    Gaijin Entertainment, makers of the game War Thunder, flew me out to Texas to try out some authentic WWII tanks. They then CHALLENGED me to compare the in-game tanks with the real things. So, how does their virtual MMO tank warfare game stack up on the battlefield of Game Theory? Time to FIND OUT!

      I dont think its such a bad idea. A couple of my friends were trained in the army as combat engineers meant to support tanks. They would drive around the back line of tanks in armored personnel carriers and when tanks break down, get bogged, get their engine shot. They would come in with a smoke pot to cover the area as they either fix or tow the tanks away. Think abt it if "medic" tanks were introduced as well.

      well, yes, but German heavy armor was notoriously unreliable and very difficult to repair in the field. they had to take their tanks to a shop just to get the engine overhauled. just like the British Leyland L60 engine in the Chieftain. Russia just built a lot of tanks that were "good enough." Germany got out produced by the allies. Sure, they had some of the best tank designs of the war by about 1942, but they just didn't have the time or resources to build enough of them. they simply got overwhelmed by the amount of shermans, T-34s and KV series tanks.

      High Octane fuel just means that it doesn't pre detonate when the fuel flows into the combustion chamber, the hotter the motor gets the more likely a pre-detonation of gasoline is likely to occur. As you can imagine an airplane engine gets incredibly hot because it is air cooled and has to move tons and tons of tank.

    Wait what? The original Sherman wasn't designed for Tank to Tank combat. In fact the US didn't really have a tank to tank designed tank until the Pershing. I don't think.They made do on the variants of Sherman, and the Hellcats and Jackson Tank Destroyer. They believed that speed was key.

    • @peterson7082
      @peterson7082 7 лет назад +1

      Comparing the small-hatch M4(75) to the Ausf.H, the PanzerKampfwagen offered no advantages in frontal combat other than the Commander's visibility closed hatch. It did not out do the M4 in mobility, it did not out do it in armor, it did not out do it in reliability, it did not out do it in serviceability, crew survival or anything else.
      Early M4A1(75)s against the earlier variants of the PanzerKampfwagen IV generally slaughtered them in frontal combat. The 75mm gun M3 being the only gun to combat the German tanks at ranges in excess of 1,500m until Ausf.G and H entered service in appreciable numbers until later '43.

    • @misspurdy27288
      @misspurdy27288 7 лет назад +1

      Nathan Peterson the early models were, to be honest, not really good at AT in general, but they had good HE shells. The long barreled models were much better, they couldn't take a hit from a sherman sure, but the sherman couldnt take a hit from them either.

    • @peterson7082
      @peterson7082 7 лет назад

      Truestm In what regards? They could sufficiently deal with any British cruiser or captured Italian tank of the era.
      The M4 was quoted as being capable of dealing with the 5,0cm PaK 38 frontally at about 200m based on memoirs of D.A.K. gun crews. The M4 could knock the then current variants of the III and IV at ranges in excess of 1,500m, that's a huge gap. The KwK 40 L/43 and L/48 though superior in armor penetration to either the 75mm M2 or M3, offered no advantage in frontal engagement.

      Firebolt1089 *could* is true, but *would* is never in any variation of combat conditions assured.
      According to a study done by the German Armor/Armament Proving and acquisition facilities *Waffenamt-Prufwesen I* in 1943, from what is presumed to be a small hatch M4 or M4A1, if angled at or beyond 30 degrees sideways, was practically immune to all German tank and anti-tank guns up to and including 1943. With the exception of the 7,5cm KwK 42 l/70's Panzergranate 40/42, below 50m. This included the Tiger's 8,8cm KwK 36 l/56.

    • @Firebolt193
      @Firebolt193 7 лет назад +3

      Do you have a link to some site with the study? Although it is true that if angled enough (Maybe 45* or so), a Sherman could *theoretically* bounce a Tiger shell, not a lot of records exist of Shermans bouncing Tiger shells. The only instance I know of a Sherman bouncing a Tiger shell was during the battle of the Bulge, when a shell from a Jagdtiger (128mm, not 88mm here though) came at an extremely steep angle at a Sherman and bounced. The shells trajectory was nearly parallel to the Shermans armour, and it bounced off it's rear. In all, you'd have to have a Jumbo variant Sherman to have a hope of bouncing a Tiger shell mostly.

      Firebolt1089 The combined mass and kinetic energy of the two piece ammunition, 62lb (28kg) from the 12,8cm PaK 80 l/55 is not the same as the 24lb (10.9kg) round from the 8,8cm KwK 36 l/56.
      The figures concern the UFP only of the M4 in question. Other figures show aiming at the side of the turret it would penetrate out to 1,800m, and 2,300m for the side portion of the nose casting.
      The figures come from this book:

    Although I can’t directly blame MattPat for this as it *was* and is a huge myth, what he said about Shermans in this video is wrong. The myth that the Shermans were unreliable and bad tanks really only can be said accurately about earlier models. Most later models didn’t use the radial engine, and most of the fire problems actually came from improper ammunition storage (a problem that received a temporary fix in the form of additional armor near the ammo racks, and a long term fix in the form of wet ammunition storage). For the most part they were fairly reliable, easy to fix, and effective.
    P.S. “Ronson” was not a wartime nick name, as the slogan “Lights first every time.” wasn’t used until the 50s.

