I used to draw tanks as cross-sections so I'd like to see more of these. It just shows so much detail!
Let meguess, you would give some tanks you made as much slope as you could making stuff that looks like strv 103s with out even knowing of them
@@loganwalker8537Yes I do that but with the Bob semple
@@loganwalker8537 Actually it was just any Warhammer or real-life tank which would be in my doodles, showing post-penetration damage etc.
@@sdfarsight i mostly just drew tank that looked super afvance
Even drew something that looked like a merkava xd
I love drawing tanks I draw cross sections sometimes but not as often as just what you'd see from the outside. Normally I draw custom tanks but based of irk tanks so you'll see similarities, for example I made a flamethrower tiger with exterior armor strapped around the sides and turret

KV-1 is consider one of my favourite WW2 heavy tanks as they are not only iconic but also having a toughest armour back at the early years of the war. Which is later then replace with the IS series.
Nothing was better than the King Tiger tank of WW2. The Germans though were unable to mass produce them.
@@jamesofficial6829The tiger 2 was terrible. Way to heavy.
KV-1 tank really tells you that Armor and bulk isn't always the right way, its mobility and power in speed. Basically a mix between light medium and heavy tonks.
That was the idea behind Main Battle Tanks, IIRC.
@@mayuri4184 Except now they don't do the "tanking" job that Heavy Tanks were supposed to do to begin with.
"The firepower of a Super-Heavy Tank, the packaged weight of a Medium Tank, -the armored protection of a Heavy Tank,- and the mobility of a Light Tank"
@@mekingtiger9095 It wasn't necessary for decades.
I could see myself enjoying superior survivability vs better offending capabilities.
Kv1 would have been even greater if it had a bigger gun
It's worth mentioning that there is one captured Kv-1 that was modified by the Germans with a 7.5cm cannon and cupola taken from a panzer III.
The kw1 747 i think?
@@loganwalker8537 in world of tanks they called it Pz.Kpfw. KW I (r)
It is a WOT fantasy tank. For starters, the Pz III never had a 7.5cm (75mm) gun. Before believing everything you read, you should study the effect turret rings have on what type of gun can be mounted.
The KV1 was a disaster, armed with the same almost worthless gun that the original T34 had. It was upgunned to the F34 gun but was still very ineffective.
@@mercedes1254 - AusF N mounted the 7.5mm KwK37 L24 canon.
You should read more.
Soviet tanks really aren't the most comfortable for the crew. But early on in the war being in the KV-1 was probably the best tank to be in for Soviet crews to be in thanks to its armor. Not like that's saying much when T-26s, T-35s, and BT series tanks were around at the same time. But it still proved effective against early Panzer IIIs and IVs.
KV-2 is still best KV tank with its 152mm derp gun.
Not to forget their tank destroyer SU series. They did a plenty of funny prototypes before optimising them. Like SU-100Y and SU-152
@@maximus28549 "They did a plenty of funny prototypes before optimising them. Like SU-100Y and SU-152"
Eh, there were 700 Su-152 built, so i find it hard calling that a prototype. And it was replaced by the ISU-152 because the SU used the KV chassis, production of which was replaced by the IS, which the ISU-152 uses. In fact, the SU-152 was the only reason the KV chassis stayed in production as long as it did.
The KV2 was an awful design. It could only rotate its turret on flat ground, incredibly top heavy. The turret would rotate on slopes and unbalance the tank. The main gun would often break the turret housing when it fired as well.
Yeah but the Russians didn't make that many KV-2s despite it's huge flaws. Around 210 were literally built and completed. The KV-3 and KV-4 and the KV-5 would've interesting to see at least one of those fully constructed but those only existed in blueprints.
KV 1 was a magnificent steel beast in the early years of ww2.
