The scene with the A7V reconstruction and many others wwere filmed in Germany, Tank Museum Munster. I’m somewhat surprised they got to film there considering the occasional tension between Wargaming and Munster.

In point 2 you are unfair towards the video, they never said what you claimed. Given that the subtitles are correct, they said “Its chassis were used AS AN EXAMPLE when building the first tanks”… They didn’t copy it, but they did observe the Holt design and were definitly influenced by it. They did not create a their track design in a vacuum.

It’s just trial and error. If I try to create a design and fail on the first attempt, my second one will be a completely new one yet still influenced by what I learned from the first try. I use my failed attempt as an example.

More precise on the first tanks – Number 1 Lincoln Machine didn’t use the Holt tracks, but a different civilian commercial track system. It’s a very minor error to confuse the company, but in essence they were right that a commercial system was first tried, found unsatisfactory, and re-designed. Wether the company to provide it was Holt or Bullock isn’t the important part.

It’s pretty cool – in my view the power train is the single most important design factor. Get the proper drive train and you can put on as much armour as you want and the best gun you got.

Not sure what “trafficability” means in their translation – traction, perhaps?

Interesting, but there are some translation errors, or at least oddities….

It’s nice to see Miklós Straussler’s V3\V4 prototype mentioned in foreign media.

What do you expect? As was explained multiple times by WarGaming-staff, WarGaming has to cater to their chosen and very spechul audience (whose spechul needs result in WG netting fewer and fewer $ but more and more ̶t̶̶o̶̶i̶̶l̶̶e̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶a̶̶p̶̶e̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶w̶̶i̶̶t̶̶h̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶i̶̶g̶̶ ̶̶n̶̶u̶̶m̶̶b̶̶e̶̶r̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶r̶̶i̶̶n̶̶t̶̶e̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶n̶̶ ̶̶i̶̶t̶ Rubles).

Another pro to the KniepKamp is that it looks awesome.
