wow, good that you're still uploading content similar to your original content, really awesome seeing Leopard 1's Amx 30's and ofcourse, the AMX ELC :)
Everyone's all excited about the ELC and I'm just here thinking how awesome it is they have a Priest lol. ELC is awesome too though of course. Also serious props to the French for keeping all their stuff in such good condition, there's no way that's cheap. It warms my heart, and makes me sad Aberdeen is letting some of it's stuff rot.
the maintenance crew is very limited so really a part of the collection is rotting outside due to a lack of space, the B-C 25t and the B1 demineur were sitting outside untill recently they got a complete collection of the AMX 13 family but most of them are sitting outside again due to lack of space
"Can't get to it from the front, they really jammed it in"... That's the great thing about the ELC, you can park it anywhere and it fits. it's like the Mini Cooper of tanks... "We'll be back later" Hopefully with more Bat Chat 25t next time :)
dfadg sadfga Back in 2014 SilentStalker published pictures of it in that condition in his For The Record blog, but fairly recently he published new pictures (or maybe it was the Status Report blog, can't remember exactly) of it in good restored (at least externally) condition.
It definitely looks better now. I saw it last year in a temporary exhibition area (the closed door next to the italian tanks in the first tour) : tof.cx/images/2017/05/08/79f258bfdb237c00e31b5946e8418f68.jpg
Good morning Chieftain! The tracked vehicle at 3:00 is very similar(from what I saw) to the Borgward special purpose vehicles(Sd.kfz. 301,if I remember correctly). And you asked on the previous video why the ZiS-2 57 mm is in the Cold War section?Along with a few 45 mm M1942s,it was the backbone of the light anti-tank batteries of armies 'helped' by the Soviets during the Cold War for quite a while.
I'm fairly certain the audience is interested in the ELC for no other reason than to see if it is humanly possible to fit a full crew inside it. Also, because it's so damn short you can pat it on the top of the turret like a puppy dog.
There is a DUKW and an LVT right down the road from where I live in Michigan. I die a little on the inside whenever I drive by because they are just sitting there rotting away. The worst part is that they are parked under a pair of pine trees so you just know that there must be loads of dried tree sap having dripped down into them.
Most of the reason why tanks aren't always street legal is weight and metal tracks tearing up the roads... ELC is so light, and has rubber padded tracks meaning that probably all you'd need is proper mirrors and signals... and a license plate. Cost: Probably like 20-30,000 considering you can buy a T-55A for around 50,000-70,000 USD... (70,000 if you want it restored to museum, running condition before it is shipped to your place of storage...)
I believe the reason why everyone wants to see you in an ELC ,is to watch your tall frame try to fit into a small tank,same principle of people wanting to see a square peg fit into a round hole . I'm sure you realize this already. DO INSIDE THE HATCH ON THE MERKAVA PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!!!!
It is... I know little details about the Merkava and I was an M1A1 crewman. Kind of was my job to know about armored vehicles all over the world. I know 4 details on the Merkava. It has a 120mm autoloading cannon. It has a turbine engine. It's armor is composite like the armor on the M1 Abrams. The Merkava is one of the best tanks in the world right now, if not the best.
Sorry I was wrong. It is a diesel engine but I do recall about information the the Merkava was to be getting a turbine engine. May be is was a prototype or it just never got approval.
He might fit if his feet are in the drivers position and the rest of him is all the way into the turret. Who ever said you cant be driver and gunner at the same time?
That's why the placement of the vehicles change regularly. They remove some tanks from the museum and replace them with some from the reserve. That's why the ELC is stored here, last time i visited it was visible in the museum itself.
surprised there wasn't and AMX 50 series in the back. if theres any of those you have to do a chieftans hatch or just a snapshot on do it on the b1 bis it such a neglected tanks and deserves the attention. if only it had a competitive armament at the time it was needed.
At 2:57 this is a belgian vickers-garden-loyd T13, my granpa drove one in 1940, later on in the war they were used by the German on the eastern front. There is an other survivor on display at the Brussels tank museum.