True
Never reached Helsinki
@kevjtnbtmglr because the environment of finland was not suitable for heavy tanks as the KV that's why the USSR focused more on lighter and front protected tanks to be mass produced
@@steelnail1917 yea and you forgot one thing; when these tanks rolled through the lines, finnish infantry jumped on top of them.. as you wrote not suitable environment
@@kevjtnbtmglr yes for the BT-5s and BT-7 they burn like matchsticks when hit the engine compartment but most finish and soviet soldiers would not risk jumping on thoses machines by being run over or shot by the soldiers seeing so instead they would hide in a pit and wait to throw flammable bottles to the engines and the BT-5 and BT-7 were the only mobile tanks suitable for finland while the KV-1s were heavy they weighed 46 tons but much harder to counter due to the KV-1 having multiple machine guns spots including the rear but thats the whole reason why the finland operation didn't succeed because its light tanks burn and heavy tanks sink and soviet infantry had no clue about the ambushes but the KV-2 on the other hand did good at its job because it did not need to go directly to the front lines since the KV-2 obliterates a fortified position in a kilometre. When the KV-2 design was finished two weeks later they are already participating on the front lines fresh out of the oven because the Soviets thought it would be a good idea to put 158mm navel gun on a tank
Fun Fact - when the German invade the Soviet Union, they really expect it gonna easy ride since the initial attack, they encounter bunch of easily destroy T-26 tank but as they get deeper into the Soviet territory, they suddenly encounter the main backbone of the ussr armor corps, the T-34 and Kv's, then that were they trouble start. Even their latest Panzer 3 50mm gun both short and long barrel had difficult time to destroy this tank simply because of they were well armored and robust. Worse that majority of their frontline anti tank gun were 37mm, they pour alot of shell of this tank but simply all of it bounce off, so it quite a shock the German. Hence why they develop the 50mm and later 75mm PAK and Panther and Tiger tank
Duolingo much?
Dude, the Tiger tank was in developement even before operation Barbarossa.

Nice detail animating the crews while shells bounce to stop any possible shrapnel to hit them if the armor shattered
*one of my favourite tanks*
Thank you as always for your great videos Simple History 😉
I'm always learning something new from simple history, I love this channel! Thanks guys!
Something i put in your last video, in summary thank you for starting my life in history with your flamethrower video, it has spread to many other things like scince, a stronger love for tradys things, coding, and more,
I rember these older videos, also just nice to know the voice of the other guy was probably the creator, i rember the first one i watched, the flamethrower one, from that one day a avrage young boy who had very few real talents, hated learning and probably wasn't going to have much of a future, started down the track of history, from you guys i whent further, as you can tell the helllenistic age was a very big part and still is, my love for history grew, from it inarged many new loves for things.
Now im lucky to be relatively high at school rankings enjoying one of the best in my country able to help friends and teach at times,
Im not able to work quite yet but when i do i give my word to return some of what i have to that wich got me here, and to my future,
May god bless you simple history, you have helped to make my life, and have always been an amazing source of knowledge,
Perhaps one day i may even be able to help in other ways and assist in making videos for the next generation so they get the same id not better chance then i did... (although my goal has always been to teach it myself one day it would be cool to work with you) ice just relised i whent on a bigger tangent then i relised so heres what i put before this part
I was going to put a list of ideas but i don't think i should.....
Also longer isnt always better rember that but still some longer would be better but most can stay the same or even be shorter
I love these in the life of a tank videos make more please keep up the good work
9:25, fact is disputed. While yes, some sources say that it’s a KV-1, other sources including some of the most recent research points towards it actually being a KV-2 during the battle Rasniai.
Кв 1! Кв 2 не мог так быстро разбить колонну немцев из-за медленной перезарядки... V
It would be awesome to have a cross section on the Tiger tank. Thank you for all your hard work
The moment I saw that legend from World of Tanks, the KV-5, that grappled my attention.
