A7V did have suspension of the same type as the St. Chamond. Also, the Mark tanks didnt really need suspension because the ground underneath them was their suspension. They were made for difficult soft terrain, which naturally cushioned the impacts from driving over uneven ground shapes.
Always wondered about this - I noticed particularly with the F1 it looked like there was suspension for the track on the upper side, but none for the actual road wheels.... This answers my questions, thanks a bunch!
To my knowledge, both the Schneider and Saint Chamond running gear were heavily inspired by Holt tractors. In fact, they were modified so that to avoid paying fees.
As was the Sturmpanzerwagen (A7V is a misnomer). The Holt tractor was prolific due to it being basically the first continuous track suspension to be successful.
I just had a quick peak at your channel, and god damn do I love it already! Clear, interesting, nice style. I am a simple wee lad, easily won over, have me subscription!
Hey, Congratulations, a great video, with really cool info. One thing though: Speak more clearly when you narrate these videos, it's sometimes hard to understand what exact word you said, plus no one likes a mumbler.

The A7V did have suspension, 3 sets of 5 wheel bogies per side on coil springs.
@@garyzimmer4149 Oh oops, one of my sources said it didn't have it but not looking at it it did have Holt Style vertical spring

Glad to be of help! I've been wanting to dive into this for a while!
Thanks for making this video, it was really interesting! Keep at it dude :)
Thanks, I put a fair bit too much time looking at suspension of tanks for this

4:55 I would describe my mother in law the same way.
your mother in law is a british rhombiod break through tank?
“Hans ve need a better transmission”
"More armor Ya Say?"
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
"Mark" series...
I thought it was pronounced "Boogie"
"so the British invented the Boogie 2988 type L tank, it was extremely heavy, cumbersome and above all a pathetic tank design"
