much my things. 3) Again you're wrong, U235 is used in reactors to produce later on P239 for bombs as an example. DU238 is the scrap that comes from the process of the yellow cake MOX. Natural uranium is about 99.27% U-238 and 0.72% U-235. Logic question for you: why they don't use tungsten instead ???

  • @Nickael7 1) Is meaningless try again. You said you based your assumption on your assumptions. Do you understand circular logic?

    2) I doubt that.

    3) U238 is used to make P239. Like I said U238 absorbs neutrons, from either a neutron source or as in fission reactors, the neutrons come from the fission of U235. LOOK IT UP.

  • @passwordresetisbroke And I know neutrino radiation isnt neutrons, but I think it sounds better, and quite frankly I have asked you to provide your sources a thousand times in this thread, and you keep replying "No I am right because I know I am right because I know I am right because I know I am right..."

    I have given up any hope of you actually stating anything worthwhile at this point and am mainly pissing around :D

    Or you could put your information sources. We may stop going in circles.

  • @passwordresetisbroke It is impossible to make any real judgement as to why the use of a DU alloy over a tungsten alloy without being involved in the design. Possibly it is because of the difficulty of working with tungsten alloys vs Uranium alloys.

    Again, all I want is evidence, if you give me one peice of evidence that DU is cheaper than tungsten, like I have asked for repeatedly. I will be happy to accept it, I have found no evidence to support that however and opinions are insufficient.

  • @passwordresetisbroke Tungsten is not complicated to work with in fact it is used a lot in aerospace machinings for cutting very hard materials and its very expensive. DU238 is very plentiful in earth crust, much more than you can think. 2) You said that U238 absorbs neutrons @_@ it is a tamper material for nukes there's your simple answer it is not a bomb, but a tamper material like "red mercury" (only Russia has it), "lead" for deflecting the neutron to back-blast fission/fusion matter.

  • @Nickael7 The bigest reason for useing U238 for a bomb tamper is that in the fusion process it becomes fissile and adds to the yeild of the bomb, you get a fission ,fusion ,fission punch unlike if you used lead for a tamper, usualy the whole bomb caseing is made from U238 btw

  • @kamphwagon1 Right ANSWER. Lead was an old method, today is U238 or the controversial -red mercury- an extremely dense matter that act like a "perfect mirror". It is unknown if the substance in question really exist, but it is said by some nuclear physicists like -Samuel Cohen- that is possibly true and probably Russia has it.

    What would be the yield of this "efficient" tamper.

  • @Nickael7 Hmm I would say it would be impossible to tell without a test, if this ''red mercury " is some sort of fissile man made product that would give the 1 2 3 fission fusion fission punch like modern known thermo nuclear wheapons have the, effecency could reach 100 % for the fission fusion stage and the last fusion stage would be gravy like the fusion of U238 , unless it's used as liner,reflector inside the U238 case,and not fissionable, it's hard to say without any atomic #s for it.

  • @kamphwagon1 As for U238, Yes it would be it is prov, but this "red mercury" in question is probably not exactly "mercury", but a new tamper element similar to mercury or gallium with a red texture like copper. It is in liquid form that you could "paint" the interior sphere casing that contains Tritium-Deuterium/Helium bomb. The theorem behind this: is that "red mercury" allows you to build smaller thermonuclear devices vs. heavy U238 that can fit in a suitcase !?! Like some scientist had said ?

  • @Nickael7 No doubt it would allow for a smaller size package for a given yeild , most likley increaseing effecincy in both the primary and secondary , in the case of a suitcase sized bomb that a person would be able to carry where weight limitations are more of a constraint one could easyly use reflective coating on a steel caseing ,but you would loose the 3rd fission stage punch . But considering the possible increase in effecency the 3rd stage could be omited.

  • @kamphwagon1 This has to be studied further. Because not all matters could reflect neutron efficiently for a short package. The 1 million dollar question is what is exactly this "red mercury" matter, does it really exist, does it react like a mirror made of regular mercury paint that reflects photons with extreme efficiency ? In this case, "red mercury" would be the "excellent mirror" of Neutrons ??? If it exist why the "red" pigmentation, how it is process, is it a heavy mercury isotope, etc ?

  • @Nickael7 LOL ,not being privy to bomb secrets I can't realy say except if it does actually exist it's a manufactured product from a reactor , a isotope as you suggest and may not be a mercury derivitive at all it's hard to put a finger on something thats a closely guarded secret , unless by some instance you happen to gusse the right theroy like radiation implodeing the secondary , that caused a furior here in the US by the DOE & DOD
