Let me know what you think of videos like this. I have some ideas for videos about fake tanks or I could cover more video game tanks in the future and talk about what history, if any, they have. Or I could do a separate series on fake tanks entirely.

[ants]

The T-34 Sherman is even weirder in context because the crew loadout for the tank indicates it uses the early-war turret with the commander doubling as the gunner, while the declared stats for the gun indicate it is an 85mm gun.

Wargaming employee: time add more content, what shall we include boss?

Wargaming manager: just swap the turrets around on different hulls and call it a day

[DarkButz]

Problem is WG is really starting to stretch what they're deciding to include in the game.
Soon we're gonna see stuff like: This tank never existed, but we found a diary where one Soviet soldier wrote "I wish we had a T-34 with 200mm of armor all around and a 152mm gun and that could go 70km/h" and drew a very crude version of it. So we made his wish real.

[blueknight]

Personally I have no problems with the tanks that existed being added, I don't mind blueprint tanks either, it's when they create stuff out of thin air (looking at things like the annihilator, although that's in blitz) and slap it in the game for no reason that annoys me, I stopped playing WoT about a year ago and switched to WT, it's just a more enjoyable form of suffering in my opinion, anyway looking forward to your next video cone.

[imagifyer]

The 'historical description' WG have provided for the Matilda LVT is almost entirely fabricated (the only correct part regards the number of Matildas Australia received). Post War a large number of Matilda tanks were sold off for use as farm tractors, with the turrets being removed as they served no purpose in this role. The Matildas with the staghound and LVT turrets are ex-tractor tanks that have been salvaged from various rural properties and scrap yards and have had a new turret put on for display purposes but with no internal fittings (irrc the one in the green/yellow camo was used on a paintball field).

Hey Cone will you be doing a video on Soviet Turreted Tank Destroyers, I've been really interested in the Story of the SU-100P and SU-152 Taran (Obj 120)

[dingoe]

Fun info about the staghound Matilda tank pictured with the Australian green and yellow paint job. This Matilda has a sister and is a part of the Queensland war museum in Australia. Both tanks are used as props on a paintball field as well as a partly destroyed Apache attack helicopter. I personally have played on the field that has these tanks and I must say it is quite the sight

[AlreadyTakenTag]

These tanks have to be a joke. No way wargaming is serious about this.
Wargaming will probably put a FT-17 turret on a maus hull next year and put it as a premium to tier V

[tanfosbery]

Any combination of hull and turret is possible, but surely turret ring diameter is the deciding factor as to whether it could handle the recoil of the gun in real life

[MrAlex_Raven]

5:30 "As long as it's made clear that these are not real tanks"
Meanwhile, every single Wargaming advertisement for World of Anything: "With 100% historically accurate vehicles" in every single script handed to their promoters.

[SkyFlaks]

Even if they're fake, props to WarGambling for making them look cool.

[trollingmodeactivated]

I wish there was playing mode for crazy tank modifications where you could build a tank from all the modules that are on its tier only limited by the weight limit that your chosen suspension type and strenght lets you. So you could even make a lets say a sherman hull with german tracks and suspension system and a turret from kv 1 or so

[michaeltelson]

There are so many paper panzer sun the game that these combinations aren’t far from the lengths that Wargaming will go to. For example, there was only a wooden mock-up of the T71 lt in the US tech tree. The T92 lt is a premium vehicle that had 2 actual working prototypes, one still exists at Aberdeen. Since the developers of the T 71 didn’t have a concrete design they had the chance to use it in the tech tree with 2 designs with the speculations of the designers. The T92 went straight to a single design to fulfill the requirements requested.
The T92 was set for production until it was discovered that the Soviets had an amphibious capable light vehicle and the T92 wasn’t, as it wasn’t in the requirements.

[MikeBison_]

If Wargaming would stop advertising WoT as historically accurate, I'd be more than happy to support them. The lengths they go to spread misinformation, however, is hair-pullingly frustrating.

[tsuaririndoku]

It’s funny that they didn’t use the Sherman with 122mm gun. Yeah that 122mm D54 gun… I mean the tank does exist and it might make the game even more interesting

[capfig]

Chose your fighter:
WORLD OF TANKS: unrealistic suffering
WAR THUNDER: realistic suffering

[TheAction]

This vid is like: Lets talk about fake allied tanks, that never existed vs Lets talk about the crazy german inventions, that really existed :D


Honestly I like it to see what tanks could have been, as a fan of the superheavies i love the japanese ones and the E100. Also the E - Type tanks of germany, to see what could have been the standards. The double barrel russian tanks, in fine with that.

[TheArklyte]

If I recall right, tank group in VK found all except T-34/M4 hybrid within an hour. Problem is the massive sh//tstorm that followed with people arguing if Matilda/M8/M113(cupola) abomination made by some bored rich australian counted as "historical".

[doctoberfest]

Wg: Oh no we are running out of premium tanks to sell, what should we do?
Wg Employee: Take a tank’s hull and add another tank’s turret
