    • It was leaking oil from the gearbox, since it was coming from the rearmost section. A worn out gasket, no big problem as long as they don’t drive it for too long.

  1. I think it was pissing oil…such a shame, but more than likely a lot of seals in the engine have failed over the years of storage.

        • It is like that. But stronk WG made it even “more historical” Lower and wider means more angled armor and more bounces. If it was like irl it would be much easier to hit and pen.

  2. impressive.

    Is it just me or does the incarnation in WoT look much flatter? I did not picture it that high from the ingame model…

    • Exactly, seems that the WoT model is a bit too “small” compared to the real life counterpart.

      SS, can you perhaps confirm if it’s the right size?

      • Truth be said, Obj 268. was not a converted IS-8 hull but build completely from scratch and there are differences in size and proportions between this and IS-8 but I think that its just a camera thing that it seems to be taller than in-game

  3. 10:56 – the black panel on the right side (probably blurred in postproduction)… the colorful shapes on it seem to be a bit familiar, they look like Wargaming.net log oand the World of Tanks: Roll out logo… :D

    Dunno the reason why they’re censored… probably the authors of the video found WG to be “not patriotic enough” :D

  4. That was water from the drain plug in the engine compartment. The off color is cause by rusting.

          • Nope. It’s historical fact that ruski tenks were flat and angled too stronkly for Kraut shells to bounce. Kappa

    • And why are you guys surprised by this? it happened for alot of in-game tanks. The only chance it will somehow be fixed, is with the HD model introduction.

    • Hm, yes. It looks different in the video than ingame.
      But look at the dimensions. 3388mm(wide) x 2423mm(height) Thats a ration of 1.40
      Does it look 40 wider than higher? Maybe POV is a bitch???
      Ingame the ratio seems right.
      Just my 2 eurocents

  5. How many times there was posted a pic of a King Tiger and Sherman next to eachother and it was clearly visible that Sherman is even taller than KT and WG never cared to fix that. Sherman ingame is way way lower than KT, but you know “historical accuracy” Also it’s perfectly clear how lower ingame 268 is compared to RL, but they don’t give a shit.

    • I have both 1/72 scale models of the KT an the Sherman and both have the same height. The KT is wider and larger of course.

      • Ok maybe that one has broken suspension so Sherman looks higher, but as Zeus said they should be at least the same height. Now go compare ingame Sherman and KT.

  6. No offence but this guy does a much better job than The_Chieftain hatch videos. The filming is more professional, audio is well fit to the entire video and that rusky guy acts more chill and his speech has a better “knows his shit” flow like.

    WG could learn a thing or two from this video. Shame no subtitles btw.

  7. I kinda like everything but i mind the gun damage,cuz ive done 578 dmg in one shoot,thats bad very bad,and before nerf it never goes below 700,i want that back,so it can be dangerous again !!
