@@yaboycaso Yeah, i checked it again a few months ago after several years of not following the game, i decided to choose a new account and literally every other guy i fought had that small cube tank that shot a wall of mortar balls. I used machine guns to counter them but it got annoying quick and i uninstalled.
the tank crews of the pacific removed their top mounted machine guns because japanese soliders would turn them against the US troops so it would probably help the Japanese considering their MGs had smaller bullet capacity
Fun fact The prototype for the M2 had dual 37mm cannons instead of the single 37mm though they were a smaller barrel. This prototype still exists at the Armor & Calvary museum at Ft Moore (Ft benning) Georgia
"The M2 was supposed to use as many components from the M2 as possible" Yeah that's a sentence I'd expect to hear whenever the topic of American Military Equipment from the 20th century comes up.
You are definitely wrong, young man. The M2 is the most American light tank. The M4 Calliope is the most American medium tank and the M6 Heavy is the most American heavy tank.
People are saying “oh this would be so good in the pacific since tanks were fighting infantry 99% of the time,” but they don’t realize that tanks are almost always only fighting infantry or fortifications.
Bro i love the medium m2, both in AB and RB, the front plane goes so hard and if you are let's say, 300 meters away from the enemy, you are impenetrable from the front
Do not worry, once you get the stabiliser it should be nicer to play, also getting the Leopard 1a5 which is inside the A1A1’s sub-box helps quickly get a second rank VI vehicle, I’m researching it now.
They are anti aircraft weapons; the two people who operate the hull machine guns each have a hatch, the theory was that if the tank was attacked by aircraft they would get their upper bodies out of the hatches and use those .30 cals on the turret to defend the tank. Since the vehicle never really saw combat, only being used for training, the theory was never tested, but no one really ever had much faith in it.
@@Shaun_Jones I think this was also part of the reason why anti-aircraft was left to other supporting aircraft, specialized AA vehicles, and our lord and savior the M2HB commander mount. Not only were these options more convenient but probably a lot safer than two guys sticking out of a hatch like what was proposed for the M2
The M2 is a decent tank, gun is aight, speed isn't terrible neither, the only thing not good about it is its turret traverse. I found this out the hard way when a BT came and said hello.
Doesnt this thing have more than 10000 rounds of 7.62? If so, that means they basically have a huge ammorack that would be really deadly if they exploded
actually was a good tier 0-1 tank also, funny as it seems the libyan army would have fared better using these in their war with chad than they did with modern main battle tanks since this one could take machinegunfire from technicals and could fire back from all sides , it couldn't be rushed by a bunch of dudes on toyota trucks
The man who design the BT tanks is the first American racer to races around in Soviet Russia, soon follows by many American engineer of colors and minorities moving to the Soviet socialist Republic and would be crucial in industrialize the Union.

Nine MG of freedom
"Sir, our prototype medium tank is lacking firepower, what do we do?"
N I N E M A C H I N E G U N S
five hundred machine guns.
When those vehicle building games only allow 1 cannon on your contraption without paying premium
Average top tier super tank rumble tank:
@@yaboycasoHavent heard that name in ages. Game got ruined pretty bad.
@@BlackoutGootraxian yup mortar spammers
@@yaboycaso Yeah, i checked it again a few months ago after several years of not following the game, i decided to choose a new account and literally every other guy i fought had that small cube tank that shot a wall of mortar balls. I used machine guns to counter them but it got annoying quick and i uninstalled.
@BlackoutGootraxian yeah it's sad honestly
That would go crazy during the Pacific because 99 percent of the time you are fighting infantry
Exactly and Japanese armor was incredibly weak
@@GarudaLeader yeah the only thing is I don't know if the armor is good
Remember when the 75mm Sherman tank gun on an attack aircraft wasn’t good enough for the US so they replaced it with 18 .50 CALIBER MACHINE GUN?
the tank crews of the pacific removed their top mounted machine guns because japanese soliders would turn them against the US troops so it would probably help the Japanese considering their MGs had smaller bullet capacity
that, and 50. BMG will likely still penetrate the armour on most japanese tanks of the time. its honestly a win-win in the Pacific
The us was in the “cult of the machine gun” phase lmao
How is that not in Warhammer 40k
Potential History watcher spotted
@@keeperofeurobeat8421 man i love that channel lol, the whole girls and panzers sequence and tank meme videos are awesome
@@NCR-National-Reclamation-Govprimaris repulser 💀 or bane blade
Potential history!
