It’s interesting how the Chinese were trained and equipped by the Germans around the 1930’s before WW2 yet the Chinese were invaded so easily by the Japanese, does that mean Japanese doctrine is superior to German doctrine? Probably not but can people please tell me why the Japanese managte to conquer Almost half of China but fail to conquer India?
@@razr-x9666 Only very few Chinese Units we're actually trained and equipped by the Germans and these units usually performed very well against the Japanese, there were just not enough of them to make a big difference in the war. An example of such a unit would be the 88th division of the Chinese nationalist army.
@@razr-x9666 the japanese didn't invade china at ease in fact it was the exact opposite, the chinese despite being considered poorly-equipped by europe's militaries were able to repel offensives launched by the japanese thanks to a people's war and protracted war being waged instead of favoring pitched battles and frontal assaults, only japanese propaganda says otherwise.
Daimler-Benz was mostly responsible for plane engines just like BMW. The real deal for tanks were Henschel (Tiger), Porsche (The tank whose name is not to be said), MAN (Panther), Rheinmetall (cannons), Maybach (motors) and Krupp

The world wars have always interested me, not because of the sheer amount of power or brutal consequences of both, but the technology used during them. It’s crazy to think that people came up with these and put them into action.
Yes, I agree with you. But I also realized, that so much technology potencial was destroyed during war, scientists were killed, factories were bombed, and those who weren't were producing tanks instead of cars, poisons instead of medicines. If someone says (not you), that wars gave us technology, it is partly true. Yes, we gained some technologies due to war, but the number technologies we lost is even higher.
@@NotAreaSP The VIII is highly misleading. Like other super heavy tanks this was just a concept prototype. The program was terminated and its equivalent in the E-series development which was the actual plan for future tanks in the Wehrmacht was scrapped as well. So it never was Panzer VIII. The other misleading part is the implication that the Wehrmacht went with super heavy tank craze when those heavy tanks were dedicated for particular roles, in the case of Tiger I before WW2 even started. Their equivalent in the Soviet army were the KV series and IS series and just like them they were never intended to replace all tanks, but be the spearheads in offensives. The problem for Germany: After 1942 they were never again on the offensive so those tanks were used outside their mission spectrum. And even the denial of still building them can be explained: The entire German military doctrine for centuries was pretty clear that you needed to bring down the enemy you need to go on the offensive... otherwise you lose the war... because German geography is crap for defense... oh dear... oh dear.
@@LyvlonLP 9 times out of 10 if a car suffers a no-worky without crashing into anything, the issue is in the engine or drivetrain. Being able to swap engines means you can keep the actual car running for decades, and just swap engines whenever it breaks. This, in theory, means that instead of having to build 1000 new humvees each year to replace attrition, you only need to build 100 humvees and 900 humvee engines. Unfortunately, nowadays consumer cars are designed to be "single use," even though most broken down cars that haven't been totalled in an accident could easily function with a new engine. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, we literally throw away an entire car because a part or two in the engine doesn't work, simply because it's cheaper and easier to buy an entire new identical car than fix the one or two items that broke. It's that hard to replace an engine in a car, that in most cases it just makes more sense to buy an entire new car. The comparison in the original comment isn't a very good one though, since the engines are VERY different. One is a turbine, the other is a regular combustion engine. Comparing the two when it comes to replacement times is like comparing the time it takes to replace an aircraft propeller with the time it takes to replace a boat propeller. They are similar, but have a lot of major differences, it's an "apples to oranges" comparison.
building really good tanks is not enough when they are produced in low numbers and unreliable AF (plus having far too great fuel consumption) see the prod numbers, compare that to the us and russia... unless you are talking about post ww2

@@Yes-ct1md Not wanting to sound like an ass but there is no Panzerkampfwagen Leopard 1 or 2. Infact the word Panzerkampfwagen is not being used anymore at all.
The Virgin Tiger I: - only a handful, "quality over quantity" - gets one-shotted by a 57mm from the side and rear - gets one-shotted by a 17-pndr from the angled front - often not used for its intended role as a breakthrough tank The GigaChad Sturmgeschütz III: - has seen combat in every german theatre due to being mass produced - doesn't matter if it's killed, another one will take its place - 75mm gun can destroy any allied tank short of a Churchill, Sherman Jumbo, or KV-1/IS-2 - picks its battles, has a good win/loss encounter rate
@@eerolehtila4761 Tiger P was only a prototype of the Porsche Company that didn't win over the Henschel Prototype. Either way the chassis built were used to built the Ferdinand a.k.a. Elefant.
