      @BeyondTheGrave84 Год назад +2

      Not completely true. The BT-42 was designed to engage enemy armor if needed and that's why the Finns copied a German designed at-round for the howitzer. The German round was capable of penetrating the armor of a T-34, but the Finnish version could not. This is because Finns used low quality materials to produce their own version of the round which meant that the ammunition did not have the same effectiveness as the German built ones. I think it was a heat round and the problem with the Finnish version was the fuse which did not go off when hitting the target.

    Hetzer was introduced in 1944 as a tank destroyer and during that time tungsten had been rather rare, Hetzer wasn´t hastily assembled,it was a risk willingly taken for its design as it was designed to replace Stug 3 and 4 in the Tank destroyer role, where it was equally if not even more effective, and hunting one was rather difficult in favourable terrain conditions, but once exposed the vehicle would be easy prey. BT 42 was not designed to replace the FT but actually designed as an assault tank for supporting infantry assaults and fast moving assaults against fortified positions, freeing the few stugs at the time of introduction. Type 64 had the 76mm M1A2 gun which was used on the late war sherman fleets,not a taiwanese gun.. Get your facts together...

The problem with german Jpz line was the same one as with german tank line in general, lack of standardization and overengineering and i am not talking about panthers and tigers when i say this, Pz3 and Pz4 both had too many unnecessary and frankly inefficient bells and whistles in the early war and they did release multiple submodels axing one feature after another at almost frequent and regular basis..

    Wooden logs are a feature that Soviet tanks carried since the day they were born, if the tank is stuck on a muddy terrain, they can attach the log to the tracks, and so it will help the vehicle to move out

  • @wehrabooslayer419
    @wehrabooslayer419 Год назад +32

    More protection is only a bonus that you get from carrying logs on a tank. Since most soviet tanks are designed lightweight enough to cross the relatively weak Eastern European bridges (≈50t), and with a light enough ground pressure to drive well in the snow during the russian winter, it is possible to get the tank out of the mud without needing an armoured recovery vehicle, all you need to do is to press a log against the tracks so the tank can get the slightly better grip it needs to gain traction.
    As a result of this it has been common practice to carry logs on soviet tanks for a long time, and is thus not a new thing in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

    BT-42 surely is one of the most multi-national tanks, it's modified BT-7 by the finns, the BT-7 being soviet-made, the gun is British and the ammunition they used for it is German, and the ammunition half the time did not work, mostly because the gun was inch design while the ammunition was millimeter design, so there was very small but in this case crucial gap left over.
    Edit : hypothetically the ammunition could penetrate even a jagdtiger from the front (the lower front plate), but obviously they struggled even against T-34s so... hypothetically stayed very hypothetical, meanwhile the only BT-42 left has been pretty much animefied by the Japanese who have shown huge love towards the weird tank.

    Two 25mm naval cannon are actually rather powerful rounds. 25x210mm rounds they are actually devastating against ground targets and the gun itself is no longer fitted to new ships so the barrels and ammo in storage can be used up against enemy troops hiding in woodlands. The trees set off the rounds in the air to you get an airburst effect that is deadly.

    taiwan also has CM-11, a hybrid version of M48.
    it's a mix of M48A3 turret, M60A3 tank hull, combined with M1 Abrams' fire control system and a M68 gun.
    my guess is it's not just economic wise, it's more about serving the military while playing Lego.

    Both sides are getting creative with welding stuff to things
    Cannibalizing tanks to repair other tanks is standard practice in every military on earth
    "The Log" (the unditching beam) has been a feature on soviet tanks since the 20s.
    Nothing perplexing about it, and any "eyewitnesses" observing Russian armour in Ukraine would not be feeling perplexed about anything due to being on an active battlefield.
    The MT-LB is not an amphibious fighting vehicle, it's a multipurpose tractor, welding stuff to MT-LBs is a tradition in that part of the world.

      There was the Canadian Military Pattern trucks. They provided almost all the trucks for the British, a large part of the Soviet army moved on them, and were the reason why by the end of the war the Canadian Army, and First Canadian Army in northwest Europe, was the most mechanized army in the world. There was one vehicle for every 3 personnel.

    The Skink may have been a bit too late to the War, like the British Centurion which by the time the first tank made to the front, Germany surrendered and it was paraded through Berlin with a few more. The Skink and its 4 20mm cannons would have been more then effective against ground targets, especially when firing anti-tank ammunition which could rip through buildings, and be devastating of course if someone was unlucky enough to be hit by one. Sure, they wouldn't do much to a tank despite having anti-tank rounds, but they are mostly just solid shot, no explosive inside the rounds like the anti-air rounds normally fired at aircraft. It would be ideal to have with a group of tanks travelling in an urban area, if they tanks were suddenly ambushed by enemies in near by buildings, the Skink would be able to melt the buildings by spraying them with the 20mm cannons, saving the remaining tanks if any were taken out. Simply put, the Skink may have been designed for Anti-Air work, but it would have been crazy good at anti-infantry work and would have had more purpose if used in that way.

  • @jenniferstewarts4851
    @jenniferstewarts4851 11 месяцев назад

    Skinks did see combat, and were well loved and respected... The catch is, they were NOT used as AA vehicles.
    They were used as anti-personal, with their 4 cannon flushing out enemy infantry. 1 unit with a single light burst, was enough to flush out and convince some 40 Germans to surrender. They were good against enemy light vehicles, trucks, half tracks, and such, as well as towed guns.
    Finally they were useful in urban combat, as the enclosed turret and ability to aim high at buildings, allowed them to suppress upper floors during building to building combat.
    Now, sure, using a 20mm against infantry is technically against the genoiva convention... But this is canada. When the Sorrys stop, the warcrimes start.
