The Matilda II tank was one of the few tanks that saw action from the beginning of WW2 to its end.
The Stuart is also a early war tank that saw action from the start. ;).
Stuart was 41, not really in service 39-45 though...
Panzer III and IV are classics that come to mind.
But Souma, and CharB1 bis with the French, German and Free French(including Soumas in Tunisia) and then French army. (Recaptured Soumas and Char B 1 Bis Used in the siege of La Rochelle, and in sieges elsewhere till the end of the war) are unexpected ones that come to mind.
As an Australian, I really appreciated this footage. Thanks 👍🇦🇺 I have a Matilda in my model collection.
Close to the ideal tank for jungle fighting; small but heavily armoured it could drive through dense foliage. The only drawback is the track width, which could not be altered owing to the side skirts. It did not need to be any faster, because it would have been difficult for infantry to keep up in that type of terrain. Even the lack of a HE round is not an issue, as an AP shell would not be set off by jungle vegetation. The Japanese had no infantry gun that was effective against it, so it's main problem was mines or a lucky heavy artillery shell. No wonder it served till war end in the Pacific theatre.
Such a good looking tank.
That's great footage; I've never seen any of it, before. Hard to believe that the 2-pdr was actually a viable anti-tank round in the early phase of the War.
Really hope you do a video for my favorite World War 2 tank the single turret Polish 7tp.
0:52-0:58 is an M24 light tank
Yeah, would be in new Guinea undergoing jungle trials. The chaffee was found unsuitable, as the automatic gearbox was not suited to slow work. It kept wanting to change up a gear and would have worn excessively.
Next to the M24 is a Matilda to be pulled out.
One of the best British tank designs of WW2. Tank design was not a high point of the British WW2 effort. Best British tanks in order of their overall combat power versus the enemy at the time of their main service: Comet, Sherman FIrefly, Matilda, Churchill, Valentine, Cromwell, Crusader
I would argue the Churchill was much more effective than the Matilda, which pains me to admit lol.
🙏🙂🤟✌️💪👍👌👏😎🇹🇭
Bogged. 😂
There at 10:12 do they take out a Japanese anti aircraft tank ?
