*Not adding music to cover the engine noise ... someone understands tank lovers.*
Peak ASMR.
Absolutely, drowning out the best part - is a total "bonehead" move; only TH-cam armatures: "click-baiters" do that stuff, lol
Sofilein has way too much class and sensibility for that! : - )
It would be a dream come true if these beasts were in running condition
Not even in a million years 😉
And the cost would be to much to repair the tank back in service since it's only a prototype we don't know where the parts are to even fix this
@@susbox5554 can be remade
With modern night vision and optics
I suspect OEM GAC v12 parts are hard to come by. I suppose a different 650 hp aero-based V12 or commercial diesel might be adapted to fit but bet some obscure part would cost too much or used highly toxic materials.
The T-29 E3 is sweet, wasn't aware of that particular variant till now
As this shows a struggle on level cement pavement, I can well imagine how challenging it would be to retrieve a battle damaged vehicle out on the rough. Even if the tracks were in good shape, hills and mud would present a big challenge.
I expect that the typical recovery plan at the time for if one of these heavy tanks was stuck was to use a second one of these tanks to tow it.
It's so much of a struggle because they are trying to preserve the concrete. If this was a field, it would be much more straight forward.
Having been involved in MBT recoveries from wadis to frozen lakes I can attest that the M88 series can handle what ever mother nature or a careless tank crew can dish out.
@@edwardconway5955 got any stories? :P
I'm surprised that they did not allow you to stand on top of the T29 cracking a bull whip whilst it was towed!
Wearing a comanders helmet 🤣🤘🇺🇸
Jesus you made me snort my tea!
I never tire of hearing the M-88 turbo spool up and down. We had one in Vietnam and the sound is the same today after some 3 upgrades.
Turbos. Two of them
Every time I see a M88A2 all I can think of is "HERCULES! HERCULES! HERCULES!" From the Nutty Professor bwahaha! Awesome video Sofi! Keep up the great work!
LOL, now thats stuck in my head :P
Looking at the M88 from a distance i was thinking "what did they do to that Jagdpanther???"🤣😂🤣
That brings back memories from my days in the German Army. I was a Recovery Troop Leader and Commander of a M88A1GE for about a year and a half. Thats a older and slightly modified version of a M88 for the German Army. Those were some great days.
Thanks for uploading this.
I think that the T29 (and T30) are such good looking monsters. The archetypal American cold war heavy tank shape. Awesome beasts!
I agree. I'd have to say the T29E3 with the 'ears' is my favorite/what I consider to be the best-looking tank of all time.
Same!
I think it looks like a Pershing that needs to go on a diet
@@JarOfDirt. And I'd say the T32 just looks like the Pershing's older brother
somehow a masterpiece of a lot of ants working hand in hand .... great fun to watch
Imagine if these tanks were actually used in combat instead of becoming amazing eye candy...whose to say the war wouldn't have had a different story...
Thanks to the atom bomb, everyone's now scared to go to war. And thus the heavies like this, T34, and M103 heavy never saw action.
@@darnit1944 I think that M-103s did see some service. I can't remember the name of it, but I remember reading in a book that some Marine Corps armored units still had M-103s during the Gulf War. The credibility of this is very doubtful though, as it's not like there weren't enough M-1s to go around by then.
@@DeathHead1358 I believe the M103 was in USMC service, but never in combat.
@RTX3090 SLI owner M103 was in service in 1957. That's after Korea
All that commotion with the plywood, makes a solid base for a new world wide sporting event. Olympic even. I would watch it. For every team member under the tracks - 5 point penalty.
It is so cool that you have been able to get this content and share it with us.
Awesome work as always by the bois at Benning! And fantastic footage by the ever talented Sofilein!
Thanks for your time getting these beasts on video coming home. I miss the turbos screaming, from time to time.. again, thank you!
so nice to see these old warriors finally getting a billet under a roof. theyve earned it!
Always loved my M88 A1, that engine sound was amazing. 12 Cyl Diesel with 4 turbos pumping air diesel mixture through that Continental engine, Just WOW!
