45:20 fun fact the 106mm Recoiless, isn't actually a 106, it's a 105, it was called that due to logistics so that the ammunition wouldn't be confused with the 105mm main tank gun.

The deal with the gun on the comet is that it's a 3 inch gun (so a 76.2mm) but the 17 pounder's ammo was already designated as 76mm so to avoid confusion they just called it a 77mm
One thing about side scraping... The manual for Tiger 1 crews actually contained a chapter about it, so you might not worry about it in combat as if it was your priority, but the german commanders were literally thought to do it.

Tip for the Sturmtigor: use the range set feature and preset the gun to 50-100m. After 100m the drop off is still large, but consistent and setting the sights like this makes it a lot easier to aim.

I recall i saw a video mentioning a german tanker's manual from WW2 that did mention that they were safer from enemies at a slight angle, in a tiger, specifically. Not to the degree of suggesting it on purpose, but it was mentioned to be a factor.
I know the one you mean and it's absolutely correct. It's just not something you'd consciously be trying to do. The main consideration is facing the strongest armour towards the enemy first. Everything else is more or less secondary.
@@PanzerPaw I doubt they focused on it back in the day, regardless, but it is worth noting that the modern tanks you're familiar with have side armor that is comparatively much less effective. Angling their armor would actually make you more vulnerable.

