“Guys I’m not a weeb I swear.” - Increasingly nervous Potential History-san
reminds me of when JoshScorcher got bullied for being a brony when he wasn't one
and then he eventually caved in and now it's one of his main topics
I'm glad to see someone said it.
When did he say that?
I like your profile picture
Its Potential History *Chan*
This isn't the collaboration we deserve, but it is one we needed, and it's glorious.
grorious*
Remember when he just started this channel
@@chairmeme6231 ah the good ol days when he was still new
Ancient times
What? You say we should attach bayonets to our tanks?
*APPROVED*
I guess go *BANZAI* with Japanese tanks and try to stab American tanks..... Oh wait you can't, the Shermans have better armor. Okay so try to stab American soldiers?..
Yuki Takeda: It'll make a great chopping tool but brittle as a penetrating tool. So no tank banzai, but will be great for sashimi slicing
If only gunpowder haven't been invented our tanks would be mounting giant lances right now! Curses!
wait until Panzerjagd no Fantasia anime releashed next year
But what if it had spandau machine gun that fired fire arrows ???
The Chieftain and ww2 guy with lizard on his shoulder. My favorite anime crossover
i just call him Dank History Guy
@Calcium potentially a historian
hey
praise the omnissiah
I demand a historical analysis of Panzermadels: Tank Dating Simulator.
@Prussian Eagle She's got a nice armored skirt.
Well he does have experience inside tanks
Your Average pull yea he knows how to load that gun
yes.
just say it: you like them THICC
Several commenters that are smarter than me pointed out that the rear hatch is probably used to remove the gun and that makes a lot of sense given how the gun is mounted internally and couldn't be taken out of the front. Thanks guys!
For anyone interested, I have a few albums of the inside of the Type 97 on my Facebook and tumblr pages if you want to take a look. Links are in the description.
If you are feeling brave, make a drinking game out of this where you drink every time I say "Umm". If you don't die by the end of the video, you win.

Dreams coming true
*Starts watching the video and hears the Evangelion theme playing*
"Did I click the right video?"
*a few minutes later sees THE Tank God*
"Huh, intriguing."
but highly disturbing
@@syaondri oh no im just now highly amused that he says how he doesn't like anime but very slowly it looks like he is.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
i personally hear Battotai.
Considering you’re near Indiana, how about a video on the U.S.S. Indianapolis?
Great vid, btw
The meme ship herself.
"I've been learning conversational German."
Great! Now you can tell even more people exactly how shit the Ferdinand was!
Hold up bucko that is pretty controversial german
Congrats Johnny, you finally did it! You finally got The Tank God himself in the show! How did you manage to do it?
He sent me a message and asked
Oh, I should have figured. Derp
Lol. That Tank God, himself, answered.
paid actor!
The_Chieftain next time you’re in rock island let me know lol I’ll go to the arsenal and shake your hand
Awesome, I wasn't expecting another episode but I ain't complaining.
It even had tank Jesus
We will follow your tracks to victory.
KV-85 is better then t-34 85
Tank Jesus has recognized the first prophet Jonny
The Chieftain and Potential History? I'm here.
Glad I know how to tension this tank's tracks. I thought I could just yell "Americans!" and it woudl tension up
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
When you finally get so big you collaborate with the chieftain.
SHINJI GET IN THE TANK
Hahahahaha
Whose helping him crew? Asuka and Rei? Better keep Karwou out.
*i was just thinkin bout you potent history . thank you*
The 'here in my garage' made me spit my tea out snickering, well played sir.
never clicked a notification faster
Very nice video on the shinhoto chi ha it’s my favorite world war 2 tank, it would be nice if some Japanese tanks can get some love and be completely restored one day.
Adam Hanes no offense, but you're mental
i saw videos of atleast two of them running
tataveve_angel 大火 You are correct there is one shinhoto chi ha running in a museum in Moscow Russia that was assembled form a bunch of destroyed type 97s and eventually they got all the parts to restore one to running condition and I have heard of a private museum in the United States having one in running condition as well though I don’t know if it’s a shinhoto chi ha or an original with the 57mm gun.
