    The original video was hit with 'Limited adds', so this is a re-upload, but I made it better with new scenes and 4K upscaled footage.
    But why Limited adds.? I think it's because UA-cam has placed this channel on alert and is deliberately hitting these videos before it's even done uploading yet.
    What does Limited adds mean? It means that it will not get the views it would normally get and the video will fall out off UA-cam's algorithm.
    Most of the time it will get adds back after review, sadly that's not working anymore. So i'm getting demonetized without breaking the UA-cam guidelines.
    As a result, my channel has been slowly dying, and I really have no motivation to make any new videos.
    Also, most of the extra information in the comments, I always implemented is gone, just to not piss off the broken YT Bots even more.

      @@combtkid Vastly superior to almost anyone that happened to be on their sights. The Allies wondered what made the Germans so fast at acquiting targets or to successfully hit on fast second shots, by interrogating captive German crewmen they found out that it was common practice to keep the sight graduated to 600 meters as it was known to be the distance more shots were taken at, then aim higher or lower depending on the rangefinder reading, so no further adjustment was needed except for very long range shots, pretty much what we do when rifle shooting with a particular caliber and bullet weight. Experienced panzer commanders and crews could be quite deadly.

    One of the roles my grandpa had in world war II was motorcycle dispatch-carrier. He had raced motor cycles back home in USA and could fix them too.
    Supposedly, he told my dad that one time he crashed his bike because rain and roads were terrible. Damaged his tail pipe/exhaust tube. So he found a 88mm spent canister and built a giant muffler for his bike. He told my dad that whenever he road through places lots of people dove for cover or ran away. He didnt understand why...until in battle of the bulge he came under german 88 gun fire....his bike sounded like an incoming 88 round! 😅
    He also said you could hear the german tanks coming and differentiate them from American tanks because of super loud "squeaking." German ball bearing factories had been bombed.

    • @kingnorlen
      @kingnorlen Місяць тому

      Unfortunately it sounds very unrealistic that a motorcycle could sound like an incoming 88mm round, basically it had to be superquiet and go 800m/s++?! xDDD The second part about the enginesounds of the tanks is smth u can always differentiate with experience, all of them has unique sounds. The squeakyness does NOT come from the ballbearings tho, its the rollers/tensioners for the tracks. And since most german tanks never used rubber pads on their tracks, it was alot of steel. If u'd have a ballbearing (in most cases rollerbearings/needlebearings) squeaking like that, with all that weightload onto it, it would be seized within minutes.

    Stumbled on this channel thanks to YT's recommendation (judging by the comments here, a very unusual thing!) and am glad to have found it! Good quality vids and nice sounds (though I'm not sure if any are post-war dubs). The sounds of the shots filmed from inside the tanks do closely match contemporary accounts' description of what the 88 sounded like - high pitched bark. One thing's for certain - 1:20 those troops would have had a real unpleasant time sitting where they were! Being anywhere near the muzzle end of a sizable calibre weapon when it fires is LOUD. Especially with the KwK36's muzzle brake venting the blast sideways - that is, in their general direction 😖
    Meanwhile, keep up the great work!

      If these PC types didn't get their panties in a wad so easily and want to disable all the guns, we might have a Tiger left with an operable tube that could be fired and recorded for historical purposes. Although some company would probably charge $50,000 per round to make up some 88 shells 🤣

Es gab keinen Nachschub mehr und die Soldaten waren auf sich gestellt. Den härtesten Kampf im 2. Weltkrieg hatten nur die Russen und die Deutschen.

    Seeing and hearing this, just on TV, was very impressive. Just firing it, and being inside the Tiger and fairly close around it outside, in real life, appears would be a pretty tough job. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it, to say the least. If I were, and alive, I would be doing some sincere praying, along with taking whatever cover presents itself. I'm sure there was more powder in the shell casing than average, from the sound of it firing. It sounded heavier than I would expect 88mm to sound. The 88 originating as an anti-aircraft cannon, I guess would need a relatively large amount of propellant for high muzzle velocity and range.

    I love the Tiger 🐅 Tank though I do sometimes wonder 🤔 how many Allied Tank crews were knocked out by one of these beasties firing from such a distance that they had absolutely no idea that it was even there!
    Heard a story about one knocking out (destroying would have been a much better description!) a T-34 which it hit so hard that it's turret flew up into the air and it's engine flew out of the rear of the vehicle as it literally blew apart at the seams!
    A Soviet T-60 light Tank (20mm cannon armament!) bagged 2 Tigers by drawing them towards some 76.2 mm guns which promptly knocked them out! Both crewmen of the T-60 got medals for that.
    We've all heard the legend of Michael Wittmann's Tiger 🐅 at Villers-Bocage which is just insane 😳.

    • @TheSaturnV
      @TheSaturnV 5 місяців тому

      The T34 exploding was not likely only due to the German round, but rather the result of catastrophic on-board ammo going off. These internal explosions were tremendously powerful.
      Wittmann could have accomplished that feat using a Sherman or Cromwell. He caught that group completely by surprise and it was his boldness and excellent tactics that caused such a lopsided outcome. In fact, at those point blank ranges the 75mm Sherman gun firing HE might have been even more devastating. Faster rate of fire too!

    UK had the 3.7 inch AA Gun (92mm) their equivalent of 88mm, British Army used it as an AntiTank in Exercises in 1936 but the AA Regiments decided and were allowed they were exclusively AA and not used as Artillery or Anti Tank , this puzzled Rommel and Africa Korps as tye 88mm was essntial to their defensive successes, Von Luck one of Rommels Officers wrote only time he knew of when 3.7 inch was usdd against panzers was when Tobruk was captured, when Panzers drove down into the Port the AA Guns depressed their barrels and fired on ghem, they did not have Armour Piercing (they had in 1936) but their AA Shells did serious damage to the Panzers without destroying them; Von Luck was in command of only Panzer Regiment in Normandy on D Day , well worth reading his book especially his time as prisoner of Russians , very, very interesting . Another example of British Failure, British Tanks at beginning of WW2 were as good if not better than German but as the guns required got bigger the Brit Tanks were restricted in width to enable them to be transported by Rail, most obviously seen in Churchill Tank wh8ch if wider could have had a wider Turret Ring and mount a bigger gun (3,7 inch?) , it could have been s British Tiger , Germans had same problem but they removed tracks and outer wheels to transport Tigers and Panthers nd replaced them when they reached their destination