There is one. Saw it last year, in a temporary exhibition for the Carrousel, alongside the ELC and an AMX-13. [EDIT] Here's a picture : tof.cx/images/2017/05/08/79f258bfdb237c00e31b5946e8418f68.jpg
ronineter1 its probably some were in storage or in the closed section of the museum, but you can see a walk-around video of the bat chat on my channel.
If you go back, please PLEASE *PLEASE* take a closer look at the vehicle at 11:27 of your first Samur video (th-cam.com/video/GoGjAWo-HIM/w-d-xo.html). It appears to be a modified AT-P artillery tractor (itself derived from the ASU-57) equipped for radio jamming. I was in the 1st ID during Desert Storm and we brought one of these back although it disappeared shortly after.
I wonder if there would be enough people interested to make a run of reproduction FTs. It's a manageable size for one or two people, put a modern small diesel in it and you could have a fun toy to take to the 4WD park.
ELC or French speaking Chieftain - I''m not sure what amazed me more...
Plus one.
I'm completely unsurprised that he speaks French for some reason.
elc is so small you could do an inside the hatch in one part
reubens meagher yeah, but he'd probably have to do it upside down hanging in through an open hatch if he wants to get back out again XD
Actually he would have to chop himself into more than one part to fit into that thing...
He wouldn't fit in there in one piece though. Some disassembly may be necessary.
that elc made me blush if it runs I would cry
Same. It's amazing to see its real glory after what Wargaming did to it in WoT.
ELC

DO THE ELC
Have a look on Panzerpicture TH-cam he just did a walkaround of the ELC
Oh hey, a nuclear missile!
I have two lying around somewhere !!!!! LOL
yep, pluton at 1:44
Pluton vs King Tiger, who wins?
@@ricardosoto5770 King tiger at short distance, Pluton at anywhere between 20Km and 120Km.
make a half-way-inside the hatch the ELC hahahahaha.
wow, good that you're still uploading content similar to your original content, really awesome seeing Leopard 1's Amx 30's and ofcourse, the AMX ELC :)
That recover version of the char b looks like a really interesting ARV
topguntopcat its not a recovery version its a mine clearing version.
Ow ok I am shore he said it was a recovery version in the vid. Any way its an interesting Tank
That was my first response too: "Demineur". It appears to be missing its rollers and cables, which are likely stored seperately
I've never could have guessed that they have so many in the back...
Thanks for the sneak peek!
Need... More... Videos.. Haha. Although the video was short, I'm always looking forward to seeing more videos from ya.
That's a pretty awesome collection they have there.
Nicholas, if you can't fit into that ELC, I hereby volunteer as tribute.
#makeitso
All I can think right now is I want to see more!
Everyone's all excited about the ELC and I'm just here thinking how awesome it is they have a Priest lol. ELC is awesome too though of course. Also serious props to the French for keeping all their stuff in such good condition, there's no way that's cheap. It warms my heart, and makes me sad Aberdeen is letting some of it's stuff rot.

I know its probably a minor thing, But thank you for translating what your guide was saying.
"Can't get to it from the front, they really jammed it in"... That's the great thing about the ELC, you can park it anywhere and it fits. it's like the Mini Cooper of tanks...
"We'll be back later" Hopefully with more Bat Chat 25t next time :)
Isn't the Bat Chat 25t a rusting hulk with a bush growing out of it?
I heard they recently brought it inside the back shop to start restoring it due to massive interest in it due to WoT...
dfadg sadfga Back in 2014 SilentStalker published pictures of it in that condition in his For The Record blog, but fairly recently he published new pictures (or maybe it was the Status Report blog, can't remember exactly) of it in good restored (at least externally) condition.

zemadpenguin Indeed, great picture there mate :)
We need to see you get inside the hatch of that ELC :)
Good morning Chieftain!
