I'd say it's the first time the German's used the flamethrower, you either burn alive or run out of the trench to get melted by artillery, rifle, and\or machinegun fire.
@@damienhyde2738 Maybe you're right, flamethrower guys were scary also, but they could be shot and killed, if this tank rolled up on you in the battlefield, you couldn't combat it, cause most armies didn't have RPGs or Anti-tank weapons back then.
Yikes pretty sure it was mustard gas, both because it was invisible and bc the Gas Masks didnt work on it, and the fear of your lungs being covered in blisters and your eyes crying themselves blind in minutes while you had no way to forsee it mustve been pretty scary
There’s something strange and magnificent at the same time to see this ancient machine of War in the streets of modern London. A relic from over 100 years ago rolling along as it’s being admired by on lookers, and 100 years ago the very noise and sight of this machine struck terror into the souls of the soldiers up against it. A machine of chaos from a dark era in human history now just casually strolling the peaceful streets of London.
You could say it's rather romantic. The idea of younger eyes looking upon this machine as a majestic beast from the distant past, while those of the past looked upon it with horror as a revolutionary weapon of the future.
just a century ago these metal monsters were manned by a crew crawling around in a hell on earth killing soldiers left and right. now its living in the place it fought for. well i mean its a replica but still, poetic
When we are driving tank, 1. We hear "A Tank hunter kit is available near your location" 2. Watch map 3. search the location of tank hunter kit 4. You found the tank hunter kit is disappeared TANK HUNTER: OMA-E WA MO SHIN DE EI RU YOU: NA NIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
I can't help but just love that "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" noise it makes when driving, that thing would be so terrifying to hear out in the battlefield, yet so awesome to hear on display.
laz w Well, the artillery would stop when the tanks and the infantry are charging to the enemy line. After all, you don’t want to accidentally hit your own.
This is where everything came from. The Abrams, T-14 Armada, Leopard 2A...it all started a 100 years ago from a multi-ton bucket and a few gears to break the stalemate. Absolutely amazing!
Actually even though this line of tanks was the first proper tanks to see combat the idea of tanks was not new and the actual design of almost all modern tanks and tanks after ww1 comes from the French Renault FT as this tank introduced the idea of the seperate sections of a tank with the gunnery section (turret) drivers cab at the front and engine in the back. The turret was also first put into use with this tank because tanks at the time were also known as land ships and this is what designers tried to make that is why the turret section is the way it is because that was a common way of putting guns on a light ship or converted ship it also stayed in touch with the line of battle style of naval warfare which had been in use for so long but this was what the MK1, 2, 3, 4 and five were supposed to resemble a light ship just adapted for lighter ground combat but the FT also helped designers use angled armour which is much more effective than straight amour because a shell or bullet has to travel through a larger area or amour and is more likely to just bounce off.
@@REEbott86 no, these were the first proper tanks, they literally defined the word "tank". You wouldn't say a casemate isnt a tank , and the mk4 is a casemate.

polygamous1 Sozou I know if I was a German during WW1 and I saw that thing coming at me I'd have already shit myself 50 times before my hands even got in the air
My Great Grandfather was in the Trenches in the war. It was so secret it scared him as they went over the top of the trenches. He had never seen anything like it. While he died some 13 or so years before I was born my Dad passed the story down.
This is amazing. My great uncle was a corps commander in WW1 and was at Gallipoli first then Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Messines Ridge and the Somme. When these machines first went into action there were a number of mechanical breakdowns and carbon monoxide poisoning must have been an equally ghastly issue to have to face.
Well, no. I get the point, however by the tenth or so encounter, they’d probably not be quite as scared. (I say tenth because the information about captured examples from the broken down ones would probably give the infantrymen a bit more security in the fact that they can actually get through the armor by the time it got to them)

