@@alqaeda7040 ahh yes I distinctly remember the short barrel 25 mm Sherman oh yes definitely 25 mm, not 75 mm or anything and it’s tiger killing 26mm long barrel counterpart
There is one small detail missing from this: During the initial flight from the Sherman's wreckage, Gorman's assistant driver, one James Baron, jumped into a trench, thinking his crew was there. Instead, it was actually the Tiger's crew, who glared at him, so James saluted them and ran off to join his own crew. Edit: I've been informed that it was not Gorman who did this cheeky feat, but his assistant driver, James Baron, God rest his soul.
1:17 Tiger II actually used a modified version of 8.8cm PaK 43 L/71 anti tank gun while Tiger I’s 8.8cm gun was a derivative of 8.8cm Flak 36 gun.There was a huge performance difference between them by about 44-52% depending on the range.

I've heard that the Tiger I's cannon was actually the most lethal against infantry, with the Panther's 75mm and the Tiger II's upgraded gun being so powerful with the shells travelling so fast that it actually made them less effective against soldiers. I wonder how true that is
Gorman: "See that King Tiger?" Gunner: "Yes, sir" Gorman: "I don't want to" Gunner: "But sir our guns are ineffec-" Gorman: "I was talking to the driver"
In easter front it was a normal tactic. Rams are quite know eventually of pokharovka there is even monument that is showing how T34 are ramming a tiger as like 700 soviet tanks attacked 300 germans tanks head on in pokharovka and soviets lost like 200 and germans 50. ( Considered soviet vicotory as operation citadela failed and it was the decacive vicotory of WW2 in europe as gemans were dead lost after that)
The funny thing is that just before the encounter the sherman commander told his crew that “the best way to stand a chance against German heavy tanks is to use naval tactics”.
5:50 I love the fact that they accurately exhibited the AP projectile, as well as the animation of the shell piercing the hull with the interior looking sharp and well designed making it a whole different view as to how far yarnhub has progressed in making videos both educational, and with badass animation.
Well, he knew his main gun won't even budge the King Tiger's armour, but the sheer force and mass of his tank could... It's like kamikaze but for tanks lol
Ramming is a bad idea because of all the moving parts of a tank it would destroy or damage, but it could be argued that the tank on the receiving end is guaranteed to have a bad time.
@@peterni2234 I'd think the same. If it were any different, that Sherman commander would be reprimanded or possibly court marshalled for bad use of military equipment. However, since he out of his way to salvage the situation and do a equivalent exchange, he was given a pass.

I was a bit suspicious about how true this story was, but there's actually pictures of his Sherman and the Tiger 2! what really surprised me is that it wasn't any normal Tiger 2, it was one with the original turret before it was redesigned Edit: basically the Tiger 2 had the Krupp Early turret, also known as the porche turret, this is rare as most of the turrets were salvaged instead of being used as they were replaced by the Krupp Production turret, also known as the Henschel turret
@@petermuller3995 I mean, there are tons of WW2 stories that sound fake that turn out to be true. (Like the sniper with over 500 kills, or the Fighter pilot with over 300 kills... And it's not as if the tankers killed like 20 tanks in a single day.
It’s amazing how much this channel has evolved, I’m not saying that the original batch of videos were bad, but you would have is 2 in American bases, and others while now I thought he was showing gameplay of world of tanks on max settings. EXCELLENT WORK!!
Damn, those shell animations at 3:30, 5:50 and 7:05 are IMPRESSIVE!! It really makes me wonder what software you use. It almost looks like a game engine!
Tiger II: Oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away you're approaching me? Sherman: I can't ram you without getting closer. Tiger II: HOHOO, come close as you like.
Hi, this clip has a lot of details... The bullet going inside the tank, the slow motion, the camera vibrating when the tank fires, the surroundings. Is in my opinion one of the best videos of this channel. Your team and the ones that support you are the best! thank you for your effort, Merry Christmas :)
The animation quality! Not a year ago we were watching people moving in ways that looked a little uncanny and juddery, but now we have in-depth camera angles on shells as they burst through, or do not, armored plates. Top notch!
I've watched this a thousand times now it's amazing. Little piece of advice about British lend lease Sherman tanks: they used mainly m4a2 Sherman's but the one in the video was a m4a1.
Was this not the same instance, where when one of the crew members of the Sherman that rammed the Tiger 2, scrambled out of the tank, and saw a crew running into a ditch so he followed. Upon noticing he had just run over to the crew of the Tiger 2, he gave a brief salute, and ran away to find his crew.
