Wow, this is one of the most unique and promising games I've seen as of late! I just hope it does not suffer from backlash and bug-pocoplypse that has plagued other games that have been released lately.
Commander: "I ordered a dozen war wagons and you sent me a dozen chuck wagons!" Logistics: "Sorry dude. You want to send them back?" Commander: "Wait. Are they carrying borscht?"
wagon mounted machine guns were used by both the british and boers during the boer war, with some large wagons mounting 3 guns and having rudimentary wooden armour sides with metal plates bolted to them. they were used on the move and as static defence positions, not just as transportation.
A tachanka was a horse-drawn cart or an open wagon with a heavy machine gun mounted on the rear side. A tachanka could be pulled by two to four horses and required a crew of two or three. A number of sources attribute its invention to Nestor Makhno.
Imagine being a German soldier in the early stages of the war on the eastern front in WW2 and you see a horse drawn waggon with a machine gun mounted on it speeding towards you
@@titanjakob1056 Tbh I like the lmg out of the turret. But they should have a option to keep the turret stand but then disconnect the lmg out of said turret
A great video as always Simple History especially about the lesser known weapons and events. The Tachanka is essentially the Russian ancestor of the Technicals used by the Chadian armed forces and insurgents in the Middle East.
Since you cover this type of things, I would like a video about generally unkown tactics. I am Greek, I know a lot of people that think the way of fighting was just phalanx with soldiers creating a moving wall of shields, but there were a lot of ways to face different situations. One tactic for example, when facing cavarly, Greeks sometimes were lying down, and cover themselfes with shields, while pointing swords to the horses. I would really like to learn more for uncovitional ways of war in general. Very interesting topic.
Maybe I can tell you about the military affairs and tactics of the ancient Sakha (Yakuts)? I am Sakha (Yakut), and I know that this is a little-known topic, but I can tell you quite a lot. This is a people who arose in the 10th-13th centuries in Northeast Asia from Turkic-speaking and Mongol-speaking tribes. They were divided into clans, these clans fought internecine wars, each clan had its own army and leader. The warriors were mostly mounted, well trained, their weapons were a composite bow, a spear, a batas (similar to a naginata), a kylys (broadsword), they were dressed in iron armor and carried round shields. These warriors were called Bege, they were rich aristocratic warriors. There were also Khara - light cavalry, militia, they did not have long-bladed weapons and iron armor, they wore leather armor. Particularly accurate archers were assigned to Bergen units. The only type of infantry were the Khosuun - warrior-hunters with bows, spears, batas, batyya (light version of the batas) and knives; they did not wear armor and moved on skis in winter. In these few armies, reconnaissance was well established - the enemy did not see them, but they saw the enemy, field reconnaissance was carried out by the Khosuun and agents among the local population. The cavalry, thanks to its mobility, moved quickly and far, delivering powerful blows. They fired from composite bows, weakening the enemy and finishing off the weakened enemy with a ramming blow. If the rider was knocked down and his horse killed, he turned into a very dangerous foot warrior. Iron lemellar armor protected well from arrows and cutting/slashing weapons, which gave a huge advantage over tribes unable to process metals, and a round shield added protection.

Припев: Эх, тачанка-полтавчанка, Наша гордость и краса, Пулеметная тачанка, Все четыре колеса!
Cavalry units with machineguns in tow were a part of the armies of other Great Powers as well. Cavalry had already started a transition to mounted infantry, and a few machineguns in tow is about as mobile.
Back then it was called: Tachanka a horse driven carriage with maxim mg variant on the back. Now we call them Technical or Toyota with big mg on the back, with a lunatic gunner on the gun and driven by horse powered engine.
For your information, according to one version, Przewalski's wild horses were mostly destroyed by tachanka. It was like this: a herd of wild horses, frightened by people, was overtaken by machine-gun crews of wheelbarrows, and they shot them with machine guns. People did it because of hunger, but because of such technical equipment of "hunters" - it led to the brink of destruction of such unique representatives of wildlife. P.S. I hope I managed to convey the essence of the text to you. I rechecked the text several times. I apologize in advance for possible mistakes and insults, I used an Internet translator.

To be honest it would be nice to see Polish-Bolshevik War of 1919-1920 in Battlefield 1 altogether. It was a little like WW1, but with less stalemate, more guerilla warfare and much more calvary.
The precursor to the modern Technical, if not directly, having similar names as well. An interesting and ingenious take on an ancient design. But also the chariot of the God Tachanka himself. All hail our glorious God himself!

Commander: "I ordered a dozen war wagons and you sent me a dozen chuck wagons!"
Logistics: "Sorry dude. You want to send them back?"

And this is how the Tactical vehicles were born.
Now they mount anything from 20 and 37mm cannons on them, to recoiless rifles.

Necessity is the mother of invention

I did not know that. Thank you for the info!
A tachanka was a horse-drawn cart or an open wagon with a heavy machine gun mounted on the rear side. A tachanka could be pulled by two to four horses and required a crew of two or three.
A number of sources attribute its invention to Nestor Makhno.
Makhno's army relied so heavily on the use of Tachanka that some Makhnovists called themselves and their fellow troops the "Republic on Tachanki."
Imagine being a German soldier in the early stages of the war on the eastern front in WW2 and you see a horse drawn waggon with a machine gun mounted on it speeding towards you
It's so funny to see the machine gun fired so hard that the recoil removed both the gun and the gunner off the cart at around 7:54. LOL
The recoil was too powerful.

