Mark IV - 100 years of tanks in battlefield
British World War I Mark IV tank replica - vehicles like these went into battle almost exactly 100 years ago and became the king of battlefield.
Hey! See my tank channel: / tankspotting
Tanks went into battle for the very first time on 15 September 1916 on the Somme. They later came to be known as Mark I tanks although their crews invariably referred to them as Cars or Buses. They were the only type available and came in two versions, male and female. You could tell them apart by the fact that the male tanks carried a long six-pounder gun in each sponson, while the females had different shaped sponsons, each armed with a pair of Vickers water-cooled, heavy machine guns of .303 inch calibre.
Inside each tank was the same, except for ammunition stowage which was arranged to suit each version. Power was provided by a six-cylinder, 105hp petrol engine by the Daimler Motor Company Ltd of Coventry (British Daimler) which drove into a two-speed gearbox and then through a Daimler differential to auxiliary gears in the track frames. These provided two extra speeds and were also used for steering. Each tank towed two wheels behind it on a short frame which were used for steering but were easily damaged.
Each tank had a crew of eight; a driver and commander sitting side by side at the front, four men to act as gun crew, two each side; either a gunner and loader for a six-pounder or machine-gunners in female tanks and two men detailed as secondary gearsmen, stationed nearer the back.
The Mark IV tank was introduced in 1917. It weighed about 28 tons and had the same engine and driving arrangements inside as the Mark I, although the wheeled tail was no longer fitted. The Mark IV however had thicker armour and although there were again male and female versions (with Lewis machine-guns instead of Vickers), new designs of sponson (and shorter six-pounder guns) were fitted and were made to fold inside the tank to narrow it down for rail travel. On the Mark I you had to unbolt the sponsons and lift them off for train journeys, the sponsons travelling separately.

Modern british tank: “oh look there goes grandpa.”
1917 MK IV: “hello there grandson.”
Good one
Nice one
100 years man, " grand grand " you want to say .
Just to think 100 years ago that moving box was the pinnacle of fear
Looking like an old tired warrior who became weak due to time. A old glorious warrior
This one is a fake though. Replica made a few years ago
@@parkerwebb6235Did the real ones move faster?
@@RashFeuer26 hell nah it definetely did NOT move faster
Imagine putting a more powerful and faster engine to that bad boy.
I wanna see a Mk.IV driving at 60mph.
I want to see It making donuts and powersliding in the mud.
no, it wouldn't be good considering the people who wear tanks are collectors
Just play BF1
Ok now that's called blizcreeking
I don't think you want to be on one as it has no suspension
"Edward!!! release the pigeon, thats an order son"
Battlefield 1 first mission...