The alecto is stupid fun. I also suggest the brumbar if you haven't ever tried it. It's got great frontal armor and can lob shells over cover and has a decently quick reload.
30:28 I am not 100% sure and i cant be bothered to look up but i somewhat remember that poor gun depression on soviet tanks was partly due to tanks design ( low profile hull and/or turret ) and partly due to soviet tank doctrine. Where as gun elevation came from the fact that soviet doctrine used tanks alot for indirect fire, basically as a artillery.
You're right that the result is a mix of both things but doctrine very often is the driving influence of the design of tanks. So, that's what I was getting at. Hopefully I made it clear enough in the video tho!
A load of tanks have the caliber of the Comet, 76.2mm, for example all 17 pounders and the M10, however, gaijin being gaijin rounded 76.2mm up to 77mm for just the comet
Sturmtiger (German for 'Assault Tiger') was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380mm rocket-propelled mortar. The official German designation was Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. The few vehicles produced fought in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Reichswald. The fighting vehicle was known by various informal names, among which the Sturmtiger became the most popular. Development The idea for a heavy infantry support vehicle capable of demolishing heavily defended buildings or fortified areas with a single shot came out of the experiences of the heavy urban fighting in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942. At the time, the Wehrmacht had only the Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B available for destroying buildings, a Sturmgeschütz III variant armed with a 15 cm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun. Twelve of them were lost in the fighting at Stalingrad. Its successor, the Sturmpanzer IV, also known by Allies as Brummbär, was in production from early 1943. This was essentially an improved version of the earlier design, mounting the same gun on the Panzer IV chassis with greatly improved armour protection. While greatly improved compared to the earlier models, by this time infantry anti-tank weapons were improving dramatically, and the Wehrmacht still saw a need for a similar, but more heavily armoured and armed vehicle. Therefore, a decision was made to create a new vehicle based on the Tiger tank and arm it with a 210 mm howitzer. However, this weapon turned out not to be available at the time and was therefore replaced by a 380 mm rocket launcher, which was adapted from a Kriegsmarine depth charge launcher. In September 1943 plans were made for Krupp to fabricate new Tiger I armoured hulls for the Sturmtiger. The Tiger I hulls were to be sent to Henschel for chassis assembly and then to Alkett where the superstructures would be mounted. The first prototype was ready and presented to Adolf Hitler in October 1943. Delivery of the first hulls would occur in December 1943, with the first three Sturmtiger completed by Alkett by 20 February 1944. Due to delays, Hitler did not request production of the weapon until 19 April 1944; twelve superstructures and weapons would be prepared and mounted on rebuilt Tiger I chassis. The first three production series Sturmtiger were completed by Alkett in August 1944. Plans to complete an additional seven from 15 to 21 September 1944 were presented to Hitler in a conference on 18-20 August 1944. Ten Sturmtiger were produced in September, along with an additional five in December 1944. Hitler had laid great importance on the special employment of the Sturmtiger and believed it would be necessary to produce at least 300 rounds of ammunition per month. Design The Sturmtiger was based on the late model Tiger I, keeping its hull and suspension. The front of the Tiger's superstructure was removed to make room for the new fixed casemate-style fighting compartment housing the rocket launcher. This was located directly at the front of the vehicle, giving it a boxy appearance. Compared to the Tiger tank, the Sturmtiger was much shorter overall, only 6.28 m (20 ft 7 in) compared to the Tiger's 8.45 m (27 ft 9 in), due largely to the fact that it did not have the long main gun of the latter which protruded far in front of the hull. It also was slightly lower than the Tiger at 2.85 m (9 ft 4 in) compared to 3 m (9 ft 10 in). Armour Since the Sturmtiger was intended for use in urban areas in close range street fighting, it needed to be heavily armoured to survive. Its sloped (at 47° from vertical) frontal armor therefore was 150 mm (5.9 in) thick, while its superstructure side and rear plates were 82 mm (3.2 in) thick. The hull front was 100 millimetres (3.9 in) or 150 millimetres (5.9 in) if it had an additional armor plate fitted. This pushed the weight of the vehicle up from the 57 t (56 long tons; 63 short tons) of the Tiger I to 68 t (67 long tons; 75 short tons). Armament The main armament was the 380 mm Raketen-Werfer 61 L/5.4, a breech-loading barrel, which fired a short-range, rocket-propelled projectile roughly 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) long. There were a variety of round types with a weight of up to 376 kg (829 lb), and a maximum range of up to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), which either contained a high explosive charge of 125 kg (276 lb) or a shaped charge for use against fortifications, which could penetrate up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) of reinforced concrete. The stated range of the former was 5,650 m (6,180 yd). A normal charge first accelerated the projectile to 45 m/s (150 ft/s), the 40 kg (88 lb) rocket charge then boosted this to about 250 m/s (820 ft/s). The design of the rocket system caused some problems. The hot rocket exhaust could not be vented into the fighting compartment nor could the barrel withstand the pressure if the gasses were not vented. Therefore, a ring of ventilation shafts was put around the barrel which channeled the exhaust and gave the weapon something of a pepperbox appearance. Due to the bulkiness of the ammunition, only fourteen rounds could be carried internally, of which one was already loaded, with another in the loading tray. The rest were carried in two storage racks. To help with the loading of ammunition into the vehicle, a loading crane was fitted at the rear of the superstructure next to the loading hatch. Even then, the entire five-man crew had to help with the loading. It was intended that each Sturmtiger would be accompanied by an ammunition carrier built on the same Tiger I chassis, but only one carrier was completed. Located at the rear of the loading hatch was a Nahverteidigungswaffe launcher which was used for close defence against infantry in addition to a frontal mounted 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun.
On the 30m you could’ve used the German Turm 3 it has a 30m attached to it but you probably won’t pen anything at it’s br of 8.3.Ok I’m editing this but now that I think about it you may not have it it’s premium
The 76.2mm is listed on all 17pdr armed tanks, the 77mm is a modified 17pdr and it gets APDS which is just superior to APHE. Also kinda actually waitfor the biggest gun in the game, the 183mm not the 380mm rocket launcher
The mortar looking thing on the south african armored car is a 60mm flare launcher, based on a 60mm mortar with a lee enfield trigger group bolted to the back.
24:40 About the reason why the 77mm OQF MK.II gun being called 77mm despite being actually 76.2mm, it's simply because it is actually a cutdown 17 pounder gun. The original gun had too much of an heavy recoil and was too big to fit in the turret of the Comet so they cut it down and named it this way to avoid confusion with 17 pounder ammo because the 77mm used shorter cartridges. It was for the sake of avoiding mistakenly supply the wrong ammunition to the wrong unit. 26:43 The BM-8-24 Katyusha is on a T-60 chassis which makes it significantly more mobile. 41:58 The gun on the M-51 Super Sherman is actually a cutdown French 105mm modèle F1 equiped with a muzzle break. The original gun was the main weapon of the French AMX-30 MBT. They had to cut it down and add a muzzle break to fit it in the Sherman's turret because the original one had a two heavy recoil. So, the M-51 is not completely israeli. Oh, and you forgot the 28mm s.Pz.B.41 on the Sd.Kfz.221armored car. It's a pretty fun large antitank rifle to use. It was also a squeezebore design, so it's pretty unconventional too. It's pretty good for its BR and the vehicle is wobbly and hilarious to drive at high speed. I've even killed a plane with it when I was a noob. I was so overjoyed at the time!

hey!!! i just thought i’d mention that the PUMA IFV has an MG4 chambered in 5.56. i believe it’s actually the smallest round in the game!
he mentioned that in the video but he said he doesn’t have it
Why was that aussie accent actually good
The Aussie accent😂😂❤
50:10 ok to be honest you actually using your aussie accent is pretty funny
I have the KV-2 Zis-6, and it is marvelous. Lots of HE filler, and it can easily pen panthers and tigers, not to mention a leisurely 20 sec reload.
The longer videos are appreciated. A short video is like potato chips. Tasty, but unfulfilling.