The Tachanka, also known as the Soviet Christmas sleigh 🚬🗿🚩
Theres also a Russian folk song about Tachanka that is quite lit!
And that's exactly how I found out about Tachanka in the first place, by pure accident. Now you made me want to listen to it again. 😵💫
Ты лети с дороги, птица,
Зверь, с дороги уходи!
Видишь, облако клубится,
Кони мчатся впереди!
И с налета, с поворота,
По цепи врагов густой
Застрочит из пулемета
Пулеметчик молодой.
Припев:
Эх, тачанка-ростовчанка,
Наша гордость и краса,
Конармейская тачанка,
Все четыре колеса!
Эх, за Волгой и за Доном
Мчался степью золотой
Загорелый, запыленный
Пулеметчик молодой.
И неслась неудержимо
С гривой рыжего коня
Грива ветра, грива дыма,
Грива бури и огня.
Припев:
Эх, тачанка-киевлянка,
Наша гордость и краса,
Комсомольская тачанка,
Все четыре колеса!
По земле грохочут танки,
Самолеты петли вьют,
О буденновской тачанке
В небе летчики поют.
И врагу поныне снится
Дождь свинцовый и густой
Боевая колесница,
Пулеметчик молодой.
Припев:
Эх, тачанка-полтавчанка,
Наша гордость и краса,
Пулеметная тачанка,
Все четыре колеса!

Moment of silence for all the horses that died in WWI & WWII😔
If I had this while playing Oregon Trail....I think I could have finished the game.
You aren't the only one.
*The Czechoslovak Legion approves.*
7:52
The devs really needs to fix it didnt they?
Then they became a Rainbow Six gigachad class.
Sounds like Tachanka got themselves some upgrades.
0:15 Santa is happy for his new wagon will be armored?
7:53 what 💀
7;52, it also provided its users with s slight levitation effect
4:00 the equivalent of video game teabagging
This would've been cool to play with in Battlefield 1
"The enemies are being reinforced with a Tachanka"
Yep, the Eastern Front maps would have been perfect to introduce horse drawn carriages with MGs, it'd be BF1's answer to BFV's Universal Carrier
Can’t wait for the fire grenade launcher machine gun being carried by a horse update.
For your information, according to one version, Przewalski's wild horses were mostly destroyed by tachanka. It was like this: a herd of wild horses, frightened by people, was overtaken by machine-gun crews of wheelbarrows, and they shot them with machine guns.

That last train home game doesnt look like a sponsor slop cashgrab like they usually are, might give it a try
I like that mounting a machine gun in the back of an open bed transport is a concept that has not changed for over a century
Fun Fact: not a single horse was killed in the making of this video!
I wonder if this is where the planet Tuchanka on Mass Effect 2 got it's name?
I like how there is casually the "Tachanka" then there are m3 scout cars in the background with red army dudes. Or Early BTRS.
Y'all animation cracks me up sometimes 😂 👍Keep up the great videos
*I always like this format. Interesting to see what people can come up with in war.*
Grand Daddy of all technicals. Excellent vid and animation!
The real reason the Tsar tank failed was they couldn't find a horse big enough.

Gatling Gun?
Our Lord and Savior Tachanka
Pretty sure I’ve seen Arthur Morgan use these now and again
I knew the German standing on the horse is real
Makhno mentioned! Let's go!
These things were like... the first ever IFV
I watched a video earlier of some tractor with long steering poles like a lawnmower with a wagon with a .50cal on it. It looked like a fun project.
Ah yes. The vehicle so idolized by the Red Army, they made a song about it
They make songs about EVERYTHING there. Heck, back when I played piano, I practiced playing one about PRETZELS.
Technology in war has come a long way
I love how the sponsor's trailer is live action
It's not as simple as "oh technological age yada yada" it was different place, different power level.
What a coincidence! Im downloading the Last Train as im watching this! lol
I love listening to your videos at work
Fun fact: there is a song about this single cart and it is a BOP
The precursor to the modern Technical, if not directly, having similar names as well. An interesting and ingenious take on an ancient design.
But also the chariot of the God Tachanka himself. All hail our glorious God himself!
They were sometimes tactical and sometimes tasty!
Sponsorship is from 1:43 - 3:32 .
So tachanka played battlefield 1 in his free time
Of all things, a wagon mounted machine gun is something I am surprised by people coming up with, lol
Man, leave it Russians to get the best backwater gear that works outside of US Joes.

Praise the machine guns, love the machine guns.
Look at the machine gunner😂 7:46 in video don’t know wath he is smoking but i Want some🤣😆😅😂
Its a Technical, 100 years ahead of its time.
These days they use Toyota
Hilarious episode..and thanks for not killing any horses 🐎
Do a full video of Nestor Ivanovich Makhno please!
Toyota Technical: "Dedushka?"
7:53 what is bro moving away the gun js so fast that it can make tbe user fly away from harm 😂
The "tachanka" is actually not a russian/bolshevik "development". The rebels of Nestor Makhno in Ukraine were the first to use them.
Dude... It's just a machine gun mounted on a wagon. It's not like very fucking big scientific development.
HONEY WAKE UP! SIMPLE HISTORY POSTED!