Agreed. Japan due to a shortage of raw materials tended to sweat the tiny details and micro design every aspect of their tanks and air craft. They weren't always the best, but pound for pound, they were great.
@@adamhanes4431 I saw one in Japan too but we were not sure if it was a replica a restored one
Do the Chinese aircraft meme
th-cam.com/video/8cDttqKRHdM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MilitaryHistoryVisualized
there you go
Those Chinese biplanes are shit
1 they’re slow biplanes
2 most importantly they’re ”made in China”
''StIlL BeTtEr ThAn O-i''
Bhaha! You couldn't even build a tank for fuck sake LuL
The aircraft carriers are definitely bad
Conservative bastard
Awesome video! As a kid back in the 70s the lack of decent information about Japanese tanks was so frustrating that I pretty much put them out of my mind. You have given me priceless knowledge.
12:10 There were also AP rounds for the type 1 47mm gun which could in fact penetrate a M4 Sherman tank frontally at 800 yards. Around 800 yards, The AP rounds had 58mm or 2.28 inches of penetration. The frontal hull thickness of most m4 shermans was around 51mm or 2 inches so given the right ammo, the type 1 47mm could definitely penetrate M4 Sherman's from the front. This was sourced from U.S army's "20 July 1945. Report No. 12-b(52), USSBS Index Section 6" report.
If it was using the very rare Japanese type of APCR. In most cases of tank battles I can't penetrate the Sherman. A similar battle that took place where 3 Chi-Ha and 3 Sherman's. When the last Sherman turned it's fron armor below 500 yards. It didn't go through.
So beign the Gunner is basicly getting spooned by a sweaty japanese guy in a metal death trap somewhere on an island.
there's a reason why gay chicken is the official sport of lower enlisted worldwide
@@bobmcbob49 it can't be gay chicken, none of these guys are chickening out! I sucked three dicks already
Best video by far. Love the content you create. Keep up the good work mate.
Jonny, ask Wargaming if you can be put into WoT or WoWs as a Crew Member or Captain, we need you in our games.

So, uh, it looks like this tank's asbestos internal lining is still intact. I hope you were careful not to disturb it!
yeah, only in the very front, we made what we had to do quick and got out when we realized.
Amazing how they used that stuff all over the place for decades and people didn't just keel over dead every time they got near it, considering people seem to consider it somewhere in the vicinity of chlorine gas or radioactive waste. Unless every Japanese tank member in WW2 died of lung disease after spending days and weeks in those machines, I wouldn't worry too much.
DAMN BOI THATS A THICC “TANK”

One day ago
Me:Excuse me wtf?
Xioas_1 Better than Tank Chats? Ah hell no. I don't believe your imperialism
i feel like the food stains on your shirt really add to the gritty realism
Amazing that you got the Chieftain to collaborate. Love the channel!
he even included the track tensioning this is truly a wannabe's hatch
Another tank meme video? Time to get the lotion ...
"It puts the lotion in the turret basket"
Wow, that special guest thing really surprised me. Super congrats for ascending from fanboy to friends (or at least acquaintance) with THE Chieftain.
Watanabe says "Tank you"
Oh god... As soon as the video ended a Tia Lopez advert came on 🤣
HE KNOWS! HE HAS THE KNOWLEDGE!
AHHHH, you got The Chieftain on your show!! Its wonderful to see you get noticed for you content by the man himself!
The Tank is also called The super Banzai Charger
I think it'd be interesting to do a video on what kind of requirements someone would have to meet in order to operate a tank.

Only parents will get this joke
I only recognize this joke from E;r’s video on Death Note
Which everyone should watch by the way
Yor're doing gods work man, which is being great at teaching history and then adding the perfect amount of dank meymeys
If the Chieftain is Tank Jesus, I guess that makes you Tank Peter? Or Tank Paul? Idk Christian mythology very well.