That was a really great Video. I don't really mind longer videos
Awesome, thank you!
On the 30m you could’ve used the German Turm 3 it has a 30m attached to it but you probably won’t pen anything at it’s br of 8.3.Ok I’m editing this but now that I think about it you may not have it it’s premium

No 128mm? Was looking foward to seeing some Jagtiger or Maus games.
12:27 if you complain about THIS sun, have you ever plaved ARK?
ARK is pretty bad too. But this just sucks because I can't see anything coming towards me at all.
@@PanzerPaw in ARK you think that the sun is just a flashbang that blocks your vision and temporarily blinds you
The 76.2mm is listed on all 17pdr armed tanks, the 77mm is a modified 17pdr and it gets APDS which is just superior to APHE.
Also kinda actually waitfor the biggest gun in the game, the 183mm not the 380mm rocket launcher

30:13 yes, yes it was the real panzerpaw
49:58 You indeed hit the waifu pillow! ...The American one!
Swedish tech-tree crying in the corner.
50:18 Waifu pillows deflecting 120mm rounds like deodorant at an anime expo.

The Lancia 3ro is just a road trip with the boys
Casually slanders the French tech tree
The mortar looking thing on the south african armored car is a 60mm flare launcher, based on a 60mm mortar with a lee enfield trigger group bolted to the back.
he forgot so many calibers, its not worth going over all of them.
edit: i counted 9
Angling the armor of like the Tiger was indeed used in the second world war
your average Germany Mains player deploying "Weapons of Minor Inconvenience" everytime S O M E T H I N G moves
I find it hilarious that there are more things that can be killed with .50 cals at 7.0 and above than at 1.0 always made me laugh
Love the long form video, because your pacing is on point! Thanks for the great watch
Thank you! I'm particularly proud of that part. Also gotta thank my editors for keeping the tempo up in their cuts.

11.02 banking hotel baggery, keep the long vids coming I prefer them, also great content 👍
The Australian accent switch is amazing 😂
13:28 you do indeed have a hull under your turret.
24:40 About the reason why the 77mm OQF MK.II gun being called 77mm despite being actually 76.2mm, it's simply because it is actually a cutdown 17 pounder gun. The original gun had too much of an heavy recoil and was too big to fit in the turret of the Comet so they cut it down and named it this way to avoid confusion with 17 pounder ammo because the 77mm used shorter cartridges. It was for the sake of avoiding mistakenly supply the wrong ammunition to the wrong unit.
26:43 The BM-8-24 Katyusha is on a T-60 chassis which makes it significantly more mobile.
41:58 The gun on the M-51 Super Sherman is actually a cutdown French 105mm modèle F1 equiped with a muzzle break. The original gun was the main weapon of the French AMX-30 MBT. They had to cut it down and add a muzzle break to fit it in the Sherman's turret because the original one had a two heavy recoil. So, the M-51 is not completely israeli.
Oh, and you forgot the 28mm s.Pz.B.41 on the Sd.Kfz.221armored car. It's a pretty fun large antitank rifle to use. It was also a squeezebore design, so it's pretty unconventional too. It's pretty good for its BR and the vehicle is wobbly and hilarious to drive at high speed. I've even killed a plane with it when I was a noob. I was so overjoyed at the time!
Ah yes a good movie for tonight
God I love the Auzzie pretending to be Auzzie bit. Made me smile. And I personally don't mind the longer videos.
Sad there was no Centurion Mk.5 AVRE, or FV4005..
3:27 The battle log…
BRO THE L3S GOT THE KILL

"Why don't mortars exist in this game." Panzer IV 75mm mortar am I a joke to you.
4:35 u know it's bad when u say u can't pen a Swedish low Tier tank
Banken hotel gergory or some thing
I like the long video's, i ususaly watch them while playing warthunder so not having to get a new video every 15 minuts is nice
Love the long vids! Sad we didn’t get Jagdtiger gameplay with the BR decompression, but that’s aight
