The Bob Semple Tank being the first one means it is truly 1st place among Tanks.
0 losses in combat for The Mighty Bob Semple Tank, so feared by the Japanese that they never dared to invade NZ!
@@mtpender69 Geneva Convention exists because it fears what Bob Semple Tanks can do.
New Zealand only made 3 of them because they fear that they may accidentally take over the entire world because of their sheer power, had they made a fourth one.
Bro I read this right as he said "The Bob Semple Tank"
The bob sempel wax from New Zealand
To think tanks were such a scary sight in WW1. A metal fortress that seemed invincible. But now we’ve got a vast dedicated arsenal that renders a number of them as scrap metal for cover of troops.
Tanks are way harder to destroy now compared to in 1916, Even proportionately to infantry weapons technology

@@kippert8912ATGMs seem to pack a punch through them
@@neofulcrum5013 a stick grenade could destroy a Mark 4 tank, a modern hand grenade against an Abrams wouldn't even scratch the paint
As long as you ain't Russian you should be fairly safe.
Bob Semple Tank, the most powerful tank in the entire universe
But with no powerful benis 😢
The Bob Semple was more of an early infantry fighting vehicle
No, it was the best tank in the war. New Zealand just didn’t want to cause to much damage
@@nathandei1674 On a serious note, the Semple vehicle was the best that New Zealand could get in the time frame, budget, and industrial base available at the time.
Sure, it was not a great tank, but it was better than doing nothing and just wishing for better.
@@nathandei1674 godam bob semple stan
@@nathandei1674 the bob semple would be destroyed if it were to go aganist a japanese tank. Also how would machine guns work on an angled armor of the japanese tanks? 🤓☝
@@martinalipao8257 🤓🤓🤓
the tank in ww1 was terrifying, no one up to that point had seen a metal machine like that, however most either broke down, or were torn to shreds by armor piercing maching gun rounds, not to mention a well thrown grenade could blow up the British tanks if they landed where the exhaust pipes are plus the Germans repurposed a 75mm artillery gun and used it as an anti tank weapon not to mention anti tank rifles and anti tank grenades, some were also unlucky enough to have a artillery round land on top of them but they were effective enough after the first use of them where the British government ordered 2000 of them and in 1917 3 British tanks and 3 German av-7 tanks met on the battlefield thus the first tank battle was fought
*a7v not av7
Nice little insight. Thanks!"
Why hasn’t anyone built a scale wooden version of the ratta this would be amazing to see it actually made
You could probably do that 🤔
RIP the forest that was sacrificed for it
there's a couple of wooden model built of Ratte in WW2 and there's many version of it. Although the size was only like 1/32 or 1/16 but it still interesting to see!
Ya that would be cool be able to go check it out
@kop1522 most things are made from dead trees, which do not produce oxygen-the air we breathe- if more dead trees than living trees, it may be time to make them useful. Some dead trees don't even get used
0:06 The bob semple Tank (worst tank in history)
8:21 the history’s largest super tank MAUS.

22:37 American M1 Abrams Main battle tank.
26:49 Tiger mark 1 number 131 last working tiger tank.
35:15 Tsar tank.
Dude. You can't blame the New Zealanders for trying.
But then, that's just us talking in hindsight.
May not be the best tank but the granddad of all tanks
Bro the bob semple shot at japan 2 times and they gave up
@@JehielLyreLMalan best tank
@@danieln6700 imagine if Russia started churning them out one for every Russian soldier.
13:09 /still/ faster than the Bob Semple Tank oof 😂😂😂
I LOVE TANKS!!!!!!!!!
I went to the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA where they have a lot of tanks including the M1A1 Abrams, Panzer Mk 5 Panther, IS-2 Stalin, M4 Shermans, Jackson tank destroyer, SU-100, T-72, and many more.
@tommyinnit8062 Tommyinnit stan
Great to know. I love tanks too :)
@@T-34-85_EnjoyerIS-2(german)
Can you make a video comparing the size of the Maus and/or Ratte with the Crawler transporter that NASA uses? There are some interesting similarities.
the simple tank may have been a failure as a tank but as something thrown together using what you had it was good enough. I think it would have done well at holding off a beach landing but after that it would have struggled. Basically it was a mobile pill box.
Yea its just an example of some random locally made thing with very limited resources or funds etc that might help during an actual invasion. Kinda like how ppl mount guns onto normal trucks etc or use civilian drones.
I think they should have added an anti-tank rifle to the turret which would give it at least some AT firepower
3:30 I'm somewhat of a dozer/tractor enthusiast, and I have never seen - in picture or in person - a Cat D8 of any model with a raised front wheel. Tracks on tractors are all about getting the maximum amount of track in contact with the ground. Either they had a D8 variant in New Zealand that I have never heard of, or they somehow modified the tracks by lifting the front wheel. Anybody with more information, please enlighten me.

