Fuck, I’ve watched the “Bratva i Kolco” by Goblin before I’ve watched the original LoTR. It was really good, really post-modern translation. It’s a shame, that the LoTR translation experience was unique: neither “funny” SW translation by Goblin, nor other wannabee funny-translation were as good as the original “funny” LoTR.
Pretty much the only good piece in the genre I know.

How about you follow your own advice?

Yes, if one is able to hit the target in the first place. The testing of fire was done from close range with charge values altered to simulate range. The tank had been subjected to many strikes from multiple unknown calibres before the 122 rounds were tested. Any tank hammered sufficiently will yield eventually…durr. Show me pics of KTigers penned from the front in battlefield conditions and I will be a convert…

The problem is Germans went with “hard” steel . Which is ideal against low caliber weapons as it increases the chance of it bouncing off. But hard steel has a disadvantage when wit with large caliber shells there is an appalling amount of spalling. It is the opposite with softer armour used by the US and the Soviets .. But as calibers grew large very fast as the war progressed hard armour became a liability.

122 shells wreck any heavy cat ….. You would have to crank the pedantry upto 10 to argue against that.

Goblin was the best-known movie voice-over translator in Russia during the 90′s and early naughts. His one-voice dubs were much closer to the original than any other pirate or even official dubs, and he often did his own versions of very popular films with his very own script and Russian pop-music added – all highly comedic. His version of LoTR was almost as popular as the original in Russia.

This video is done with only the Russian audience in mind. Maybe a lot of people here will like it, but for me personally – seems like they could of used him for comedy (his claim to fame) instead of doing something serious with him.

Interesting reading, but the conclusions drawn by the blog author are absolute bullshit.

Read the comments section, consider every claim and counter-claim, then differentiate the truth.

German battle reports during WW2 claim that Königstiger’s frontal hull nor turret armor was never penetrated. Those reports have been studied to be very accurate and reliable in comparison to allied reports, soviet reports being the worst quality. Maybe it’s from soviet reports, the claim that Königstiger frontal hull armor was brittle, though it is true it wasn’t the best quality armor germans could produce at the time. The vehicle however suffered from mechanical unrealiability, mostly due to weak engines.
