From what I hear we put squirrels on steroids and they grew to be massive then started making a very awesome growling sound and we sent them from the U.S. to Europe. That may be the confusion there.
Well, it needed to run on 70 octane petrol that the army supplied, while making enough power to drive a 35-ton behemoth at speed. In that amount of time there are few choices, and only aviation powerplants could do it reliably
Why is this myth everywhere? It isnt true. The engine in use is Wright R-975 Whirlwind which was not used by any allied combat or cargo aircraft of world war 2. It was only installed on trainer aircraft Like the BT-11. The reason why the U.S. went with the radial engine was because tank engines had no industrial use whatsoever prior to world war 2. And since the pre world war 2 U.S. military was extremely underfunded and had not been prepairing for war since 1933 like every one of the fashist countrys, they had not developed proper tank engines (as they lacked the funding). That being said, the R-975 was a realy good choice. It was already extensively trialed on the M2 Medium and had proven to be extremely reliable (which was important for the U.S. army as they were working against the clock trying to supply the british in north africa with usable tanks as fast as possible), it was more powerfull then the piston engine on the Pz.III and Pz.IV and since it was large the M4 Sherman needed a large engine bay which meant that there was plenty of space to intigrate other engines into the sherman later down the line (M4A2 twin diesel engine, M4A3 Ford V8 engine, M4A4 Chrysler Multibank engine, M4A6 trialed multifuel radial engine).
@@jakobc.2558 The 6046 powerplant in the M4A2 is my second-favourite to the Conti, but man the Multibank sounds unique--like a swarm of angry, metal bees.
They always have to turn those radials a few revs by hand first. Thats why you see the ground crew pushing the props around before starting. Oil leaks past the rings into the bottom cylinders if they just hit the starter it can crack the head, oil can't compress as air does.
Awesome. Love the sound of a radial engine, and to have it in a tank is always a plus in my book. I like that Sherman Configuration too, the cast hulls just look like classic Sherman.

rather more the impressively rapid mass manufacturing more than the reliability. more tanks, more parts, more spares; faster, easier fixes compared to what is was against or a side by in the war
No, sorry mate. It’s a sign that there were so much more of them produced than Tiger or Panther or Mark IV tanks. Further, the equipment of winning sides is more often found to be kept, glorified and maintained well. You agree?
Yeah, the reality is that the majority of German vehicles were destroyed in the course of the war and almost no one was trying to keep the remaining ones intact after the war until well into the 1980s, by which point there were precious few left to save. At best, a few hundred of any type survived the conflict in any usable shape, and most of those were quickly scrapped by their new owners, expended in testing, or run-to-death by poorer post-war armies. Syria, for example, basically bought nearly every Panzer IV and spare part for them left in the world in the 1940s and 1950s, only to see most of them destroyed in battle, thus ensuring precious few Panzer IVs of any kind are left to us now, let alone in operational order.
Considering there were 50 shermans built for every 1 tiger. Its not surprising there are so many shermans in decent condition and only 1 tiger in the same state.
not only cool, actualy very cold :D shermans don't have heaters, (well the transmission might warm you a bit when that is hot, but you have to drive a lot before that happens) Everything you touch is bare metal and very cold. Add to that that the engine draws air from the fighting compartiment, so trough the same hatches you stick your head trough. The result is that you have to cloth yourself very well or suffer terrible cold.
The US had no engines that produced near 500 HP except for those in obsolete bi planes when they entered the war. They designed a diesel engine most of those went to the Marines and a model powered by 5 Chrysler car engines that the British favored and used in their Firefly models. Airplane engines where common in tanks the Panther and Tiger tanks where powered by Maybach V12 a company know for making Zeppelin engines. The British Cromwell, Comet and Centurion tanks where powered by the Meteor V12 a modified version of the Merlin engine that powered the Spitfire, Lancaster, Hurricane, and Mosquito
Even with the US being isolationist until Pearl Harbor, odd how unprepared the US was for WWII. Torpedoes which didn't work, no supercharged diesel engines for armored vehicles. At least we didn't throw away our small arms, as reportedly the Brits did... where can I find out about that curious action ?
@@xzqzq actualy the ussr was the only country wich had a dedicated tank engine that lasted them trough the whole war without much issues. Tank weights (and sometimes desired speeds) increased dramaticaly during ww2 wich meant most countrys struggled to find a desent, small yet powerfull and reliable tank engine. That is why the us grabbed the next best thing available for most of there shermans, a downtunned aircraft engine. That way they had reliable and good power. The downside of this was an engine with less than optimal dimensions for a tank.

