More than likely one side was fired first as soon as rounds were complete the second loader would start cycle, as loader #1 started reloading his side of the rack, #2 would finish firing when #1 finished his restack then #1 would fire as #2 started reloading his side. Rinse and repeat.
@@cursedcliff7562 ask "The Tank Museum" they have tanks from WW1,and they are in good condition. The is-7 will be easier to restore. As it is not an 105 year old tank but an 74 year old tank ( the IS-7 was made in 1946)

@@unknownaccount9605 autoloader doesnt mean the tank have all the ammunition loaded, Just like rifles, autoloaders have "magazines", it requires someone to load the magazine
Scarce is Fat essentially the same process as the amx 13 tanks. a big cylinder carrying the rounds in the turret bustle. fire all the rounds, then fall back. The entire crew would then get out of the tank and slowly reload the full cylinder
I would had went with IS-7. For me a heavy tank is a breaththrough weapon which is meant to assault heavily fortified positions and to battle enemy heavy tanks. Also, to serve as assault weapon. It's not on the other hand maneuver tank. It will always be late to support your newest pushes and it wont serve in a war of maneuver. Heavy tank role is of mobile bunker then it's not on offense. To solidify most critical spots with invincible 130 mm cannon.
From watching another video on the IS-7, what killed it wasn't teething problems or design flaws -- it was the simple fact that they couldn't transport it. It had grown to 68 tons over its design process, and the Soviet rail system only had cars that could transport tanks of up to 45-50 tons. With WWII having stood down, there was little need for a full-on heavy tank, and the lighter IS-8 (later renamed T-10) filled the medium tank role well enough; there was little interest in a design program to build railcars with a capacity big enough to carry the much more expensive IS-7, so it was cancelled.
@@seanmalloy7249 T-10 is already over that capacity limit. However, transport weight limit was upwards to 55 tons. I do think that such tanks are worth the trouble, especially as enemies had no effective means of disabling them. On tactical level they would had proven themselves unstoppable.
'130mm is a converted Naval gun', well that explains the round/propellant loading, which reflects the loading of rounds on the WWII era battleships, etc.
Most of big soviet guns like 122mm D25 family and 130mm was artillery and naval guns, Which was tested on tanks since 1940 to 1970s. Which was kind of unsuccessful due to reload system.
Great series, but the "sounds" you could call background music - i'd rather hear a M-60 patton tank engine constantly misfiring. Definitively not bearable. Nevertheless great series. Yeah.
Sorry for this really dumb question but why for some tanks does it take really long to reload the main gun? For example the 122mm on the IS-2 apparently took so long it could only fire two rounds a minute. Was it simply because the shell was heavy so two or more people were needed? Tanks like the Abrams has a 120mm but has a really fast reload time. So why was tanks like the IS-2 and Tiger so slow to reload but tanks like the.Abrams and british tanks have really fast reloads when they are 120mm?
Dodge Charger 1970 there wasn't enough space inside the tank to store the fullsize 122mm shells so they had to put them together first before they could load them
One of the most reasonable reviews a western tankie is going to give a Russian tank. The Chieftain is quite unbiased, but if you think he is then this one comes out positively glowing 😉
+S Dew Pffff. You have no clue what you are talking about. Why introduce a new tank produced to counter German Tanks when the war has finished? Also, this tank is like 65 years old. Of course there is gonna be rust in that thing when it's never in use.
+Shea Samuels but in WoT it would maybe be a semi - autoloader, you fire your drum fast, then your drum will reload shells one by one. so for example, you fire your drum of (maybe) 5 shells, with a reload between shells of 4 sec. then, you use 50 sec to reload the drum, but you can shoot in between drum reloads. like you fired your shots, and wait for reload. then, a damaged STB-1 comes to kill you after just 30 sec. then you can fire 3 rounds at it and ramming it to scrap metal. or, it takes 10 sec to reload 1 shell into the empty/half - empty drum.
professorbairos757 every tank in the game has a ready supply of ammunition in the game because you can only store so much in the turret, ready to use. Take shermans for an example, they only had so much ammo ready for the loader but the rest was stored either around the hull (or on the hull floor in later versions). If you go into war thunder you can see how these ammo setups work in their tank viewer. If they added a mechanic where the tank had to reload the ready rack then it would make sense to do that to 80% of the other vehicles in the game.
+Double A Batteries It's really just loading-assisted. Meaning that the loader doesn't have to do as much work. There isn't actually a clip of ammunition ready to go.