Judas
I'd say Peter, they worked well together
Tank Holy Spirit
No, the chieftain is the tank god, so that makes him tank Jesus who came from the composite armoured heaven to bless us and pardon our blasphemies against japanese, french, wunderwaffen and the holy trinity from armour, mobility and firepower
Amen
Gafe León Amen.
So, who or what would be the Holy Spirit?
the part with "here in my garage" was so funny!!!!!!
* *gets advert for Japanese airline* *
This feels like a big improvement from your first Inside the Hatch video, and it was very enjoyable, overall!
This channel by far has the most potential of any i currently follow
finally a high Production Video from Potential History
T H I C C M E M E D A D D Y
🍆👌
Here in my garage, got this new type 97. Fun to drive around southeast asia. But do you know what i like more than this type 97? knowledge! so head over to skillshare 2 git sum!!11!1!!!
I would merge my consciousness with this man but lose my soul just to experience the full meme knowledge he has. God bless and I'm not a weeb too
It is still nice that you are giving Japanese tanks more love than other people
Hey Potential History i discussed with people in War Thunder forum about your video and this special uparmored turret and i found out that the turret of this tank is not original turret but it is a turret from its successor, the Type 1 Chi-He.
Long story short, It's a Chi-He turret on top of the Chi-Ha hull.
So you did basically went inside one of the most rarest tank's turret from WW2, because no Type 1 Chi-He survived today!
Za Sensha Chi-Ha Tan No Ēsu Nope, it is not. The Type 1 went into production in 1943, the year this tank was captured. It also had a mostly welded turret, with a different profile, different ports and hatches. The Japanese also stopped sending tanks out from Japan at the beginning of 1943, so no way for a Type 1 to get to someone to be captured in 1943. But they *were* producing Type 97 Shin* with applique plates on the turret from mid-1942, which for with what this is. A lot of those were sent to the Manchurian armies, which were then slowly bled of equipment and men to other theatres until 1945. Basically, from ~1943 onwards, the home armor units got all the new kit and were kept in reserve, while the formations facing the Russians were used as a supply and manpower pool for other theatres.
You might claim it was a development tank to test ideas for the type 1, but that's not how the Japanese did it. They simply didn't send development vehicles overseas because they were "owned" by the manufacturer, not the military. That's just how zenbaitsu work.
Congrats on getting the Chieftain to do your intro!
Meme tank! Meme Tan- oh wait he's serious.
i'm an IJN-IJA weeb, so this video means an instant sub from me. Good shit, regardless of some of the mistakes made (all of them due to lack of information on these old rusty tractors). Keep it up.
Finally I made it to the new upload without being 1 hours late. A thing with the Chi-ha and most japanese tanks was that the gun could be independently moved by the gunner. the guns had mounting for horzontal trunions allowing the gunner to aim without needing to turn the turret. this kinda helps with the engine "problem" you've mentioned earlier. the updated Chi-He did away with this and switched to a gear operated.
I feel really jelous seeing you do all these tank videos. too camera shy to go down rosemead tank museum a mile away from home.
Hope you do a video on the US tank destroyers especially the M18.
Ryan To Wait what how did you live? I thought you committed suicide along with the others in Manchuria? And yes all the Japanese in Manchuria committed suicide even the children.
Um, what?
Ryan To In WW2 the Soviets invaded Manchuria during the late year of WW2. It is also when Japan lost their stepping stone and eventually crumbled and every Japanese citizen in it have commited suicide
I think you have me mistaken for someone else's comment.
Ryan To I dunno your profile seems shady.
I have to say I love what the Japanese did for ready ammo storage in this tank. Rounds are packed in through a door in the back of the turret, then pulled out the other end through that box to load during combat.
Anime, History, and good video editing skills are a few of my favorite things
OH MY GOD! The absolute MAD LAD got tank Jesus to actually do a collab!!!! Im so jealous!!!! Great video as always
But that hatch at the back could be a hatch to lift out the gun? So it's maybe for maintenance.