@@capitaljushman5756 if my understanding of the engineering behind this stuff is correct, high octane fuel is less susceptible to pre-detonation. As a result you can reconfigure the engine geometry to give you higher compression ratios, which means more power. If you're only going to use low-octane fuel it works, but you have to then reconfigure the geometry for a smaller max compression, otherwise it'll knock (pre-detonate) Less compression means less power but this can use the cheaper fuel safely
I kind of want the ability to start my truck like that. Battery dead? Get out the crank for the tire jack. Stick it in through an opening in the grill in front, wind up some starter, and then pull some release when you're behind the wheel.
The best way to have dead-start capability in a vehicle is to have a manual transmission and push-start it if necessary. A crank starting system would need some sort of heavy flywheel, gearing and a clutch. Way too much added weight, bulk and complexity to be practical.

Supra and r34's been real quiet since this dropped
Bad ass !
Smol tenk :)
Getting ready for the WWII DLC.
I don't know what it is about this video in particular but its just surreal to see this tank in real life (not in a movie or game, etc.)
Maybe it's the lighting? Since it would've seen weather like this...i think lol.
I also like the video of guys hand-cranking a Tiger.
I can smell the freedom from here in canada
You folks have no freedom, your communist leader decides what you can do
@@Big_John_C I mean we do have freedom but out leader is a sack of shit turning out once good country into a communist hell hole
Inderdaad prachtich geluid, bij ons in de Ardennen staan nog verschillende Sherman Tanks. Vele met inpakt van 88mm
Epic
Sounds Like Me When I Wake Up In The Morning
*Dankula Theme plays in the background...*
have american tanks always used airplane engines? the sherman uses a radial engine the M1 Abrams uses a gas turbine (essentially a modified jet engine)
Reportedly, M1s are being retrofitted with diesel engines....
No, they didn't always choose aircraft engines, even though the engine isn't made for aircraft. Also, first time reading the Turbine of the Abrams as a modified jet engine, it isn't. Or if remember correctly, they were no known person or article I've read that said this.
@@agentkaos1768 What's a gas turbine? It's basically a Turbo Prop.... so a jet engine that drives a drive shaft so pretty much the same thing.
@@sheilaolfieway1885 I mean, yeah. It is, but most just don't say it's a modified jet engine, it is a jet engine. Just made for a tank, though I have heard it is formerly meant to helicopters.
@@agentkaos1768 so it's an aircraft engine.
Me on the toilet, after I had beans for dinner the day before...
jak odpalam swojego diesla to wyglada identycznie tylko korba nie musze krecic
Its insane how Dirrrty they Burn!
The start sounds like me in the bathroom after too much taco bell💨💨💨💨💨
the enemy will never know we're coming!
To this very day M4A1 Sherman is the backbone of the Polish armed forces.
Greta Thunberg would have loved to have Been standing behind that 😂😂
HOW DARE YOU
@@zambimaru
😂😂😂
If it weren't for the Sherman (and T-34), little miss Greta would be saying _"hOw Dare YoU!!!"_ in German
Not as much as WE would enjoy having Miss Know IT All standing behind it.
The sound. Why is it not the Sherman sound in world of tank blitz.
so weird to have an aircraft engine in a tank. all i could think of while it was idling was a p47
is it me or the at the end of Squirrel there's a " inside the L?
