@@Ahmed_Hasan_ Ch'ônma-ho and P'okp'ung-ho. They are heavily modernized and modified T-62s. Intelligence suggests that NKPA does field T-72s, T80Us, and various other tanks, but it's difficult to get accurate intelligence concerning NKPA equipment out there. They don't call it the "Hermit Kingdom" for nothing. Not very much is known about that new tank seen last year. The hull looks to be based on the T-14 Armata but with a manned turret. It could be an export model of the T-14, or maybe a result of the Russians sharing technology with the North Korean government. Hopefully we will be able to learn more about it before too much time passes.
In italy the M60s is still used by the Geniere regiments ( something similar to the Royal Engineers) as a bridge thrower or a recovery vehicle, but in the next 5 years they will be tepalced by a modified version of the Leopard 1s that are still in service in the italian army
Its absolutely shame soviet heavies were never modernized like these monsters. Well they were absolute beyond saving but i would love to see an IS-3 with ERA and NERA blocks making it a bulky beast.
IS-7 with ERA armor is a scary thought. The IS-7 was the best tank by leagues when it was designed. It had a very high top speed with good acceleration, easy crew handling, and armor that no weapon it would come across could dream of punching through. Unfortunately, though the vehicle was the most praised of any at the time and highly loved by nearly everyone who was involved with it, it never saw mass production due to doctrine issues. The reason they decided not to employ the vehicle was simply because a tank that can't reliably get to the battlefield is not worth the effort. I believe this was not a great choice and IS-7s should have been homeland defense.
The "Tank of extreme parameters" is an incredibly expensive, heavy tank, produced individually, but having incredible parameters of protection and firepower.The idea was proposed by engineer Shashmurin, the father of heavy Soviet tank construction. With the death of comrade Stalin, the projects were closed, and the idea was soon completely forgotten and replaced by the idea of mass MBT. If this had not happened , there would have been heavy and super-heavy tanks with dynamic, combined protection and powerful guns of at least 152mm caliber. Imagine an Object 705 with combined and dynamic protection, with a gun of object 120. And this in the 1960s.
@@Phapchamp A lot of reactive and composite armor actually works better with flat angles, unlike features such as the pike nose on the IS-3. Though there are some exceptions such as Nozh and Duplet, so I do wonder about those. Another big issue with heavy tanks is mobility. With powerful and accurate guided missiles (some of which can be guided to attack weakspots such as the top of a tank) and deadlier aircraft, having lots of armor became a bit less useful compared to things such as agility and speed in the modern battlefield (where fast and fluid movement is key). While trophy systems that intercept missiles could reduce some of the threats posed by rocket launchers, it is worth noting that advanced and deadly tank ammunition such as APFSDS is still another threat that armor on modern tanks must face, and so avoiding getting hit is often a better option than just taking them.
The Hetzer , Jagdpanzer 38(t) was a long serving jewel in a way. It 's chassis was designed in the late 1937 for the ČKD-Praga LT-H. In 1944 the Jagdpanzer 38(t) came into production and it ended its service life as Panzerjäger G13 in Switzerland in 1973. 3 decades of service isn't to bad, though it surely doesn't get anywhere near the 80 years servicelife of the Centurion.
The T-72 could be added to the list. The Russians still rely on the T-73B3 variant to compose the bulk of their armored forces. Multiple other countries still rely on export versions of the tank. The Polish army is only now looking at replacing their T-72's with M1A2 Abrams for example.
Are you sure they are wanting to replace their T72s with Abrams? It is a rather outdated tank design and the polish already have the Leopard 2PL which they built rather recently, and have officially stated they want to build 200 more 2PL varient for their tank force
If Polish army replaces T-72s with M1 Abrams it would be were bad logistically. Most east European bridges very build to hold weight of Soviet tanks and were meant to fall apart if heavier, western tanks drove over them, making NATO forces imcapable of crossing rivers by every bridge exept the big ones. Leopard Is a much better option, because Its much lighter than Abrams and it can cross those bridges without a big problem
@@shroder2748 Yes it has been confirmed that Poland has ordered 250 M1A2 Abrams tanks.