If your wondering why the tiger crew retreated their turret was probably locked in place by the impact, and its sprocket may have been damaged so the tiger was practically useless. Plus it's armor may have been dislodged making it easier for a tank like the firefly to penetrate the new weak points
Remember it was hit by an HE round at point blank too, even if there was no penetration the pressure probably broke some hydraulics and small moving parts needed to turn the turret
@@bens4801 not to mention even if it was operational the tank could not move making it a sitting duck to long range fire from artillery even if there was none you'd prob not take the chance
You'd also need to consider the sound reverberating throughout the hull. Tankers can go deaf from the sound of a direct impact on the hull, if not then they be heavily disoriented. On top of regular technical faults, its probable the crew thought something was gonna blow and booked it. The disorientation could also probably be why they didn't kill that one Sherman tanker that got lost.
When the Tiger I was fielded, their crews were handpicked from batches of experienced tankers. But when the Tiger II _entered chat_ they also tried to put experienced tankers... but were less easier to find, at least still alive. So young crews were indeed assigned to the latest German technology, Otto Carius lost a Jagdtiger in his platoon to an extremely inexperienced commander, for example. Thus, if many times the simple ricochets were beyond the nervewracking treshold of the crew, imagine a relatively inexperienced group of young men hit by a 30+ ton "round" 😂
Damn you guys really fired off the videos this month! This one has got to be the best so far if I were to rank them. The animation was flawless, and woo boy the scenes with the shells hitting the tanks and penetrating are better than the show "greatest tank battles" !

@@winchesterchua3311 nope. The Jagdtiger was. The Maus never saw combat, so under a technicality, the Jagdtiger was by far the heaviest tank of the war. C H O N K
Colloquially, this tank was used [Königstiger, which in German in the zoological context refers to the "Bengal Tiger". However, the literal original of this name was commonly adopted as the "Royal Tiger" (English: Royal Tiger, King Tiger, Russian: Korolewskij Tigr) [4].

When king tiger 🐅 renamed by Sherman German tank vs Enemy Wow Amazing Animation 👌 Semma Super story narration 👌 Semma Super Hatsoff To Yarn Hub Team to show history of tiger tanker
but as a war thunder player i dont i would of shot either the panther or panzer cuz that type of sherman cant pen the side of the tiger 1 why would it pen the king tiger but if it was a sherman (76) W it would be a whole different story and yes im a nerd
Absolutely amused for this new video! Although it would be nice to have more Östfront stories rather than 'MURICA's and BRI'ISH. Good job beforehand Yarhub!!
Everyone on comments appreciating the yarnhub job rather than appreciating the king tiger/panther/tiger drivers for keeping the transmission working without breaking it
Can't wait for Sabaton to make a song about this! Y'all's videos keep getting better every time! I think I've learned more war history from this channel alone than all of my history textbooks combined!
Gorman made a tactic blunder in not taking out the German tanks that were operational. Had he done so, he could had return to destroying the damaged Sherman at leisure.
imagine sitting there chilling in your tiger 2 like baller wiping out platoons of Sherman's with the squad and this wise guy brit decides to go full speed navy on your perfect day. then when you scurry out of your now ruined beautiful vessel of mass destruction and hide in a ditch. the same tommy comes up and salutes you and runs off. talk about insult after injury also: great video yarnhub. your skills have improved greatly since the last time I've seen your videos. great content as always👌👍
Just one thing I noticed. The turret is wrong. From the accounts I remember, the tank used the Turret with rounded cheeks. rather then the one displayed which has flat cheeks. Otherwise wonderful.
Early models used the rounded Krupp turret (it is an error to call it a Porsche turret). It was replaced with another Krupp model turret (less rounded) erroneously called the Henschel turret.
The first moment, I started thinking, "Why the hell am I watching War Thunder?" Turns out 10 minutes of this is better than an hour of playing War Thunder.
Imagine being the commander of the Tiger Ausf II (King Tiger) thinking you’re indestructible before looking to your side witnessing a Sherman fire before hitting you spraining many of your bones before fleeing in absolute shock
I always thought that real tank battle strategy is for the smart people and I consider it to be completely out of my league. The US and allied armored devisions had excellent training. Very good story telling here.
The Irish guards is a regiment not a division. They are part of the Guards division as I recall. Irish, Scots, Welsh, Grenadier, Blues and Royals and Household cavalry make it up. Cheers for the vid. Proper job.
It is true that tigers had a lot of mechanical problems and were often abandoned or easily destroyed because they broke down. But in battle these problems didn't make a difference for the allies, both tigers were a nightmare even if you were in a tank that could out maneuver it. Now imagine seeing a tiger II and a Tiger I at the same spot, it's something you'd only hope to see in a dream.
Military History Visualised does a good touch on this topic as well I'd say. Ther German tanks were effective when handled with care. It was just that the effectiveness was too good such that the enemy never bothered for a fair fight. Hence, why these heavy tanks often broke down before they ever saw combat. Simply put, they were forced to pursue the enemy when they were clearly designed for head-on engagements. It sounds the same when from a practical standpoint its far too different.