Your videos are always awesome, wish I would have found this channel sooner! Thanks for all you and the crew do!🇺🇸
Being from Kentucky. Grand theft armorer is what we call it.
Love your spontaneous excitment at the end, Sofi!
As always an amazing video. Thank you for your commitment in create such awesome content. Thank you, Sofi!!!
I wish I could give this two thumbs up! Just imagine how terrifying meeting these machines on the battlefield would have been!
My favorite experimental US heavy tanks! Would have been awesome if they had actually somehow been produced and deployed although they probably wouldn't have had much of an effect on ww2, the T30 and 34 prolly would've been upgraded to try and counter the IS3 in this theoretical world
Had germany followed the allied timetable (reaching the german border by march 1945 instead of Oct Sept og 1944) they would have seen service.
Thanks Sofilein another great video.
I enjoy watching this stuff! People having the pleasure being part of a team doing this is most rewarding experience I'm sure.Very labour intensive to achieve the ideal layout. Like putting boats in a secure yard for the overnight stay.Cheers
I can see how dedicated this team are ! History is preserved !
Hearing that hercules again brings back the good times of my old armor unit watching them, the abrams, and bradley running around.
This is a fine video Sofilein!
Damn. Even all these years later those tanks still look like they could just get a quick tune up with the mechanics, fire up the engines and start kicking ass and taking names.
Just fantastic machines and phenomenal video!
Another Great Video by our Lady of Armor.
Awesome. Thanks again Sofi; love-those-tanks.
Thanks for sharing. Looks very cool.
Wow. That was neat. Thanks much Sofie.
Yay! Looks nice but looks apparent as to why they weren't in any hurry to field them, logistical nightmares! Moving the Sherman around ez pz! Thanks for sharing this Sofi, and NACC! Seeing it in sunlight moving, and how it got in there, just priceless!
Another awesome vid! Thanks Sofi' That m88 is an absolute beast! Epic content as usual. Been a sub since 1k. Great to see you are well on the way to 100k.
Thank you so much!
Another awesome video, please do not stop uploading them!!
Googly eyes at 27:06!!!
Also, the rest of the video towing that tank would make a good ASMR for tank/armored vehicle enthusiast.
Really cool video and good narration, nice work!
Keep the quality content coming! Likey!
Again the most important possession of a tank museum in action, the one that must remain serviceable at all costs...
Something calming watching this beast being moved around.
continuously surprised by the quality of your content. The T29/T34 are two of my favorite classic American heavy tanks. I definitely enjoy destroying tanks with one shot using this beast's 120mm in War Thunder. I'm always here for more tank content!
I just found your channel and im 19 years old and have never in my life met a girl who liked military history especially tank everytime i love you for that this channel is 10/10 not because of the fact your a girl but the 2 videos i have seen so far have been great on history
Wow i only saw this in game now in reallife.
Thanks you for showing this video.
Never knew the t-29 tank I love so much from war thunder and world of tanks actually existed in real life so dang awesome I have to give it a yee to the haw and a shake n bake bc this tank is one of my all time favorites
I a tank fan and this is awsome, it's like a dream
Great video, Sofi🌹👍😃
Look like they have a small army there in the parking lot. Thanks, Sofi - stay safe
That '88 and the ground crew had a hella workout that day! Thinking of the force it took to snap that tow lug. Still would love a tour of the museum (HINT, HINT)!
Love the sound of a big engine, you need one to move these monsters!
Years ago a buddy in an La. NG unit, they took one of their M88s to a tractor pull =)
It may not be running and it might not have any ammo but that tank is intimidating. Thanks Sofie
man this makes me wish they'd make the thing's engine roar again. it has awed and impressed(?) those at Aberdeen, and still it awes people who see it firsthand.
gotta respect the hustle of those guys throwing the plywood under the tracks as they pulled it inside.
They did a great job and stayed safe
Looking more and more forward to the day that I can visit this place, even if its realistically a few years off.
Harmony church FBGA
Wow , that's fantastic !