The M113 armored personnel carrier entered service with the US Armed Forces in 1960 and gave rise to a dizzying variety of variations and configurations, some of which are still in service with various military forces around the world to this day. Several variants are represented in the game, such as the M113A1 TOW, M901 ITV, and the M163 VADS.
The T-62 is also a still serving main battle tank. The North Korean Ch'ònma-ho and P'okp'ung-ho series tanks are based on the T-62 for example. The Israeli Army also fielded versions of the T-62 fitted with an American fire control system and a 105mm cannon. I like the honorable mention for the Sherman and T-34. The National Armor and Cavalry collection at Fort Benning, Georgia has a Sherman that was captured from the Iraqi Army at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. I believe the story goes that it was knocked out by a Maverick missile while the crew was trying to hide under an overpass from an F-14. They also have a M51 Super Sherman with 105mm gun that was donated by the Israeli Army.
M4 Easy 8 Sherman and M60 Patton gang. My highest kill streak ever in War Thunder realistic battles was 17 kills in the Easy 8, it was the first time running out of ammo became a problem for me, but it wasn't the last.
The M36 Chafee was in service until 2018 here in Uruguay and was retired because there were no more parts and supplies for them. Still, modified M41 Walker Bulldogs are in use here. Talk me about old
T-34's are still in very limited service for couple of places + used as reserve forces (85mm gun is still 85mm gun). Last Sherman stopped serving in 2018 in Paraguay, Stuart light tank supposedly is still active over there, though I don't think it survived past the Sherman decomission (both of these were activated again in 2014, so lasted few years until final death).
The M48 hits different, especially with the German one with the 90mm having a direct counterpart in the American tree, yet having a lower BR. They perform about the same, yet the German gets a lower BR? Makes sense. Just like how the Jagdpanther and the T20 are at the same BR because they’re obviously of equal value.
Another version of the type59, different from the ZTZ59D1 currently in game, is the Type59G which has a entirely new turret similar to the ZTZ-96A and 99’s turret and has a 125mm gun, perhaps the ultimate version of the T-54 family, would fit nicely into the Chinese tree’s top tier lineup
You didnt mention the Abrams, it was designed and entered service in 1970s and is still in service to this day, wich would make that tank around 50 years old
Pls do sth about Ammo disappears when we shoot almost at the same time with enemy, and doesn't hit the enemy. Secondly pls fix the invisible tanks, this is the worst. And last thing, pls fix volumetric armor, even in modern tanks when i shoot side of the enemy tank it doesn't pen with sabot. Please gaijin. Your game is beautiful when these things are fixed
The M36 "Jackson" has been in service in various countries for a long while too. Pakistan, Yugoslovia, Serbia and others as late as the 1990's. Evidently there are a couple of M36's still working in the Tiwanese army.
The SU85, and other WWII tanks such as a few variants of the Churchill, the CV-33, and some others did serve in the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein, and other various types of soviet tanks have been noted to been in use during the Syrian civil war.
Paraguay is still using M3 Stuarts. Uruguay still use M41 and M24. The Leopard 1 are still in service in many countries. M47s and M48s Pattons are still used in many countries. AMX-13s are still in service in Indonesia.
In South Korea Some M48A3K Still used by ROK Marine Corps. And, Some M48A5K used by ROK Army. Also Some M48A5K and M48A3K used by Reserve Forces I saw M48A5K when i service in military. M48A5K usually deployed in The eastern front(GangWon province)
technically the M3 stuart remained in service with brazil until the 1980s although we modernized them so much that you couldn't call it an M3A3 anymore
I think people need to remember. The Sherman was still in service until 2018, making it the longest service life of any tank (then again its final years were just a parade tank used by paraguay)
"made to last" The T34: The T-34 had a planned service life of about 6 months. By this I mean that the average T-34, outside of combat, was only expected to last 6 months before suffering major mechanical failures necessitating a complete overhaul.