    Mattpat, try harder. The Sherman was not designed for tank to tank combat, that was for the tank destroyers and only the tank destroyers. US WWII doctrines made it very clear that tanks were for supporting infantry, helping to assault fortified positions, etc, and the tank destroyer divisions where the ones that killed tanks. Germany, on the other hand, made tanks to kill tanks and tank destroyers to also kill tanks, which is why the later Pz. IVs, all Panthers, and Tigers were made with tank combat in mind, they had a lot of armour on the front and big guns capable of doing quite a number to enemy vehicles from extreme ranges. If you want Sherman tanks that were built with more respect for tank vs tank combat, look towards the M4A3E8 "Easy 8" and the British modified M4A1 and M4A5 variants with a 17 lber gun named the "Firefly".

    • @yomooma
      @yomooma 9 лет назад +5

      The Panzer IV was also originally conceived as an infantry support tank, it wasn't until the F2 variant that it received a long-barrel gun. Neither was the Tiger built for tank combat, it was a breakthrough tank, intended to destroy anything in it's path and create openings for lighter forces to exploit.

    • @TheDireLynx
      @TheDireLynx 9 лет назад +2

      Gabe Tecot
      I know about the Pz. IV being conceived as a support tank with the Pz. III as the main tank to counter tanks, but as for the Tiger...
      The reason the Tiger had the 8.8cm KwK 36 was because the Flak 8.8 was found to be exceptionally effective against _tanks_, and furthermore the reason it had 100/80mm of armour front/sides is because most allied vehicles would have extreme difficulty defeating that kind of armour.
      The Tiger was designed to be an absolute menace to counter the T-34s and M4 Shermans, which is why they sacraficed production speeds compared to vehicles like the Pz. IV and Panther, the latter of course having a much simpler final drive than what was originally intended for it, leading to it's reputation as a mechanical nightmare. When the Panther was designed, they wanted to have a good, fast tank that could also be produced in huge quantities, the Tiger, however, was just designed to kill.
      If you want a breakthrough vehicle, it needs to be a vehicle that can survive tank combat and kill tanks, otherwise you won't be breaking through too many places. German designers understood that.

    • @TheDireLynx
      @TheDireLynx 9 лет назад

      Dr.Awesome :D
      No, sorry, he didn't. He said the M4 Sherman was designed with tank combat in mind. He also mentioned the gyroscope they installed in later Shermans, however it wasn't particularly amazing and couldn't hold a candle to the Panther's ability to fire on the move thanks to it's torsion bar suspention that made rolling over rough terrain feel more like floating through the air. The entire tank was quite stable while moving, especially compared to tanks like the M4 Sherman.

    The flammability of the Sherman is a mere myth and a false one perpetuated by people who did not fight in them or work on them. As for faulty Shermans, most of the ones that broke down were the M4s with radial plane engines. The spark plugs on those tanks were prone to fowling when idling. Later models with twin v8's fixed this problem. Plus Gaijin has screwed up the 76mm models of the Sherman.

    My first and main thought watching this 9 years later?
    "God did the game look awful and gross back then" i actually cant believe it looked like that when looking at it now. Crazy. Also completely forgot he ever made a war thunder theory...really curious how true to realism the dev team is holding up to nowadays.

      This sounded like an extra episode. I wouldn't worry, plus Deadlock is awesome. They still know what they are doing.

      Um, it is.
      Well, actually it's not but it's a THEORY about if their tanks from the game are 100% accurate however mat might have put up this vid because of a different reason.

      crystal blaze in comparison to his other seemingly absolute random titles that arouse the initial interest and hook you into a theory; a conspiracy, with strong supporting evidence eventually making you beyond persuaded, a believer- this video was the FIRST "theory" that i wasn't blown away by. the kind of apathy an audience has with a narrator stating the obvious.

      This is a game theory idiotic Tank user...This helps both Tank users to be aware and developers to know no realistic their games can get

    how to avoid being shot by tank:
    Beg for mercy.
    And make sure they pity you by crying.

    In battlefield 1, horses are tougher then tanks! If I'm in war I want a frikkin battle horse, not a tank.

      FlaminSkull. Battlefield doesn't need a theory because we all know it's impossibly unrealistic.

      Marcel Huchwajda Except political power and grand strategy. Eventually mate, at the start of WW1 there was no Poland due to it being partitioned, way before the hayday of tanks in WW2. And in WW2, German tanks blitzed right through the Poles.

    Malfunctions?? Dont even talk about the Sherman. The Soviet T34 had so many Units build crudely that only 9% where without major defects.
