Gray you jackwagon...no one should trust you will a full version of a game! ...remember this is Gray still breaks games EDIT: that poster changed my life! i had just been throwing my tanks away after i was finished rampaging ...now i will re use them!
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger bought a tank so that he could give children rides. He wanted to do that because he had fond memories, from childhood, of getting rides to school on a tank in Austria.
He was actually in the Austrian tank corp when he started entering body building competitions. Instead of court martialing him for being AWOL for a competition his superiors decided he was good publicity.
Gray this is actually a real thing people find scraped or abandoned tanks and restore them it takes a lot of time years sometimes and i'ts quite profitable especially for that Tiger tank it can easilly be sold for 500k even more if in working condition
There's actually a TV show about exactly this. I used to watch it years ago, they were a shop that did tank restoration for collectors and museums alike.
@Grease triggered they are called rounds XD you have 4 flavors AP, HE, APCBC, and APHE but only us tank guys care HAHAHAHAH (tbh im more of a ww2 plane kinda guy i only know tank stuff from friends who loves tanks XD)
"Oh yes, Mr. Hilter, I can definately fix up your tank in time for your trip to..." "Stalingrad." "Stalingrad? At this time of year? You wouldn't have much fun in Stalingrad in the winter, Mr. Hilter." "..."
I need this in my life. As someone who spent a ton of time building computers in a video game, and being a car mechanic with x-ray vision, this game is necessary to ensure the continuation of my life.
Gray, I went to my grandparents house one day and I was shocked about what I saw... my nonno is a very innocent man (90% of the time) do to his age ( not so much when he was younger.) Anyway, I went out into his huge garden to say hi to him when I arrived and I see a tank... and he was turning it into an OVEN!!! A huge dome oven... with the Barrel as a Handle to open the front turrent-barrel area... the hatch on the top was open and it was the chimney... the seating and ammo area was mainly charcoal covered but he put a stone slab across from one side to the other to put his pizza or bread on while the coals go under the slab... The tank was a Panzer I think, I know it's a German tank since I've played WoT but how it ended up in his garden all the way down here is Australia is what I must find out...
Oh yeah, tank mechanics and restoration is actually surprisingly big in the US, Canada and Russia. There's a bunch of people that drive their Centurions around Ontario, there's the odd Sherman on the road in Nevada down south and there's lots of pictures of people driving T-34s around Russia. It's actually surprising how legal it is to own and operate a tank that has *live ammunition* both in the US and Canada.
Gray! I’m a heavy equipment and diesel engine mechanic in northern Illinois. Monday through Friday I work on semis. On the weekends, I service a number of tanks, apcs and other military vehicles in private collections around the Chicagoland area. There are actually tank mechanics!
Fun fact, as long as you get registration, and install proper lights, as well as disarm the barrel, you can legally drive a tank on public roads. Even in California it's legal. I'd install cameras mounted to large monitors however, as most tanks don't have great visibility.
It's definitely not a freelance kind of market, but the majority of this kind of stuff happens for Tank Museums like Bobbington or Aberdeen. It's not only for restoring excavated finds, but there's also restorations on pieces they already have or that other museums send to them for restoration; mainly due to poor care on their part. If you want a recent famous example, Bobbington Tank Museum did a restoration of a Matilda Mk.II either for the Royal wedding or one of the royalty visiting gave it their blessing(?). I can't remember the absolute full details, I just recall Nick "The Chieftain" Moran talking about how there was a Matilda Mk. II occupying Bobbington's restoration garage and it being connected to one of the royal family.
As someone who works on both the M60 and M1 chassis vehicles, take my word when I say, you will spend absolutely all your time into repairing something, only for something else to fault because you repaired said thing. AND THEN, once you’ve got it up, the operators are going to bring it back a few days later in even worse condition than you originally received it in.
Yes, that is a thing and yes, I think you summed it up perfectly. Sure, some not quite normal people buy armored cars- but it's a special kind of person that buys or even works on any kind of actual tank- especially of historical value.
