The PaK 40 was one of the most successful German anti-tank gun designs of World War Two. The first pre-production models entered service on the eastern front in November 1941 and from 1942 they were used on all fronts in large numbers.

Both PaK38 and PaK40 stayed in Finnish Army inventory until mid-1980s. High quality guns indeed.
Tenavatuokio why? They can’t do anything to a modern tank right?
@@crunch9876 Not effective against modern tanks. However they were considered to be effective against [Russian] armoured vehicles of 1980s. As I wrote these guns were decommissioned over 30 years ago.
@@crunch9876 It's the stationary nature of anti tank guns more than their raw firepower that made them obsolete when good ATGMs came around. Most military armored vehicles aren't tanks. A modern MBT would bounce those rounds all day long, but lighter IFVs and transports would still take serious damage from a few hits from a PaK 40, especially in an ambush scenario. Weapons like the Javelin, ERYX, or Kornet are exponentially more mobile, far deadlier to armor than a towed direct fire cannon. Anyone trying to operate a stationary cannon on a modern battlefield is going to die very quickly because they can't move after taking a shot.
To be fair a lot of Cold War Tank and Armored Car Designs, including even some MBT, had weaker armor against kinetic rounds than a lot of WW2 tanks. It still stayed relevant and the Israeli Army also used improved WW2 tanks right into the 70s or even 80s.

the 37mm was extremely effective in the early war, it was used to support inf later in the war, able to destroy any recon vehicle, light tanks and to have and extra defence since it was a very light gun
Yeah also most of French and British tanks were light tanks like Panzer II and Germans destroyed thousands of them with their Pak 36s.

Talk about the First Indochina War
@Hideika The first indochina war is commonly reffered to as the war from 1946 to 1954 and as BF5 takes place in WW2 we will most likely not see it. There was some fighting in indochina in WW2 between Japan and France but it was a very small theatre of war with little importance.
T. G. Actually the french ceded indochina to the Japanese, also there was a huge fight between British Malaysia and the Raj vs the japanese and the kingdom of siam
@@rafaelcanovas3921 Yes, but that was not my Point. My point was, what we call infochina war is the time from 1946 on so it won't be featured in BF5.
@Hideika Fair enough
@Hideika WW 1 1914-1918. Russian Revolution 1917. As you can see it makes a lot of sense to put the Russian Revolution into Battlefield one, whereas the Indochina war happend in a different time period than Battlefield 5.

37mm PaK was sometimes called the Heeresanklopfgerät (army knock-knock device) because it wasn't capable of penetrating modern tanks. It was more like politely knocking on the door of a tank, asking the crew if they were in the mood for tea.
İt was very good at penetrating armor of French and Russian light tanks such as R-35,H-35,T-26 and BT-5/7.But yeah it was just inefficient against British Matildas,French B-1/S-35 and Russian T-34 and KV-1s.Germans mostly used PAK 38 or Flak 88 to destroy T-34 and KV-1s in 1941.
The 75mm may have passed straight through tanks without causing damage,

The Pak 40 was also used in L/43 and L/48 lengths by Panzer IV and Sturmgeschutz tanks, designated as the KwK 40. (Kampfwagenkanone 40).
Look at that animation at 1:59 Your animations are getting finer everytime
An episode on the 6 and 17 pounder guns would be great!
The British had some of the best anti tank guns of the war.
17 Pounder was only best with his APDS round which was rare in use.I would chose 75mm Kwk 42 and 88mm KwK 36/43/Flak any day.Also British projectiles didn't have explosive mass.They simply just designed for armor piercing.
In RLF: pak to tank very overpower
In BFV: pak need shoot 10 ammo to kill Sherman from back
I love German Technology and engineering. And if you just look up a video of the Pak 40 Firing, That thing is no joke! 😆 it’s so much kick and firepower it’s insane. ❤️👌

We got training with all these antitank guns when doing our milservice in Norhern Brigade autumn 1958! PstK/75/42 was very heavy in snowy forests drowen by Mercedes land cruisers called Unimogs.

Can you do a BMW druing ww2 video?
They made various engines like the BMW 003 turbo jet engines for the He-162 jet and piston engines like the BMW 801 used in the FW 190 and JU-88 they also manufactured multiple ground vehicles like motorcycles with sidecars like the BMW R71, but this is not the only modern car manufacturer that also had a role in WWII, Rolls-Royce also developed engines for aircraft for the allies like the Merlin engines used on the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster and other aircraft, but these 2 are only examples there more companies that also made other things, like Ferdinand Porsche himself designed the Ferdinand Porsche Tank destroyer, Tiger Porsche Heavy Tank and Maus Super Heavy Tank, Hugo Boss made the SS uniforms, and there's a lot more but I'm not gonna fill this reply with all of them, it would be nice to see a video by simple history talking about all these modern brands we all know and their history in WWII, but this would probably be split into a couple of videos cuz there are a few :)
Probably an amazing gun, but I don't wanna imagine what it did to the target (containing human crew)...

Instead he went on patrol to redeam himself and behind enemy lines with his superior and was awarded the iron cross.

Most People go to say that the 88mm was the Best AT of the war.
But thats not right, the most successeful AT gun of WW2 was the Pak 40.
The 88mm,was used as a multi roled weapon, and was Deadly effective against tanks either.
But the Pak 40 only purpose, was the AT role, and They ruled supreme until the end of the war.
And their were half of the weight of the British 17 pounder.
Yeah,88 always overshadowed German 75 during the war.Flak 88 overshadowed PaK 40,88mm Kwk 36,main gun of Tiger I, overshadowed 75mm KwK 40 and KwK 42(strange since long 75 had better performance)
I love how you use both measurements.
Great video!

Could you do the British QF 17-Pounder anti tank gun next pleaaaassseee??
The animation is getting better and better, keep the good work!
Using what I know of german, Panzerabwehrkanone (PAK) means CANON that provides DEFENSE against TANKS. I don’t really know how to say it better but here it is:
Panzer: that has thick armour; it’s and adjective.
Abwehr: defense.
Kanone: Canon, what else could it be?
-The “panzer” could be used in the word PAK meaning that this canon has thick armour, though it is unlikely as the jerries called thanks as Panzers. So panzer in PAK probably means tank.
It's funny when he says the german words 😂

Best standard anti-tank gun of WW2. It could frontally penetrate nearly all Allied tanks at range, while being light enough to man-handle and easily conceal.
QF 17 Pounder was good too.
War Thunder? Realistic?
*Laughing intensifies*
More realistic than WoT or Armored Warfare at least though.
Not that it is any good comparison. :D
Apart from some tweaks they took the liberty of making (terrible in my opinion) it's very realistic.
It'd be better if you didn't have medium tanks from the 40's fighting 60's main battle tanks
When an anti tank gun become a tank gun
An antiair gun became a tank cannon (88mm)
CipiRipi00 The best anti-tank is planes :)
CipiRipi00 Actually, the #1 counter to tank in the modern era is planes. It’s just that most wars in modern era don’t have both sides that can afford tanks and planes to fight each other.
CipiRipi00 Back to WW2, look at how the Stuka and IL-2 (and later the P-47 with anti-ground rockets) decimated tanks.
Edit: Also should include the ME109, Hurricane and Typhoon planes.
CipiRipi00 Well put. I still wish to have seen what mass Stukas could have done with air superiority versus tanks, the divebomb techniques of the Stuka were the closest thing they had to pinpoint accuracy... far more precise compared to the P-47 who basically rolled a dice when it came to using their rockets.
That's my friend, we were together in the war, we still chill right now, penetrating Matildas.