@@columba5627 It was 3 months ago. It probably was a joke. The tiger had many flaws especially the panther. There is no such as "The best tank of the war" If you think about it, every tank has a designed environment for them especially WW2.
@@grimmshredsanguinus2915 the only thing that is mighty is probably the gun, the armour even though is quite strong, its welding quality is worse then early panzers (?). And remember that "big cats" are overweight and has underpowered engine with fragile suspension after 1943
@@grimmshredsanguinus2915 mighty is a heavy overstatement. If one made it to combat, the allied forces could just dodge it and wait for it to run out of fuel or break down, then take the crew prisoner.
@@feivellazuardi1867 it’s not such a big surprise it’s welding was poor. Germany was losing the war by the time the King Tiger entered production, so I’m guessing production of King Tigers had to be rushed and they were sent off to the front as quickly as possible.
@@charles5895 yea, i think i read somewhere where a tiger 2's front armor got hit by 100mm or 122mm ap shell, it bounce and left a huge crack on the front plate. By the time it's abandoned, the tank can't move bcz the upper plate is already shatter into pieces
fun fact: While the literal translation "king tiger" for the German "Königstiger" has very early on become common place in the English speaking world, the correct English name of the animal it is named after is "Bengal Tiger".
To be fair, German tanks during WWII didn't start suffering from that problem until after the PzKpfw IV. It wasn't until the cats that German tanks started to have issue with their reliability.
“only real shortcoming of the tiger was the lack of units” *transmission breaks, suspension collapses, engine fails, road wheels get stuck, lack of parts, very difficult to maintain*
I wouldn't say that they are espacially over exaggerated. The Tiger tank wasn't designed to be easy to maintain or cheap to repair. It was designed to be a breakthrough tank. Basically being deployed where the enemy is especially stubborn, breaking through their defenses and going back to the next depot where they would have the time, space and resources to be fixed properly. After all germany would be on the offense, taking land and could decide where and when to advance. The role it was pressed into was very different with the Wehrmacht being on the defense, losing ground and being short on supplies, where the shortcomings started to be more noticable. I.e. you couldn't just recover vehicles that broke down, due to an overheated engine or failing transmission, during an fight right after, since the ground they fought on would be lost to the advancing enemy (soviets or allies) and they have a bit of a problem with an german tank towing truck just driving through their lines, recovering a 60t vehicle and towing it back to a german depot. Oh and on a side note: german tanks where notriously difficult to repair, my favorite example would be when the transmission on a Panzer III needs to be exchanged. Step 1: get some cranes. Step 2: REMOVE THE TURRET OF THE TANK Step 3: Losen some easy to excess bolts Step 4: REMOVE THE UPPER HALF OF THE HULL Saw some pictures of that process and it was a very interesting sight.
@@lucky_x8367 Although certain German tanks were difficult to repair, this isn't true across the board, the Panzer 4 was easy to repair, and even the more troublesome vehicles like the Panther and Tiger could be easily repaired depending on what was broken, engine replacement on the big cats for example was easy.
Hans : can I get my Porsche repair? some thing wrong with the engine and transmission. Porsche Facility : Sure? What is the model? 911? 950? Hans : Nein! VK 4501 (P)
Probably figuring out how to made an "environmentally-friendly, low carbon emission" tank with efficient electric motors, EV batteries encapsuled in armour, and 130mm Rheinmetall cannon, and named it PzKpfw Karakal.
@@fatchins9126 Idk what cat names are left lol. We've had a "Luchs" before. I think the only name left is "Hauskatze" (domestic cat). Would be fitting for an electric tank.
it should be noted that of the ww2 era tanks "these where used until the end of the war." is not always a sighn that they are a good desighn or a boast. Its a sighn that the germans where woefully out matched in industry and need to press everything they could into combat
The only mobilised formation that was succesful in mountains was the italian cavalary formations at stalino and the german panzers in greece. Homewer i couldnt find german panzers fighting in mouintains so Rudolfo Graziani and the italian expeditionary force is victorious.and i gotta remind you that Ardennes was bot a forest and hilly. Also a common misconseption, Rommel didint fought in the Ardennes. He had broke through the strongest part of the maginot line at Metz. He used tanks to distract the enemies so her motorcycle infantry could flank the line and attack from behind. he opened a gap in the maginot line and exploiter it to make a breakthroug to the sea.
