Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

Still a beautiful machine. I never asked anyone, do tank enthusiast take these out on a range and use the weaponry?

There are a few videos on forgotten weapons when they do that. The one that sticks in my mind is the 37mm on the Dodge carrier.

Neat videos. At least the gunner of the PAK 40 wasn't sighting down the barrel when he pushed the trigger  :o

Thanks, fsn. My favorite is the great lumbering and deathly pale T34 which reminds me of "War of the Worlds" (not sure why).

I don't think so.

I stand corrected.

Though that's what the original description said.

This one is a little long at 19 minutes, but I found one part extremely dynamic. Those of us who have never seen tank combat in person can only imagine what tank vs. tank combat must be like. In this video at about 11 minutes or so it shows a combat between an American M-26 and a German Panther. It is both amazing and very, very sobering to see how quickly the German tank is consumed in flames, and it appears only one crewman got out.  For me, I have a new appreciation now for tank combat.

May not be for everyone, so I add a caution.

Here's a little longer version of the Koln episode. It starts with a Sherman being hit.

As Terry37 says not for the faint hearted.

Hullo,
If you are into ultra-modern, this Finnish armed forces official video about the new doctrine might be of interest. Made like a war movie, not a boring lecture. Even has subtitles if you activate them on youtube.

Cheers,
