"There's more to this tank than just the armored housing"
You're right, Chieftain. It's also about personality.
@William Dorward *offended in FV4005
Can you imagine if they added Australian voice lines to WoT?
"Did the shot penetrate?"
"Yeah Nah"
"Didn't scratch the cunt!"
"Shit's fucked, get out!"
@@jamesharding3459 one of the few times i would pay
CASH
MONEY
DOLLAR
for a crew
They added them!
@@Dunnay48 I can't see any Australian crew notes sadly. Not even in Blitz.
@@Anolaana oh crap I thought it said wt (war thunder) not wot (world of tanks) 😅
"There was a small incident in France..." - The most succinct summary of Dunkirk that I have ever heard. XD
All the people involved in the casting of this tank were sent to the usa to advise the us in how cast tank hulls
@@brucemcgeehan2847 Really?.... Bravo! Where did you read this?
@@brucemcgeehan2847 well the penis is impressive
Even if the tank never saw service, this gives me a considerable respect that a country was able to develop it under the circumstances outlined in this video.
That armoured housing might scare the enemy on its own.
dats a big boy
Considering the most likely opponents for Sentinel were the Japanese, it probably wouldn't be fear.
Australia isn't that hot, Chief. Everything only bursts into flame every couple of years.
+uberdice But we do it in different parts of the country to add a spice of variety.
@@daleighcom1 Oh yea, then it floods. Sometimes at the same time. :D
Only Australians would have a sense of humour when designing a tank.
Bob😂
Yep.👍
Mate, if you don't have a sense of humour in hell, you don't have anything.
When in a bayonet charge they would say to each other " I will race ya "
@@Rusty_Gold85 im aussie, i completely agree
"It's a perfectly good tank, it's more than just the armored housing!" I find myself laughing at a 60 year old dick joke...
what is the joke?
"America can we buy some of your Ta... Wha, oooh, you got M2 Mediums? Never mind." Damn it Chief, not when i´m drinking!! *Wipes of monitor*
Officer: Why do you need purple paint?Tanker: Morale, Sir.
Officer: Why do you need red paint? Tanker: Red ones go faster, Sir.
Heh, "Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorized Listing"...
MY buddy once Tactically Acquired a complete canopy and bow set for our shop's LMTV off a broken down LMTV belonging to another unit in the motor pool... with the assistance of soldiers in that unit. Walked up to it and started working on tearing it down. Some helpful SFC saw him, asked what he was doing, and then detailed 4 more soldiers to help him...
what a madlad
Remember there is only one thief in the Army, everyone else is trying to get their stuff back.
So, if the tank has to do some deep fording of a river or perhaps an amphibious landing, do you have to place upon your armored machine gun port some sort of rubberized protection sheath? You know, to keep your rifle clean.
+Marc E (Skip) Stop dragging your bow gun through the mud, will ya?
And get your turret out of the gutter while you're at it!
And that is how tanks get STDs. The sentinel should've put on his big boy tank condom
I imagine that when designing the hull machinegun the designer at first didnt even realize how it would look and when he finaly did he just took the piss and went the extra step to make it as cursed as possible.
This Chieftain guy is golden. I watch every video with him. Informative and funny at the same time. Wargaming, you'd better pay him well.
Nice report. One thing to note. Australia did have heavy industry prior to WW2. Steam locomotive and steel mills in particular. In fact the US war department noted that per capita Australia was one of the top five war supply producing nations in WW2.
they should made a steam tank, usa made one, and it looks awesome, im sure more modern steam engine could haul more then usas first concept.
Good video on a tank not many people have a high degree of knowledge on. And you are right, the bloopers are some of the best stuff in these videos.
This tank looks happy to see you >:D
5:12 Gratuitous use of word "Ballsy", while standing next to machine gun housing. Fnaarfff....
"Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorised Listing" - an official Army acronym.
An in depth look at one of my favorite "What If" tanks of the WW2 era. Thanks for posting!
I am glad that you tell us how to tension tracks and other aspects of maintenance for these vehicles. It is always interesting.
Makes me very proud watching this. Thank you very much for doing this review on the Sentinel.
can't wait for part 2!
WOOOO. STRAYA.
Surplus ones made into Mad Max tractors- Bulldozers m.facebook.com/BATRACInternational/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2315716151817861&_rdr
Always a great pleasure to watch :D And yes, the Blooper reel is always a very enjoyable part of course :D
Thank you for all the amazing videos you put up for us to enjoy! Thank you for all the work and hard work you put into it! I can't wait to see more videos from ya! Keep up the great work! 😁
These videos are getting better and better (and longer and longer too)! Two thumbs up, can't wait for part 2 :)
Shame the release schedule is so long though.
I have been waiting for an upload - thank you! I love Australia's efforts to develop their own tanks and their efforts to build their own British designed planes in WWII. Great video - thumbs up!
Keep up the good work chieftain. I enjoy all these videos and as a proud aussie am very excited to see this tank in more detail. I believe there were 3 marks of this tanks, with the 3rd having a 17pdr
I'm ready for part 2! Thanks for these.
love the work you put into researching these videos keep it up
Been waiting a while to see this one, great vid and really looking forward to seeing inside the Sentinal!
thanks for a new video have missed them. and an interesting tank as well
Yay. New vid. Loved the newly found humor. Keep it up!
the cheiftan. bigger. longer. uncut?