1.Which is the fastest not guided rocket that plane can carry? 2.Which plane at what speed can fly slowest without stalling? 3.Can you shot off biplane lower or upper wings, if yes can it fly only with one pair of wings?
even as an honorable mention the kv2 is a formidable foe at even 11.0 , il be it a heavily altered playstyle at any br above it , it can be a good ambush unit and could be useful as just a roadblock in a ally or tight road to hinder the enemy
kinda miss the Leopard 1 MBT in that list. introduced in 1963 and implemented into service in 1995 Leopard 1 MBT are still in service today in a few contries, although heavily modernized. Canada uses a version called 1C2 with the "MEXAS" armor package
Canada retired all their Leo 1's a few years ago. Brazil and Turkey still have a large number of Leopard gun tanks; and other countries still use the bridgelaying/ARV variants
you have boosted the performance of the leopard 1 so much that all the chieftains, that used to be okayish MBT back in the days they were introduced, are now utterly impossible to use. gg for ruining yet another set of my favorite vehicles.
You should add a feature that when you land you can change your ordnance loadout. Lets say I was playing a F-4 Phantom and I was bombing away at tanks and now there are enemy aircraft in the skies, I could fly back to base a rearm with a Air to Air loadout instead. Maybe when you land it brings up the "respawn" interface but you can only change the loadout for your plane, or you to change the loadout it might be a certain amount of Spawn Points. Just a idea that might change how the game is played and add more diversity to the battles.
Remember, i think the sherman was the grandfather of gyroscopes becuz it was the first tank to ever have one, if you font have much mobility, you don't really need one, but if you're quick , step right up
I love the old Churchill, valentine and challenger tanks and my favourite tank is the TORTOISE tank and especially the FV4005 which i know that they made a hull-less version with an autoloader which i would LOVE to see brought into the game!
The type 74 has been in service for awhile now, even when the they made the type 90 they still used it and I’m pretty sure the type 10 was supposed to replace the type 74
I was wondering if you would be able to help i have been hoping to be able to get the lightning in game for a while as I am currently restoring one and the in game model would come in useful for reference purposes but as I am only on the mk 9 spit I’m a fair way off hoping you could help thanks
If you need to look at the model, you could click on the lighting in the tech tree, then click the “customization” tab. If you want to fly it, you unfortunately have to wait till you research the previous plane in order to test fly.
I don’t think this comment will be noticed, but can y’all add the M48A3 to the game for the American tech tree? It was a very common vehicle during the Vietnam War. Plus, it seems strange that other countries have better versions of American MBT’s than the Americans do at the same tier. Thanks
I love every t-34 in the game I think they are all great, the low br ones have reliable armor, the mid tier use there speed and punchy guns and the T-34-85s have terrifying guns
I’d love to see the Iran chieftain apart of the British line it would make up for the isreal centurion and rooikat that aren’t popular but the chieftain would be as it’s seen as a world icon
There's no use for them, since you almost always have a coax. Also with the spaghetti mess that is War Thunder do you really want an extra feature that is barely useful?
It hasn't been around quite as long as the T-64 but the T-72 has been around quite awhile and has been used by a whole lot more countries. I imagine the list of countries that haven't used it would be shorter than those that have.
With the big guns on planes can you use the A-26 American strike plane it has two 57 mm cannons and I'd like to see how you use them in the shooting range

if you have M51 Super Sherman it would be a great another additions to long service tank.
A sherman with APFSDS ammo...
