I had a friend who used to play HOI4, and he got banned from a group because of this tank. In that game, as New Zealand, you can develop a heavy "Tank" that's literally 3 Bob Semples stuck together. As a meme, he spent one entire game putting all his resources into the Super Bob and sending them to everyone. He actually interrupted negotiations between Britain and someone else over voice chat by sending the UK a shipment and eliciting a verbal WTF.
Not a single bob semple tank was lost in combat and during its service, New Zealand was never attacked. A true testament to how incredible it is and the ingenuity of New Zealand
As New Zealander\Queenstowner I have to say that the only reason we didn’t get attacked in world wars is because all the other countries were scared of BOB.
Thats actually very clever design. Lest build metal box and put a cooking pot upside down on top. Cheap, ergonomic and easy to use. If tankers hungry they can just use turret to make meals.
So glad to see the mission I've spent days to program still beign played :) Also I've hidden some easter egg in that map, let's see if you can find them all ;) The Bob team
@@massimo1810 I got burned out grinding RB planes months ago and just reinstalled specially for the legendary Bob Semple haha. I'll let you know how it goes or do a video of my own soon! Got some weekday vacation days to burn. 😎
So hear me out on the Bob Semple Japan generally didn’t use tanks when conducting initial amphibious landings (which they would’ve had to do since, yknow, New Zealand is an island), they would establish an initial beachhead and then bring the tanks up afterwards to support their infantry, same for their towed artillery The Bob Semple is basically a somewhat mobile pillbox immune (in theory) to small arms fire and armed with a fuck ton of machine guns pointed in all directions I believe that the Japanese infantry, pretty much only equipped with small arms (most likely light mortars too but cross that bridge) dealing with these things whilst conducting an amphibious landing would honestly be kind of terrifying and somewhat reasonably effective, at least for a little while In short, the Bob Semple very possibly not have been complete trash had it come to the New Zealanders having to use it
It's still awful. NZ could have just made a meh armoured car and achieved the same goal but with better results. Or better yet, import actually competent models.
A good design change would have been turn it all around. Remove all the gunners from behind, put one to each side (or in corner like ball ports), another one to the front, driver and a Turret with either a 7mm, a 12mm or a 37mm. Considering most Japanese tanks weren't very armored, a 12.7mm would have been a pretty useful. Reducing 3 members of the original 8 would remove quite a weight from such a small boyo, and it would have been a, at least, somewhat competent tank for anti-infantry desings. However, as Bob Semple said, "I don’t see anyone else coming up with any better ideas"
@@bamboozlednoodle6513 if they couldn't even make an armoured car then what hope would they have for producing these? Anyway, the Japanese were quite good at amphibious landings and they did have to fight the tanks of the allies probably on beachheads, so I don't see how the Bob fucking Semple would achieve something that the M4 Sherman, Stuarts, and light British tanks couldn't. British and US territories were overrun even with competent tanks, so the Bob Semple wouldn't have changed this trend in any way.
bob semple with the 37mm (not built but designed) could actually work as a Rank 1 Premeium vehicle (decent gun) with lots of crew so its survivable enough and wouldn't be as bad considering they added the BM-8-24 in the game
@@simselmore5625 people always bring up the corrugated steel. But I think it’s unfair to image the Bob semple having that armor while in service. Everyone seems to forget that the Bob Semple tank was merely a prototype. Had it seen service, they likely would’ve given it some of the armor plating that they were importing from Australia.
unrionically a good idea! maybe it should be in the british tech tree at 0.0 since a new zealand tech tree would be pretty bare bones in term of new content (plus australian vehicles are already in the british tech tree so its not too stupid)
as a new zealander i can confirm we have moving steel fortresses that roam the endless beaches but i cannot confirm that we have lots of palm trees that is rather incorrect
Imagine if instead of a tank it is a radio control decoy vehicles, where it can stick anything on it like tree and make a whole lot of them and troll the whole enemy unit into believing they gone crazy seeing a bunch of trees move by random
All I want is the Big bob tank and being able to count the amount of correlated sheets have been riveted/ welded together to make 200mm sloped frontal armour 😅😅
I want to go back in time and teach Bob Semple better tank design so he doesn’t get insulted and he will be remembered as a hero for his creativity and brilliant craftsmanship in his defense of New Zealand.
If the M2A2 is in the game there’s no reason this thing shouldn’t be either. Hell, it’d be fun to have a 0.1-0.9 BR area filled with Panzer I’s , T-26’s, T-38’s, L3/35’s with 8mm, AMR 33’s, AMR 35’s, Carden-Loyd tankettes and a bunch of a bunch of armored cars all with armor-piercing bullets. If armor degradation actually worked like it should it would be really fun.
Blatantly inaccurate. The Semple tank was an unstoppable beast of unparalleled destruction. Nothing japan could throw at this thing would work! It’s a common misconception that the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked to force a surrender from the Imperial military. The reality was, however, New Zealand had covertly deployed a pair of these rolling crimes against humanity onto the Japanese Home Islands. The atomic bomb was deemed absolutely necessary as the only feasible means of destroying a fully armed Bob Semple tank. The two cities were sacrificed to save the Japanese citizenry from the unspeakable cruelties that would’ve been unleashed should those machines be allowed on their rampage.
Gaijin is russian(not hungarian, because president of this company names it as domestic), so when you donate to this game, russian goverment gets money to spent it on weapon, so be careful.
Imagine new zealend tree with just a single tank
Nah, they'd also have the BIG BOB
that you need rank 7 to unlock 💀💀💀
Im going to make a petition to war thunder for this
no this gonna be their premium vehicle🤣
That would be pretty cool if it was for April fools

Yeah hoi4 is wild lol.
"It's not stupid if it works" -Bob Semple
it wouldve gone like that if we got the 37 or 47mm guns
I love the growing list of over used sound effects in theses
lol I honestly think this would be a funny addition as an actual br 1-1.3 tank for the UK tree
Bob turning while in the move? Heresy!
I bet if Bob Sample still in use, it can solo the whole USA with 100% power. While Bob only use his machine gun
joke aside, that guy in laying position must be the happiest guy in the tank
As a new zealander for 10+ years i can confirm that the bob semple is simply overpowered in all its glory. Especially when it's not spotted 😉
Bob is much stronger than my PZ 38t
0:23 Bro can just sleep in battle.
Lmfao i dont play world of tanks at all i watch these videos for the sound effects its too funny
People would quit and I know it mostly for rage of being killed

They could add this but not in the New Zealand tech tree…
Under the British Tech Tree 🇬🇧🧐☕️
Its cozy in the tank
The gun was supposed to be the American 37mm, it should be doin better than that
Maybe a Britain reserve tier exclusive
Thats a bed roll..
Bro, can you do the Armadillo from Guatemala?
Add Australia with a nz line
NZ tropical paradise 🤣
what button do you press to see whats gonig on in the tank or controler like ps5 xbox
It had no canon
Looks like casoh 1x1
Its not a tank its a killdozer....
This feels offensive but true
I like how the X-ray shows the mattress the soldier is lying in.
So bad it was damaged by the shards…
"The Bob Semple has been redesigned for comfort and utility-"

"Oh dear..."
What are you doing step soldier ?

The best role in the Bob Semple. You can sleep all day like it's a 5-star mobile hotel.

The Axis were too afraid to fight the Bob tank.
