Equivalent of a frame off restoration of a car.

wow that has never been done before. i think there are about 100 M4A2's here in europe that are like new. if it was a tank from the german army from ww2 i would think it was great. because there are only a handful of them left.

so like the "Great Toyota War", where Chad beat Libya using Toyota pickups mounted with antitank missiles

The National Guard unit, or perhaps Army Reserve stored one of these in a huge contractor's warehouse next to a creek going through a marshy spot of gravel bars by my boyhood home. The unit would take it out and drive over the area doing all manner of equipment drills . It was exciting stuff to a small boy in 1960, even better, the scorpion was almost kid sized. Later in 1970 In Vietnam encountered a Sheridan, it was not a tank but rather a tracked vehicle which carried a 152mm cannon capable of firing a rocket round besides a selection of standard shells. The hull was of styrofoam filled aluminum sheet which quite often was sliced through by the fence stakes when negotiating concertina razor wire.

There’s one I’m guessing in parts shape but has outer shell and tracks in place at the parking lot if the army navy store in Roswell NM

Please mark NSFW for naked sherman.

It was at this moment he knew he f up😂

I Heate this thing aspecialy in games as War Thunder :/

There is both a Scorpion and a Sheridan at the 82 Airborne museum on Ft. Bragg.

Wait the Leopard 1 is slower than M113? Didn't expect that

😂

😂😂😂😂

'You are fast but not faster than my APFSDS round '

I think the "Priest" name was British. They applied ecclesiastical names to self-propelled guns, the other one that comes to mind was the Sexton.

The British version of a similar vehicles, known as Sexton, carried a 25pdr in place of the 105mm, and lacked the "pulpit", and were similarly based on a Sherman chassis iirc.

Wouldn’t the recoil of the gun result in cumulative brain injury? It seems like you’d eventually not fire it unless it was absolutely necessary.

As a much more recently member of The Heard, it warmed my cockles to know we used this awesome piece of kit to effect during Nam.

Looks so thin, like it’d give that wobbly sheet metal sound when I press on it

Do you have the M4A3 (105)?

Pretty little machine ! The answer to a question that was never asked. - Did it win the war in Vietnam or even help ? Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.

Another Scorpion from the Vietnam War was the Australian M113A1 MRV Scorpion, mounting the 76mm turret from the British FV101 Scorpion light tank.

There is one in excellent condition, on display outside the VFW Post in Duluth, Georgia.

War thunder needs these documents

The 551 was a piece of crap, with an ineffective gun.

The Sheridan tank was one of the first to use special alloy aluminum armor. The main gun was more suited to rocket propelled rounds. It was specitically designed to be air transportable. Some of them participated in the first Gulf War, when the USA was building up its forces; they were some of the first fighting vehicles in that theatre

Anti tank gunnery is literally a "do or die" activity. Small, precision guided munitions are a far better choice.

The M551s were not well protected. RPGs blew them to pieces.

That's a project I would love to be involved with! 😊 do her right, guys!

y

the amewrican soldier didnt lose vietnam, the american politicians lost vietnam.

Doo Boys ? WTF

The NNMV is an outstanding museum, the displays are second to none. Well worth a visit.

And that’s how the APC was born!

never showed the real magic: the hull.

Fought the wrong people! Such a damn shame!! Stop viewing, and playing, anti German propaganda!

Dang, so the M18 was 15 tons lighter than a Sherman! Wow!

Thank you for your service and our freedoms, be blessed, there are good thinkers out there ,adapt and make it work . Common sense is a good thing

The Defrocked Priests made an appearance in Call of Duty 3, also being used by Canadians in Operation Totalize. That's how I found out about them.

Fun fact, they started out using big trucks, it wasn't til later in the war they got the jeeps, and quickly found out they needed to be modified, by adding over flow tanks to the radiators. Big thanks to the lrdg, that's why we have those on our cars.

😮👍👍

Excellent video. Thanks very much.

Subscribed… really enjoyed your presentation and the information provided Andy 🇬🇧

rat 🐀

I want one

Work smarter. Not harder

Can't wait to come back with the rest of my grandkids. Most awesome display of American vehicles in the world, in my humble opinion. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Rides like a caddy

A Polaris RZR could basically do the same thing

I’ve wanted a tank since I was a child

Use a torch to clean out the oil form the impurity holes that section would have been significant easier to penetrate due to the imperfections not that they had good armor to start with
