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.

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

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?)

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

It’s an opposed piston engine. Not that common these days. Junkers was known for using them in aircraft I think.

That engine at the end looks like nothing i have ever seen before. Its like a boxer engine but the cylinders oppose each other.