Nothing about this system is "auto". Auto of course being short for "automatic", and in this case, the tank loading the next shells for you without manual assist until its time to refill the clip/drum. The IS-7 in most respects performs no differently than an M4 Sherman or Tiger 1. The M4 and Tiger having smaller guns, you just pick up the one piece ammo, slide it into the breech, BOOM. The IS-7 being two piece ammunition (i.e: KV-2)... the loader(s) have to crank the pulley to load the projectile, then crank the second pulley to load the propellant, crank the third pulley to bring it all forward to the breech, grab the T-bar (as explained in the video if there wasn't a gun rammer) and manually ram it inside. At no point is any of this automatic or done by the vehicle. It's all done by a loader, the only thing the tank doing is carrying the weight of the shells in the cradles. 130mm two-piece ammo is not light in any respect. Side note: This also doesn't mean this system was "quick firing". With all this cranking and sliding, all this system provided was maintaining a certain level of battle performance up until the cradles were empty.
The reserve being foward and the drive being backward is just like a car. So as you break your body shift foward, it's easier to follwo the motion to put the gear into reverse or park. If you are breaking hard in a battlefield, you probably want to reserve really fast too, as you shift foward to use that motion to move in reverse and get out asap.
Did you invent the term: "ramming staff"? As a Yankee, I checked into the Oxford Dictionary and it concurs with Webster: Ramrod. Spanner move ;-) Good videos. Thanks!
Luckyluchs777 He was a battalion Commander (and tank Commander) and is still involved with the U.S. Divisions as a Major. Served in the 1st gulf war. So you have a long way to go. Perhaps don't go to war though!
Kricka Cosplay it doesn't have an auto loader, it has loader assist. It basically just uses a conveyor belt to help the loaders move the heavy shells and propellant into the breach without throwing their backs out.
It's pretty common for soviet tanks in general to not have turret basket, reason being the crew would not be able to access the main gun ammunition racks strewn about the interior if a basket was in the way. Western tanks lump most their ammo in more easily accessible places such as a turret bustle. That semi-auto loader is incredibly over-engineered and a western manually loaded 20 pdr, L7 105, or 120mm gun could easily achieve a higher rate of fire & switch out ammo after it has already been loaded. That armor profile though...combined with good speed, it would have been a truly fearful beast had it a more practical weapon system.
Soviet tank designers seems getting the idea to transplant the battleship turret on tank, the loading system is the most obvious hint. This idea eventually evolves to the autoloader system use in T-64 and T-72s.
Me hacen mucha gracia el control del disparador y la torreta con un mecanismo parecido a un mando de Xbox. Me parece que ya lo he visto en otros tanques soviéticos
That was very interesting and informative!! Had no clue that obj.260 was 6 rounds autoloader.. translated into WoT game, that would've been too over-powered wouldn't it...
One amazing 'fact' is that any modern shoulder fired anti-tank rocket could cut right through this thickly armored vehicle. If they lift the turret off of the hull, would they find missing socks under the turret basket? Does this automattic loader predate the T-64?
Spooky Skeleton it was built from scrap hulls and turrets found in Germany by Soviets. Parts were completely abandoned and there were no indications Germans owned them. Needles to say, it was messed like garbage inside before it was found and built.
The Japanese teenage students in the Automotive Club at Ooari Girls Academy would have that tank completely restored over night and ready for a match in the morning.
@@linggaririanto6641 Annoying little prick... Masterful tactician... But still annoying. 😉 I prefer Nonna's calm manners. The eye of the beholder I guess.
A very over optimistic design by the Soviets which is surprising that i would think the Germans would have designed something of this nature.This was in my opinion a battle tank that had great features of sloping which would have given it great protection,excellent.Yes i am very familiar with the "Turret Monster".I had installed little mesh bags tied or velcroed to the turret wall for my gunner and loader in my tank so the "Turret Monster" would not eat it,MREs and personal stuff.For me the TC i had mines stashed behind me near the rear secondary ammuntition stowage door.Keep your tank clean,everything will run smooth.
reddevilparatrooper So mines are still being used? By the U.S? Well, that IS sad indeed. Mines have a tendency to stay around longggg after the war they served, awful things. Or are they different to what I am imagining?
You know I can't help but think how cramped all of these vehicles are. I'd hate to be inside one when it's hit. Someday you might consider a video with other volunteers to fill out the crew. With 4 other folks inside you could really appreciate the total lack of space and the scramble for the hatches when something went wrong. Just a thought.
Simple. An auto-loader fully automates the processes of case ejection (if required) projectile and propellant being selected and rammed home and the breach block closing to make the gun ready. And assisted-loader on the other hand only automates part of the processes and still requires human interaction. In this case the loader must select and crank the projectile and propellant onto the rammer tray. The loaders don't need to manually haul up the first six projectiles but still are required to do some actions to make the gun ready.
Sounds erotic Crag...I mean, I guess to get young men to join up, we have "ramming things and breach block (the doc told my wife its not good to do breach block in her pregnancy).....LOL!

