Could you do a video about Fractalsponge’s Star Wars tank and walker designs? They are really cool, and I think you’d like how they interpret Star wars’ design style into more (and less) practical vehicles.
yes wheeled vehicles are more efficient walkers have to move their legs up and down and this is waste of energy and they are too long. just a perfect target for x wings
@@thekingtiger8193 Walkers, if done *right* could have advantages over tanks, but it would require you to be invading something insanely rocky or rough, to the point that tanks can't even cross it.
@@thekingtiger8193 AT-ATs are cannonically invulnerable to rebel weapons except for their very top armour, which requires a dive attack that makes the ship vulnerable to TIEs and AA. hence why in episode V they take a direct hit from a heavy laser cannon to the leg joint and it does absolutely nothing.
My father lived in the twin where they would test the UDES XX and he has memory’s of watching it drive on the roads, he’d also see a few SAAB 32 Lansen fly over his house. And that is the only reason I know it existed and what it was gonna be used as. In my opinion it’s a really neat idea but it has its problems. Oh and I just want to say for fun that one of the problems it had was it could not reload the 120 mm gun if it wasn’t pointing straight forward, and they never found a way to fix this. Great video! And keep up the amazing work!!
Object 760 was not a hover tank, it was a counter intelligence tactic employed the soviets against foreign spies. It was actually made due to the Soviets lacking a good graphics card. True story
you are killing it with these vids; I genuinely have never heard of any of these. You are waaaay better than all those other youtubers who try to make this sort of video, who just list off the same tanks everyone has seen before. BTW, I wanted to ask if you have any interest in checking out the vehicle designs of the Metal Gear series? I think you might enjoy it because they have a fun mix of super ridiculous unrealistic vehicles (like Metal Gear RAY and REX), and actually quite grounded designs (Gekko, Shagohod, TX-55, and Metal Gear D). It's also the only series I can think of where Mechs are actually strategic weapons rather than tactical ones with half the Metal Gears being more analogous to nuclear submarines than tanks; which certainly puts an interesting spin on the design philosophy. Actually, speaking of Metal Gear, you might want to check out the series that inspired a lot of those designs, "Maschienen Kreiger" (I think I spelled that right) which has some of the most grounded mech designs I've ever seen.
I haven't seen or heard about the Wombat in 15 years since that Discovery Channel documentary Thank you for finding the footage because I thought it was a fever dream
Wombats can run faster than a fair amount of humans, are partially bulletproof to some calibres due to extremely dense bone, and are well known for crushing dingos heads. In short, they may look adorable, but they can definitely intimidating creatures...
technically, some SPGs can be considered as such. but otherwise, i don't think so. having two guns inside of the turret add only one pro (twice the firing rate ) but lots of cons, so, only usefull for units where volume of fire is important enough to justify a fat (and then, poorly armored) turret.
I know you've never seen a wombat face-to-face, but they're a lot more menacing than meets the eye. You can hit them at 90kph (almost 60mph) and they'll leave a wombat print in the radiator and walk away like nothing happened. They also have claws and can weigh almost 40kg
Dude that gameplay of the 279 makes me sad. I grinded as hard as I could for that thing during the event but was unable to get it. It was truly a painful moment for many WT players
You should take a look at the designs of the Battletanx series. I'm interested to hear your thoughts about a tank that can literally flip over and still function fine or that one tank that has a minigun welded into the hull.
For real, should have used something like the HSTV, Leo 2K, T59E1 or whatever other proto tank.... 279s, 685s, Bitch 7s.... These are all my to TK if in RB list
Obj.760 was more a testbed/proof of concept on its idea. A look into "Should we even interest ourselves with this, is there any possibly we might regret ignoring this concept in the future?" (A worthy mention none the less!)
Fun Fact: The Obj. 760 stems from various similar hovertanks before it, dating to the 1930s, designed by Vladimir Israilevich Levkov. Fun Fact 2: The HT-95 "Levkov" from Battlefield 4: Final Stand was named after said designer (and was essentially just a Strv-103 with jets on the bottom).
You should do a video on Brigador's tanks. There are three factions andI imagine you would have a lot to say about each: One has fairly conventional tanks, one has ramshackled and improvised war machines, and the last has a lot of technology that is taken directly from space vehicles. There's an in game option to get close ups of all the tank models as well as the various lore behind them and a lot of the technologies that make it possible. It seems right up your alley and is currently on sale on steam. Alternatively, Mandaloregaming put out a video on it and has an affiliate link that would allow you to get a slightly better deal on GOG.
When I saw the HSFV, I wondered where I saw it before. Then it dawned on me: It's the Expeditionary Tank in Armored Warfare. Though, no autoloader in that capacity.
Not sure if you’ll ever meet one since most of the population here down under probably won’t meet a wild one in their lifetime but Wombats are highly aggressive and know how to intimidate since that’s their primary defence strategy. They’re known for charging without notice and have enough mass to crit (see: break) your ankles if you’re not prepared. They love to scare tourists who think they’re just fluffy Aussie bunny equivalents but if there’s one thing about the fauna here: expect the unexpected.
the DFSV looks and sounds very practical, and similar to the stryker in concept.... i find it extremely weird and ironic then that it lost to the m8ags, which itself lost to the stryker later on... lol.
"Would have named it something more intimidating"
He doesn't know about wombats.

Aren’t they known for killing things with there arses?

HD--40T "Womble". Never produced because of its tendency to miss shots, lob grenades into friendly infantry, and spontaneously commit war crimes
5:06 Looks like the enemy tank already got hit. Looks like we can stop for repairs.
Mike is so OWO
The funniest thing is that’s clearly an IS-8, or T-10, which is unfortunate because I bet they used it as target practice.
I remember seeing the HD-40T on tv. Right around the time they started speculating on stealth tanks.

I've always wondered, why do the Russians call their tanks "Object"?
it means thing in russian so NATO can't identify it. thing 267 doesn't make sense. so that's the reason why, just means thing
Object is as generic as a description can get.
@@impendingshark117 but only prototypes and projects were named an object/thing
@@ancientwarrior3482 that is correct
That's the designation for non-serial or test vehicles, iirc.
Same as US putting a T in front of everything they haven't put into production yet.
Idk why anything that starts with "Object" then like 3 numbers sounds so intimidating but damn if it is.

I would like to see what you would design if you were designing tanks in WW2. Using the tech and limitations at the time. Don’t forget about terrain.
Maybe you could cover the osorio? I know the only prototypes did see official service, but not much exists on what happened afterwards.