Keep up the good work and I love the kv1 tank it is so cool to look at
I like to think that the Soviets were finding a way to destroy concrete bunkers and when they looked at a fridge and decided that would be the basis for a new turret design to slap it on top of a KV-1 hull with a 152mm
I remember that KV-2-2-2 meme that they just slap the fridge on top for 3 layer
7:48 idk why, but i liked the detail that the top view of the torret/tank was with the hud of Warthunder x-ray xD
When are we going to get a cross section for the British tanks like Churchill, Cromwell, Valentines, Matildas, and several others
I always liked the Churchill tank. I'm ngl, idk much about weather or not it was any good. But it is a beautiful looking vehicle imo.
We need cross sections of the Panzer 4, Panther, Tiger and King Tigers
A funny myth story about KV-1.
During the battle kv-1's engine is conked-out, and germans realized to drag that tank to germans positions. They brought two PZ3s and hooked kv-1, when they started to drag the tank, kv-1 started the engine from the push then kv-1 draged these pz3s to soviets position. :)
That War Thunder description though.......
My best memories from World of Tanks are with KV-2 and it's 152mm derp gun.
Please keep doing more tank vids like this
Finally, one of my Favorite Tanks finally get to be in a video.
Im playing war thunder specifically with the kv 1 right when i got the notification for this video
Its worth noting that the KV-1 could be penetrated by the longer barreled 75mm Panzer 4's during the earlier years of its introduction against the Germans, the 88 want the only gun that could take it out. Its also worth noting that the designation for the KV-1s front armor was 90mm, not 110mm. The KV-1 also had 75mm side armor, not 90mm side armor. The KV-2 however did have 110mm armor, but it and its turret size were worse for the tank in terms of weight. Just a small correction, other than that great video.
Kv2 didnt have 110mm armor anywhere it was 75mm all around the tank
@@Hakurou6636 The KV-2 did have 110mm of armor. Its a well documented fact. Look it up. The Frontal armor of the KV-2 was 110 mm, while the sides were 75mm. The 110mm compensated for the KV-2's massive turret profile.
@@ArcticWolf00Alpha0 source? And which model 1939 or 1940?
Ironically, the KV prototype almost killed its namesake, Kliment Voroshilov. During a life fire test, a shell narrowly missed the observation point where the marshal was.
russian bias
Pure 100% stalinium armor

Keep doing more tank vids, i'll waiting for Tiger II 🐯
Simple History learning us to be better at "war thunder", upgrading crew man skills +1 ☠
That was the greatest sponsor clip you’ve done.
This is a issue with the T-34 and KV series of tanks the handle to change gears was very heavy and stiff which made it har to change gears and it didn’t help how it was so cramped 6:52
Awesome video❤❤❤
No one is talking about the kv-5 at 1:47
Have a great week everyone ❤😊
please do one for the French Char B1 :)
I am playing War Thunder right now. I wish you guys had a special for subscribers with current accounts.
Anyways, great video! It helped me understand for myself and in game knowledge
KV1s to think that it outcompeted the SMK and T100 tanks in the 1940 Winter War and yet the KV1s continued and did the best...
Another banger vid
I'd just add that KV-1 was constantly tweaked and improved, that eventually lead to IS-1 whose lieage can be directly traced to the OG KV-1
01:07 bro engineer what are you doing 🤨
The fins absolutely wrecked the KV-1s in the winter war. They only ramped up production in the Soviet union because they had nothing else better to use.
Germans and fins had no direct means of destroying kv-1 since 20-37-40-50mm didn't do anything also at the time anti-tank rifles were not enough Fins destroyd a lot of BT light tanks that finish could penetrate with anti-tank rifles 20mm and 45mm they also had help from winter ussr tanks performed poorly in Finland breaking down a lot and by that time KVS were poor in number. By the end of war 1940 I think that Finland bought stug 75mm from Nazis but never had to use it against new ussr tanks such as t-34s is-tanks etc... They would't no been able to stop these new machines without their own new tanks and weapons. 75 mm high velocity and 88mm were only effective weapons.
Consider they lost twice , maybe they didn't destroy them as well as you think they do
Hmm but they lost, they was so mad that they allied with German
@@huyhoangtahuu9733 "Lost" LOL they were never in the Soviet Union even. Cope.
