@@adastra7939 omni wheel tsar tank
at least THAT could be done with current tech levels.
But holy Thunderbirds, Batman! Isn't that International Rescue's time-honored and much-beloved Mole you're talking about?
Well, actually, a burrowing tank was a real project, it was planned to be made on the basis of a nuclear power plant. It was like a submarine only subground.
Having front armor is not a flaw, it's a feature, because it gives you a natural place to focus your armor. Spreading the armor out equally results in no well armored side that's able to stand up to armor piercing weapons.
It’s pretty safe to assume the guy that came up with this decided that the armour surrounding the tank would be equal to the front of most convenient tanks
but then that makes the tank extremally heavy, meaning you have to compromise other features, or make it much larger and more expensive.@@basic6735
the design is meant to provide greater advantage to the enemy and it succeeds at this quite well by taking the tank out of commission before it ever enters use.
No its a flaw
As Sun Tzu said, if the enemy protects all of their flanks they'll be weak in every one.

@ColinFurze
For enough armor to protect it, that single thrust leg thing would simply stab into the ground and NOT lift the "tank" up. Never mind when the single peg took damage. And the sudden thrusting up would probably kill the crew to move.
And the entire weight is focused on the small "ankle" of the foot. I doubt that even today you could find any metal strong enough to survive one jump.
Right! I was thinking the same thing. It would have to lift 40 000 tons, seem improbable!
...Did you watch the video?
@@Felix-os5hf I did. Did you? The video agrees with me.
@@xxxlonewolf49 That's my point, u just repeating what the video said lol
Early tanks had same thickness armor all around. Making it thicker in the front was an improvement, putting the most protection where it mattered.
they also had multiple guns to the side, putting one bigger gun on a turret to be able to track the main target was an improvement too.
@@Stevie-J RIP spines of the crew and anything inside tge "tank" that is not bolted ti its place
@@Stevie-J
You must be trolling, right? Please tell me you are being sarcastic!
Hopping offers no sensible benefit, and puts the tank under immense mechanical stress that is sure to put a bunch of important things out of alignment.
Spreading the armour thin across the entire tank and having lots of small guns is literally the opposite of min/maxing.
Having multiple guns also requires more optics which is very expensive and inefficient.
It also can't move continuously nearly as easily and evenly as a wheeled or tracked vehicle.
Maximizing frontal armour and having a sufficient caliber gun in a stabilized turret is damb near mandatory on a modern tank.
Also, the design in the video is basically an un-angled cylinder, which would offer very poor performance against kinetic penetrators (or any modern munitions, really).
Design is so bad, it would be difficult to deliberately design a worse idea.
@@hamstsorkxxor On a cylinder almost every surface is angled. The designer was obviously 'min-maxing' for something other than attacking armoured vehicles. Such as infantry support.
@@jwadaow
A cylinder is flat enough to be effectively not angled at at all, for about half the side facing you. Angling increases effective thickness due to geometry, and by increasing the forces which makes impactor more likely to break up and ricochet.
However, the effect of angling is not linear with the angle. For angle to matter, it must be quite steep!
A couple of these things jumping around chaotically right as the enemy charged would cause absolute chaos. Of course, they would only work for 1 or 2 fights before the enemy realized their weaknesses.
This feels like star wars
At its goofiest, Star Wars had more dignity.
The crew would puke until they arrive to the Battlefield. Not to mention it only takes one mine and its leg would torn to shreds or fall forward if caught in barb wire (which wouldn't be rare on a Battlefield)
And then another leg pops out by surprise.
It would be as easy as leaping in a ground that isn't flat for this thing to crash into the ground
that's if the crew survives the jarring hops.
@@rogermiller2159It then runs back to the depot for repairs, clocking 55 mph off-road.

But would it have 6 pedals with only 4 directions?
During the First World War when the British were developing their land battleships, later mobile water tanks they actually built a prototype hopping tank. The idea was that it would jump over the trenches, but instead of having one leg, it had six made out telephone's and all it did was burry itself into the ground.
Also, the thinner armor on the back of a tank isn't a weakness. They could just as easily even that out -- rather, tanks have *extra* armor on the front since that's the side you expect to be facing the enemy. If they're able to target your rear, you've already messed up.
I’ve heard about these but seeing them animated is so hilarious. 4 seconds in and this is already goofy asf. Truly one of the videos of all time about one of the tanks of all time
I hadn't heard about these, so I was convinced it was just a meme at first...
Wonder if that's part of their motivation to make this video. It was such an absurd concept that it would have never been given any consideration by anyone, thus isn't really worth thinking much of, but they probably heard of it and thought "An animation of this thing needs to exist, and we are qualified to make that."