+KcCommie Somewhat cut, but otherwise you're spot on.
Wait...wha..huh?
The Crusaders weren’t a lot of help at Bardia due to their unreliability. By the second day, after the Australian infantry had led the British tanks into the battle, only five were operational. The next day three made it to the end. The British engineers were never able to develop a tank that could cope with desert conditions.
You guys need to check out the Australian Armour and artillery museum in Cairns. They have two. A great museum to visit.
Of relevance. ruclips.net/video/2QLgbTcMV1k/видео.html
This tank had a lot going for it, considering this was the first ever tank a nation of 9 million people produced I think it is a pretty good effort. With a bit of development I think it could have been a really useful tank.
It got that development. Mk1 had a standard Commonwealth 2pdr (40mm) anti-tank gun. Mk IV had a (standard-ish) Commonwealth 17pdr. In order to test whether or not the mounting could handle the recoil of the 17pdr they built a mantlet housing two (2!) short 25pdrs (the short 25pdr was an Australian development designed for weird high angle/low angle short distance engagements such as Papua New Guinea. Basically a mountain gun in British pattern, but utterly unnecessary in Western Europe.
Population of 7.5 million with the sixth largest forces of WWII.
Good looking tank really
Love your sense of humour haha! Another awesome video, more! more!
Damn i love watching these! :) Keep em comming!
As always, great video and all hail RNGesus
Steal is such a harsh word. When I was in the swedish military, it was called innovative procurement. BUT not by the higher ups, they were not used to be on the wrong end of the procurement
In military terms, "STEAL" stands for "Strategic Transfer of Equipment to Alternate Locations" - or, as the Chief has said: "Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorised Listing."
Am I the only one, who would like these videos with much longer runtimes?
again awesome video. an amazing bit of work those aussie's did
If I were to meet Chieftain or Challenger at a pub I'd buy them a pint. Would you?
Let's see how drunk we'd get these poor souls.
+TheLittlestMig don't think i'll buy Challenger a pint. there be various rumours goin about on his incompetence in the EU region, and how he's deteriorating relations with museums
***** Damn. Could you point me a link or something?
TheLittlestMig nothing solid on my side. i'm from SEA with a brief stint in EU, so i'm basing it from what i've heard, and from FTR and RSR
+TheLittlestMig the chief being a former tanker, my bet is he'd drink the poor soul under that table that tried to get him drunk.
id try sounds fun
I found it nice to have a lot of context in this video ! Looks like you're getting more confident in front of the camera too ! Keep it up :)
Blooper reel the most popular part? For me it's the whole entire video, lol
Really late to the party here, but on a minor technicality that's bugged me since I first watched this: Australia did have heavy industry by the late 1930s. What was lacking was light engineering. This was the sort of thing you'd find in automotive industries in the US and UK, but Australia had virtually no auto industry at this time. There was no car manufacture, but some manufacture of parts to supply the local market of imported vehicles. This is why the engines and transmission were a bigger challenge than casting the hull.
I love the Chieftain. He looks like fun and information, what more can you wish for :D
Huh...well that's odd. This was uploaded while I was rewatching a few other episodes of Inside the Chieftain's Hatch. GG, Nick.
I think it would be awesome if WG would let their community contributors know when the Chieftain or the Challenger are going to these museums. They could all get together and climb around the tanks and be WG's official "Tank Crew". Or at least let The Mighty Jingles know when you're at Bovington. I'm willing to bet that he'd be more than happy to meet you guys.
+I'm Amadeus Judge Dredd on the TOG II would be a funny picture lol
excellent video, thank you
Great video Nic, knew I spotted a Sentinel in Bovington.
"is that a machine gun or are you just pleased to see me. "
Australian "tankers" are actually called "tankies".
Love your work +theChieftanWoT.
Cheers.
Also "Turret heads".
Are there any videos exploring armored cars? I'd love to see a video on the sdkfz 234 Puma.
dat jagdtiger in the background
Once again, great video. Would you please make a video on the T95?
I wish you could make video more frequently :D
BK also supplied bolt on armour for M3s, mainly a large piece to beef up the transmission housing. I happen to own an anvil they made (more their usual line - rather than tank armour)
Theres an ACIII "Thunderbolt" (same tank with 25 pounder) at the AWM storage facility in case you havent seen it
Love the bloopers
Very nice :) Any plans for the future to do a feature on the Ram II?
i love your videos
Such a cool look to this tank ventilation fechers are cool
the outtakes are the best bit :D
Had the priviledge of seeing the Sentinal, now at the war memorial, being restored at the apprentice centre Chullora rail yards in the late 80's
Woohoo! New Hatch!
The line "...there was a small incidents in France" got me.
great vid. I wonder right now how the 3 engines worked together. I'm imagining that they ran like one engine, revving together on one shaft into the transmission. I think it's a great looking tank, I'm sure that MG housing was designed to look exactly like that. Someone saw the possibility and the team agreed. I'm sure that it's having fun with the enemy. Yes, it's got a function but no, it doesn't have to look like that. 😂
That armored housing though.