The T-62 is also a still serving main battle tank. The North Korean Ch'ònma-ho and P'okp'ung-ho series tanks are based on the T-62 for example. The Israeli Army also fielded versions of the T-62 fitted with an American fire control system and a 105mm cannon. I like the honorable mention for the Sherman and T-34. The National Armor and Cavalry collection at Fort Benning, Georgia has a Sherman that was captured from the Iraqi Army at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. I believe the story goes that it was knocked out by a Maverick missile while the crew was trying to hide under an overpass from an F-14. They also have a M51 Super Sherman with 105mm gun that was donated by the Israeli Army.
M4 Easy 8 Sherman and M60 Patton gang. My highest kill streak ever in War Thunder realistic battles was 17 kills in the Easy 8, it was the first time running out of ammo became a problem for me, but it wasn't the last.
I love seeing these videos it gives more facts in game and you can use those
The M36 Chafee was in service until 2018 here in Uruguay and was retired because there were no more parts and supplies for them. Still, modified M41 Walker Bulldogs are in use here. Talk me about old
T-34's are still in very limited service for couple of places + used as reserve forces (85mm gun is still 85mm gun). Last Sherman stopped serving in 2018 in Paraguay, Stuart light tank supposedly is still active over there, though I don't think it survived past the Sherman decomission (both of these were activated again in 2014, so lasted few years until final death).
The M48 hits different, especially with the German one with the 90mm having a direct counterpart in the American tree, yet having a lower BR. They perform about the same, yet the German gets a lower BR? Makes sense. Just like how the Jagdpanther and the T20 are at the same BR because they’re obviously of equal value.
Another version of the type59, different from the ZTZ59D1 currently in game, is the Type59G which has a entirely new turret similar to the ZTZ-96A and 99’s turret and has a 125mm gun, perhaps the ultimate version of the T-54 family, would fit nicely into the Chinese tree’s top tier lineup
M47 used in CQC city battle in turkey Hendek operations in 2015. Smaller than mbts mobile enough for city roads. short barrel for aiming.
The Merkavas actually made around 1970 still lasts till today and estimated another 20 years life span!!!
i wish every documentary in the world was narrated by this epic narrator of warthunder
You didnt mention the Abrams, it was designed and entered service in 1970s and is still in service to this day, wich would make that tank around 50 years old
actually, it's from 1980, so 40 years
The centurion was produced and intended for use in 1945 not 1946 which technically makes it a WW2 tank still in service
Pls do sth about Ammo disappears when we shoot almost at the same time with enemy, and doesn't hit the enemy. Secondly pls fix the invisible tanks, this is the worst. And last thing, pls fix volumetric armor, even in modern tanks when i shoot side of the enemy tank it doesn't pen with sabot. Please gaijin. Your game is beautiful when these things are fixed
Try fixing your crew skills for the invisible tanks.
The M36 "Jackson" has been in service in various countries for a long while too. Pakistan, Yugoslovia, Serbia and others as late as the 1990's. Evidently there are a couple of M36's still working in the Tiwanese army.
I was going to say the Type 74, but that was replaced by the Type 90 pretty quickly. It's still used in demonstrations though.
the type 74 is still in active service, iirc its still japans most numerous tank even
The SU85, and other WWII tanks such as a few variants of the Churchill, the CV-33, and some others did serve in the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein, and other various types of soviet tanks have been noted to been in use during the Syrian civil war.
Paraguay is still using M3 Stuarts. Uruguay still use M41 and M24. The Leopard 1 are still in service in many countries. M47s and M48s Pattons are still used in many countries. AMX-13s are still in service in Indonesia.
In South Korea Some M48A3K
Still used by ROK Marine Corps.
And, Some M48A5K used by ROK Army. Also Some M48A5K and M48A3K used by Reserve Forces
I saw M48A5K when i service in military. M48A5K usually deployed in The eastern front(GangWon province)
technically the M3 stuart remained in service with brazil until the 1980s although we modernized them so much that you couldn't call it an M3A3 anymore
I think people need to remember.