Incrível demais! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Imagine um soldado inimigo vendo pela primeira vez essa máquina assustadora se aproximando, devagar, mas sempre se aproximando de sua trincheira.. 😮
It actually could it was made from a tractor the tractor was actually the first tank it had only machine guns and would always get bogged down due to the weight and lack of horsepower it was called "little willy"
Assuming you were fighting as part of a group and were attacked by just ONE of these your chances would actually pretty good for survival. It can't shoot directly into the trench unless it rides over it and that means it's incredibly vulnerable to attacks from underneath. It got stuck a lot and it was choking the people who operated it with fumes that would potentially kill them if they stayed inside for any longer than a half hour. It was really only useful in large numbers and when the infantry it was attacking had no explosives, mines or anti tank weapons.
I love how cute the squeaking sounds today and how goofy it looks when it turns but back then in the trenches the dreadful sounds of metal clashing together and squeaking, then you come back up to fathom what sounds you have heard and just see a massive piece of metal before your fate is sealed
Can you imagine being a German in a trench and hearing that clanging just getting closer and closer with each minute and knowing there’s not a damn thing you can do about it?
GamePlayWithNolan I'm fairly certain the exhaust was not going directly into where the crew was. They'd literally all be dead in minutes and the tanks wouldn't have been used because they'd kill more of their own guys than the enemy's.
Kinda a crazy idea how it balances on a few inches of tread to be balanced to crawl over trenches. Adding in side guns to shoot down the trenches is also a good idea. Amazing how digging ditches to shelter troops was such an important, yet simple thing. Even war machines were built around it
For rare occasions, it's fine. This tank is also not that big. Looks like it's mainly scratching the pavement when going straight, which you can do with a small rock aswell. It goes away after some rain. Bigger tanks with larger tracks can cause problems. I went to a small school very close to an army base. We would see plenty of Leopard tanks roll by daily to go into the forest, until it became illegal because they were literally ripping the pavement apart by continuously rolling up and down that stretch of road.
I mean...they fought in urban and rural environments so they kinda drove over everything, dirt, gravel, road, some poor Germans that just didn’t run fast enough
MK IV:they’ll still be using me 100 years pass by MK IV: *wakes up from engine start*finally! After 100 yrs I am back and now in the 20th century:)! Thank god they kept me there for years
Fun fact: that tank would be a grandfather because during ww1 and the interwar period tanks had genders. A female tank was called a tankette and only has machine guns while the male variant needs a cannon with machine guns being optional
It still would be now. Give the gunners some 6# and .303 rounds and you'll see how quick the crowd scatters. Good luck to the poor critter if someone finds a Ma-Deuce though.
As someone who drives heavy tracked machinery, it makes me cringe when people stand too close around the tank! It's a wonderful thing to behold though.
As a german I wonder what my great or great-great grandpas felt like seeing a tank. I don't know if they served in WW1 or where since I sadly don't know much about them in the war, just after the war. I live in north germany, eastern frisia where my mothers family always lived. After the war, when supplies where short all over germany, he would ride his bicycle to Emden (it was a bike with a load area) and buy goods, ride back home and sell it in his village, with that stopping the hunger in his area. He wouldn't even sell it expensive but at reasonable prices so he could buy new supplies at Emdens harbour. The shop he sold it in was famous in my region and was held up until the 80s when my grandfather sadly died, my grandmother couldn't keep it up alone anymore and my aunt who inherited the house and Shop didn't continue it
@Adam Arki no, sadly not. My grandmother closed it because she couldn't handle it alone and my aunt wouldn't help her with it. My grandmother sadly died in 1996 (4 years before I was born) and my aunt inherited the house and shop but didn't reopen it Told so at the end of my original comment too
@Adam Arki I never asked her because it's not my Business. She always Was different than my mother and other aunt. She was the black sheep of the family, always provoking for no reason. Still is doing it to my mother

No doubt a masterpiece in its days
polygamous1 Sozou I know if I was a German during WW1 and I saw that thing coming at me I'd have already shit myself 50 times before my hands even got in the air
My Great Grandfather was in the Trenches in the war. It was so secret it scared him as they went over the top of the trenches. He had never seen anything like it. While he died some 13 or so years before I was born my Dad passed the story down.
polygamous1 Sozou masterpiece but not reliable
Also a deadly piece of shit that regularly became a giant steel coffin for the poor bastards manning it.
polygamous1 Sozou still a masterpiece these days
This is amazing. My great uncle was a corps commander in WW1 and was at Gallipoli first then Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Messines Ridge and the Somme. When these machines first went into action there were a number of mechanical breakdowns and carbon monoxide poisoning must
have been an equally ghastly issue to have to face.

Thankfull for BF1, i know how to gracefully enter that tank :3
Instead of teleporting into it like in BF4 tanks? Teleporting is graceful in some respects I find.
What run on the roof and jump into one of the many hatches
Why you doing this?
In bf1 you use a mark v tank,always.But you can enter through the sponsons on both.
That moment you realize its going full speed.
Yeah. Imagine it in the battlefield plus the mud.
Faster than fast, quicker than quick. He. Is. Lightening 😂
Probably not full speed, they wouldn't want to break it
@Dapperfield
It’s full speed is 4 mph
Imagine the fear seeing something like this ripping up the barbed wire defence n bullets just bouncing off it..
Hans, get the tankgehwer m1918
Then it got stuck in some mud.
Uh, a standard Gewehr’s round could actually go through it’s frontal armor in a few places.
Jake 914 Yeah, but they didn’t know that when they first saw it did they?
Well, no. I get the point, however by the tenth or so encounter, they’d probably not be quite as scared. (I say tenth because the information about captured examples from the broken down ones would probably give the infantrymen a bit more security in the fact that they can actually get through the armor by the time it got to them)
I don't want to imagine what the soldiers felt when they heard this tank approaching
Imagine being in a trench and that absolute unit rolls over your head out of complete blue.