Man I wish I could work on these videos with you, there is so much knowledge... do you need an assistant?
The blooper's are sorta cool, but I needed a spew warning when you described that "old army word and acronym" STEAL dang I about lost it, thanks for the memories ... 1/10th Cav, 4th ID was my first duty station back in 80-81
_"Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorised Listing"_
😂 Brilliant
Sentinel Mania! :)
Having some of the weight being carried by the bogey-bracket itself is actually not a bad concept. If lateral loads could damage the four bolts, having some large pins welded onto the load carrying flange protruding into holes in the bottom of the tank would mitigate the risk of lateral bolt overload.
Btw, you're right about the colour being wrong. As best I recall, Australia used khaki (an equal mix of sage and buff) and olive green. That looks more like mud. :-P
Love the videos Chieftain. Question sir: did the Sentinel suffer from a disproportionately low net horsepower due to the powertrain layout? Or was it a total non-factor?
It was fast, with a top speed of 42mph and very long range.
Why do you need to keep the music on ALL the time? It's fine music (I like it in between segments)...but not ALL of the time, please.
McRocket It’s actually not good music. It is extremely monotonous, it is the exact same thing in every single video, it’s about a 15 second Loop that just repeats and it serves no purpose. It’s also completely unnecessary, the narrator is himself quite interesting enough.
No love for its Commonwealth cousin, the Ram? There are several museum pieces still around, and unlike the Sentinel, it saw full production and some use (just not as a gun tank...)
14:05 Catch 22 best quote ever in the history of English literature.
Hej Nicholas, are you still planning on doing a Inside the Hatch on the IS-3? Btw. is it true that later Versions of the IS-3 used the BL-9 Cannon?
While you're at Bovington, film the Renault FT! The interior is gutted so you could do an "Outside the Chieftain's Hatch."
I hope,one day you show us the Mighty Multibank Engine inside a Firefly.
I have to note the STEAL :D
Thanks for the video,Chieftain.
Great video, shame the in game tank is so rubbish - yet another stellar job from WG balance department. Love this video series, more please!
+james burt
It's a premium tank... if they make it too competitive with normal tanks, they'll get accused of pay-to-win. And it is tier 4, possible the worst tier in WoT.
Australia did a great job developing this tank. How did it stand up in training? Thinking Covenator.
Casted hull, was just quite well thought detail.
Makes a lot difference when you just can push those ones out at as a big volume.
Of course, theory works usually a lot better than in practice, especially when u are adopting foreign desing's, which you just wont produce at large scale.
Idea is quite good, you just have to borrow good things for others. 23 gallons is a lot more than you could expect, also same time those old engines usually had some minor leaking's(that small sweating everywhere) so displacement in coolant and oil is mostly advantage, of course with 3 engines you are converting simple thing to too complicated package .
Just food for thought.
+Fetisisti
Yeah, as an engineer... I have to say all hats off to the chaps that built the system incorporating all 3 engines into a system that works even under heavy loads seen by a tank.
Would love to see you do a Inside the Chieftain's Hatch of a Type 95 Ha-Go like that one in the back.
+Rudofaux I would love to see him do a video of that Jagdtiger at the back as well.
Australia had some of the heaviest industry in the world. We had the largest foundries outside the USSR. That's why, like them, we were able to cast large segments of armour.
MortarRiding couldn’t build an engine though, couldn’t machine a decent turret ring either. We dug up a lot of iron and cast / rolled a lot of structural steel though.
6:40 What a codpiece! Ballsy indeed.
Apparently this sentinel hasn't hit puberty yet
There is one of these in camp mabry in austin, tx. It's outdoors though so its getting into rough shape. =/
@18:58... one thing strikes me... The turret bustle bin is designed to be opened from the front/via the turret.
Living on tanks, in the field... it'll be accessed from the engine deck.
Designers, before users?
To say the Sentinal never 'saw action' in not quite true.
There was a Sentinal mounted on a plinth atop Mt Pleasant (appropriately named) above Duntroon Military College in Canberra that oversaw much backseat action in the 60s/70s.
I, myself, carried out many skirmishes while the Sentinel stood guard.
Ahhh, those memories. I wonder where that tank is now? The plinth is still there.
I know, at this point, that this is a really old video, but I still appreciate Chieftain's understated way of making the obvious dick joke.
Looking at that armoured housing for the machinegun..., it's clearly a cold day at the museum.
Wonder what happens when it sees a Mathilda 😁
Now I feel kinda embarrassed that the Wirraway and Boomerang took the P&W Wasp option away and created that monster of a power pack
Lol as an American I was very confused about 40 degrees being hot...
Jacob Lester ; Yes our 40degrees is Damned hot. It's something like 120, or so in farenheits. I believe you can find similarly pleasant weather in Death Valley.
As to the air inlet / Outlet vent could it be thermosiphon Cooling? although it's going to be a lot of heat in the turret for that too get enough air flow to make a difference just a thought.
Please inside the hatch M13. I really wanna see how Italian tanks were inside