“How many machine guns would you like on your tank?” “Yes”
“Hey, i made a tank based around the m2 just like you asked!”
“I MEANT THE M2 TANK NOT THE M2 BROWNING MACHINE GUN.”
“Welp too late now…”
Not a single M2 Browning on the vehicle.
Shits so american it crashed my RUclips after he mentioned it having 9 machine guns 💀💀💀💀💀
This could have actually been good in the Pacific.
Or in 1930s street fights.
It was in the Pacific
just wonder which army except the Bonus Army would the US army have to fight in the 1930s with just a 37mm gun and 9 mgs
Fun fact
The prototype for the M2 had dual 37mm cannons instead of the single 37mm though they were a smaller barrel. This prototype still exists at the Armor & Calvary museum at Ft Moore (Ft benning) Georgia
Babe wake up remnantov posted!
Anything below 3.0 would instantly have a stroke and die
The freedom box
this tank looks like its made by a hoi4 player
Love your channel bro keep up the good work
wish there was the screaming eagle too
Red tail hawk
If it doesn't have a Burger King inside it isn't the most American tank
Been almost 7years that i did not play this tank
that is the first time i saw you point out something like the machine guns and react like that
*"machine gun spam"* is my best way to put the M2 medium, along with the M3 Stuart
Freedom tank
Never under estimate the Christie Suspension
Bt42 driver
"The M2 was supposed to use as many components from the M2 as possible" Yeah that's a sentence I'd expect to hear whenever the topic of American Military Equipment from the 20th century comes up.
it looks like they forgot to add antennas to the turret, so the engineers just put 2 machine guns there instead
Remember the Stuart it actually has 4 or 5 MG’s probably 4 but you can actually use all 4
Having played this one in WT, I can say it's surprisingly effective as an SPAA
This tank isn't the most American tank, it should be the T34 Calliope
ROCKETS BABYYYYY
Oh it is the most American
You are definitely wrong, young man. The M2 is the most American light tank. The M4 Calliope is the most American medium tank and the M6 Heavy is the most American heavy tank.
Did the M1 Abrams come before the M2 Medium Tank?
Are u stupid
Correct 😅
I love interwar era tanks. They are all so goofy looking and covered in machine guns
This Is the most American tank ever
People are saying “oh this would be so good in the pacific since tanks were fighting infantry 99% of the time,” but they don’t realize that tanks are almost always only fighting infantry or fortifications.
Thats Freedom Spreader right there, 9 machine guns? "WHAT THE FU*K IS A KILOMETER!!!!"
The M2 would have been the ultimate trench warfare tank, but then trench warfare just didn't happen again.
Would have been ight in the Pacific, imagine the ROC rocking em lol
Honestly could be useful as a police tank. That thing can't take on an army squad but it can certainly fuck up a drug den.
In WH40K, this tank would be called "Da Grot Dakka Bunka."
9 machine guns - most american sentence
'consider obsolete' - well guess we can call that a moving gunstar now
Bro i love the medium m2, both in AB and RB, the front plane goes so hard and if you are let's say, 300 meters away from the enemy, you are impenetrable from the front
"cult of muchine gun"
This tank woulda gone crazy in ww1 because more gun
Excellent tank to add to enlisted
When you want to build a B-17 but are rejected from Boeing.
Freedom machine🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bristling!!! (Ironically now quite a good idea against countless FPVs)
reminder the t-34 was 1 year after this
They accidentally built the perfect tank fo a zombie apocalypse
Remember its not a American tank without a browning on it even if its sitting on a tripod on the roof
I can only think of the emporer penguin when I see that tank
A comical amount of machine guns
M2 made from M2 and have 9 mounted M2s
M1919A4’s
The machine guns are M1919s.