This was true for many tanks, not just tigers. T-34 for instance broke down more often than the tiger did. Ofc, you never hear about it since its meta to criticize the big cats.
@@WorkersofAmericaRise It helps having the factories nearby though they lost 90% of all the 60000 they produced. Its a bad tank that got its legendary status because it was there and because the soviet union wanted to export it post war. The sherman wiped the floor with it in the korea war. It was in all respect a terrible design.
Imagine the shock the crew of the King Tiger must of been in, they never thought their tank would be disabled by a Sherman and what makes it worse is they can’t move or shoot anything now
The tiger 2 tank’s gun was designed around the 88 PaK 43 which the tank’s gun bare the name KwK 43 or tank gun 43 , it’s basically a modified pak 43 small enough so it can be fit inside a tank , the tiger 1 on the other hand has a redesigned Flak 88 that were redesignated as KwK 36

Tiger II : *second heaviest tank on the european theater
Sherman commader : imma ram it
I'm guessing the Maus is the heaviest.
@@winchesterchua3311 nope. The Jagdtiger was. The Maus never saw combat, so under a technicality, the Jagdtiger was by far the heaviest tank of the war.
C H O N K
Damn, look ath those animations
I remember when this channel was 2D and it already was good
Colloquially, this tank was used [Königstiger, which in German in the zoological context refers to the "Bengal Tiger". However, the literal original of this name was commonly adopted as the "Royal Tiger" (English: Royal Tiger, King Tiger, Russian: Korolewskij Tigr) [4].
Wow-
Lol wikipedia
@@Cbrmkn98xs you can tell because of that little 4 there
@@liemduongthanh8386 yep
I love how the loader is straight up assembling a main gun round in the animation, lol
To Mr. Gorman and all of his crew and the other tank cruise thank you for your service to your country and hours also helpkeeping that Der shleekmister from taking over the world this is Jim mungai from Kennerdell PA
The British forces: *Hey remember the Japanese kamikazes striking the navy? Well we will do it but this time with tanks*
Also this is an amazing video, praise the animation, also congrats, I heard the voice acting
Edit 1: I changed American to British to the fact that the 5th Armored Brigade is from the British forces
Edit 2: Wow...it has not even been an hour and I got 20 likes, thanks
Edit 3: 50 likes..a new record, thanks, and wow
Edit 4: stopped at 54 likes, neat, Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone!
But the 5th Guards Armoured Brigade here in the video is from the British Army...
Oops...I’ll edit it
The fact I put in the Japanese kamikaze’s is the British participation in the Asian WW2 Front

When king tiger 🐅 renamed by Sherman German tank vs Enemy Wow Amazing Animation 👌 Semma Super story narration 👌 Semma Super Hatsoff To Yarn Hub Team to show history of tiger tanker
As a World of Tanks/Blitz player, I passionately approve of this.
don't forget a war thunder player would do the same
@@serjoshvlogs9899 I feel like this would be more at home with the wargaming games since they use the HP system.
Aha i just got the tiger 2 in wotb yesterday
@@serjoshvlogs9899 we do that to our teammates
but as a war thunder player i dont i would of shot either the panther or panzer cuz that type of sherman cant pen the side of the tiger 1 why would it pen the king tiger but if it was a sherman (76) W it would be a whole different story and yes im a nerd
Wow the visuals are just soo amazing, it adds effect to the story!
This is now my favorite video, thankyou for delivering u this Christmas present yarnhub 🙂
Absolutely amused for this new video! Although it would be nice to have more Östfront stories rather than 'MURICA's and BRI'ISH. Good job beforehand Yarhub!!
bri'ish????????? *spongebob music starts playing*
Bri'ish
*BRI’ISH*
😐
Gee, why do some people hate on covering the western front just because it's the most covered? Every front has its cool moments
Those shots following the shells are top notch
Everyone on comments appreciating the yarnhub job rather than appreciating the king tiger/panther/tiger drivers for keeping the transmission working without breaking it
Please make more WW2 Tank stories, you make them amazing!
Can't believe history is more fun in the internet than teacher teaching
Your content are absolutely the best in this platform!.
Thanks for hearting me!.
Can't wait for Sabaton to make a song about this! Y'all's videos keep getting better every time! I think I've learned more war history from this channel alone than all of my history textbooks combined!
Sabaton tends to not make songs about shitty lies that are disproven by photos of the aftermath of the incident.
“Hans?” “Ja Herman?” “EVASIVE MANOEUVRES” “THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HERMAN WE HAVE NO TRANSMISSION”
This is some sweet animation!