Wow. Reading some of the comments makes me want to. To all the haters out there, you try to play and entertain people on TH-cam and see the haters comment on your game playing and see how it feels. Grey does a great job on different games. But he never claims to know everything about everything in every game. Knowledge comes from experience, observation, and alot of mistakes.
There is a tank and plane restoration group that exists about 10 minutes from my childhood home and its mostly staffed by retired military men. They focus on restoring Australian and British tanks like the Matilda and Vickers. They actually hold auctions for restored tanks every 2-3 years, but most of the buyers are from museums.
@Joseph Stalin No dude, the T-34-85 has a round cast turret and the gun has a much higher caliber barrel, the F-34 is kinda pathetic. The model 1942 T-34-76 has a hexagonal shaped turret with a cast gun mantlet, it also has a 76mm F-34 as opposed to the 85mm ZiS-S-53. Look up T-34 model 1942 in google images and then look up T-34-85 in google images
In my hometown in Germany we have a tank mechanic that is not part of the military. Dude even got his own train tracks for receiving them and shipping them back out. (To be fair, I think a lot of the work he does is for the military, but he isn’t part of it)
Fun fact, you can easily buy a tank and drive it on the road in the US, it just can’t have any active weaponry and must have rubber treads so you don’t bust up the asphalt, but after that it’s considered “heavy equipment” (I.e. the government says it’s a glorified bulldozer)
I might be a bit late with this comment, but there is a dude in Holland that is restoring a Type 69 tank back to its original, much like this game does. If you're interested his channel is called MasterMilo. (He recently got the engine running after a major overhaul)
as a World of Tanks player... I could name every tank...and really felt like a nerd... A TIGER 1? TIGER1.... And yes. There are tank and military museums that do this restoration work.
People have actually found buried tanks, they get stuck and just eventually covered up, but most are found in swamps, lakes, and rivers, or just in the forest.
the reality is that most of the private owners either fix it themselves or hire mechanics, it is possible that there are a "couple" of mechanics who do that specific job, other than that you obviously have the museums one example is «The Tank Museum» in the UK who have been posting videos of their restoration work on a WWII Matilda, then you have the «Armor and Cavalry Heritage Museum» in the US that will open this year and has been restoring a bunch of tanks that were left out in the open unprotected as for Eastern Europe there's more of that, it's not necessarily done by museums but there are people who search for parts of tanks on known locations where battles took place, not long ago (2016 or 2017) that recovered a KV-1 from a river and I've also seen a rare model of the BT-7 being recovered from a swamp (among many, many others)
There's actually quite a few tanks buried throughout eastern Europe. There's even a Tiger II hull buried in France, but France being France... nobody is allowed to get it.
Just went to the Military Vehicle Collectors Club show over the weekend. Can confirm, when collecting Ferraris and yachts gets boring you change to tanks and APCs.
Searching for WW2 tanks in swamps and lakes, digging them out and restoring is kind of usual activity for most russian tank museums.
Seems legit. Although in the game it looks like we're just selling them back to like...Elijah Wood because he wants one for a fountain at his house or something.
@@GrayStillPlays You can buy a tank if you want, not that difficult depending on where you live, just a bit expensive
GrayStillPlays idk y’all in Poland or somethin? I mean you got every country’s tanks there fighting it out
in soviet russia tank restores you
@@GrayStillPlays it is a lagit business watch a program called combat dealers some tanks cost sell for hundreds of thousands some a million +
Gray... This is a legitimate thing, it's not a booming economy but it's an economy
levi ackerman Bovington tank museum has probably kept shops like these going for years on end.
private collectors aswell LoL
A lot of movie production companies do this to maintain their stockpile. Only a handful of Tiger 1 and 2 afterall
Still, this would be my kind of job XD
Taylor Barbieri There is actually a working tiger 2.
You know you live in a bad neighbourhood when you take your tank outside and the barrel went missing
And you notice you are on a ww2 battlefield that american and russain tanks..wait what oh god help me

