    imagine if you were in the museum and weren't aware they were filming inside the tank, youre standing infront of a 152mm howitzer with your family, and it just starts slowly traversing towards you...

    The speedometer is there for the commander to navigate(measure distances they have traveled). For example, if he gets the order to advance 35 kilometers to the West. So, if they are going 15km/h, he will need to travel for about 2 hours and 20 minutes to get there. He would, of course, look for the changes in speed and adjust if needed.

    Could you imagine an ISU-152 loader in any other tank? Put 'em in a T34-85 and the enemy tanks would think they've got an auto cannon. I bet those loaders were shredded beyond belief.

      Well you aren't gonna be too badly affected really. All the bast energy is directed away from the crew, towards the enemy. The worst you would get is the vibration throughout the tank as the howitzer fires

  • @justforever96
    @justforever96 4 года назад +25

    Yeah, I don't see the low ammo capacity as a flaw. People want to think of this thing as a big beastly tank killer roaming the battlefield, blasting enemy tanks apart, but it's not. It's actually just a self-propelled artillery piece, which is armored enough to withstand enemy fire if it needs to get close to destroy a target. On a typical artillery gun, they don't carry all their ammo around strapped to the gun carriage. They might have a dozen rounds or so in a limber, but mostly they rely on having ammo vehicles to bring them up more ammo. Firing a dozen rounds from a large artillery piece is a big deal. The average piece averages maybe 5 or 6 shells per day. You want to make them count. The idea behind the ISU-152 is to identify a target, and send 2 or 3 ISUs in to engage it and destroy it. If you can't destroy it with the 40 or 60 rounds between them, then it's time to fall back and rethink your approach. If you are in battle and you somehow manage to use all 23 huge rounds up on 23 appropriate targets, you've had a successful day anyway, and it's time to send the depleted vehicle to the rear to restock on ammo. Often they would be set up just like any other artillery piece, firing indirect. That's why the ISU and SU )both 152 and 122) carried typical artillery bearing stakes. You'd park your battery of ISUs in a nice protected place, and set the stakes up in front of each marking bearings for firing coordinates. Then you'd use them like any other artillery piece, firing by coordinates by aiming at the appropriate bearing between the appropriate stakes, and dialling in the elevation on the indirect firing sight. Just like any artillery piece, the ammo would be brought to you as you used it. This was the most common employment for these guns. They were just more mobile artillery pieces that protected their gunners from counterbattery fire better than normal pieces did. They were capable of being moved right up to the front line to engage targets in an assault, but this was less common. They were not sent out to range around the battlefield blasting stuff. Real warfare doesn't much resemble gameplay in WOT, sorry to say. So instead of comparing it with "other tanks" and saying how much ammo it lacks, it's better to compare it to other artillery pieces, and say how great it was that it's not only self mobile and doesn't need to be hooked to a truck or horses, but it also provides a mobile bunker to protect the gun crew, AND it carries around enough ammo with it for a decent typical day of engaging targets. Not bad.
    It's much like Stugs and other machines like them: everyone is always comparing them to tanks and complaining about how badly they stack up. They say they aren't protected well enough, etc. But in reality, they are just mobile AT guns. If crews can go out with totally unprotected artillery pieces and destroy tanks with them (AT guns were the real killers of tanks in WW2), then a self-propelled, armored AT gun is an IMPROVEMENT. It's not a tank, so stop comparing them. If most AT gun crews managed to survive in spite of having no armor protection at all, and needing to call in horses or trucks to hook up and tow them away under fire, then surely a Stug is perfectly sufficient.

    One of the first 1/72nd scale models I ever built. Always been fascinated by this thing, and of course the SU-152. I figured you REALLY mustn't like something if you were going to roll one of these up and point that monstrous barrel at it. Thus started my lifelong interest in Russian history generally and the Soviet experience of WW2 in particular.
    Would love to get to Kubinka some day although I suspect that won't happen. So many vehicles I've encountered in so many books over decades.

      It's entirely an advertisement for the game so thats why they do that. They're not here to make a video about a tank(this case a armored assault gun) for educational purposes but to bring to your attention W.o.T. The T rating will also serve to convince any uptight parents (sentence brings back memories of parents refusing to sign sex Ed forms for school and I was put into another classroom while everyone asked if I was Amish or a Mormon).

    I'm curious about the 152mm HE shells hitting another tank without penetrating. Would the shock wave kill the crew? Knock the crew unconscious? Pop their ear drums, sever the cornea in the eyes, yet still be aware and oriented enough to keep fighting?!?

    • @rodjarrow6575
      @rodjarrow6575 7 лет назад +7

      A hit from a 152 mm howitzer shell, eventually the tank gets the Offset in mechanisms (as well as the knockout in Boxing, without breaking through the inside of the skull"), making the tank useless on the battlefield. For example, the Impact of 152 mm projectile demolish the tower with the cannon in the tank Panther.

      Ever watch Snooker (or Pool)?
      Imagine at break, your shot hits the first red ball, then see the effect to what happens to all the balls behind it
      Now imagine it happening with the actual power of the 6" HE shell as the cue ball, the turret armor as the first red ball and everything bolted to the inside of the turret as all the balls behind it
      These things will start flying through the turret with deadly speed and power
      (not to mention pieces of metal that break loose on the inside of the turret walls from the shockwave)

    I saw a WW2 picture of a Panther cupola hit by an ISU-152. The front was completely obliterated and a chunky paste scattered around the outside-the remains of the commander. I could imagine just the shockwave jellifying anything soft.

    Shame the Germans haven't built "something similar" with the 150 mm gun of the Bismarck-class battleship secondary armament, I think the Maus should have come with the 150 mm (>6-inch), the 128 mm (

      No they mounted one for testing. Darn think nearly blow itself to pieces. It damaged the suspension and rattled the crew compartment something awful. They quickly scrapped the project.

    A Panther's wheels are symmetrical. That's why they use the for and aft facing control arms on either side.

    nicknamed the beast kill by the russians since it could kill any german tank...panther or tiger 1&2...but that assault gun is a beast in it's self. the 152mm HE round was enough to blow off the turret off a tiger and therefore the AP round and penetration was unnecessary. imagine what it could do to a sherman.