It would be more interesting for the Soviets if they added in the Cold War Period. That was when a lot of Soviet tanks were developed, not so much during WW2
5:08 thank you for putting Beethoven's 7th Symphony Second Movement, I really enjoy this piece, and I'm learning how to play Liszt's transcription of it for the piano (fun fact about this piece: it used to be one of the Menu songs for War Thunder, but in the New Power update got removed I believe)
Me, a WoT player: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that" Nah, I've played War Thunder as well and it's a good game, but the progression is painfully slow even with Premium. And also don't like dying in 1 shot most of the time, I know that it's supposed to be realistic, but still...
Can you please make a video focusing on the entire Korean War? It is such a important war for context of modern history in Asia and almost completely forgotten/overshadowed by WW2 and Vietnam.
Can't forget about the Panzer III Ausf. N, an infantry support model of the Panzer III with the same skirts as the Panzer III Ausf. M, but with a short-barreled 75 mm gun.
@@stoda01 I know nobody asked about my opinion but I wouldn't say it's one of the better tanks of WW2. It suffered from mechanical breakdowns frequently. It's so wide and heavy the Americans can barely transport them to their intended destinations. During prototype testing which was around 1942 I think, the Pershing was so bad the Military didn't want them. And in the Korean war several years later, the Pershing peformed so bad that they got replaced by the M4 Sherman(How ironic, the thing you're replacing is the one that replaced you) In my opinion the Pershing is overrated for what it is, it's definitely not a bad tank but definitely not as good as people would often say
@@stoda01 Yes, mechanical issues is universal. But in the case of the M26, well during the entire war the US was pretty much fighting it with mostly light and medium tanks, they never sent a heavy tank to fight the war. They did develop a heavy tank before being the M6 but it was too heavy, brokedown most of the time, it sucked. The Pershing was a heavy tank and just like any heavy tank during ww2 it suffered from major mechanical issues which plagued the crews it's entire service life, most notably the suspension committing die because of the weight of the vehicle and engine fires
Your animation of tiger I firing needs a rework, the tank had good enough suspension and gun recoil handling that the chassis didn't move at all during fire, you can verify this in any WW2 footage of it. And no I'm not nitpicking, this is an important detail that allows the gunner to stay on target between shots unlike for instance the american TDs that look like they are about to tip over when they fire..
The Leopard 1 had relatively thin armor, even less than WW2 medium and heavy tanks, as the designers thought that HEAT rounds would nullify any benefits of heavy armor. However, when the Leopard 2 was developed, composite armors allowed for protections against APFSDS and powerful HEAT rounds, while not being Ludicrously heavy. Tiger II is heavier than M1A2C and Leopard 2A7, but the newer tanks have far better armor.
One BIG thing missed on the panther, and also to remove remove to slow down a myth which could be sustained through this video. The improvements on the transmission a whole the Ausf. G had better alterations of the transmission which made them far more reliable as a whole, from there on breakdown on the transmission result mainly due to the design flaws and and quality parts due to lack of resources. But even then quality varies, design flaw is constant. I'd also like this to get likes so information like this is seen. The design flaws being the final drive gear. The problem with the panther's final drive is that it's made up of straight-cut spur gears that are too small. The design of the gear had to distribute a lot of force upon a small area which was quite bad, if the quality was low the gear was likely to shatter from to much stress. The Panther Ausf. D-F had weak final drives. It used straight cut spur gear made from steel of varying quality that was designed for a 35 ton tank in which ended up being a 45 ton tank, where a sturdier type of helical cut gear from high quality steel would've been far more preferable. (Though more time consuming and expensive to make) The Ausf. G variant made some improvements to the final drive. Most of the sources I've been able to find sources and technical documents stating that the housing for the final drives was stiffened up, which reduces some of the stress and flexing thus improving reliability overall, but if didn't solve the fundamental problem of the final drive gear itself. Overall the transmissions reliability was improved but the final drive itself was not, thus is this a flaw for all panther to this day as if they are able to run, might just break from the badly chosen gears. So finally reliability was not really much of a problem for the transmission anymore, it was now all placed on a design flaw, a problem of the vehicle. Another thing, I noticed, there was a ball turret on the Late Panther D in the video, that should not be there, it should happen in later on yes, but on the Panther A variants Basically I'm tryna state the transmission problem was mostly solved. Now second I'm lost, why would the J variant use the wire mesh. Wire mesh is more difficult and expensive to produce which would be rather counterproductive than a simple sheet steel. Wire meshed needed to be layered out and individually attatched/welded to the frame, schürzen was a simple rolled steel plate, more resource used but cheaper and faster to make. I don't research wire mesh often so this threw me off completely. Also I have no reliable source for this right now, isn't sheet steel just as good as the wire mesh in stopping the Soviet antitank gun, after all the purpose of the schürzen was to stop the Soviet anti-tank round not really HEAT munitions.