"The M2 had *NINE MACHINE GUNS* "
This is the most American bullshit I've ever heard
Am 26,000 away from getting the lepored a1a1 and am in pain
Do not worry, once you get the stabiliser it should be nicer to play, also getting the Leopard 1a5 which is inside the A1A1’s sub-box helps quickly get a second rank VI vehicle, I’m researching it now.
Yesterday I am unlocked last tank on Russia Tech tree
I am never other nation on war thunder😅
The M1931 convertible the great grandfather of bt-5 and 7
imagine if they were packed with 50 cals instead of 30 cals
Why would you want to have these two machine guns on the roof ?
They are anti aircraft weapons; the two people who operate the hull machine guns each have a hatch, the theory was that if the tank was attacked by aircraft they would get their upper bodies out of the hatches and use those .30 cals on the turret to defend the tank.

The NOT Flying Fortress.
The power of eleven guns
This is me with the extra module slot mod after I put one light turret and like 7 extra machine guns and like 4 small HMG turrets…
America try not to name your equipment M2 challenge: (impossible)
The M2 is a decent tank, gun is aight, speed isn't terrible neither, the only thing not good about it is its turret traverse. I found this out the hard way when a BT came and said hello.
don't let it fall into Al Capone hands
Well ... sherman was already obselete too 😂
It may be obselite but in Pasific that tank would be deadly fr considering the machine guns
How does one throw away a BT5 in favour of a death cockroach
Best Airsoft tank ever, I tell ya
Doesnt this thing have more than 10000 rounds of 7.62? If so, that means they basically have a huge ammorack that would be really deadly if they exploded
In warthunder if the machine gun isn’t the primary weapon, it has no ammorack
American interwar tank designers trying their hest to not put hlaf of the US army's machine guns on 1 single tank (difficulty: impossible):
actually was a good tier 0-1 tank
also, funny as it seems the libyan army would have fared better using these in their war with chad than they did with modern main battle tanks since this one could take machinegunfire from technicals and could fire back from all sides , it couldn't be rushed by a bunch of dudes on toyota trucks
i played this tank quite a lot and the macine gun ports arent weak its the side door
Click on the video below ain't available in this vid .-.
9 machine guns RAH!!!🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
What the F* is a Kilometer! 🇺🇸💥🦅
I think the most American tank is M26 T99 or the Calliope
the believe that as much mg as possible for anti infantry purposes
Did they see my idea or did?I just have my idea at horrible timing
"HELL YEAHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥" ahh tank
those teo machineguns facing up actually shoot or just spares for infantry to take one?
Dakka
Could’ve sold it to the KMT imo
Looks like a Dalek
That is more than the IS7, wtf
I've already used this one but i stopped cuz its turret turns AWFULLY and PAINFULLY slowly compared to the m2a4
Wish the top 2 were useable in wt
The only thing i hate about it is THE STUPID TURRET TRAVERSE SPPED
American engineers:how much machine guns u want?😊
IDEA:yes
💀💀💀
Didn’t the M2 Tank get used in the pacific or am I thinking of the Lee? That the Marines Used?
Very American to name it the M2. Gives plenty of ways to mistake the tank for other things.
The man who design the BT tanks is the first American racer to races around in Soviet Russia, soon follows by many American engineer of colors and minorities moving to the Soviet socialist Republic and would be crucial in industrialize the Union.
Unfortunately I don’t think you can fire all MGs
Bro i dont even play war thunder its so interesting to listen to.
Please don't, the Snail will consume your soul
Never saw combat but decommissioned in 1945.
Its getting sus here, they probably use it/ lend it somewhere
I AM A DALEK! 😂😂😂
aaand 10tp/14tp for Poland :D
No, they didn't FAIL, the Army was bitchy about Christie's tanks.
The most American thing ever
Flame version was in Japan
The fact the BT tanks are American just shows how bad Russia really is.
Why not that many Maxine guns
American bob semples