More like a good neighborhood
I just want to know how they got the muzzle brake to hang in mid air like that, in perfect alignment with the mantel/breach opening?
Thomas O'Hanlon the barrel was stolen by wizards.
I will be really happy if this games spam you with missions to fix the tiger's transmission
Sends a tiger out and it breaks down as it drives out of the garage door.

Oof u cannot be trusted with the full version my child #graystillbreaksgames
I think this game has a lot of potential
Perhaps that is why they pushed the release back because Grey broke it :D
Yep, cant be trusted with the damn pressure washer in the game why should he be trusted with the full version
Gray you jackwagon...no one should trust you will a full version of a game! ...remember this is Gray still breaks games
EDIT: that poster changed my life! i had just been throwing my tanks away after i was finished rampaging ...now i will re use them!
I figured a lot of people had that same problem.
Who doesn't?

I just imagined jar jar binks getting hit in the head with a pressure washer

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger bought a tank so that he could give children rides.
He wanted to do that because he had fond memories, from childhood, of getting rides to school on a tank in Austria.
Doesn't he also have his tank from his actual Austria armored corp?

I can't imagine what would go into getting something like this back up and fully operational.
Why would you sell a tiger? I'd drive it around.
@Lachlantank Tiger 131 in The Tank Museum in Bovington,
There's actually a TV show about exactly this. I used to watch it years ago, they were a shop that did tank restoration for collectors and museums alike.
This is definatly a real thing ,I know of a small company that restores tanks mainly for private collectors .
Gray do you actually know anything about tanks outside of this game?
Clearly not
@Grease "Bullets"

Hey Grey, can you play From the Depths, or try to?
Like so Grey can see this
I dont think hes got the brains for it lol
Or patience
That seems like a game that would take a while to learn. I can take a look at it though.
GrayStillPlays u smart enough
Really fun game when you get the hang of it, I can't build anything outside of boats tho lol
@@GrayStillPlays yes takes *ages* to work the systems out properly. Was kinda fun until the latest complete imbalance patches.

How do i get it out?
Resets mission

Come on now. Don't be so hard on Gray. He's trying his best, alright?
Guderian: "Wait! ... You can do that?"
Would love to see the rest of the game. Would be cool what the developer does and how it progress goes through updates
dude..you need to stop...stop!
because of you I keep buying random games and stuff....stop..please
RealDarkBlade same i think hes gunna make my wallet emptying itself
lol yeah
Same here
You gotta realise that half the games Gray reviews are crappy games, so if you understand that you can avoid buying half the games he reviews
Finally, something good
There is a lot of tank mechanics around the world majority of them do this stuff in private.

Keep on playing this, this is actually fun to play.
game about digging tanks
GREY: can i dig tanks now?

Gray! I’m a heavy equipment and diesel engine mechanic in northern Illinois. Monday through Friday I work on semis. On the weekends, I service a number of tanks, apcs and other military vehicles in private collections around the Chicagoland area. There are actually tank mechanics!
The vehicle is a ww2 style Willy's Jeep Wrangler
Its called just a Willys Jeep. The wrangler name didnt come about until 1986. There were also jeeps produced by ford iirc.
And jeeps just a designation
The designation is Government Purposes or GP, the military slang was, JEEP, the name was Willys.
@@thomasohanlon1060 Jeep was the brand the model was a Willy's Wrangler
@@huskee_moose6039 incorrect
Fun fact, as long as you get registration, and install proper lights, as well as disarm the barrel, you can legally drive a tank on public roads. Even in California it's legal. I'd install cameras mounted to large monitors however, as most tanks don't have great visibility.
You should try to recreate all 629 experiments Jumba made in the Lilo and Stitch series in SPECIES
Tank mechanics do exist outside the military, they mostly work with museum and veteran associations to help repair tanks and artillery for display
Yeet why are all the creators nice to Gray?
Because he has a million subscribers, and even if only a small proportion of them watch a given video, that's a lot of publicity for your game.

There are tank collectors and most likely shops to fix them up at.

You can totally buy a tank. Milweb.net is just one of the sites. A Ferrari is neat and all, but a tank wont be a fast car stuck in traffic 👌

Maybe if you fully repair the tiger 1 it’s transmission might work for as much as 3 minutes! Incredible!
Yep, there are real companies that do what that game does.
I might be a bit late with this comment, but there is a dude in Holland that is restoring a Type 69 tank back to its original, much like this game does. If you're interested his channel is called MasterMilo. (He recently got the engine running after a major overhaul)
finding a tiger 1 would be an incredible find especially if it could be restored to working condition

And yes. There are tank and military museums that do this restoration work.
People have actually found buried tanks, they get stuck and just eventually covered up, but most are found in swamps, lakes, and rivers, or just in the forest.
the reality is that most of the private owners either fix it themselves or hire mechanics, it is possible that there are a "couple" of mechanics who do that specific job, other than that you obviously have the museums
one example is «The Tank Museum» in the UK who have been posting videos of their restoration work on a WWII Matilda, then you have the «Armor and Cavalry Heritage Museum» in the US that will open this year and has been restoring a bunch of tanks that were left out in the open unprotected
as for Eastern Europe there's more of that, it's not necessarily done by museums but there are people who search for parts of tanks on known locations where battles took place, not long ago (2016 or 2017) that recovered a KV-1 from a river and I've also seen a rare model of the BT-7 being recovered from a swamp (among many, many others)

As if i thought it couldnt get better.. tanks. Tanks are the best.
There's actually quite a few tanks buried throughout eastern Europe. There's even a Tiger II hull buried in France, but France being France... nobody is allowed to get it.
Well I think the fact that if you find a tank and dig it out, it's your tank, is enough reason to dig out a tank.
To be honest, if I became insanely rich I would buy a tank, and drive it to the store. Awesome through the roof man.
I'm late, but yes. There's companies such as Mortar Investments that sells tanks and other companies like Panzer Fabrik that fix them.
I want this game! I buy this game, Thanks Gray!
That workshop aggravates my inner house flipper
Thus is an actual job

Just went to the Military Vehicle Collectors Club show over the weekend. Can confirm, when collecting Ferraris and yachts gets boring you change to tanks and APCs.
