THG promised us a different take on his Top 5 Tanks and delivered magnificently. It's a fascinating selection. Thank you THG.

Please have the history guy do you more episodes on individual tanks that would be amazing

[ScoobyMaxC]

Jaw dropped when I got this video notification. Two of my favourite channels rolled into one!

'Why do I collect army hats? Because I can't afford to collect army tanks.' I can TOTALLY relate to that statement!

[performa]

Was really looking forward to this one. I knew the History Guy would pick the weirdest, most obscure vehicles in the collection, and he did not disappoint. As much as I like the 'usual' picks for top 5 tanks, this was an absolute treat to see what we'd never see otherwise. Rock on History Guy!

This is a Tank Museum Top 5 Tanks that I anxiously awaited. THG is so very polished and thorough in his presentation, the viewer is always left with a feeling of appreciation for the insight and overall knowledge of the subject he chose for the topic. He always wears a bow tie and cufflinks associated with the segment, alas I could not make out what he chose for his shirt cuffs but the tie was spot on. He used metric measurements for armor thickness and petrol instead of gasoline, he becomes a part of the topic which is why I chose this segment as deserving to be remembered!

[renardgrise]

Um... is there a way we can have this guy do a regular segment? He knocked this one out of the park!

[flypast]

Safe to say that most of use watch the same YouTubers here, I love all the YouTubers the tank museum brings in, But this is truly the cherry on top of the cake.

Not to be rude to any of the other people who have done a top 5 tanks but I believe this chap so far has done the best one so far (apart from mr Fletcher of course). He has not just gone for the iconic vehicles as many people do, but instead he has gone for the seldom known vehicles and by doing this he not only shows off his knowledge and love of armoured fighting vehicles he also teaches us about some of the more obscure war machines.

I had no idea the museum used ARVs to move their tanks around. There can't be many museum pieces still doing the job they were designed for.

[alwayscurious]

The man, the myth, the bow tied legend!

[SibbTigre]

Got to love THG's infectious enthusiasm, and he chose a great selection of vehicles. ARVs don't get the appreciation they deserve.

[taofledermaus]

Oh wow, Historical Guy's channel has really grown since I first watched his stuff.

[GraemePayneMarine]

Very interesting, and the history of armor recovery vehicles also touches a part of my life. When I was in the US Marines, I was a mechanic for the LVTP-5 amphibious vehicles, or "AMTRACS". In training, and again in the field in Vietnam, I spent a fair amount of time around the Recovery variant, the LVTP-5R. It was designed to recover other AMTRACS and as sometimes used for trucks as well. And since there was a lot of space inside, they were also equipped and stocked to enable performing a lot of repairs "in the field". Tanks were a bit too heavy for us, though.

[Arbiter]

This is my number one of these top 5 videos. I love all the other creators you've spotlighted here, but THG's commitment to lesser known stories and his heartfelt love of that wrecked Matilda range target tugged at my own bosom. Those are exactly the sort of, too often neglected, relics I like to see when I'm visiting a museum or historic site.

[bazonka]

I very much enjoy your videos. This one as well. I think the section with you talking about the Matilda is one of my favorite segments you've done. It was so much fun to watch how excited you got about this poor little beat up tank and what it represented. Thank you for the insight in to why you do what you do.

[MichaelSchwagerPlace]

Nice one, HG! I've seen a number of "favorite tanks" videos and, although interesting, you tend to see a lot of the same stuff... This one had great crew accommodations, this one had a great gun, awesome armor here, etc. Leave it to THG to bring a fresh look to the genre. Very interesting! All of these vehicles indeed deserve to be remembered.

[MichaelLivingston-me]

I just visited the Tank Museum not long before the Pandemic. I got back to the US before we've been blocking each other's visits and social distancing.

After watching this video, I found it interesting. I was amazed by their vast collection and my fascination with tanks was saturated with my recent visit. Your choices on history certainly brings a fresh insight on these armored vehicles.

Clearly the development of the tank represents the evolution and integration of a fighting vehicle in warfare. Thanks for sharing these stories.

[markfryer]

Seriously though I did enjoy this Top 5 Tanks with THG immensely and to feature two Centurion service vehicles was great. Aussies love Centurions.

[KorbinX]

This is an awesome crossover. Thank you History Guy and Tank Museum for this!
