And this is now why British tanks have Tea making/brewing machines in them...
yay tea :)
Without tea they are like ducks😢
It’s literally a kettle
Boiling Vessel or BV for short 😄 had that bad boy plugged in on and boiling away whilst on the move in my AS90 😂
@@JackC92 I love tea. Black tea is very good. Btw, my country mounts AS90 turrets on K9 chassies as AHS Krab. But they got read off Boiling Vessel, so you wont make tea in our AHS KRAB :C
It was honestly quite hilarious how almost instantly history changed course
Well it’s still a little similar because Michael Whitman was killed by a firefly
In one of the first tries of the event, I killed the tiger with a cromwell, it was a one shot kill
@@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194 he wasnt, in this battle
@@win.te.r Really??!?? I knew that bro that’s why I said it’s a little similar and not “it was very accurate)
@@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194 you mean whitmann being killed by a firefly was similar?!?
The big difference maker is the fact that this is a game. In realty fear and the hesitancy that is placed on you from that fear can easily slant odds in ones favor. furthermore the Tiger tank was essentially the boogie man to the allied troops and most soldiers had the fear long before seeing one in person.
and people actually know what will happen. back in the days people didnt know what was happing till it was to late
bruh
What an absolutely brutal fight between the brits and germans, that was amazing to watch and so cinematic!! Actually had me on the edge of my seat!
11:37 MOM IM FAMOUS
This was a fun event, looking forwards to the next. the chaos of the city siege from all sides was a exhilarating adrenaline rush
did you enjoy the kill
@@AdmiralDevil …yea
since I finished off that flank and it Probobly was a major reason we won at the end
@@dominickmorsell7319 nice,wanna know something funny
@@AdmiralDevil yea, whatcha got?
and he will be back in 6 more hours
I think what this video shows us is War Thunder needs more historical scenarios like this, small scale tank skirmishes based on real life events
Yeah it could be interesting but there are few battles in which both sides have equal strength. Just think to this battle: do you think that playing as a Stuart could be any fun?
Imagine the tiger vs 50 t34s💀💀
Gotta make you respect the stuart IRL who blocked the road for a tiger trying in vain to buy time for the units behind them
Ikr that's some brave shit to be almost forgotten 😢
Excellent production fam
I was the tiger that destroyed your firefly
Y’all should do a Stalingrad battle with air and ground combined
That would be massacre with bombs falling everywhere, but thats a very good idea
Not gonna lie the final phase of this battle is very accurate to the one that happened in real life after Whitman escape Villers because with his crew he came back with his entire tiger Ruben with the remaining tigers and a couple of pans or fours from the six panzer 4s from a panzer brigade
Glad to see you saw the comments suggesting to do it in sim! I think that worked even better
Sweet! More of these historical matchups please!
Was great being able to participate in this event!
Yea it really was i was the first Cromwell to die
@@cptfrostbite I was the second halftrack in the convoy, and the halftrack hidden against the church during the second battle.
Nice i was the Cromwell in the pit that you only can see the turret of at 12:12
@@cptfrostbite You did a pretty good job at staying hulldown
@@cptfrostbiteou were great I saw you hull down in there made me wanna try harder in my firefly
I was the firefly that died between the smoke and staurt
Ik I helped kill a pz 4 H but other then that idk
Awesome to see these tanks played so well
Fun video but you didn't recreate the battle. There was a full Squadron of Cromwell with three Fireflies on the hill. They were taken out by two of Wittman's Tigers while Wittman ambushed one of those three Fireflies and turned left to go along the road. Parked next to the road were Bren Carriers and half-tracks. Those were destroyed by machinegun fire (German tanks used AP machinegun ammunition which under 250m penetrates the armor of lightly armored vehicles) plus he drove over the universal carriers some 6 pdr guns. He also destroyed a 6 pdr while the British were setting it up.
Past the Cromwell Squadron HQ unit he ran into three Cromwell, one with a dummy 75mm (FOO vehicle) taking out the FOO tank and one of the other Cromwell as well. He then moved into the town and was fired on by a Firefly which missed. Wittman broke contact and headed back where he ran head on with the one HQ Cromwell left that was moving down the road to attack the Tiger from the rear. Instead, they fought head on and after bouncing a round off the Tiger that Cromwell was knocked out. Whittman had passed it as the Cromwell was in a small garden off the road and the tank commander watched Wittman's Tiger drive by. His gunner wasn't in the tank. Whittman's Tiger continued on but was tracked by a 6 pdr hastily set up in the buildings to get a flank shot on any vehicle on the road. The 6 pdrs did have APDS. Wittman's crew abandoned their Tiger and walked to a Panzer Lehr position. That is where German infantry and Mark IV tanks came from. Meanwhile, the two Tigers had taken out most of the Cromwell and the two Firefly tanks on the hill.