The tracked vehicle at 3:00 is very similar(from what I saw) to the Borgward special purpose vehicles(Sd.kfz. 301,if I remember correctly).

Nice Vid really like those
that was pretty cool to see the AMX ELC
I'm fairly certain the audience is interested in the ELC for no other reason than to see if it is humanly possible to fit a full crew inside it. Also, because it's so damn short you can pat it on the top of the turret like a puppy dog.
The unknown next to the VBL is a Belgian artillery tractor from WWII.
2.58 "i dont know what that is !! " never thought i would hear you say that ....
You got an ELC Right there man! Get the keys have em pull it out and take spin!
Love the camo green lawnmower @ 0:05!!! Arctic camo wheels. What unit is that from?
I was looking down when he said "A duck!" and I snapped my head up hoping to see the AMX40 D;
There is a DUKW and an LVT right down the road from where I live in Michigan. I die a little on the inside whenever I drive by because they are just sitting there rotting away. The worst part is that they are parked under a pair of pine trees so you just know that there must be loads of dried tree sap having dripped down into them.
When I saw the recovery Char B1 i was abit shocked, I never knew they made them.
Tanks, tanks, *TAAAAAANKSSS*
awesome x.x
Hm how much would it cost to reproduce an ElC and make it street legal
Most of the reason why tanks aren't always street legal is weight and metal tracks tearing up the roads...
ELC is so light, and has rubber padded tracks meaning that probably all you'd need is proper mirrors and signals... and a license plate.
Cost: Probably like 20-30,000 considering you can buy a T-55A for around 50,000-70,000 USD... (70,000 if you want it restored to museum, running condition before it is shipped to your place of storage...)
Bigger problem is that you probably can't find anyone selling it
Oh have I Got a tank for you
Perfect bedtime story!
the first centurion is a swiss one with the m78764 Number and the silver square
I'd like to see an inside the hatch on the ELC but I really like to see the T14 or an M6.
Nice to see a Swedish Pvkv m/43 at 3:45 and to the left of it a Stormartillervagn m/43. I do wonder how they ended up in France.
can you possibly do an inside the hatch on the on the chlanger
Still waiting on that ELC review 1:03. Can't wait for a fire drill in one of those.
That is ALOT of work for just 3 mechanics.
"Another amx 30" Almost, that's a 32 prototype.
hope we get an Inside the Hatch FT-17 video, maybe with yhe operational one just so he can experience driving it.
1:56 how come this amx30 has such a different looking turret is it a different variant of some type ?
A museum inside a museum :)
For the ELC would you have to call it outside the hatch?
I believe the reason why everyone wants to see you in an ELC ,is to watch your tall frame try to fit into a small tank,same principle of people wanting to see a square peg fit into a round hole . I'm sure you realize this already. DO INSIDE THE HATCH ON THE MERKAVA PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!!!!
I thought the Merkava was super secret?
It is... I know little details about the Merkava and I was an M1A1 crewman. Kind of was my job to know about armored vehicles all over the world. I know 4 details on the Merkava. It has a 120mm autoloading cannon. It has a turbine engine. It's armor is composite like the armor on the M1 Abrams. The Merkava is one of the best tanks in the world right now, if not the best.
420choochy well that and I just want to see what the hell the inside looks like on that tank. other than that its just for lols
If I recall, the MK 3 has a turbine.
Sorry I was wrong. It is a diesel engine but I do recall about information the the Merkava was to be getting a turbine engine. May be is was a prototype or it just never got approval.
I'd be like a kid in a candy store here. I don't know what half of them are called but they're still cool. Must cost a fortune and a half too.
cheftain will u be going to aquino?
I would love to see and under the hatch on the t22 locust. That will makes the ELC seem huge.
Carro veloce at Bovvy is what we need!!!
I love it! Let's see how many tiny tank/tankettes that we can try to get him to get into.
Notification squad!!!
