We want a collab with Johnathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history and Paul ‘Fam’ Famojuro from the Tank Museum in the UK, which houses the biggest collection of tanks in the world.
You took the copy-paste out of my mouth - how dare you! The public would really love to see Jonathan-Ferguson-aka-Faux-SamLake-as-Max-Payne with this new tank guy!
War Thunder has so many vehicles that you could do episodes of this basically forever, but grinding to unlock all those vehicles would surely drive Dave mad.
There's always the possibility of being given access to a press account with everything pre-unlocked. It'd basically be the only way they could do videos on a lot of event vehicles as well, which would be some of the more interesting vehicles to talk about, like the T18E2 Boarhound or the Churchill AVRE.
12:18: It’s called a Battlewagon. And the Orks don’t usually listen to military practicality. They just slap a ton of guns on whatever they see and roll it out.
they are also still inspired by multi-turret designs of the past, such as the M3 tank or the T-35 (+ the front of a truck, i guess). curious that he didnt bring that up. sounded like they were strapped for time.
I was a crewman on an M1 Abrams-series tank during my service in the US Army. I spent most of my time as a loader; I liked it a lot better than being the driver. Anyway, the fire commands shouted out during fire operations may sound chaotic, but each command is a specific task for a specific crewman to carry out, and everyone on the tank is listening intently for his command, and sharply focussed on completing it rapidly. The observers in the range tower are also listening intently to the fire commands, because they all have to be issued in a specific way at precise times, or the tank loses points on the engagement. I was deployed to the Gulf in 1991, but my unit didn't serve in combat. Still, I have heard recordings of tank crewmen in tank-to-tank combat, and the chatter seems even more chaotic and unintelligible than in live-fire exercises. But you can bet those tankers knew exactly what to do and how to do it; meticulous training in peacetime is everything.
It's pretty cool seeing how a "tank expert" is also a gamer, and seemed to know of even the Leman Russ from 40k. A decade ago pretty much anybody that could be considered a tank expert would have been middle aged or older, and have no idea about any of the video game tanks.
I got put into a tanker position doing my mandatory millitary service and then ended up starting Warthunder again after that and racking up like 500h ours to it after I had first quit at around 90h. And I also do play 40k.
All great tank games, for their own reasons. One thing I love about Gunner HEAT PC is that panic levels change, depending on the situation. If you're in the heat of battle, they're screaming, but while you're doing patrol, it's cool as a cucumber.
yeah, i played that and found it a bit funny how sudden the swaps are but, well, if you're just cruising and a shell bounces off your armor you would probably start instantly freaking out, its just a little funny how quick it goes from "moving north" "potential contact 300 meters west" to "CONTACT CONTACT" "FIRE FIRE FIRE" "LOADING CANNON" "TURN TURN TURN" "WE'RE TAKING FIRE" "LEFT LEFT LEFT" then back to calm again when the contact stops.
During my visit in bovington I had the honour of meeting Fam and do one of their shows with him, he was such a chill and cool guy. Thanks to him a cool day became even cooler, and now even more surreal seeing him here
Loved this video, Paul is an absolutely brilliant host! This video was fantastic for the same reason the ones with Johnathan Ferguson (the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history) are: they actually have knowledge of the games they're looking at in addition to the weapons depicted, which just makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. Definitely would love this to be a series! And if you're looking for more depictions for Paul to look at, I'd love to see him take a look at the tanks from Advance Wars! Each of the 4 nations has tanks stylized from real world ones, plus that game doesn't get enough love.
Would love to see Fam again on this show. I especially liked him going into detail on the experience of the tank crew, whether historical or in the more recent Gunner, Heat, PC. Great video!
Would love to see more Paul! Hes got so much charisma and excitement about what hes talking about. Would absolutely love him to take a look at Foxhole!
pls do more tank expert react. Tank museum in the uk has the biggest tank collection to my knowledge so you could make a entire series about Paul reacting to stuff like war thunder, WOT, battlefield, arma , etc
I use to play a lot of WOT but more of a war thunder bf1, bf4 these days. One game you didnt look at was armoured warfare but overall good look at what is avialble. Squad is on my steam wish list.