Many thanks!
I love the T28 and T29. In War Thunder that 105mm L/65 T5E1/E2 is amazing.
Interesting that the Humvee at 5:06 still has its up-armored doors fitted stateside. Those are heavy but they provide excellent protection from bullets and shrapnel. It also has the deep wading trunk more commonly seen on USMC Humvees.
I miss seeing that T29 out front of the Patton Museum! It’s a beast !
Come on Really!!! I want to go outside and play with Sofi!!! How lucky getting to see these heavy tanks in person!!!
5:19
Thinking about the golf cart as a last resort tow vehicle when all else Fails!
"KILROY WUS HERE!"
"HOME ALIVE IN
'45!"
I will always remember when my M270 A1 got pulled back to the motor pool by one of M88
Sofilein you need your own personal gasser M88. Awesome beyond awesome. Drooling blue flame at idle. Very very hard to find now. Last one I saw at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fall 1974. You'll love it!!!!
It was funny to see the little blue airplane tug in there, because the big flat version of that, the one that tows 747's, that's what Cameron used as an APC in the movie Aliens.
"Welcome Jarl"
Weeell thank you! ;D
Going on 60! hope they get this museum open before I hit 70.
Ok.. You are a Armor nut.. I'll subscribe.
once in life i will love to go and see them
My brother operates the hurcules, man I’d give a limb to hear that T29 engine purring
Awesome
Love that M24
youre AWESOME!
I'm glad to see the return of the googly eyes on the mantlet. I'd definitely have them on my tank if I was a tanker. They're not as cute on just a helmet.
Anyone else notice that poor MBT-70 sitting low to the ground and partially covered in the background? It's looking for an indoor home as well.
The MBT-70 is coming over in the next phase of moving! It too will have a home :)
Update, the mbt is sitting outside the new building already, and will go in as soon as we get the other tanks that she sits next to inside
@@Sofilein Awesome! Every tank deserves a warm garage after a day out in the mud.
Neat!
Beautiful tank!
Wow, she was a beast!
Power!!! Aaargh!!!
Loved the googly eyes
Hope they put a muzzle brake on that T29, looks a little funky without it
i see that Sheridan Prototype in the background ;)
I have this tank in wot and wotb, and I just love it.
I'd like to see the NACC collection someday.
Love those heavys
THKS
The kinetic energy stored in a 60t MBT moving with 5km/h or 3 mp/h roughly is the same energy as ~2l Diesel fuel contain. But the diesel got burned in an engine with only ~33% efficiency, so you need at least to put 5l into the engine to get the that energy into the tank AND you also need to overcome the whole friction resistances of the threads and all the other moving parts AND it takes some time to get the tank up to 5 km/h, so overall it will take 5-10l of diesel to get a 60t tank to 5km/h.
There is a reason, why a tank with over a metric ton of fuel capacity can only move 150km/ 100 miles through rough terrain...
I think it would be cool, if the M88 would get implemented into the SnowRunner game. Along with some extra hard recovery missions.
Well my dear, I am new to your channel...so binge watchin for last week..as ya can imagine. I have to say youve got me intrigued and "Hooked" on the "cut of your jib" so to speak. How did you get this "dream job"? I am jealous in a good way. thnxs for the content.
You are awesome!!,
Wow!
As if that fiberboard wasn't compressed enough :P
hahaha
Those were tree trunks when they started but....🤣
Start of vid - Hmm she is being quite calm about the M88, end of vid - There it is! 😂
Imagine just being calm about the M88
Can't relate to that tbh 😂
No idea what early cold war America was thinking with these huge designs but i like it
the best turret armor >
Hey Sofilein, what is that ear thingy on the turret of the T29? It's looks range finder like that on battleships
THE E3 IS AWESOME!
Good M88 driver.
oooh the armour do be t h i c c
Track tension alright on that M88A2?
I thought they're gonna pull the brakes on the T29 once it's on wood panels, and just slide it around on the smooth conrete.
What do you think of Raytheon's SLEP upgrade program for the old M 60 tank