In thinking so too now that a few people have mentioned it. I wasn't aware this was a feature for rear hatches on tanks of this era
this tank is too tight I couldn't imagine it. great video by the way :)
Posted 2 secs ago and yet people were here since yesterday
HDR Reviews patreon or however you spell it they get to see early videos and work in progress
Finally, another episode of my favourite anime
hey! Shinji, Get in the Chi-Ha!
oh, and may i humbly request Czech tank video?
That evangelion theme at the beginning was beautiful
Another really good video. I like that you can poke fun at yourself calling it the wannabe's hatch.
Keep up the good work.
This was actually really good. Well done! Great job!
I love that you make videos about the Tanks of Japan so we can see them and not only the classic one.
Dammit I went there a while ago after your Ha Go video now I really wanna go back!
Johnny has come so far in such a short amount of time. I mean guys...he's working with tank Jesus...Irish tank jesus.
I was not expecting this collaboration
Man, just keeps getting better and better, good shit
I knew this channel would blow up back when you had like 10k subs
That cutaway is fucking gold.
You remind me of Tier Zoo in your commentaries while not on camera."Featuring 'The Chieftain' " in the title would definitely give you a lot of hits :)
Thank you for your channel, I find it to be educational and entertaining, especially when you do what can be done on more obscure subjects and topics.
Radio's were standard issued from 1941 onwards for all Kai models.
This tank is so cute
Try being the gunner or loader
Miss me with that spooning shit.
No idea why they decided to put 3 people in the turret when it can barely fit 2.
Hmm all I see is a burning wreck.
@@americana_incarnate1717 at least not as bad as an early ronson
Silvia Christandl
Don’t make me laugh. The M4A1 could take on anything in 1942 , and was quite decent in 1944 considering that most of the german forces were StuGs and Panzer IVs. The term “ronson” was assigned to it after the war, as the company never had a catchphrase until many years after the war, and the soldier used “zippo” lighters anyway. It also was one of the safest tanks to be in during the war, only losing 0.6 men per destroyed tank.
And you say the Chi-Ha was better? The Chi-Ha would shoot shells at it, then have them all bounce as if it’s fighting a tiger. While I do have some respect for Japanese equipment and even tanks, this is completely absurd.
Dude! Do more videos! Excellent!
Great video, keep up the good work
THANK YOU. I always wanted to see inside one of these! There's only a few books that cover the Type 97 and HaGo in the USA. It's unfortunate because most of the source material and photos for Japanese Tanks is in Japanese and not published for westerners.
Hey Johnny! Congratulations on 200k subscribers! I’ve watched your videos for a while and I love each and everyone of them, please keep making these videos and please keep being awesome! Best wishes mate!
The back/front/side/commander's position is DOMINATED
You got a sponser.... I’m so proud of you 😭
Been here since 2k it’s crazy how fast small channels like yours are growing dude keep the good content up 👉😎👉
"Hey get some footage of this down here." *BWOOOM*
Another great video! Out of curiosity, have you ever played Valkyria Chronicles?
Fire
Squad 7 move out
Holy fuck, you're collaborating with The Chieftain, a nice significant emotional event.
I’m guessing that door at the rear of the turret is to help aid the removal of the main gun.
The ready rack at the rear of the turret would be removed first of course though.
Finally a new video. Keep up the good work :)
This guy, Sam O’Nella and History Buffs are the best history channels on TH-cam.
I just love this channel
The Chieftain is such a cool fuckin guy man congrats on the collaboration, you're in the big leagues now John the Tank Bapist!!!
The most ambitious crossover ever
"They doubled the frontal armor thickness from 25 mm to 5 cm."
Looking at modern tanks the idea of either of those being capable of stopping anything sounds absurd.
Then again this is the era of simple AP rounds, so teh 3-foot-long mach 5 uranium death bolt and teh orbital velocity copper death ray are less of a concern.
It’s still only maybe capable of stopping 37mm shells.
Could we get some potential history on some wheeled vehicles, especially since they're coming to WoT? 😊
I almost died...
The Chieftain accept collaboration videos! O_O
Favorite collab ever.
Getting to do a colab with the Chief himself, total fanboi moment :3
