The war machines of WWII are unique and so diverse. The smaller transports and the halftracks are something that should have survived the war as a design. Tiger, Tiger in the forest coming alive, absolutely amazing experience. As far as the WWII tanks holding their own in the 1960's is a questionable issue, they could have needed major refitting and changes to march the more moder armor battles of the Cold War. But it could have been possible for even the King Tiger to be good in some support role.
Imagine your an infantry unit, you separated from your corp to carry out this mission, but you run into this behemoth. I might need a new pair of underwear
This beast can be seen in the "Musée des blindés" (armored vehicles museum), in Saumur, centre western France. A place to visit. Nice country side, beautiful castles, and... very good wines 🍷😉
@Imperial Overseer German tanks' mechanical issues are mostly a myth born from clueless wannabe historians who took things out of context and came to the wrong conclusions. Although some early models of vehicles were indeed unreliable, for the most part German tanks were a lot tougher and reliable compared to the Allied counterparts. The reason so many German tanks were lost to mechanical issues is because these vehicles were used almost constantly the moment they arrived to the front. They rarely had the privilege to get some maintenance, they were working non-stop until they broke down. It wasn't a case of unreliable tanks, it was a case of work overload and almost non-existent maintenance. The allies on the other hand had no such issues, and if a vehicle broke down they could easily afford to abandon it. German tank divisions on the other hand had to plan entire operations to salvage lost vehicles, they were that important to them.
@@johnhighway9397 Also the reason why German tanks have the myth of having a bad transmission comes from the early models, such as the Panther D that was rushed to Kursk
@@3155DOGMAN 18 years to grow a human crew member though. The tigers were actually capable of protecting their crews. The same cannot be said for the t-34s or the shermans.
And that's where we get into the complicated intesection of systems that express in actual performance and cost benefit terms. Honestly, 40s tank technology was basically at a dead end until some breakthrough happened. HEAT could get through any armor regardless of thickness, the technology for advanced fire control didn't exist yet, and nobody had engines that could move them much faster. Everything past 20 tons was increasingly just a matter of diminishing returns, and past 35 tons, the gains were no longer worth the effort.
Imagine youself inside a "tiny" sherman, and see this Beast appear in front of you. It would be the Last thing you ever seen. Just shows, even for 21st century MBT standards, how this machine was Supreme on the battlefield,85 years ago. No allied tank had a chance against it. Awesome machine. The King has arrive and alive.
With the track technology of today's people. I wonder why some outdoor sports vehicle manufacturers hasn't remade the motorcycle half track again. I bet they would sell well and people would buy them up very fast. Because these things are totally awesome machines.
If I were in a tank, stalled in battle, and I see that King turret turing toward my tank, I would shit my pants and get the fuck out of my tinfoil tank asap !
@@scorchclasstitan6727 It doesnt mean nothing. The Königstiger cannot even move and was hella slow. The panther had a lot of modern things and an armor that can bounce quite much
@@scorchclasstitan6727 he can compare, the OP said 'best tank' not best 'heavy tank'. Besides best WW2 tanks were either Shermans or T-34s due to superior logistics and numbers, that's all that matters in the military.
Yes nice machines , but your troops marched everywhere, along with the millions of horses pulling your artillery and supporting equipment and supplies.
Nro: 233 Schwere / Heavy panzerabtailung 503 bat. Was She at Budapest ? Or New after war number. True matches WW2. Picture. Henchel turret like here . (No Porche) At video in End the Green paint Porche made turret. Krupp 100% Sd.Kfz 182❤
Damian Rivoli well if they want they can reach 42 km/h (on a street ) Even the sherman was then slower with 38 km/h :P But the fuel consumption is a horror wich gives the tiger only an range of 190 km
the 88mm of the tiger 2 is different from the 88mm of the tiger 1. The tiger 2 had a much larger cannon (in term of legnth) that can ounch through thicker armor
Imagine that Konig Tiger had more time to fix its issues before being sent to battle. The few that did work as they where designed to do simply a beast. The thought of coming face to face id need a new change of underwear 😂
Utube of post ww2 Sherman and panther Sherman was really bad off road cross country compared to panther which seemed unstoppable they surly were a much.better performer than Sherman and been a very hard enemy.to.defeat
its because the American M4 sherman tank was single treaded which reduce performance of off road cross country crossing where the German Panther was dual or double treaded which gave it good performance of off road crossing.
Germans victory would be in their hands If they have heavy air superiority like they had in lands. Excellent engineering. When it comes to ground but in air except stuka and a few like fw190 made the way. Germans should develop a 4 engined bomber like b17 or b29
Pratyush Kishore Yes a Sherman easy 8 could..during the battle of the bulge an M8 greyhound with its 37mm gun took out a konigstiger from behind. Check out Mark Felton productions..he has a documentary about it.
Pratyush Kishore You bring up some good points but that M8 took those shots at very close range & Mark Felton is a noted historian & not just a you tube guy. Could’ve been a fluke weak spot in the armor of the Konigstiger as well that caused it to be taken out.
Ricardo VS True..but Mark Felton knows his history & I would bet he researched it thoroughly before putting together his documentary..go check out his channel, he does outstanding work.
@@curtiswong7280 not really the 30mm of roof armour stopped most rounds so you would have to be a bomber and most bombs would be useless unless dropped directly ontop of it
It's great that they are making that King Tiger (the only operation one that I know of) so accessible to the public.
Rooster1Cogburn yes indeed it was super cool to see it the ground was litterly shaking when it started driving
Glad there's another king tiger under restoration by Swiss museum
I think there's 2 in the world that still function.

@@JV-bj4kx the problem with german ww2 tanks is the frontal gearbox, if they would put that in the back those tank coulda be way much better

Imagine a squadron of these crashing through the lines,, absolutely terrifying
yep :O
hitlers wet dream
It is amazing these vehicles are still with us fair play 🏴👍😄
splendide !! une machine de génie !!

Alrigh that's magnificent and scary at the same time, can't imagine what the solier feel when the saw this bad boi on the field
One question? How many Shermans are needed to feed this beast a day?
My favourite tank of all time the king tiger

I doubt it.Just outflank it and wait while it breaks down or runs out of fuel.
Wow that's awesome! :( too bad I can't go
Lego time maybe next year?

Projectile hole?
It is an escape hatch, also use to load ammunition into the turret

I'm jealous
Darth soldier bruce crompton was there to
wait rly i know he was there before but not that he was here this year oooooh that is awesome i watch his show in tv every sunday xD