Paul has been a wonderful addition to the Tank Museum team. The first video I saw with him, I immediately liked his enthusiasm and clear presentation (whenever I have to present something, there are lots of pauses, "ehhhmmms" and so on, must be super annoying:). So lets hope for more cooperation videos like this one!
Great to see the Tank Museum in your great -rogues gallery- lineup of experts. Especially great to see a younger generation now being represented. Well done Paul, hope to see you in front of the camera, both here and at the tank museum, more often.
And another great expert you managed to get on board Dave. Fantastic job from both of you. I am definitely looking forward to see more content with Paul.
It looks too spacious to be a Conq. If I had to guess it'd be a Challenger 1 turret possibly, based on the hatches at the top, as well as the lack of a significant bustle ammo rack meaning it's not a Challenger 2.
19:30 i thought turrets flying like that only happened in movies and games edit: im glad GHPC got some well-deserved love. the game is only tank-on-tank fights and nothing more (there is a campaign but thats more of the game throwing you into a bunch of different scenarios in and against different vehicles). but its clear its a game made by tank lovers, for tank lovers and that repetitive gameplay is still quite fun for a tank lover like myself
There's quite a bit of footage of Russian tanks tossing their turrets in Ukraine. Some of them get absolutely insane heights: to memory, one got tossed by a tank on the ground and landed on the top of a 2 story building!
Really great video, I used to visit the tank museum in the UK regularly when I lived there with my grandparents during the summers. That was a long time ago now (20 years?) but it was always a fun for me to see all the tanks and compare to things that I was experiencing in games like Call of Duty (Orig) and Medal of Honor.
From what I read, the original Leman Russ models were actually derived from modified French Char tank model kits, but they're not that dissimilar to early British tank design.
This was a great collab, would lvoe to see Fam back on. If you're looking for more interesting games with tank combat, might I reccommend Valkyria Chronicles (1 or 4 are easiest to get footage for)
Another neat thing to mention about the tank battle of Cambrai is one German NCO who (if british and german stories are to be believed) took out (at least) 5 MKVs on his own, after his crew got killed and he remained alone on his 7,7cm field gun. Quite the faceinateing story.
I'm sure somebody in these 550 comments already pointed it out, but: Helldivers tanks are actually vulnerable from the top, regardless of the glowing weak point! Back when I played more, impact grenades from the front or side did basically nothing, but it took only two of them from the top to destroy a tank, regardless of weak point position. The one time I played recently it seemed like I only needed a single one from the top, but I'm not sure if that tank was already damaged.
Should this series continue I would be very interested to see more critique of modelling in games with real tanks, and feasibility of tanks in fiction, for a more in-depth analysis in the same way that Johnathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history does with guns. Good video though :D
I am absolutely disappointed that you haven't talked and shown some of the most iconic tanks of Command & Conquer: Mammoth Tank, Skorpion Tank, Stealth Tank and from the Red Alert series.
Would love to see a more indepth look on warthunder, be awsome to see a comparison of the different modules inside the tanks on warthunder vs real life.
