Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: M3 Grant. Part 1

The series continues. Part 1 of the two-part tour of M3 Medium

[calska]

Filmed in the world's only tank museum/Bird sanctuary.

[entropy]

A slight altercation kicked off in Europe.

Well that's a lovely understatement.

[okrajoe]

When in doubt, add another turret on top!

[Bearthedancingman]

The Lee/Grant is my favorite tank.
It's just so delightfully weird.

[chuckm]

anti infantry death blossom of this I why I watch you.

[maxsmodels]

"Anti-infantry death blossom machine gun vehicle of doom" Seriously dude, that is the T-shirt you ne3ee to be selling!

[garyowens]

About the best thing I can say about this beast, aside from it's reliability and that it's well built, is that it looks cool as all Hell.

[cameronboyce]

Its a AIDBMGVD or as nick calls it, the Anti Infantry Death Blossom Machine Gun Vehicle of Doom

[bill_heywood]

I love the M3, it’s my favourite tank

[thetruth-hlct]

Solid Last Starfighter reference. You get a thumbs up.

[shawncarroll]

I hadn't watched this one, but was looking at the 1944 Burma campaign. Of course the Chieftain had done a tour. But the description of the M2 as a mobile machine gun nest with a 37mm gun on top to deal with tanks is precious. It made me chortle out loud.

[sheikbombalot]

“Come 1939, a slight altercation kicked off in Europe...”

Lololol!

[interdictr]

Yay, another one so soon! Thanks Chieftain!

[JoeDurobot]

I don't think the music on the background is needed, especially while the host is talking.

[ThroneOfBhaal]

2:18, why is the tank towing it's own personal bicycle wheel?

[mr.gunzaku]

I love this thing in WOT. Yeah it's got that handicap of a turret and the strange main gun placement, but I didn't do too bad in it and when you survive a game, you get a sense of accomplishment in it. That feeling only increases when you do well in it! Lol!

[timothymeyer]

Anybody see Sahara with Humphrey Bogart?

[deanferries]

Haha yes I've climbed inside that very tank in cairns, curater is a great bloke very friendly really good museum they even have a shooting range where you can shoot mg42's Brens etc.

[josephpicogna]

My uncle commanded one in North Africa. At Kasserine, they rigged a cord to both triggers and fired straight ahead, at enemy infantry, until the belts were exhausted.

[el_kraken]

Great series of videos Nick! I've been wondering: how did a tall lad like yourself get around the height restrictions for US army tankers? Do they have waivers for the tall yet determined?