The attack on the village with the remaining Tigers and Panzer Lehr's Mark IV tanks supported by grenadiers from Leher cost at least one Tiger and a Mark IV and was unsuccessful as the British had set up a strong defense. The Germans began to encircle and the British hastily pulled out.
British half-tracks don't have a .50 cal AA HMG. They remove them and replace with a .30 cal Browning. German MG can penetrate lightly armored vehicles at close range - also weapon shields which is the reason they have AP ammunition. One major thing not replicated in your battle is that the crews and men were out of their vehicles while all of the officers gathered with the forward Squadron for an Ops meeting (to discuss the next step in their advance). No AT guns set up, no one dug-in, PIAT left in the half-tracks. Thus the infantry and tanks did not have their command present and some didn't have a tank commander or anti-tank weapons.
The counter-attack by the Tigers and Panzer Lehr wasn't well organized and had no artillery support. The British put up a good fight. Not sure what they had run into and in contact with Tigers and having no reconnaissance not knowing how many Germans were attacking, the 7th withdrew the rest of the brigade back to consolidate.
This battle lasted hours. 30 some minutes for the initial attack by Whittman in the morning and then hours of fighting by the lead British tank Squadron with many captured or escaping back to British lines, then Wittman walking to the Lehr positions, getting Lehr units formed and advancing to attack blind, another Tiger company arriving with a handful of operational vehicles, coordinating these elements into an attack and then the fight in the village took up most of the daylight hours. The Brits pulled back late that day.
Try THROUGH THE LENS - BATTLE OF VILLARS BOCAGE by the Then and Now British publishers which provides a detailed account of the battle which I roughly tried to do from memory, above.
WoW! Amazing video, Historical recreations are the best! Maybe Battle of Chałchyn-Goł river, or Pacific front battle? And i still please for Battle of Hannut:)
A firefly waiting for a peak vs a tiger just driving through, in real life, the tiger commander would probably have to tell the gunner the position of the firefly. In WT, 3rd person make sot easy. But still impressive that the tiger reacted quickly
There was no third person here because it was in simulator mode so you can only use the commander view outside the tank, not third person
Hey thunder with muffin I had an idea for a video and my idea is what if you tried to recreate the battle of Berlin with the first round being the vehicles used in the battle and round two maybe being any modern vehicle that the contestants choose or maybe possibly something similar to that and I hope you have a great rest of the day that you may or may not see this.
More of these accurateish events!
nice edit and video
Thank you!
You should bring in herrmantheegerman for the next ww2 germany vid
I think there is also a bit more to this. The fact that Brits didnt had that many Firefly's to supply across entire front in such huge ammount. ( But same goes for Tigers in this ! ) Aswell, Cromwell using ( In this battle ) its more developed amunition. Back then, it could not pen the Tiger, not even from the back. But that might come also to facts Brits were using alot of HE instead.
Fun battle :)
I only wonder, if "dead" players could still talk to rest of the team. If they were on Discord. That might of caused some dissadvantages ?
In the event none of us could talk to eachother on either side, atleast in VC. It was mostly narration from admins, we did use text chat though
@@dominickmorsell7319 Well you know what i mean. That hopefully the "Dead" were not telling the "Living" where and what is happening. That wouldnt be very fair for this "recreation" you know ?
Hey mr, i think u should do more defenders vs atakers on difrent maps/nations, cause this video was epic, nice work with the camera angles.
At the first round if they got flanked in the rear , nobody knows were the enemy is . As they got hit they imediatly droped smoke and turned around , wich irl nobody would do as you don't know were the shots are coming . This is why they managed to knock one Tiger out .
In the second battle some guys used APDS , wich was available August 1944 and pretty rare btw .
i was the firefly that got the kill. didn't even shoot him he just blew up and I got the kill credit.
But they were playing as British Fireflies, and British Fireflies dont have access to apds.
@@rogueleader7506 there was 1 dude with an intalian FF and that does get apds
@@slayer_king_0033 damn time traveling italians.
When you make the final cut 🤩🤩🤩🤩 11:19 ( PatMori7)
recrations=the best WT video:)
Do a 1 mous and 5 tiger and 15 British tanks
Awesome, but did the Germans in ww2 know how to angle tiger?
its a debatable topic there is ONE manule that describes something along the lines of angling but we don't know how wide spread that manual was and how tank commanders used its contense in combat.
I love the yarnhub video and this to
這真是太有趣了,尤其是那些"技術性鏡頭" 更讓人深入其境的觀賞戰鬥
I would have loved to play in the first mission as the Tiger E
Claims to recreate events as close as possible* leaves the decisions on players hands* players dont shoot the leading vehicle, as the germans were instructed* players dont shoot the firefly, as the germans were instructed* :D
I watched the yarnhub video and this is epic
Thanks to all who helped
I was the second Cromwell in the front of the convoy, I deployed smoke
what i expected: tigers barrel gets shot out immediately and gets swarmed
Day 1 of asking muffin to recreate check point Charle
Situational awareness.