Funny how he opted to say not much about Warthunder and only talked exclusively about the L3, lol But went to length talking WoT's "details" As well as damage models of Squad
It's most likely because of the close ties between the tank museum and world of tanks, they are a major sponsor and even have a small section of their own in the museum
I noticed it too lol.... it's a bit disappointing, using War Thunder in the thumbnail and exclusively talking about a tank that they only added to the video as a snide joke/jab at War Thunder (and is specifically a tank that hasn't been updated in about five years)..... it's a genuinely disappointing choice*. (*SEEING AS World Of Tanks is given FOUR TIMES MORE time even though it's a fraction of the realism in depiction... I HATE a lot of War Thunder/Gaijin's choices, but at least they DO have it possible to do things like oneshot most prems... World Of Tanks is pay to win damage sponges crushing F2P players with nothing you can do against it)
@@sydney4814 the thing is that he didn't talk about game mechanics, he talked about tanks in their collection, during the wot part he only talked about their own tank and how wot used their tank to model off, nothing about how the game plays. During wt he talked about the l3 because clearly the video creator thought that would be the best tank to show. Even during squad when they did talk about mechanics they only glanced over it, so yeah don't take it as a slight. Not to mention many people are against WT for their political stance and financial support of pro-Invasion propagandists. Learn to be critical of the stuff you like, this coming from a wt player
@@ThaGr1mYeah the only real double standard was how short the segment was. Otherwise the entire video was mostly on general portrayal and "vibe" rather than specific mechanics. Hopefully in future videos we can get more into the nitty gritty. War Thunder has some impressive elements that deserve recognition. Squad is obviously going to have some goofy stuff going on because its multiplayer multi-crew, but the simualtion is decent. GHPC is a soft-sim so lots to talk about there. Hopefully we can get Squad 44 covered too because it's by far the most complete and well simulated WW2 tank crew available. It actually forces you to operate with infantry support because of how deadly infantry can be to a tank, especially in close quarters combat and in urban areas.
This is Jhonatan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery from the royal army in UK This is Paul ‘Fam’ Famojuro from the Tank Museum in UK. We are moving from small guns and big cannons into a BIG and heavy steel behemoths
I've know about Bovington for years but this series was how I found out about The Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
14:55 Germany also put into production the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind, which was a Pz IV chassis with an open top AA Turret armed with the 2 cm Flakvierling 38 L/65 (basically 4x 2 cm Flak 38 L/65) (which also went into full production unlike the Skink.)
Here's another fun fact the word tank came from the fact that the project was so top secret they called them water tanks during their coded messages and official documents and the name just stuck
If you can find and play it, M1 Tank Platoon (mid to late 90s game iirc) was as far as I know, the equivalent (for the time) of what DCS is now for aircraft. You played as the platoon leader of a platoon of Abrams (M1 with the 105mm) and you both commanded the platoon, called in support(Apaches, A-10s, mortars, or artillery) and could move between positions on your own tank. I'd love to see a review, and a remaster using modern graphics(and updating to M1A2 SEP V3 with current era missions)
The Baneblade is peak 40k tank design. Incredibly versatile even unmodified, if you add the around 8 other variants it can fill any role...Except an AA role, but that's not a problem when the Imperium have achived Air and Space supremacy, or when there's 4-8 Hydra AA tanks.
Dave is just collecting militaria professionals like they're the infinity gems
Assembling my zombie apocalypse team.
I think hes planning something sinister
This is Dave, keeper of the largest collection experts. Today, he's breaking down scenes of from experts react videos.
It's always good to know where the well armed museums are.
To be fair, once you get one expert the gates are open to getting to know more of them.
Thanks for inviting us to collab with you! We'd be interested to see what other games/tanks Paul could react to 👀
Squad 44
Warthunder
What tank was Paul sitting in for the video?
Moar war thunder tank
I am curious about more fictional tanks, like Red Alert's Apocalypse Tank, Halo's Scorpion, or Planetside 2's Prowler.
We want a collab with Johnathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history and Paul ‘Fam’ Famojuro from the Tank Museum in the UK, which houses the biggest collection of tanks in the world.
You took the copy-paste out of my mouth - how dare you!
The public would really love to see Jonathan-Ferguson-aka-Faux-SamLake-as-Max-Payne with this new tank guy!
Id love to see a collaboration like the ones with Ian and Johnathan where they’re just chilling and talking
Oh, they did on several occasions
show them tanks that just have strapped a yuge artillery gun on top of them
So, we got a gun expert and a tank expert. Now all we need is a plane expert and a boat expert for a combined arms squad.
Plenty of both on TH-cam.
Get drach for the boag stuff, he's great
Get Drachinifel for boats and Rex`s Hangar for planes, though both of them to my knowledge is not a curator at a museum or anything
Get the military aviation history dude
Don't forget a strategist expert.
War Thunder has so many vehicles that you could do episodes of this basically forever, but grinding to unlock all those vehicles would surely drive Dave mad.