The Sherman was still in service until 2018, making it the longest service life of any tank (then again its final years were just a parade tank used by paraguay)
As bad as the M60's can be at times they all have a very warm spot in my heart for them and I absolutely love playing them
"made to last"
The T34: The T-34 had a planned service life of about 6 months. By this I mean that the average T-34, outside of combat, was only expected to last 6 months before suffering major mechanical failures necessitating a complete overhaul.
You missed the AMX 13! Many of it's modifications/modernizations are still in use, there's thousands of them in use actually.
1.Which is the fastest not guided rocket that plane can carry?
2.Which plane at what speed can fly slowest without stalling?
3.Can you shot off biplane lower or upper wings, if yes can it fly only with one pair of wings?
My country still uses MiG - 21, some soviet helis, and has 200+ T55's in storage. During our last war, even T34 -85 was used.
The Leopard 1 was introduced i 1964 and is still in use
So is the AMX-30 (as eng vehicle in France and as a tank in Venezuela)
No mention of 1958 (mle. 1958 with 105mm anti tank) AMX-13s though
Since we're talking about positively ancient tanks on a modern battlefield, when will we get the X1A2 Brazilian Stuart, Gaijin?
Would be neat to see the Jordanian M60 Phoenix in game, hopefully as a not-too expensive premium maybe.
There are still nations that use the M24 Chaffe.
Even some upgraded ones with Apdfs.
LOVED THE VIDEO THOUGH!!!
even as an honorable mention the kv2 is a formidable foe at even 11.0 , il be it a heavily altered playstyle at any br above it , it can be a good ambush unit and could be useful as just a roadblock in a ally or tight road to hinder the enemy
kinda miss the Leopard 1 MBT in that list.
introduced in 1963 and implemented into service in 1995 Leopard 1 MBT are still in service today in a few contries, although heavily modernized.
Canada uses a version called 1C2 with the "MEXAS" armor package
Canada retired all their Leo 1's a few years ago. Brazil and Turkey still have a large number of Leopard gun tanks; and other countries still use the bridgelaying/ARV variants
you have boosted the performance of the leopard 1 so much that all the chieftains, that used to be okayish MBT back in the days they were introduced, are now utterly impossible to use. gg for ruining yet another set of my favorite vehicles.
Actually the Indonesian marines still use the PT-76 too
Jangan lupa bmp-3 juga kak
cambodia also use pt 76 too
I guess almost every nations that have swamps, rivers, and lakes still operate PT-76. It reliable for amphibious role
@@muhamadrizkyadrian9105 yes indeed, but indonesia also made their own new tank boat
I gues every nation that is close enough with the soviet back then could buy arsenals from them
South Korean M48 Pattons: _"Kill...me..."_
You should add a feature that when you land you can change your ordnance loadout. Lets say I was playing a F-4 Phantom and I was bombing away at tanks and now there are enemy aircraft in the skies, I could fly back to base a rearm with a Air to Air loadout instead. Maybe when you land it brings up the "respawn" interface but you can only change the loadout for your plane, or you to change the loadout it might be a certain amount of Spawn Points. Just a idea that might change how the game is played and add more diversity to the battles.
there is this feature
just land repair and rearm then press j and you will be returned to the respawn menu
@@yes1603 But you cant change the loadout unless you have enough SP and a backup
@@spikey316 but you dont need it in air rb
If it lasted for more than 30 years, it means it is really powerful and reliable.
Greece have the BMP1 on service and the M48 mbt. I think they could all stay in War Thunder because they are pretty good
long serving free repair costs
7:30 T-34s and SU-100 were spotted on the battlefield in Yemen not long ago
Happy to see the Sherman getting a mention, hoping one day to see the M60 Chilean Super Sherman one day.
the Paraguayan army still using Sherman firefly to this very day
>Forgot to mention that the Merkava started out as a modified, modernized Centurion that changed over time
Remember, i think the sherman was the grandfather of gyroscopes becuz it was the first tank to ever have one, if you font have much mobility, you don't really need one, but if you're quick , step right up
Suprisingly a good number of M24 Chaffee and 37mm M2 still in operational within South American countries.