Lost maybe, but kept our independence without soviet occupance or being forced to speak russian, I consider it a win no matter how you want to view it.
Those planes looked well below stalling speed!
The Finns brutalized soviet Tankers lol
I read that as Soviet tanks at first
They still lost tho
@@okand1921yeah but soviets had 10 times more casualties and Finland still kept its independence
@@Hakurou6636 25/110
That's not a KV-2! It's Stalin's refrigerator!
Pls do a video on the IS-1
I wonder what rhe KV1 veteran crews thoughts too were when they encountered the Panzer III or IV or the PaK 36/37 and then eventually Panzer IVs with longer barrelled guns or the 88mm Flaks or the Tiger I or PaK 38 and 40s
Great video Can we get a crossout section of the M26 Pershing? its a medium tank many don't associate with except in Korea
"Most comprehensive battles"
Random HEAT shell: *Bounces and changes direction 3 times before returning to the original strike point and finally working as intended*
You should do a cross section of the is2 tank
This ad read felt like Badger wrote it and I love it
Just wanted to say I love this channle. And I love that there is always somthing new to learn from Each video. Thank you.
The War Thunder ads caught mr off guard because of hos fittingly well your voice is to be used for War Thunder comme
I think the words Carnival of chaos describe War Thunder the best and I love it
The Commander that you show is actually the Loader, the Commander of the KV-1 on the right side of the Gun Breech.
9:42 - 9:53 : Russian war movie named "Tankers" was inspired by that 🗿🍷
2:45 Oh man, the nightmare from Company of Heroes 2 is back 😨
Very nice, can you able to "life inside of strumtiger" next?
7:50 Does this creator think the entire crew was in the turret? Look at the top-down view.
Lmao 😂
Might have been a animation/animator error xD
The Kliment Voroshilov tank was practically immune to the 3.7 cm KwK 36 and howitzer-like, short-barreled 7.5 cm KwK 37 guns mounted on Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks but long 7.5 cm KwK 37 guns were very much a threat more then even 8.8cm various flak guns of the Germans as number fielded & ability mount a gun is very important.
10.5 cm leFH 18 was another dangerous German piece.
Mind for all your mention of guns from what I read mines were more of a concern by Russian Kv tank crews for such heavy vehicles with a high ground pressure has limited paths of terrain they could follow when compared to a T34 let alone a T70 which the latter light tank doesn't get the praise it should.
If you know solid ground from soft ground you know were any Kv tanks will cross which is why they were not the super weapon the soviet union was hoping though were effective when the transmission wasn't buckling or breaking.
The tiger 1 tank had 1.10 kg/cm²= 15.646PSI minimum & why the tiger 2 was purposely reduced it down to 0.96 kg/cm²=13.65PSI but they slapped stuff on it again that defeated the point on later variants.
I would assume a Kv1 has a similar ground pressure if not more then a Tiger 1.
Britain for perspective never went above 0.92 kg/cm²=13.1 PSI though lighter & stripped down variants for the north African campaign had a 11PSI which is low pressure for a heavy tank.
The Churchill also had the highest incline climb of any tank in ww2 so the British popped up on high vantage points the German thought no one could or would occupy in the deserts of north Africa but slow British infantry tanks did creeping into position most would ignore.
British tank had a lengthened front compared to other to house 11 bogies to distribute the tracks which & increase ground area of contact for a reason as it wasn't aesthetics but practicality.
Hull clearance, ground pressure & climb is something many ignore about tanks & vehicles in general but is a lot more important then most militaries give mind.
The average human foot exerts 16 PSI & a tank needs to be that if not less for what happens when you or I stand in mud?
I look at KV1 & I guess 15 to 16PSI by eye.
No wonder mines were a concern as paths of travel are limited.
I'd argue the Churchill was the best heavy tank of ww2 as it had 6 inches of frontal armour at 152 mm with a lower ground pressure & no transmission issues.
