Hello everyone,
here’s another Wargaming video, explaining how the tanks work, this time about the vehicle running gear. It’s… accurate enough I suppose, but to compress the running gear principles and evolution is pretty much impossible. Considering that, it’s kinda okay.
What’s the tank at the begining? Seem like a soviet MBT?? :-/
T-72 I think.
Damn… Too new I think…
Yeah.
Funny though, how (as far as I could see) all the moving T-72s carry East German markings. Interesting, in so far, as I thought there’d be enough Soviet (or newer Belorussian) material available.
“Considering that, it’s kinda okay.”
You’re often harsh with WG. This kind of stuff doesn’t make them earn money directly and they could just no bother, I find it great.
Indeed
And much better than that fail “funny” series they were doing.
That engine at the end looks like nothing i have ever seen before. Its like a boxer engine but the cylinders oppose each other.
It’s an opposed piston engine. Not that common these days. Junkers was known for using them in aircraft I think.

I think… It’s a Soviet MBT engine, 5TD or 6TD… In, WoT, Obj. 430 is using this kind of engine…

That giant tank thingy at the beginning (no not MK I duh), what is it? :P
if you mean the MBT at the very start I have no idea, but the tank at 1:06 is the French St. Chamond tank, one of their WW1 designs, it wasn’t very good because it was too long and low and the tracks were too short so it got ditched easy
St. Charmond, thank you :)
I suspected it was no good ;)
Now that’s a very informative video. I didn’t know all those things.
I’d like to see this sort of material more often from WG. Also, a longer version with more examples, animations, schematics would be cool (does anyone know of such videos from TV shows or documentaries?)