@Revotry Tankception
It's a replica
If I saw this shit rolling at me 100 years ago you woulda bet my ass would be gone.
Assuming you were fighting as part of a group and were attacked by just ONE of these your chances would actually pretty good for survival. It can't shoot directly into the trench unless it rides over it and that means it's incredibly vulnerable to attacks from underneath. It got stuck a lot and it was choking the people who operated it with fumes that would potentially kill them if they stayed inside for any longer than a half hour.
It was really only useful in large numbers and when the infantry it was attacking had no explosives, mines or anti tank weapons.
Yea but it's scary af
BF: One be like: "It should drive like a dune buggy!"
I love how cute the squeaking sounds today and how goofy it looks when it turns but back then in the trenches the dreadful sounds of metal clashing together and squeaking, then you come back up to fathom what sounds you have heard and just see a massive piece of metal before your fate is sealed
This gave me chills. The history behind this one machine and the things this machine fought in.
Too bad nobody did an Indiana Jones skit.
What if the tank driver “Accidentally” shot the crowd.
Damn you can’t take a joke
No way it's will happening

Imagine how hot that was! There was no exhaust on the original so the crew inhaled the fumes.
GamePlayWithNolan I'm fairly certain the exhaust was not going directly into where the crew was. They'd literally all be dead in minutes and the tanks wouldn't have been used because they'd kill more of their own guys than the enemy's.
It was, look up pictures of the inside.
Comrade He's right, have a quick browse online
how the fuck did they not die?
A lot of them did die from it, they just had to not use it for long periods of time.
Just a very crude and sinister vehicle. I get a chill looking at it.
"I SMELL JERRYS."
"Those damn Jerry's!"
Kinda a crazy idea how it balances on a few inches of tread to be balanced to crawl over trenches. Adding in side guns to shoot down the trenches is also a good idea. Amazing how digging ditches to shelter troops was such an important, yet simple thing. Even war machines were built around it
Looks at this absolute behemoth of a thing. Cant believe they were building these things over 100 years ago
Just to see one of these beautiful beasts actually still operational is so sweet
It's nice to see the same type of tank driving, but sadly it's not an original one but rather a replica
" *oops. The tank misfired, sir. killing multiples.* "

Joshua Lemos history is literally making a mark on the world. Just imagine seeing those things in the streets of London 100 years ago.
For rare occasions, it's fine. This tank is also not that big. Looks like it's mainly scratching the pavement when going straight, which you can do with a small rock aswell. It goes away after some rain. Bigger tanks with larger tracks can cause problems. I went to a small school very close to an army base. We would see plenty of Leopard tanks roll by daily to go into the forest, until it became illegal because they were literally ripping the pavement apart by continuously rolling up and down that stretch of road.
We did it boys,We arrived at Christmas!
When a century old hunk of metal outlasts modern "luxury" cars and still able to run.
I adore that it sounds like an oil barrel rolling around.
All those people watching it happen on a 4" phone screen instead of just living and appreciating the moment.
Imagine being a German trench soldier and you look at the battlefield and see this coming towards you...
"BIG BRUTE"
What a perfect name for a tank lol
Not really. I didn't really realize just how small the MKIV was. It's a little guy compared to modern AFVs.

Fun fact: that tank would be a grandfather because during ww1 and the interwar period tanks had genders. A female tank was called a tankette and only has machine guns while the male variant needs a cannon with machine guns being optional
Imagine not knowing these things exist and seeing it charging at you from your dirty ass trench
Grandpa the war finish 100 years ago stop
What a beautiful peace of engineering, ahead of the times!
It might seem kinda silly now but back then it must’ve been pants-shitting levels of terrifying.
Imagine a line of these progressing toward your trench and every thing you've thrown at them hasn't stopped them.
It still would be now. Give the gunners some 6# and .303 rounds and you'll see how quick the crowd scatters. Good luck to the poor critter if someone finds a Ma-Deuce though.

As a german I wonder what my great or great-great grandpas felt like seeing a tank. I don't know if they served in WW1 or where since I sadly don't know much about them in the war, just after the war.
I live in north germany, eastern frisia where my mothers family always lived. After the war, when supplies where short all over germany, he would ride his bicycle to Emden (it was a bike with a load area) and buy goods, ride back home and sell it in his village, with that stopping the hunger in his area. He wouldn't even sell it expensive but at reasonable prices so he could buy new supplies at Emdens harbour. The shop he sold it in was famous in my region and was held up until the 80s when my grandfather sadly died, my grandmother couldn't keep it up alone anymore and my aunt who inherited the house and Shop didn't continue it
Also lived nazi germany?
@@laylowxalex Wdym?
@@fuckinantipope5511 I think he wanted to know if your grandfather lived during the time of nazi regime
@Adam Arki no, sadly not. My grandmother closed it because she couldn't handle it alone and my aunt wouldn't help her with it. My grandmother sadly died in 1996 (4 years before I was born) and my aunt inherited the house and shop but didn't reopen it
Told so at the end of my original comment too
@Adam Arki I never asked her because it's not my Business. She always Was different than my mother and other aunt. She was the black sheep of the family, always provoking for no reason. Still is doing it to my mother