It was a snail but who cares as what infantry men are going to run faster then 15 Mph?
Bigger does not equal better & their a point of gun size which it is just a impractical show piece on vehicle for loaders are only flesh & blood.
when you go above 3 inches for a mounted gun you add a lot of weight for little return hence both Britain & the yank with eventually the soviet union settled on 3 inches be it imperial or 76.2mm.
Even putting shells into a vehicle & transporting them is massive pain in the aris.
Only time a 90mm or similar size might be acceptable is a shorter HE round for ant infantry purposes.
Mind auto loaders change matters but still not perfected.
I don’t know why but now I wanna see one of the m18 hellcat or centurion
Warthunder and Comprehensive definitely don't belong in the same sentence, unless Comprehensive is prefixed by a non.
Can you make Char-2C Super Heavy Tank cross section next with the 105mm variant, or even the Lorraine variant? Or B1-bis?
Now we need an interior of the Char series, Liberty tank, Independent tank, and the T-35.
Do kv2 next
KV-1 is my second favorite tank in WW2 (Favorite one is Churchill mk.7)❤
Can you guys do a cross section of the B-52?
@Simplehistory Hey, you know what thats the best War Thunder AD for a YT creator because every other person just reads what Gaijin gives them and they always say there is over 70 million players. Well, that right there is a flat-out lie because there's no more than 250k on at max in the peak time in the year of 2024. So anyway props given for your AD for WT It is actually WAY better than anything I have seen this year from anyone besides the actual company itself Gaijin.
Is there a video of yours on the JS2? I don’t know a ton about that one.
Could you do any battleship cross section
Last time I was this early, the USSR still existed
Hull armour on the kv1 is not 110/90mm
That would be thicker then a tiger
you looked so cool and funny in that military uniform ngl
that sounds so gay
KV1 A good example of the Soviet Armor!
Please Do a WW2 Bomber Planes Next I Think It Would Be Cool 🤞
I'm now wondering if you'll make a kv2 (Stalin's fridge) video
KV2 next pls! ^_^
hi like your content
I think it is more likely that the „monster of raseiniai“ was a KV-2, but we will never know for sure
Please get a story about Christman. The forgotten serial killer in history!
the kv-1s was a attempt to rectify the reliability problems of the kv-1
Now we must see cross section of t-35. Guess it would be hour long to cover all crew positions.
The KV-1s is probably one of the most misrepresented real tanks of wotb, since most play with the larger turret and 122mm gun which only a couple were made in that spec(I think)... most KV-1S had the 76mm and maybe some the 85. Sadly, the video did not tell us what the "S" stood for in the lightweight variant... it's basically Russian for Speedy. Scorotznivoy(sorry I butchered the spelling).
Still, the KV-1, and KV-1C were terrifying tanks when introduced, the latter with it's cast turret being resistant to attack from the air(from what I've read), but like dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, they went extinct and were superseded by the Cretaceous period dinosaurs....which also went extinct.
"Skorostnoy" from "skorost" (speed).
@@Tanaicus thanks for the spelling correction, I knew it was something along those lines 👍🏻
That War Thunder read will not age well.
From the thumbnail of the video it looks so chaotic inside a tank
Didn’t the KV-1 get sent in to the winter war as a experimental tank along side 2 other experimentals
I am from the town Raseiniai (9:22). We have a memorial for the tank crew and many people who are interested in war still talk about that event to this day
and historians still can't decide to this day, but it was actually KV2
Can you making life inside kv2
Can you do kv2 next pls
WE MAKE BEST THINGS
When will we have tiger 2 cross section?
kv-1 is a nice tank
The kv-1 is fav tank
I was about to play war thunder (have a ton of hours into it) and I had started it and then I get the partnered ad.. god damn it!
Good Russian film called Tankers with KV1. Think it's on UA-cam
KV-1B is one of the few tanks out of Russia I will see and go " Well, for awhile they were onto something. Good work. "
My grandfather fought in a T-34. He's dead now.
