This was great fun, thanks for letting me come and climb over the tanks! :)

Can't wait for the Chieftan's top 5 pre-dreadnought battleships video

I fit reasonably well in a T-55 as it happens…TC’s position is a bit tight, though.

Legendary crossover, didn't expect to see Drach on here

Hi Tank Nuts! Let us know what you think of Drachinifel's Top 5 Tanks. Which tanks do you think deserved a place on his list?

[MajesticDemonLord]

Drach - renowned for Naval History.
The Tank Museum - Early tanks were called Land Battleships.
Drach: Close enough!

[luna-hwli]

Finally: Drach sharing his view on "big armored things with guns on them".

Ok so now we have to get an episode of the chieftain playing "ho bugger, the ship is on fire" from the depth of the boiler room of battleship New Jersey and the "all things metal that go boom" crossover will be complete

[mamarine]

A surprisingly insightful crossover. Credit to Drach for putting in some work on this!

[scholagladiatoria]

Woohoo! I did NOT expect to see you here Drach... you kept this well under your shirt! Great vid.

Either a Scorpion or Scimitar Commander in the Falklands jumped out of his Turret and sank in the boggy ground up to his knees, his vehicle was sitting on top of the ground still.

"Quite interesting " in English translates to American as "I'm super pumped about this".

Tank Museum and Royal Armories are doing a great job of engaging the online community, wish museums in the US did similar.

[stephengardiner]

That ".50 cal" at the front of the Buffalo is a 20 mm Polsten gun (quite similar to an Oerlikon 20 mm).

[andrewclayton]

It has been pointed out that due to the early involvement of the navy in tank design, a lot of terminology was adopted for the new machines. So they were equipped with Hulls, hatches, turrets, sponsons.
Taking the naval design factor to its extreme, you could have included some of the multi-turreted leviathan's that were built in the 1930s.

[kaymeinhold]

Come on Drach, the T-55 has another NAVYish connection. It may not swim on water but can kind of dive like a submarine and deep fording rivers with a snorkel.

[pinkyandbrain]

Now look at that. The grandmaster of Naval history vs the best Tank museum. ❤

[wilsonj]

Should have ended it with the 5 minute guide's computer voice "Thanks for

[Shrimping]

This is an unexpected but welcome crossover. 😊

[NAACat]

One of the top 5 (my #1) of this series based on the extraordinary combination of engaging articulate presenter and depth of information so succinctly covered.
Bravo Zulu Drach!!!