Gorman made a tactic blunder in not taking out the German tanks that were operational. Had he done so, he could had return to destroying the damaged Sherman at leisure.
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Why risk revealing your position shooting already disabled tanks? Like major fumble lol
The driver was too brave that he didnt even say anything after commander said ram it,just straight up ram onto it without hesitation
Proper Guards moment
Loving the new voice acting, keep it up
"Sherman rams a king tiger"
War thunder and World of Tanks players:
*Ooh I've seen this before it's a classic*
Wot us this is something I had just done 5 min ago
Awesome video! The animation and narration keep on getting better.
imagine sitting there chilling in your tiger 2 like baller wiping out platoons of Sherman's with the squad and this wise guy brit decides to go full speed navy on your perfect day. then when you scurry out of your now ruined beautiful vessel of mass destruction and hide in a ditch. the same tommy comes up and salutes you and runs off. talk about insult after injury
also: great video yarnhub. your skills have improved greatly since the last time I've seen your videos. great content as always👌👍
Loved the video however just a quick note, the königstiger used a kwk 43 cannon as it’s main armament. Keep up the great work dude!
Just one thing I noticed. The turret is wrong. From the accounts I remember, the tank used the Turret with rounded cheeks. rather then the one displayed which has flat cheeks. Otherwise wonderful.
Early models used the rounded Krupp turret (it is an error to call it a Porsche turret). It was replaced with another Krupp model turret (less rounded) erroneously called the Henschel turret.
@@doogleticker5183 Yes, I’m aware. It’s just what I’ve known it as for so long.
@@amichiganboiwhosereallazy1544 - I have a tight sphincter. Too lazy to type "who is really"? OK, I'll shut my gob. 😜
Porsche didn’t make the turrets Kruppt did
The first moment, I started thinking, "Why the hell am I watching War Thunder?"
Turns out 10 minutes of this is better than an hour of playing War Thunder.
10 minutes is better than not playing war thunder (war thunder is negative fun, playing it results in lower fun).
That firefly commander has big balls
Imagine being the commander of the Tiger Ausf II (King Tiger) thinking you’re indestructible before looking to your side witnessing a Sherman fire before hitting you spraining many of your bones before fleeing in absolute shock
When a kingtiger eliminated 9 Sherman tanks before they called there names
love your videos! keep up the improvement!
LOVE YOU'RE VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
It is remarkable how far the graphics and animation have come on this channel. Good job!
This video randomly came into my recommended 1 week ago, now I am watching all the videos of this channel
I always thought that real tank battle strategy is for the smart people and I consider it to be completely out of my league. The US and allied armored devisions had excellent training. Very good story telling here.
This guy’s videos and the quality of his content does not get enough appreciation.
You need to do full length biographical movies in your style. You are leagues above some movie studios.
Omg those animations can't possibly get any better
The Irish guards is a regiment not a division. They are part of the Guards division as I recall. Irish, Scots, Welsh, Grenadier, Blues and Royals and Household cavalry make it up. Cheers for the vid. Proper job.
It is true that tigers had a lot of mechanical problems and were often abandoned or easily destroyed because they broke down.
But in battle these problems didn't make a difference for the allies, both tigers were a nightmare even if you were in a tank that could out maneuver it. Now imagine seeing a tiger II and a Tiger I at the same spot, it's something you'd only hope to see in a dream.
Or a nightmare
Military History Visualised does a good touch on this topic as well I'd say. Ther German tanks were effective when handled with care. It was just that the effectiveness was too good such that the enemy never bothered for a fair fight. Hence, why these heavy tanks often broke down before they ever saw combat. Simply put, they were forced to pursue the enemy when they were clearly designed for head-on engagements. It sounds the same when from a practical standpoint its far too different.
This was true for many tanks, not just tigers. T-34 for instance broke down more often than the tiger did. Ofc, you never hear about it since its meta to criticize the big cats.
@@benjammin3381 however the t-34 wasn't as complicated and could be repaired as easily
@@WorkersofAmericaRise It helps having the factories nearby though they lost 90% of all the 60000 they produced. Its a bad tank that got its legendary status because it was there and because the soviet union wanted to export it post war. The sherman wiped the floor with it in the korea war. It was in all respect a terrible design.
Imagine the shock the crew of the King Tiger must of been in, they never thought their tank would be disabled by a Sherman and what makes it worse is they can’t move or shoot anything now
1:06 Not only King Tiger but it is Panzer Family
One of the best recreations I’ve ever seen, love your work!
The tiger 2 tank’s gun was designed around the 88 PaK 43 which the tank’s gun bare the name KwK 43 or tank gun 43 , it’s basically a modified pak 43 small enough so it can be fit inside a tank , the tiger 1 on the other hand has a redesigned Flak 88 that were redesignated as KwK 36