When you find out Germany is beefing up its military:
*We're doing a sequel.*
*another sequel*
Here we see a young tank and his grandpa enjoying their time together.
The crew inside must have been very sick after tank fest the tanks emitted toxic fumes and the crew by windows were lucky
That mk1 is a replica built on a excavator chassis.
They were wearing gas masks
Lets hope they didnt pass wind while inside that thing other life would be over before it began.
@@admiralicywolffeyt1465 yep, this wouldve been built to minimise/eradicate any cabin smoke or fumes, it could potentially get a bit warm inside but probably nothing like the original 16 litre Daimler-Foster.
Past mark IV:YOU DID WELL KID
MODERN TNK:THANKS GRANDPA
Respect to them they are very loud when running on the inside and very hard to operate
Muffin Man hard to operate? This is one of the earliest tanks built and you would think its hard to operate? Tanks were like tractors but with heavy steel back in WW1, so i wouldn’t say its hard to control..
Muffin Man its just like controlling a tractor
Prinsipe Motions it took 4 people to steer
@Tyler Storck watch the video where they go in this tank and show what every thing is and show that these tanks where miserable to exist in
@@princey_06absolutely nothing like a tractor. My great grandfather was severed as one of FOUR drivers in the British MK IV’s. It took 2 people to change the gears and 2 to drive them. Even for old tracked vehicles like tractors back in the day, it never took 4 people to drive.
Also remember that, there was NO shielding between the engine and its crew. The entire time, the body heat and sweat mixed with the heat from the constant running of the engines made things hot and humid. On top of that, the exhaust system in these tanks was next to nothing. The crews were constantly been gassed by their own vehicles so much so, that, crews suffering with carbon dioxide poisoning was a big issue.
Then ON TOP of been gassed by their own weapons fumes, they were also breathing in the fumes of the 6 pounders/machine guns when they fired.
And lastly, not to mention, the splash from enemy fire. These tanks were far from easy to drive.
What a beast!
amazing to see a challenger 2 face to face with a mark IV
Шикарный аппарат, у нас такой в Харькове возле музея стоит, не думал что когда то увижу как этот монстр ездит.
i hope you and your family are safe and okay
Мегацінний експонат
I am definitely using this tank in my book to at least one major battle scene
Imagine the soldiers that were following behind it to get up to the enemy trench to overrun it.
My favorite tank...
I love how bf made these things like 4 times the speed, I eman it would suck to be going 5mph in a game so
imagine you're a German soldier during a war and you sees this,
and its 2020
DAD GET THE NEW MOTOR
but I dont have modules
Very impressed they have it running.
Side mounted guns, cannons at sides, lewis at front, its a Mk. IV!
I miss Big Bess, she was a beauty
Luar biasa...penuh dengan nilai sejarah...salam.dari Indonesia
If The Flash was a tank he would be the mark 4

Im so surprized that is quiet?
Come on!! Come on maaaan!!
what are you doing? you are gonna get us all killed!
Amir Dujak Edwards behind you!!
Slow but deadly
Hey! That's my line! - Douglas Dauntless
edwards, there you are, lad
The tank looks like it will brake apart in a second
Yeah the mark 1 were not the greatest tank but sure gave those jerrys a scare!
I mean it was litterally the first battle tank ever made so you have to give it some leeway
You cant even spell "break" correctly, get lost
Give the tank your trench or it will trench your spine
good one
Thx
how is it possible that ww1 lasted only 4 years and not 40?
Because germany gave up
Are we there yet?
круто!!
Ahh! Do you see Indy gallopping right next to its side?
Indy is horse name? Cavalry were not saved by its invention
@@Stiffd1 Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail. The tank scene.
What a sound! )))
Fast as hell........hahaha
Imagine that badboy moving with a Cummins in it
Is it real it looks smaller than the ones in the pictures
Why don t we hear the engine though?
Can I buy this
Well... Its sooo slooowww
In Battlefield is more faster xd
Is this a genuine ww1 survivor or is she a replica?
Replica
Beattlefield 1
I forget is it a heavy or medium???
it's a tank. It has its own classification as a landship.
Medium heavy-ish
Is this full scale? Doesn’t look like it.
Yup, it is 1:1, totally same size as the real one.
Is that the fastest it will travel
yep.

Я такие в детстве из лего делал
It's insane how slow it is.
L Farang Poo Chai Ting Tong Layo! I would rather be in that metal box than a poor infantry man being gunned down by MGs.
@@edikis3189 same i would rather sweat in that tank than get my face blown off by a grenade or get gunned down by mg

Scare german ww1
Ппц
Scammer i dont know what are you sayin about
Fake tank with no guns .... stupid .
What do you mean there is guns on the side of the tank, by the way don't judge this thing ,this is the first ever tank in the world
This tank didnt even scare me
If you were a ww1 German soldier..seeing this for the first time..it coming straight towards you..you'd shit yourself
You need to remember, these were a complete surprise to the German soldiers. It was in an age when most farming was done with horses, cars were a rare sight, the wright brothers had only flown 13 years earlier, the red flag rule for cars was only 20 years in the rear view mirror. Then think about seeing it through those eyes. You'd be a German soldier staring down 28 tons of armour plate clanking along firing machine guns. You'd poop you pants and run like a scolded cat.
you will shit your pants when you're a german soldier getting fucked up by MG's, and like MG's wasnt enough pain in the ass, the British launched this...