Chief, get a HD foon... not a bad thing in 2017 ;-)
Inside the ELC hatch NOW!!!
xD
ELC AMX. :D
And I honestly can't see you fitting inside it Nick, you're taller than it is. :D
He might fit if his feet are in the drivers position and the rest of him is all the way into the turret.
Who ever said you cant be driver and gunner at the same time?
I saw a dozen tanks I'd love to see Inside the Hatch. AMX 40 is one...
What's the model of that forklift?
Hmm. Was the M8 HMC not on display, Chieftain, Sir?
Could you review a NSU Kettenrad? 😝
Isn't that white UN-labeled APC @ 2:30 actually a Finnish Pasi? I know the UN used them a lot and it looks like that to me.
Everyone wants to see you do the ELC because they want to see if you can fit in it, ha.
What happend to the Swedish tanks? Im sure you are not done with them?
It's great that they have all of those tanks but it's such a shame that they don't have enough room to display them all, like the Bovington museum.
That's why the placement of the vehicles change regularly. They remove some tanks from the museum and replace them with some from the reserve. That's why the ELC is stored here, last time i visited it was visible in the museum itself.
Heaven.
nice chieftain.
Inside the ELC hatch NOW!!!
Why the hurry? I'd love for you to do a proper in-depth tour at some point.
last tank, not recovery, it's B1 Mine roller.
Tyrex goodeye
You two could have pushed that ELC out and did a inside the hatch right there...
surprised there wasn't and AMX 50 series in the back. if theres any of those you have to do a chieftans hatch or just a snapshot on do it on the b1 bis it such a neglected tanks and deserves the attention. if only it had a competitive armament at the time it was needed.
It would be nice, especially as they have one in running order :)
+TheChieftainWoT That recovery Char B1, is it a german conversion or indeed a french one?
MadnerKami its a French made Mine clearing one.
The man called it a 'depannage', which is recovery. However, it does, indeed, seem to be a mineclearer.
Thanks to the both of you.
Hello i want know were is this museum? Salut pouvez vous me dire ou se situe ce musé? c'est en france mais ou...
Ermm.. It is in Saumur. www.museedesblindes.fr/
A Pluton!
At 2:57 this is a belgian vickers-garden-loyd T13, my granpa drove one in 1940, later on in the war they were used by the German on the eastern front. There is an other survivor on display at the Brussels tank museum.
I've read that there's a BC 25t around there, they didn't show it to you?
I do believe it's stacked in the outside vehicle graveyard.
There is one. Saw it last year, in a temporary exhibition for the Carrousel, alongside the ELC and an AMX-13.
[EDIT] Here's a picture : tof.cx/images/2017/05/08/79f258bfdb237c00e31b5946e8418f68.jpg
aces911 it probably stored or in a closed section of the museum, you can see it on my channel.
Qingyun Wang its been restored longtime ago and is in the museum, you can see it on my channel.
ELC AMX... still waiting for the baby
Oooh. They moved the ELC to storage. That's a shame. =l
4:22, is that a duck (amx 40) on the right of the screen?
CAP198462 char b.
T-62 and a B1 Bis
awwww, I had hoped to see a duck.
the duck-40 never left the drawing board
You didnt spot the Batchat 25T there? Its supposed to be at Saumur
ronineter1 its probably some were in storage or in the closed section of the museum, but you can see a walk-around video of the bat chat on my channel.
I'm late but it's stored outside the museum, some guy in the French WoT community made a video about it
I think the tractor a british pre-war arty tractor
Char B1 Bis... s'il vous plait
@ 3:55 M7 "Priest" SPG to the right.
a tour of life if money wasn't an issue.
0:36 This is an ex-turret.
Hi Nic
Are there any FCM 2C survivor ?
There are not, no
I would really like to see an ELC, especially after WG killed it in the game.
'' it looks Swedish...'' it was Swedish, Sav M/43
Clio?. ..could be wrong...

it is a paper tank u will not see orginal model live or prototype

How can we persuade wargaming to allow you to do a review on the ELC?!?!?!?!?!?!?
