[TheArmchairHistorian]

Some tanks, such as the T-26, were not included in this video due to budgetary constraints. We can make a follow-up video including some tanks we missed, as well as tank destroyers and self-propelled guns if you guys are interested! :)

[americantitan]

Really feel like the T 26 should’ve been in here considering how many of them were made and how important it was to early Soviet war doctrine

[xbaumann]

The most shocking part was that wargaming or warthunder didn’t sponsor this episode

[AlphaArcturus]

"and preventing our animators launching revolution"

Lmao

[Warrior_Within]

I am from Russia, the T-28 was never considered a heavy tank, in the Soviet classification it was always a medium tank because it weighs only 25 tons

[brandonlee]

"American tractors have guns"

Damn right they do

[napoleonibonaparte]

This is such a happy video…

Primarily because they have no depression.

[QualityPen]

“The tank was X fast on road and X fast offroad.”

Rural Russians: “Road… Offroad… What’s difference?”

[GhostHacker]

I'm surprised you treated the lack of a loader in the T-14 as notable given the fact that every single Russian tank from the T-72 onwards has used an autoloader.

[LuigiCadornara]

"we will not be covering self propelled guns "
sad su152 noises.

[PrometheanGOld]

The thumbnail is G L O R I O U S, your artists do a fantastic job!

[blinthepannkek]

"And preventing our animator's worker's revolution of their own."

*Seize the means of animation production*

[christianharris]

I am in absolute disbelief that the Tsar Tank was not covered in this video, truly the tank of all time.

[theminipetabyte]

Gotta love slapping ERA on anything and everything to modernize it!

[deadjustdead]

“Behold the Russian death fridge”

I was not expecting he say that

[dukekevy]

“Tanks everyone, now I’m a Major Superpower!”

[MaceLupo]

The Russians did not fight the Taliban. The Taliban where founded in the early 90s when the Russians already have left Afghanistan. The Russians fought the Mujahedin.

"The IS-2 also had a MG to ward off luftwaffe attackers"
It's cute how you assume the luftwaffe was still a threat when the IS-2 was used:P

[mistifalcon]

The info was enjoyable, but the cherry on the cake is the pure art of the animations; really, your animators are absolutely incredible.

[CharcharoExplorer]

22:22 - the IS-3 had a hemispherical turret, not a pike-nosed one. Its frontal glacis is pike-nosed.