Fastest Churchills ever depicted.
As a New Zealander seeing that Bob semple tank was cool to see. It wasn't a real tank more like something that could be made easy from a tractor if Japan invaded. More of an improvised desperation type thing. It's the kinda weird thing that a country at war by a bigger foe would make from common stuff as its better the nothing
I have to salute your country. Amazing how they put together civilian transports and turned them into makeshift war machines. Better than doing nothing. Mad respect from India
It's funny how this vid was posted less than a minute ago and it already has dozens of likes before anyone can finish watching the whole thing
Most people probably watched the individual videos.
Or are just fans
Ppl do that all the time for channels. I'm sure plenty of ppl excited for this so like before finishing it
I mean i automatically like the video because even tho i didn't finish the video yet, but i know it will be a banger
You shouldve had the HA-GO tank turn around and blow up the semple tank after crossing the finish lol i wouldve lost it 😅
I'm named after General Creighton Abrahms. Don't know what made my parents pick it but I like it.
When a tank makes a Japanese tank look good you know you have a gem.

The Tsar Tank was more of a bicycle to me.
Hi!
Ratte would be a scary mothership to see if it was actually used
It would be scary for a couple of minutes, until the entire artillery and anti tank corps started to launch barrages and the planes started coming.
@@darnit1944 It has multiple flaks on top and it would not come alone. But you are right, it would be an easy target and it probably would get destroyed easy
@@Rickkert2000 Well, all of those flaks could only hold for long. The US has more planes to replace, while the Ratte is definitely one time use only.
Or, make it a mobile fortress and never go to the frontlines. But then it will probably way cheaper to build a bunker instead.
@@darnit1944 yea no reason to make it mobile indeed. A big defended bunker would be more practicle
@@Rickkert2000 As a wise man once said "the best protection is to not getting hit in the first place"
Tej: Ah, guys we need to come up with a new plan… they got a tank!
Roman: I’m sorry did you say they got a tank? What’s plan B?
Tej: Plan B? We need a plan C, D, E we need more alphabets!
Highly recommended to see Tiger 131, it's a very impressive machine!
You gotta admit the Nazis were impressive engineers
Funny how they call the biggest tank ever "Ratte" and a tank like the Tiger "Tiger"
Because Germans have a since of humor
0:05 everyone else-what a good song😊

And had scallops and bollocks for tea.