Bro the music got me crying lol
Take out those fireflies and the rest is a walk in the park. Just dont over extend your position and get flanked.
which is a shame because in real life the 6 pdr took out tigers in Africa.
Can I have the name at the music at like 10:08 please if someone has it ? It was very epic, and I loved it :D
It’s called: By the Sword, and the artist is Kevin Graham
@@ThunderWithMuffin Ohhhhh, thanks :D
Poor stuarts...
Hey June 13 my birthday
shoot the Fire fly which cba fu ck up tigers and panthers?
The stupid tiger commander : what ill happen
Day 5 asking Muffin to play the Stug lll against modern vehicles.

Whats the music at 9:20??
What town is the Normandy map located in real life?
Part of the reason that the results in game were different from history is that in real life there is always a delay between an enemy tank being spotted and the gunner laying the gun onto target. Since in game only one person is in control of the tank, it means that things happen a lot more quickly. Also, there is the aspect that all participants knew what was happening and thus were able to coordinate better and were more mentally prepared for the situation. That aspect alone is a major variable that threw a wrench into your simulation.
If you want a realistic simulation, limit the players to gunner view only and have a spectator for each participant giving bearings of enemies. However the spectators should only be able to communicate with the vehicle they are acting as the commander of unless said vehicle has a radio in which case they can coordinate with other commanders.
And a delay for the Brits so there can walk into there Tanks
Its crazy to think the real wittman was taken out by a normal 75mm Sherman
Like it just proves how the tiger was never indestructible
Actually it was a 76mm Sherman Firefly that had a bigger and longer gun, with more penetration power than the normal one.
@@the.real.cia.langley oh I always heard it was a 75 Sherman
But still people tend to underestimate the normal 75mm Sherman
@@ComradeBobcat39 The best part about it is that it was a former shoemaker that fired the shot that took the Tiger out. Just imagine that!
@@ComradeBobcat39 Actually the normal Sherman's 75mm gun was small and also was short in length. That was the weakness of the gun. Another factor was the ammunition which was not suited well for tank combat, since the tank was made with an idea of it being an infantry support tank. The Americans mainly focused on tank destroyers to go toe to toe against the german tanks, especially the heavies.
I remember there was a proverb but I forgot it, it basically said "those ace are just lucky".
What's the intro music ?
Memories of coh
I saw my kills and death lets gooo
Sometimes yarnhub isn’t right in fact not all sources are corrected Whitman and probably his entire tiger Groped attacked the British column
The British were so close to loosing the second round
Yeah, at the end the flanks done by that one Cromwell really gave them the fighting chance. Along with the position they were able to dig in and force the tigers to come to them.
@@Actul_Trap yeah I ahree
I didnt see anybody angle thier armor why?
why isn’t he even angling against enemy fire?
I played a tiger hunt with my mates but I only managed to kill 16 Sherman’s
You know I really am sad because he used to do world-of-tanks-blitz stuff and I really like that and I don't like this new stuff and I remember some of them they were super cool and thunder with muffin if you're reading this can you least make one more world of tanks blitz video?
how can i play in event like this?

Loss of his own tank which he got back it only got tracked
First to give the video a like.
Didnt michael wittman use the tiger h1?
Hey June 13 is my b-day
I hope we see tanks versus infantry in Warthunder in future since Warthunder proclaims itself as realistic vehicular game but vehicles are known to interact with infantry.. pliz don't be like world of tanks a useless boring vehicular only game since u have all naval & ground & air vehicles we just need AI infantry as ground targets to be annihilated by tanks pliz Warthunder!! Don't fail me..
nah gaijin wants the game to remain rated 12+ so they can continue to profit off 13 year old with access to mom's credit card
don't use Yarnhubs version,, use the version from the tankers that fought in the battle and they have been interviewed
Can I get a chance to appeal my ban
Yeah, send me a DM in discord
ya the half tracks were to scared to shoot at the tiger so they sat there and let it kill them
first
65% players in german team play like kids....are they easy bot?
Michael Whitman didn’t do this by himself he probably wasn’t even a ace German tank squads share kills
I was F22raptor27
Micheal wittman Aka the most overrated tank crew in history
The tiger needs to be buffed
no
It needs to be nerfed. 2/15 only wear reparational. Gajin should triple the field repair time and add random issues popping up.
Yarnhub, my guy
what’s you discord
It’s in the description of the vid
@@ThunderWithMuffin sweet thanks i love playing war thunder and i thot it would be fun if i could maybe play in a video if that’s ok with you
if i can play with you
if it’s ok with you i mean
@@JoyRide99 of course, all are welcome:)