It's pretty common for soviet tanks in general to not have turret basket, reason being the crew would not be able to access the main gun ammunition racks strewn about the interior if a basket was in the way. Western tanks lump most their ammo in more easily accessible places such as a turret bustle. That semi-auto loader is incredibly over-engineered and a western manually loaded 20 pdr, L7 105, or 120mm gun could easily achieve a higher rate of fire & switch out ammo after it has already been loaded. That armor profile though...combined with good speed, it would have been a truly fearful beast had it a more practical weapon system.
Soviet tank designers seems getting the idea to transplant the battleship turret on tank, the loading system is the most obvious hint. This idea eventually evolves to the autoloader system use in T-64 and T-72s.
To sum up Inside the Chieftain's Hatch : "cramped" "in the way"
"cramped" it loader position in the t34 85
it`s "a little bit" cramped

Me hacen mucha gracia el control del disparador y la torreta con un mecanismo parecido a un mando de Xbox. Me parece que ya lo he visto en otros tanques soviéticos
That was very interesting and informative!! Had no clue that obj.260 was 6 rounds autoloader.. translated into WoT game, that would've been too over-powered wouldn't it...
"Autoloader". By the looks of it, it takes 8s to load..
Yup, WG always said they had to heavily nerf the IS-7 with regards to its real life counterpart or else it would have needed a 11th tier.
I wish the IS-7 had a seven round carousel in the game...LOL
One amazing 'fact' is that any modern shoulder fired anti-tank rocket could cut right through this thickly armored vehicle.
If they lift the turret off of the hull, would they find missing socks under the turret basket?
Does this automattic loader predate the T-64?
Oooooooh that’s why I randomly lost my arm when I was turning my turret.
30 seconds in and I realize I could never be a tanker.....I wouldn't fit through that top hatch lol
The quality of the production of this tank. Would never pass in the west.
Most prototypes aren't things of beauty.
The point is to see, if you can get everything cramped in and working,
not to win awards.
Is-3 please
Finally
That armour!
Notice that german tanks arent as rotten inside as russian?
Why are you so sure? MAUS is completely rotten. Tigers mostly too, except those placed in foreign museums.
Spooky Skeleton
so what? That's what's called rotten!
And it were Soviets who built Maus at Kubinka.

And it were Soviets who built Maus at Kubinka
Spooky Skeleton
it was built from scrap hulls and turrets found in Germany by Soviets. Parts were completely abandoned and there were no indications Germans owned them. Needles to say, it was messed like garbage inside before it was found and built.
Spooky Skeleton
that's what I call scrap parts. They were found in Germany without any owner. So, I guess Russians are the first who built it.
Probably a wide angle gopro or smth similar for the cramped interiors would be better.
it seems like it was more of a platform to put all the advanced technology gained from WW2 into one vehicle
This beast could do with some TLC
The Japanese teenage students in the Automotive Club at Ooari Girls Academy
would have that tank completely restored over night and ready for a match
in the morning.
As a present for Nonna. 😁

I prefer Nonna's calm manners. The eye of the beholder I guess.
@@imrekalman9044 yeah Nonna also has two 122mm shells ... you know what I mean 😏
@@linggaririanto6641 She also has the chamber for a much larger one. 😇
This is about tanks, right? RIGHT? 🤣
A very over optimistic design by the Soviets which is surprising that i would think the Germans would have designed something of this nature.This was in my opinion a battle tank that had great features of sloping which would have given it great protection,excellent.Yes i am very familiar with the "Turret Monster".I had installed little mesh bags tied or velcroed to the turret wall for my gunner and loader in my tank so the "Turret Monster" would not eat it,MREs and personal stuff.For me the TC i had mines stashed behind me near the rear secondary ammuntition stowage door.Keep your tank clean,everything will run smooth.
reddevilparatrooper So mines are still being used? By the U.S? Well, that IS sad indeed. Mines have a tendency to stay around longggg after the war they served, awful things. Or are they different to what I am imagining?
You know I can't help but think how cramped all of these vehicles are. I'd hate to be inside one when it's hit. Someday you might consider a video with other volunteers to fill out the crew. With 4 other folks inside you could really appreciate the total lack of space and the scramble for the hatches when something went wrong. Just a thought.
Is7 is the scariest tank I have ever seen
So the Is-7 has a built in ammo rammer? Does the one IN WOT have that feature as standard equipment too ?
So why is this not an autoloader in WOT?
2150 hp, One of the strongest armored vehicles ingame, and a autoloader Would rape Every tank
Assisted loading is not the same as automatic loading.
It be op
@@Jimbotheone its semi automatic
"Into the toilet I go!"
*disappears into the tc hatch*
Soviet engineers have Design Addictions of adding more than Extra coaxial Guns and periscope and mainly design their Tank for Midgets.
I understand the massive under taking, but the interior needs to be restored in this one.
What's the difference between an auto-loader and an assisted-loader?
Simple. An auto-loader fully automates the processes of case ejection (if required) projectile and propellant being selected and rammed home and the breach block closing to make the gun ready.
And assisted-loader on the other hand only automates part of the processes and still requires human interaction. In this case the loader must select and crank the projectile and propellant onto the rammer tray. The loaders don't need to manually haul up the first six projectiles but still are required to do some actions to make the gun ready.
+Cragified thanks much
Sounds erotic Crag...I mean, I guess to get young men to join up, we have "ramming things and breach block (the doc told my wife its not good to do breach block in her pregnancy).....LOL!
Looks like it's been standing outside for quite a number of years
At 11ish minutes i was terrified he was going to poke his eye out on that hanging thing