Please make a video about the Battle of Westerplatte. The Battle of Westerplatte was the first battle of the German invasion of Poland, marking the start of World War II in Europe.
So the Char C2 was left out?
Tank you Sir. 🇬🇧
Bob Semple is best tank hands down.
That simple tank story was good..technically you can improvise weapons from civilian stuff like fishing boats and biplane.
The "RATTE" is probably what fueled the ideas for the "Mammoth" tank in C&C games.
Bovington will soon have another great attraction of a tank, their FV4005 "SPUD" is currently undergoing restoration, which will see it get the original Centurion Mk3 hull, and will be made to be as accurate as possible to its 1950's condition. There were 3 FV4005's ever built (1 FV4005 Stage 1, 2 FV4005 Stage 2's) but only 1 was ever reassembled using a Centurion Mk12 hull, and sat as a gate guard, a static vehicle since 2008, but come Tank Fest later this year, it will be ready to be shown off, where it will look as it did when it was first built, and most importantly, it will be operational, driving under its own power for the first time on 70 years.
funny thing is all ww2 German tanks and accessories suppliers are still in business: porsche, bmw, man, daimler mercedes benz
I'm not sure if anyone here has played "Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge".
I wonder if the Allied Battle Fortress from that same game was developed -- in concept -- from the Bob Semple Tank.
If you look at the model of the Battle Fortress: particularly the position of its gun ports, they seem strikingly similar to that of the gun positions on the Bob Semple Tank.
But this is a completely superficial observation on my part: no research, just a mere spectacle of curiosity; I'm just curious if anyone notices the similarity, like I do.
Battle Fortress do resemble Bob Semple tank. Not to mention, when they were not garrisoned they only have machine gun that were similar with Soviet warminer.
@@ardantop132na6 Soviet Warminer? I know what unit you speak of, but I am confused why that bit of trivia would come-to-light here.
Although not related to this video -- or my comment -- I suspect you were watching GreenElf on UA-cam, and his video "Battlefortress vs War Mine - Gunfight - Red Alert 2"
That would explain why you brought up the topic of the Soviet Warminer when I mentioned the Allied Battle Fortress, even though the trivia you mentioned about the Soviet Warminer's machine gun doesn't seem -- in my opinion -- to merit any value here.
...
Unless, you are saying that such a vehicle like the Soviet Warminer from Red Alert 2 actually existed in some concept of history?
(UA-cam anti-crop countermeasure)
@@GDOutOfContextGD The only reason I brought up Soviet Warminer was because of their attack sound. Which can be interpret that those were general-purpose MG.
Also, forgot to say but I think Battle Fortress concept doesn't fit with Bob Semple tank which ideally infantry support vehicle but from early-version IFV Bradley ideally for transporting infantry to the frontline while be able to defend the transport midway.
While I did watch GreenElf with RA2 units firefight, that one specifically I haven't. Also, still have the game around and playing the modded version.
In real life, there's no Soviet Warminer equivalent of 'armed mining vehicle' but you could argue that there are things like utility vehicles like trucks & transport helicopters have MG as self-defense/infantry support.
@@ardantop132na6 Oh I see! Thank you for the clarification.
I wonder if we can attach naval guns to tanks
For the Bob simple it should have only had one machine gun and one anti tank gun because the Japanese armor was really thin
the multiple machine guns were pretty much needed due to the Japanese mostly using infantry at the time
A solider with a shoulder launched rocket or a drone can knock out a tank. Trade off is the solider/drone isn't armored, and the tank is.
32:31 awwww !!! The animations are really really cute!! 🤗
are u onto weed?
'depleting sandwich uranium armour'!
The DH-86 bomber actually looks cool tho
The rat is something out of a comic book
Keep up the great work
I'm not sure I'd call the Bob Semple tank a monster.
Nice use of the Armed Forces Medley with the Semple Tank.
What would win in a fight, the Bob Semple or Marvin Heemeyer's Killdozer?
Oh, yes. The Tog, cant be penetated by tier 3 and an exp box for tank 4. They do have a lot of HP, even tho they cant reallt penetrate heavy tank of the same tier.
I have Maus in world of tanks. It’s a cumbersome one with engineplaced in the front. It is having a high risk of catching fire and being immobilised.
Indeed Tanks form the backbone of ground forces and the spearhead of mechanised warfare and they are here to stay.
W vids
Tiger 131 was the tank used in FURY
Have a great day everyone
Finnaly all of it together
All of us apocalypse brothers can see value in the simple tank. We can all make it.
i just relized that I could use the naval guns as a slide
What would a land cruiser designed today look like, I wonder. No reason to ever build one but... It'd be kinda cool to see the modern thought process to that. Lighten things up where necessary with autoloaders and modern armor, run it on nuclear or something, throw in one of those naval rail guns...
The p1000 rate looks like it has two maus turrets
Low how the animated detail in the Tiger 131 has it's dent in the turret
Bob semple deserve respect and love
Well, we know where Westwood got the idea for the GDI/Soviet Mammoth Tanks from, haha.
Can you imagine a group of ratte tanks😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thank you for putting New Zealand in your video
Suddenly LA Beast music appeared
The New Zealand tank the music is anchors away
Did he just stick lodes of videos together
Yeah basically
Bob semple
Bobby COMPLEXITY
Loving it. Keep it up.
13:34 VK 100.01 could wade 8m with the snorkel ?!?! 😳! Holy sh!
The bob semple could of been used for infantry support all they would have to do is add 6 Lewis guns and another engine for speed
the semple tank, is a good tank for what it was design for, a tank to defend New Zealand, and to be build in short time, even the type-99 is even worse since if that comes against any tank thats build for tank combat, its useless
ok but the last functional ww2 tanks trigger me so much, if they have one functional tank (blueprint or not) they could just reverse engineer it, it shouldnt really cost that much for 1 tank
the new us tank is the abramsX thats all i know about it as its still under development.
The Tsar Tank was a bizarre tank.
I'd still drive a bob semple through city hall.
Bob sample the best tank ever
looking back at the time when a guy told me soviet tanks are better than lepards... he told me i shouldnt get into tanks smh
Tankies, am I right

The moment the Japanese knew about the Bob Semple, they knew the war was lost.
"Thank God the Bob Semple was on our side or else the morale of our forces would have plummeted as hard as the Japanese upon witnessing such monsterious strength"
*~Franklin Delano Roosevelt probably*
What a godly tank which turned the tide of war. Salute to Bob Semple.
But srsly tho, salute to him for trying his best.
Shout out out to early 1940s New Zealand for doing their best
Bob Semple tank is definitely the scariest tank in the world
The bob semple tank is the best tank ever
"Monsters of the battlefield" and chooses the Bob Semple whilst leaving out the British "Tortoise" assault tank !!!
Artillery says hi.
Atgm says hi.
Rpg says hi
Anti-tank mine says hi.
The Russians really looked at a tricycle and tough: Yes this would make a great tank
How can these be "monsters of the battlefield" like the title promises if like 3/4s of them never even made it to the battlefield...?
if they were real
The mauss was impressive, but I think the airforce would have crushed it easily. Or badly damaged it. A seating duck for any good pilot
I give credit to the New Zealand earth for the simple tank. Just having a mobile strong point is damn smart. I’m just saying.
26:40 but they’re not quiet are they? Or is that the Challenger I’m thinking of? The turbine engines aren’t so quiet.
only true gamers know what game added maus
Wot
They need the better transmission 💀
simple history you forgot the kv 6 a three headed tank made in russia in world war 2
Someone should build a replica Maus
How do you even have enough for the body of that
Tank beats everything.