Finally, a battle tank that is literally a tank
This design would fit right in a retro-futuristic sci-fi setting. On a planet with low gravity this could possible be feasible. Imagine a space-faring civilization that invades a planet with a fleet of these, only to find out that the gravity is far too great for the extendable leg to function.
With low gravity I imagine they would just make actual flying fortresses that can bring as much ordinance as possible instead of this.

New meaning to the expression: "Bringing a one-legged man to an ass kicking contest"
This just shows why, if you insist on putting legs on an armored vehicle, why you should have at least three. The Martians from "War of the Worlds" knew what they were doing. (That said, tank treads are by far the more efficient and cost effective option today.)
3 legs in a tripod setup would require active balance systems to not fall down. 3 legs as in an R2 unit can work, though.
It just works. The closer you are to the ground, the harder it is to fall. If you are constantly touching it, like a tank usually is, it takes quite a bit to topple you.
@@norwegiangadgetman I'm just saying it's a minimum for a large machine to be stable (my opinion).
@@chrisshorten4406 Yes, it's the minimum. But anything that requires active stabilisation has more failure points, and you try to avoid those in a tank. The Chicken Walkers(AT-ST) in Star Wars is a particularly horrid example. The War of The Worlds tripods are a bit special in that they seem made for use on a different world entirely. Thick atmosphere, low gravity, probably.
We could build a two legged tank today that's at least as adept at walking as humans are - all you need to do is apply machine learning AI to make it autonomously capable of keeping balance and moving across complex terrain. It's quite possible, MIT's robots have come a long way in the past few years, scaling up the technology is probably a lot easier than scaling down.
Until now; I have never laid eyes on a contraption that is simultaneously terrifyingly bizzare, and hilariously comical.
I'm impress in this maneuverability and stability.

I wonder what other designs this guy would've had if they had hired him full time for ideas. If you have 100 crazy ideas, you can always alter 1 or 2 to be more practical. That's how most machines today are. Simple idea with improvements in every generation.
Thank you, i never knew i needed a hopping fortresses in my life
Other people have probably pointed this out, but the reason tanks have weaker armor on the back is to conserve weight. There’s no reason a tank can’t have equal armor all around except that it’s more practical to have most of it on the surfaces most likely to be facing the enemy.
As for the guns, the advantages of many fixed guns vs a few large ones in a turret was decided way back when the Monitor fought the Merrimack.
The bouncy leg doesn’t even merit discussion. 😂
On the subject of "No weak points" - A tank has weaker spots because the designers want to put more armour on other spots within a weight limit - while balance is of some concern when you get really skewed weight distributions, there's nothing really stopping designers from making their tank all one thickness - it's just that it's worst when you know which way will typically face the enemy.
A tank with no weak points, then can be said to have no strong points either. Which assuming equal cost, would mean a tank with just overall weaker armour facing the enemy.
Concept: It will have no weak points
Reality: It is one big weak point.
So you're saying the engineers don't deliberately add a 'weak point' to their projects? That's insane!
@@Homiloko2 More like in reality... you have to make trade offs. A tank is more likely to take fire from the front than the rear. So for the same weight, it is better to have thicker armor in the front and thinner armor in the rear. More armor is great... but it is limited by how powerful engine you have, and how much ground pressure the tank is exerting on the ground. Too heavy and the tank is slow and it sinks into the ground.
It's majestic asf.

ITS A TANK. PILL BOX. TURRET. GUARD TOWER. FORTRESS.
ITS A NIGHTMARE WONDER WEAPON YOU CAN HAVE.
In third century China, there was a famous strategist and military leader called Chuko ‘Sleeping Dragon’ Liang. One story I’ve heard of this gentleman involved him leading a small consort of just 100 men, when he spied an opposing army moving toward them, commanded by General Shan Yi, and composed of more than 100,000 soldiers.
In an act of brilliant misdirection, Chuko ordered his men to hide, and the town gates to be left wide open. Chuko himself stood atop a wall and played a lute at the advancing army, smiling at Shan Yi.
Shan Yi halted, and, knowing Chuko Liang’s formidable reputation as a strategist, considered the possibility that this was some elaborate trap which he couldn’t fathom. So he ordered his 100,000 strong army to retreat.
I imagine this hopping tank may have had the same effect on an opposing army.
Until someone actually shoots it and they notice its easy to destroy (a shot in the leg and the silly tank becomes nothing more than a light bunker)
This is assuming that this"tank" would make it to the battlefield at all, which it clearly couldn't
No. They would have laughed.
So Shan Yi was an easily confused fool with bad intel. Sounds like a weak opponent.