As well as actual classified documents showing up on the forums when someone disagrees about how realistic the tanks are.
ATTACK THE D POINT!
@@SiripongPattananititorn I refuse!
@@SiripongPattananititorn I agree!

man one my closest friends being the tank expert on game spot is insane, so proud
Buy him pint mate
@@Dunkopf i will
Could listen to him for hours
Proof?
@@Twiggo_The_Foxxo It's the internet my guy, believe what you want to believe
Its my boy!!!! So surreal seeing one of your closest friends do this series! Go Paul!
I appreciate how this guy actually goes into the history surrounding the stuff mentioned in the game rather than focusing solely on the tanks
12:18: It’s called a Battlewagon. And the Orks don’t usually listen to military practicality. They just slap a ton of guns on whatever they see and roll it out.
its rude to call brits that
Orks listen, but only listen to da biggest ork
I mean Orks also are basically grim dark peter pan, they think angry angry thoughts and the weapons system will work how they think it should.
they are also still inspired by multi-turret designs of the past, such as the M3 tank or the T-35 (+ the front of a truck, i guess). curious that he didnt bring that up. sounded like they were strapped for time.
AND DEN PAINT IT RED SO IT GOES FASTA!!!!

There’s an episode of blackadder set in wW1 where he does indeed get court marshalled for killing a carrier pigeon.
it's not his fault it was plump and delicious looking!
HE KILLED MY SPECKLED JIM ?!?
You mean the FLANDERS PIGEON MURDERER!?
Can't wait for the "Paint Expert Reacts to Weathering in Games" video
texture work is no joke though, I'd watch it
And im sure dave will still somehow manage to sneak a 40k game into that aswell
Paul is awesome. Hope we see more of him on the channel.
Bovington Tank museum definitely worth a visit
*Bovington 😅
@@Tien-Chi😂 it's been a while
Bovington Camp, which is next to Monkey World and a decomissioned nuclear reactor, because no-one's seen Planet of the Apes.
couldnt agree more
10/10 would want to visit again during Tankfest.
It's pretty cool seeing how a "tank expert" is also a gamer, and seemed to know of even the Leman Russ from 40k. A decade ago pretty much anybody that could be considered a tank expert would have been middle aged or older, and have no idea about any of the video game tanks.

As soon as he started talking i knew he was one of the lads, nice vid i enjoyed the weird bits regarding 40k tanks. love to tankies.
Thank you paul for the commentary. Appreciate your knowladge and input
Would love to see Fam again on this show. I especially liked him going into detail on the experience of the tank crew, whether historical or in the more recent Gunner, Heat, PC. Great video!
8:10 GAIJIN!!! Put this variant in the game and my life it's yours!!
Just gonna say the tank museum is a great day out, absolutely incredible collection
You should’ve showed off Squad 44’s tank mechanics. Probably some of the best in gaming in terms of realism.
Would love to see more Paul! Hes got so much charisma and excitement about what hes talking about. Would absolutely love him to take a look at Foxhole!
you mean Paul ‘Fam’ Famojuro from the Tank Museum in the UK, which houses the biggest collection of tanks in the world?
i love to see GHPC included. soooo underrate and the voice acting is unmatched
Fam Doing us all proud here at the museum, What a bloke
pls do more tank expert react. Tank museum in the uk has the biggest tank collection to my knowledge so you could make a entire series about Paul reacting to stuff like war thunder, WOT, battlefield, arma , etc
Really great mix of expertise and just having fun. I like how much knowledge Paul brings while also just having fun seeing tanks from games xD
Cool to see Fam the Tank Man here!
babe new jonathan ferguson just dropped...
He's looking a bit tanned here
@turnip5359 maybe it's his new haircut?
I use to play a lot of WOT but more of a war thunder bf1, bf4 these days. One game you didnt look at was armoured warfare but overall good look at what is avialble. Squad is on my steam wish list.
