BT Series Fast Tank: The Dual-Mode Weapon
The BT series fast tank, with its dual-use structure of wheels and tracks, was an important development in tank technology before World War II. However, the process of switching between track and tire driving modes was complex and time-consuming, and the tank's ability to run faster with broken tracks was mostly just a topic of interest for military enthusiasts, as it did not prove to be helpful in actual battles.
The dual-use structure of the BT series tank was a product of the constraints of tank technology at the time, but with the rapid advancement of tank technology during World War II, the dual-use structure became unnecessary and unreliable, and the tank's cool ability to run faster...

Просмотров 5836 месяцев назад
The United States developed the T40 tank destroyer during World War II, using the chassis of the M3 medium tank and the M1918 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun. However, due to limited production resources and the emergence of tank destroyers with rotating turrets, the T40 project was ultimately terminated and did not see mass deployment on the battlefield.

      Well now self propelled artillery is only close to tanks in appearance, and if you talk about recon vehicles as tanks that would be the same as calling a fucking humvee a tank because it has a turret on top. Of course tanks can do recon, with many light tanks used in that role. Assault guns could have a point, germany did have a lot of them and some were very effective, but even still their production numbers were not even close to soviet, let alone allied totals.

    This video presents so much false information that it should be deleted! Comments and Corrections: (1) The L-5 was widely used in the European and Asian theaters as well as in the Pacific theater of war. (2) It was nicknamed "Flying Jeep", not "Air Jeep" (3) "This aircraft did not look handsome..." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and many would disagree. (4) "... and did not appear on the front lines, so not many people knew about it" That is a completely FALSE statement! (5) The U.S. military took note of the Fieseler Storch in 1937 and initiated the development of a similar aircraft more than six months before the Sorch was demonstrated at the Cleveland Air Races. (6) The performance of the Stinson L-1 did NOT lag behind the German Fi-156 Storch. The reason why the L-2, L-3 and L-4 were adopted was low cost. The reason why the L-5 was adopted was better performance and stronger construction than those three types, and it was 1/3 the cost of an L-1. (7) The YO-54 was a stock civilian Stinson Model 10. While six were procured by the U.S. military in 1940 (not 1942), they were deemed unsuitable for Army liaison work during field testing and were thoroughly rejected. They had nothing at all to do with the development of the L-5 which first flew as the Stinson Model 76 in June 1941. THERE WAS NO CIVILIAN VERSION. (8) The L-5 has a conventional (tailwheel) landing gear, not a "tricycle" type that utilizes a nosewheel. (9) The ambulance version with the enlarged fuselage began production in June 1944 as the L-5B. All subsequent models (C, E, and G) were also ambulance versions. (10) The aircraft was powered by a Lycoming O-435, not an O-453. (11) There was no L-5A. It was a proposed variant that was never produced. (12) The maximum speed of the 185 hp L-5 in level flight is 205 kph, not 169, which is the normal cruising speed. The only subsequent model with more horsepower was the L-5G with 190 hp which did not have a faster climb rate or cruise speed. (13) The wingspan is 10.7 meters, not 10 meters. (14) The L-5 was not developed into a reconnaissance aircraft or a glider. Only a small number were equipped with skis and pontoons. (15) The L-5 and its variants were not used by the U.S. Navy until after WWII and it was not used for maritime patrols along the east coast of the United States. It did not participate in anti-submarine work and was not equipped with 100# bombs. The scriptwriter has confused the Stinson L-5 with the Stinson 10A Voyager - a completely different aircraft! The 10As used for coastal patrol did not sink any submarines (16) The L-5 was used extensively in the China-Burma-India theater (CBI) to support Chinese and British Commonwealth ground troops. not the Chinese Air Force, which effectively did not exist because it was destroyed by the Japanese before America entered the war. SUMMARY - EPIC FAIL!

    CAC would have had more lucky getting a powerplant out of the Axis. The airframe was ready a long time before the war ended. The project was getting screwed around on the engine and that pushed things out until 1946 before it took to the air. Should have sacrificed a few of those Mustangs for the Merlin and Allison engines and got the CA15 into the air sooner.

    I just got this on Warthunder and it is a shame that so many armoured vehicles of the Eastern Front are overlooked because they seem to have had many interesting designs. For a scouting role, this seems like a good choice though just two crew members means that is a hell of an overworked sod in the turret. Three man would have been better so someone could operate the radio while the commander directs the driver, preferably avoiding a fight.

"With the maturity of the Soviet, five pair of road wheels the QF20 under gun eventually weakened a bit"! WTF is that supposed to mean? This is a shocking video. Absolutely appalling. And L7 WAS NOT "developed from the QF20 pounder": it was designed to use the same mountings to facilitate retrofit into existing tanks (i.e. Centurion).

      Ever seen most of Sweden? Most of Sweden is deep forests with brooks, rivers and mires everywhere. Very wet during springtime and autum (and many summers too) and easily up to a meter in snow (if not more) in the winter. Sure there are roads, and very good roads at that, but they are comparably few and the good roads will most likely be bombed to bits very quickly. Most roads in the very extensive road-network all over the country however are small and narrow back roads, often made out of dirt. It aint what most people drive cars on everyday but there are much more of these types of roads (often made for the forest industry or farm industry or are remnants of older roads) criss crossning the country side then good roads. Usually you do not want to drive more then 70km/h on these back roads so higher speeds is redundant, but they are perfect for hit-and-run-tactics with shoot-and-scoot missions just because they are just about everywhere. However they can often be very poorly maintained (or maintained when they are about to be used) and at times you can suddenly facing the fact that the springflood swept the road away and has not been fixed (because it is 30 years until the forest in that section of the endless woods shall be harvested, or what not). Or just a tree that have fallen over the road. Or a unplowed road in the middle of the winter. You will for certain get stuck with a truck in these conditions. However these articulated 6 wheelers are not only used as heavy haulers within construction and mining but this design was also used for a very long time for forwarders within the forest industry (the machines that fetch the timber the harvesters cut down and haul it, through roadless land, to the extraction point along a road somewhere where the timber trucks are able to load it up and transport it along roads to further processing) and can overcome most what is thrown at their wheels. It is a tried and tested design made to work in harsh conditions. However the main advantage of this design are their flexibility. They can easily go quite quickly by road, but they can also traverse roadless deep forest without any problems if that is nessecery, without any modifications. Sure you a bit faster in a truck if you drive on a big nice road (aka perfect conditions) but outside of that this articulated design is way better. And lets face it, war usually are not waged in perfect conditions, ever. Modern or not