You could make a pillbox leap on firm ground. But it would need a preloaded spring that’s almost strong enough to start raising the structure. Then apply the explosive charge. It would still be useless, but possible.
A fascinating idea which deserves more thought. For instance one of the obvious weaknesses was the pogo stick nature if the propulsion. What if we kept the current design but just added a bottom which contained several mini-legs. Each leg could act as a shock absorber and be set to adjust to the terrain better. Additionally I think that the need for it to jump so high could be dramatically reduced so it could still move but without as much jolting jostles.
The natural evolution would be the Imperial Walker of Star Wars fame. Four legs walking would traverse the battlefield and it would be inherently balanced.
It's fucking dumb idea
Easier to just make the tank go 300 km/h than this
@@BlackPill-pu4vi But some Chinooks with hooks and cables could take the f**ker out.
Watch out for the hoppers, Gordon! They're everywhere!
I could see some practical use if the pogo stick "leg" was replaced with treads or even wheels, "retractable" when you want to become a pillbox.
As for the "limitation" of not having weapons and armor focused on the front, just airdrop it behind enemy lines, in a "target rich environment".
Maybe even turn it into a sort of "dropship", especially if you replace the ground mobility with jumpjets.
Go even further, make it fully autonomous, and power it with a reactor that could double as a tacnuke if it gets overrun.
Wild someone considered making a one-legged ""mech"" when it took decades for even biped machines to move with any speed.
Or four or six legged designs, which are way easier than two legs, and seem most likely to be used for a heavy, all-terrain vehicle in the future. More legs than that is just adding more motors for diminished returns.
This design is from the WWII era. I'm pretty sure that's before the decades you're talking about. People have always been optimistic about technology - flying cars, medical immortality, and conscious robots were already expected to be reality now by many a couple generations ago. Similar to how many now expect warp drive to be a reality in their own future.
I was thinking the armor on the base potentially being weaker though too, although i guess this adds a nice video game bossfight mechanic to it!
This is insanity at a new level!
Most lethal tank on the battlefield... BOTH sides would die laughing.
The first slow walking mechanism reminds me of real life walking dragline excavators. Instead of a central foot, they have a pair of feet to the sides, around a circular base. They move in unison. When the circular base is on the ground, it can rotate to steer the vehicle.
You could modify the way a dragline excavator walking mechanism works to a mobile pillbox. Still not a great idea, though (it's much slower than caterpillar tracks).
Great for bringing earthworms to the surface.
@@rogermiller2159 We must walk without rhythm
One major issue I can already see is weight distribution. All of its weight would be focused on that one leg and any kind of soft ground would cause it to sink and get stuck or trip.
He mentioned that in the video - high ground pressure causing the leg to just sink into soft ground, making the machine totally stuck by effectively having a huge stake holding it to the ground. At that point even a tank recovery machine wouldn't be able to move it, it would have to serve as a bunker where it is (useless due to the thin armor), abandoned, scrapped in situ, or blown up.
Then all mags in the front would always empty first and make it WAY unbalanced.

Some engineering youtuber needs to make a smaller scale version of this just to see what it might’ve moved like irl. 😂
Look up Boston Dynamics Leglab. One of their early locomotion experiments is similar to what you're describing.
scrapman made one in trailmakers
Seems difficult to sufficiently replicate at smaller scale, since a major aspect would be how the leg/foot interacts with real life surfaces, which would need to include proper weight/force dynamics.
Flying hover bikes and hopping tanks... what a great idea for a Pixar war movie (0:56).☺
I would watch that Pixar meets Star Wars movie.
That driver seat must have good cushion
The hoppin bunker O.O
To be honest I think at that time if you saw a dozen of these hopping towards you it would be terrifying
Until the first one just sinks into the ground and falls over. Than everyone starts lauging, and blasting.
They would never crash into each other, so it's probably a good idea. What could possibly go wrong?
Seeing this thing, it instantly reminded me of that hopping ball thing from that crossover event at Warthunder, where you could fight jumping balltanks from Atomic Heart .
funny, an ad of that came up when i was watching this video
2:08 no weak points, except one giant weakpoint right in the center of profile, from whatever side you look.
Perhaps feasible in modern days with a crewless / autonomous mode. Could also tip over to the side and roll along as a monowheel.
This thing reminds me of some examples of heavy machinery, generally mining rigs, that "walk" kinda like the tank on the video but without hopping ofcourse.
Looks like a mini boss from a JRPG
Or Borderlands
"Oh Lawd he comin"
My back is hurting even thinking about all that impact when it lands
I’m pretty sure a battalion of twenty thousand of these could do a lot of harm to your town passing through, without firing a shot.
Wait!
These things can stamp out forest fires!
Now that is practical use.
A battalion of 20 thousand?
That would be multiple armies only considering 50k m4 shermans where made

That’s fine. Make it so.
Don’t forget ride of the valkyries
Trying to image the logistic nightmare to deploy a batalion of twenty thousand jumping potatoes at the same place.
LOL @ stamp out forest fires... instead of 75mm cannon; we'll have water cannons all around! lol
Coked-up Wolfenstein Fans: "I want IRL London Monitor"

it look like a boss in a heavy weapon
