Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: ISU-152, Episode 1

Nicholas Moran continues his tour of the most interesting military vehicles. This time, he examines the famous Soviet ISU-152 tank destroyer. How does it differ from the SU-152? What's common between the ISU-152 and some German vehicles? And why should the external fuel tanks not be considered a weakness? You will find answers to these questions and more in the new episode of "Inside the Chieftain's Hatch". Let's watch!

PLEASE, ditch the Music. It has done its job, after the intro!!!

The ISU-152 is also useful to take the family out for a nice city tour. Also. No parking problems. You can create a nice parkingspace with the 152 gun which is included in the 'outdoor' package. When upgraded to the 'executioner' package, you get hull colored lightingbezels and complementary log to go. /s

Once again if the music didn't repeat over and over and over again, these would be much better.

The when you really have to kill that spider

"What size gun do you want?"

Well, what are we putting on light cruisers these days?

[crapphone]

The armor on the back of the fighting compartment of this assault gun is actually thicker than the deck armor on the IJN Kongo. A thundering beast indeed.

I'd like to see a game that puts you in the shoes of a tank crew going through a theatre of war, meaning you gotta take care of the tank (to a certain extent), sleep, etc

"If you need to remove a building, or half a city block." LOL

[jasonamundsen]

the music is just painful.. please upload again without it because otherwise this is a very solid video

[Spagghetii]

This is an excellent series and you are a great presenter, i love that you take your time and show off the little things around these vehicles.

The music is very intrusive and annoying.

9:05 The Mythbusters tested whether or not you could set off a barrel of gasoline by shooting at it once. No matter what they shot the barrels with the barrels would not explode. Normal rounds, incendiary rounds, FMJ rounds, nothing happened. The only thing I can think of that would cause a barrel of fuel to explode with a tank round is that it's an incendiary shell that somehow slows down enough on impact to still be in the cloud of vaporized fuel and thus ignite the fuel cloud and cause a thermobaric explosion.

I feel a bit inadequate looking at that gun..

The drivers fuel tank. Full of vodka to keep the driver lubricated.

I agree with the comments about the annoying music. Please fire whoever thought it was a good idea to include it.

[A.F.M.B.]

Odd that this video is flagged as 'Mild violence' I understand they like being safe but what's violent about the chieftain... or a hunk of metal O.o

[SDeww]

god i hate the music running on the background!!

[si_vis_pacempara_bellum]

I was in one of the ISU-152 back in Beijing, they had a tank museum on the outskirts of the city. Very poorly maintained... I was brought there by a PLA army Captain, he outranked pretty much everybody there, so we were free to go into vehicles. They got some interesting stuffs, there was a Stuart parking on the side, al the internals were gone, there was a wood stick in the main gun...

You’re hiding the truth. SHOW ME THE STALINIUM REACTOR!