This guy was great, i always love it when they are actual fans of the game they're talking about
Love when an expert is chill and highlights the cool or interesting parts of games rather than just scoffing. Looking forward to more tank videos
Paul has been a wonderful addition to the Tank Museum team. The first video I saw with him, I immediately liked his enthusiasm and clear presentation (whenever I have to present something, there are lots of pauses, "ehhhmmms" and so on, must be super annoying:). So lets hope for more cooperation videos like this one!
"Hey, Blitzwing! Tank you! Ahahahahahahaha!" - Warpath from Transformers G1 series
Great to see the Tank Museum in your great -rogues gallery- lineup of experts. Especially great to see a younger generation now being represented. Well done Paul, hope to see you in front of the camera, both here and at the tank museum, more often.
And another great expert you managed to get on board Dave. Fantastic job from both of you. I am definitely looking forward to see more content with Paul.
Ah it's Paul! Got to ride with him in an FV432 at The Tank Museum. Great chap :D
Got distracted by the turret Paul was sat in. Is that Conqueror? Fantastic location for it.
It looks too spacious to be a Conq.
If I had to guess it'd be a Challenger 1 turret possibly, based on the hatches at the top, as well as the lack of a significant bustle ammo rack meaning it's not a Challenger 2.
Looks like a Challenger for sure. That 120mm HESH projectile is a giveaway along with some ammo stowage in the back
Been following Paul for awhile now, he is very knowledgeable and easy to listen to, great guy.
what a great expert. enjoyed the pace and information provided. The story about the crew surviving the 70+ rpgs is wild. good video!
No love for Panzer Knights? Valkeria Chronicles and such?
the wh40k baneblades have of total of 11 barrels for their standard configuration/model, though it can differ depending on configuration/model
Not enuff dakka.

Great to see GHPC in this video 👌👍
Loved this, would be nice to see more videos in the future. Tank Museum already is a great channel so well done featuring them.
Great video!
What a great host Paul is.
Would recommend having him look at the tanks of Valkyria Chronicles as well
Underrated comment
You can definitely keep him on the Channel! This was quite informative and very interesting.
19:30 i thought turrets flying like that only happened in movies and games
edit: im glad GHPC got some well-deserved love.
the game is only tank-on-tank fights and nothing more (there is a campaign but thats more of the game throwing you into a bunch of different scenarios in and against different vehicles). but its clear its a game made by tank lovers, for tank lovers and that repetitive gameplay is still quite fun for a tank lover like myself
Btw german leopards also can throw their turrets. It can be seen in photos from 2019
If you check their official youtube you can see a teaser for their initial implementation of infantry on their latest dev stream.
There's quite a bit of footage of Russian tanks tossing their turrets in Ukraine. Some of them get absolutely insane heights: to memory, one got tossed by a tank on the ground and landed on the top of a 2 story building!
Coincidentally the Challenger 2 also popped its turret in Ukraine too.
I like this guy, hope to see more of Paul.
This was great, I hope we can look at some Command and Conquer tanks at some point
and those in CC: Red Alert series.
Really great video, I used to visit the tank museum in the UK regularly when I lived there with my grandparents during the summers.

You played as the platoon leader of a platoon of Abrams (M1 with the 105mm) and you both commanded the platoon, called in support(Apaches, A-10s, mortars, or artillery) and could move between positions on your own tank. I'd love to see a review, and a remaster using modern graphics(and updating to M1A2 SEP V3 with current era missions)
would love to see more of this guy on the channel in the future
fam is a legend and tanks are my passion, best vid youve done!!!
The Challenger 2 that survived 70 rpg hits is unfortunately a myth
Yes. It survived 17, not 70. Easy mistake to make when a story travels via word of mouth.
There's potential here for more Tank Expert Reacts alongside Firearms Expert Reacts.
Great episode! Would love Dave to get someone from Duxford air museum on for an episode as well
The Baneblade is peak 40k tank design. Incredibly versatile even unmodified, if you add the around 8 other variants it can fill any role...Except an AA role, but that's not a problem when the Imperium have achived Air and Space supremacy, or when there's 4-8 Hydra AA tanks.
Please look at Squad 44's Tank Mechanics.