I think the wire mesh was used as it still provided protection against the American bazookas. It’s also possible it was lighter than the sheet model. This is just out off my head, no actual sources.
So bottom line - still had mobility issues. If it wasn't the transmission, it was the final drive, and if it wasn't either of those two, it was lack of quality replacement parts for both.
I feel that (with the exception of the panther) they never learned from captured tanks and kept making boxes for hulls, relying just on the thickness of the armor to protect them
I really love German Tanks since childhood it fascinates me on their performance during WWII of course we do understand that there are Short comings compared to Allied tanks but still they left fear to the Allies during that day, Thank you Armchair Historian for the detailed story of the Evolution of German Tanks😊💓

@@tangmengtit888 what is wrong with the RU?
The Virgin Tiger I:
- only a handful, "quality over quantity"
- gets one-shotted by a 57mm from the side and rear
- gets one-shotted by a 17-pndr from the angled front
- often not used for its intended role as a breakthrough tank
The GigaChad Sturmgeschütz III:
- has seen combat in every german theatre due to being mass produced
- doesn't matter if it's killed, another one will take its place
- 75mm gun can destroy any allied tank short of a Churchill, Sherman Jumbo, or KV-1/IS-2
- picks its battles, has a good win/loss encounter rate
I wish you could use StuGs like that in HoI4, but they're just tank destroyers with no other use.

“only real shortcoming of the tiger was the lack of units”
*transmission breaks, suspension collapses, engine fails, road wheels get stuck, lack of parts, very difficult to maintain*
Same for all WW2 tanks, the Tigers reliably issues are overly exaggerated.
I wouldn't say that they are espacially over exaggerated.
The Tiger tank wasn't designed to be easy to maintain or cheap to repair. It was designed to be a breakthrough tank.
Basically being deployed where the enemy is especially stubborn, breaking through their defenses and going back to the next depot where they would have the time, space and resources to be fixed properly.
After all germany would be on the offense, taking land and could decide where and when to advance.
The role it was pressed into was very different with the Wehrmacht being on the defense, losing ground and being short on supplies, where the shortcomings started to be more noticable.
I.e. you couldn't just recover vehicles that broke down, due to an overheated engine or failing transmission, during an fight right after, since the ground they fought on would be lost to the advancing enemy (soviets or allies) and they have a bit of a problem with an german tank towing truck just driving through their lines, recovering a 60t vehicle and towing it back to a german depot.
Oh and on a side note: german tanks where notriously difficult to repair, my favorite example would be when the transmission on a Panzer III needs to be exchanged.
Step 1: get some cranes.
Step 2: REMOVE THE TURRET OF THE TANK
Step 3: Losen some easy to excess bolts
Step 4: REMOVE THE UPPER HALF OF THE HULL
Saw some pictures of that process and it was a very interesting sight.

Or worse. The M26 Pershing. That was one of the better tanks of WW2 but too little, too late, too few.
Not necessarily
@@stoda01 I know nobody asked about my opinion but I wouldn't say it's one of the better tanks of WW2. It suffered from mechanical breakdowns frequently. It's so wide and heavy the Americans can barely transport them to their intended destinations. During prototype testing which was around 1942 I think, the Pershing was so bad the Military didn't want them. And in the Korean war several years later, the Pershing peformed so bad that they got replaced by the M4 Sherman(How ironic, the thing you're replacing is the one that replaced you) In my opinion the Pershing is overrated for what it is, it's definitely not a bad tank but definitely not as good as people would often say
@@k-874 Didn't most of the heavier of WW2 tanks have reliability issues?