AMX-13 surely the long serving tanks even for today, it still operate as reliable recon & infantry support tank
Leopard 1 : Alright Imma head out
Some m4 Sherman’s were modified into m50 Sherman’s and they were in active survace until 2018
I love the old Churchill, valentine and challenger tanks and my favourite tank is the TORTOISE tank and especially the FV4005 which i know that they made a hull-less version with an autoloader which i would LOVE to see brought into the game!
does anyone know the name of the music used at the beginning of the video? Or is that just something unique to war thunder shows?
The type 74 has been in service for awhile now, even when the they made the type 90 they still used it and I’m pretty sure the type 10 was supposed to replace the type 74
If I'm remembering correctly the sherman tank is still in use in Paraguay. They also have some me Stuart's I think.
I was wondering if you would be able to help i have been hoping to be able to get the lightning in game for a while as I am currently restoring one and the in game model would come in useful for reference purposes but as I am only on the mk 9 spit I’m a fair way off hoping you could help thanks
If you need to look at the model, you could click on the lighting in the tech tree, then click the “customization” tab. If you want to fly it, you unfortunately have to wait till you research the previous plane in order to test fly.
@@wiredjarl1556 sadly I want to fly it.
@@hkg207 I would like to fly it not just look but thanks have been using the preview tool a lot.
@@hkg207 probably the most honorable thing Gaijin has ever done lol
yank light tanks like the M5 ,M24 & the M41 are still used
Very nice Video
I don’t think this comment will be noticed, but can y’all add the M48A3 to the game for the American tech tree? It was a very common vehicle during the Vietnam War. Plus, it seems strange that other countries have better versions of American MBT’s than the Americans do at the same tier. Thanks
chieftain is a good tank for sure i like using that worth the time grinding pain and stressfull but i still hate night map while playing them lmao
the last T-34-85 retired in 2013 if i remember correctly, still a quite insane lifespan for a Vehicle of this type.
there is fighting t3485 and su85 in yemen
I love every t-34 in the game I think they are all great, the low br ones have reliable armor, the mid tier use there speed and punchy guns and the T-34-85s have terrifying guns
I had to check my playback speed on this one
1:43 Bring that map back Gaijin!!!!
UHHHH, the leopard 1 it may have been came out in 1965 but is still used massively across Europe in support roles and in its export countries.
I’d love to see the Iran chieftain apart of the British line it would make up for the isreal centurion and rooikat that aren’t popular but the chieftain would be as it’s seen as a world icon
Iran had the M60A1 with era and a new weapons system in service until 2007n
The Type 61 of the Japanese Self Defence Force is still in reserve service today, it was introduced in the early 60s
I have a question Gaijin. Why don’t the hull MGs work in almost all tanks. Except SPGs
There's no use for them, since you almost always have a coax. Also with the spaghetti mess that is War Thunder do you really want an extra feature that is barely useful?
Yes.
But what about the M6A1 with the 50s
@@WMD_JR I'm pretty sure M6 hull mgs were working years ago in the game. Unsure how it's now
Oh ok thanks haven’t played the game in a while
It hasn't been around quite as long as the T-64 but the T-72 has been around quite awhile and has been used by a whole lot more countries. I imagine the list of countries that haven't used it would be shorter than those that have.
How come scimitar cant go mach 1 despite having way better Kgf than Jaguar gr1?
because its larger and heavier. neither was it designed for supersonic speeds.
aerodynamics
@@muxite6035 not even surprised to be honest...
Argentina and Uruguay still have M4s in active service, if im not mistaken.
With the big guns on planes can you use the A-26 American strike plane it has two 57 mm cannons and I'd like to see how you use them in the shooting range
Now do longest serving planes
No love for my box brothers? M113s?!
Would love to see 25mm KBA m113s or even something like the HVMS in-game
all hail the glorius box
forget the tanks
the car on the start of the video was fire 🔥
