"There's more to this tank than just the armored housing"
You're right, Chieftain. It's also about personality.

"There was a small incident in France..." - The most succinct summary of Dunkirk that I have ever heard. XD

[Vnx]

Even if the tank never saw service, this gives me a considerable respect that a country was able to develop it under the circumstances outlined in this video.

[Linkedition]

Can you imagine if they added Australian voice lines to WoT?

"Did the shot penetrate?"


"Yeah Nah"

[BigSwede]

"America can we buy some of your Ta... Wha, oooh, you got M2 Mediums? Never mind." Damn it Chief, not when i´m drinking!! *Wipes of monitor*

[ShuRugal]

Heh, "Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorized Listing"...

MY buddy once Tactically Acquired a complete canopy and bow set for our shop's LMTV off a broken down LMTV belonging to another unit in the motor pool... with the assistance of soldiers in that unit. Walked up to it and started working on tearing it down. Some helpful SFC saw him, asked what he was doing, and then detailed 4 more soldiers to help him...

So, if the tank has to do some deep fording of a river or perhaps an amphibious landing, do you have to place upon your armored machine gun port some sort of rubberized protection sheath? You know, to keep your rifle clean.

That armoured housing might scare the enemy on its own.

Good video on a tank not many people have a high degree of knowledge on. And you are right, the bloopers are some of the best stuff in these videos.

[GeneralJackRipper]

"It's a perfectly good tank, it's more than just the armored housing!" I find myself laughing at a 60 year old dick joke...

[danndank]

This Chieftain guy is golden. I watch every video with him. Informative and funny at the same time. Wargaming, you'd better pay him well.

[uberdice]

Australia isn't that hot, Chief. Everything only bursts into flame every couple of years.

[lordneobic]

I am glad that you tell us how to tension tracks and other aspects of maintenance for these vehicles. It is always interesting.

[hart-of-gold]

Officer: Why do you need purple paint?Tanker: Morale, Sir.

[brunossace]

Makes me very proud watching this. Thank you very much for doing this review on the Sentinel.

[WildBillCox]

An in depth look at one of my favorite "What If" tanks of the WW2 era. Thanks for posting!

[freddywarren]

Nice report. One thing to note. Australia did have heavy industry prior to WW2. Steam locomotive and steel mills in particular. In fact the US war department noted that per capita Australia was one of the top five war supply producing nations in WW2.

Only Australians would have a sense of humour when designing a tank.

[WarmongerSmurfOnXbox]

Remember there is only one thief in the Army, everyone else is trying to get their stuff back.

[jakobc.]

I imagine that when designing the hull machinegun the designer at first didnt even realize how it would look and when he finaly did he just took the piss and went the extra step to make it as cursed as possible.