@@stoda01 Yes, mechanical issues is universal. But in the case of the M26, well during the entire war the US was pretty much fighting it with mostly light and medium tanks, they never sent a heavy tank to fight the war. They did develop a heavy tank before being the M6 but it was too heavy, brokedown most of the time, it sucked. The Pershing was a heavy tank and just like any heavy tank during ww2 it suffered from major mechanical issues which plagued the crews it's entire service life, most notably the suspension committing die because of the weight of the vehicle and engine fires
Your animation of tiger I firing needs a rework, the tank had good enough suspension and gun recoil handling that the chassis didn't move at all during fire, you can verify this in any WW2 footage of it. And no I'm not nitpicking, this is an important detail that allows the gunner to stay on target between shots unlike for instance the american TDs that look like they are about to tip over when they fire..

I just love the various tank version designs you guys made! Well done and great overview
Lol nice to see you here
I see you in just about every video I watch
Broke: quality over quantity
Woke: armor over mobility
The Leopard 1 had relatively thin armor, even less than WW2 medium and heavy tanks, as the designers thought that HEAT rounds would nullify any benefits of heavy armor. However, when the Leopard 2 was developed, composite armors allowed for protections against APFSDS and powerful HEAT rounds, while not being Ludicrously heavy. Tiger II is heavier than M1A2C and Leopard 2A7, but the newer tanks have far better armor.
One BIG thing missed on the panther, and also to remove remove to slow down a myth which could be sustained through this video.
The improvements on the transmission a whole the Ausf. G had better alterations of the transmission which made them far more reliable as a whole, from there on breakdown on the transmission result mainly due to the design flaws and and quality parts due to lack of resources. But even then quality varies, design flaw is constant. I'd also like this to get likes so information like this is seen.
The design flaws being the final drive gear.
The problem with the panther's final drive is that it's made up of straight-cut spur gears that are too small. The design of the gear had to distribute a lot of force upon a small area which was quite bad, if the quality was low the gear was likely to shatter from to much stress.
The Panther Ausf. D-F had weak final drives. It used straight cut spur gear made from steel of varying quality that was designed for a 35 ton tank in which ended up being a 45 ton tank, where a sturdier type of helical cut gear from high quality steel would've been far more preferable. (Though more time consuming and expensive to make)
The Ausf. G variant made some improvements to the final drive. Most of the sources I've been able to find sources and technical documents stating that the housing for the final drives was stiffened up, which reduces some of the stress and flexing thus improving reliability overall, but if didn't solve the fundamental problem of the final drive gear itself.
Overall the transmissions reliability was improved but the final drive itself was not, thus is this a flaw for all panther to this day as if they are able to run, might just break from the badly chosen gears.
So finally reliability was not really much of a problem for the transmission anymore, it was now all placed on a design flaw, a problem of the vehicle.
Another thing, I noticed, there was a ball turret on the Late Panther D in the video, that should not be there, it should happen in later on yes, but on the Panther A variants
Basically I'm tryna state the transmission problem was mostly solved.
Now second I'm lost, why would the J variant use the wire mesh. Wire mesh is more difficult and expensive to produce which would be rather counterproductive than a simple sheet steel. Wire meshed needed to be layered out and individually attatched/welded to the frame, schürzen was a simple rolled steel plate, more resource used but cheaper and faster to make.
I don't research wire mesh often so this threw me off completely.
Also I have no reliable source for this right now, isn't sheet steel just as good as the wire mesh in stopping the Soviet antitank gun, after all the purpose of the schürzen was to stop the Soviet anti-tank round not really HEAT munitions.
I probably have some spelling errors but I'm too lazy to fix them
I think the wire mesh was used as it still provided protection against the American bazookas. It’s also possible it was lighter than the sheet model. This is just out off my head, no actual sources.
So bottom line - still had mobility issues. If it wasn't the transmission, it was the final drive, and if it wasn't either of those two, it was lack of quality replacement parts for both.
@@jack50br54 The sheets were for anti-tank rifles, they soviets stoped using them later in the war, mesh worked just as well for heat rounds.
Oh no Hans ze transmission has broken again
I feel that (with the exception of the panther) they never learned from captured tanks and kept making boxes for hulls, relying just on the thickness of the armor to protect them
I really love German Tanks since childhood it fascinates me on their performance during WWII of course we do understand that there are Short comings compared to Allied tanks but still they left fear to the Allies during that day, Thank you Armchair Historian for the detailed story of the Evolution of German Tanks😊💓
