Rare film from the "German war files" pack Uploaded only for research and informational purposes only. legal: I do not own any right on this film, nor I will keep it ...
This back and fourth nonsense about how Tiger crews complained about their
tanks is really ridiculous. People gripe about most things. However, when
one is being shot at, it is very comforting to know that you have the
safest tank on the battle field. Further, Tiger rank crews can both admire
and dislike their machines. Obviously, Tiger tanks broke down. That is no
national secret, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the Tiger the
most feared tank of WWII, bar none. As I have stated several times now,
superior armor protection. A superior main gun and a very high
psychological fear factor were more then enough to warrant that title.
Nothing the allies put out even remotely came close and considering it was
common practice to pit three or more allied tanks against one loan Tiger,
that should say it all. I doubt Tiger tank crews complained when they were
taking out two,three,five,dozen armored allied vehicles in one engagement.
+Jack Ryan The invention of the sabot round later in the war did a lot to counter the heavy armour, especially when the sabot was fired from a 17pdr, a gun that was as good if not better than the Tiger 88 and was fitted to the Sherman Firefly. A sabot round from a 17pdr would punch right through the frontal armour of a Tiger, the problem was that there was not enough Fireflies so mostly the troops had to make do with 75 armed Shermans in spite of cries for more Fireflies. When Tigers did come up against Fireflies the heavy armour proved to be little protection as is evident by the fate of Wilhelm Wittmam's Tiger when a sabot round from a Firefly blow his turret clean off
+Jack Ryan Certainly the Tiger was vulnerable to air attack. The 2.5 & 3.5 air to ground rocket must have made a dent. Russian ground attack [anti-tank] must have made a difference also. Given good flying weather air craft must have taken some Tigers. What do you think Jack?
+Jack Ryan "nothing, could stop, deter, prevent" I would love to see how Tiger would destroy airplane or Katusha :).Tiger was designed as a tank but used as a tank destroyer (basically road blocker). Comparing Tiger with T34 or Sherman is stupid. You compare heavy tank with medium tank.Trust me that Soviets inside their heavy IS2 machines felt also very good when they were facing Panzer 4 or 5 In real world 85% of tanks were killed by means other then tanks. destroyers, grenade launchers, artillery, air force ... So the true value of the tank is not how it is can duel 1 on 1. The true value of the tank is how much fire power it can deliver at the enemy in general (cities, fortresses included). How quickly and efficiently the tanks can be relocated en mass hundreds miles away to attack new targets etc. From general war strategy Tigers sucked ...
+breadbusket Oh its a fact alright. Once the Tiger 1 entered service, nothing and I do mean nothing, could stop, deter, prevent this armored vehicle from doing what it was designed to do. Destroy everything in its path. It would take the allies a while to develope anything that was capable of stopping the Tiger 1. In fact and a point of fact, the Tiger 1's mechanical issues caused more problems versus any thing the allies could throw up against it. Once the 75mm long barreled Firefly Sherman entered service, as well as the T34, the Tiger 1 dominated the battle field. Even allied tank crews were heard saying they would rather be in a German Tiger versus the "flammable" Sherman Tank.
+Jack Ryan "How can you possibly know what these tank crews were thinking during those events?" --They always were complaining that they are outnumbered by the enemies tanks. The reason they were outnumbered is because Tigers were hell expensive, difficult to produce and hard to move quickly. Does not matter how powerful your tank, if enemy can easily field 4-7 tanks for the same price you screed. If enemy can assemble tanks in larger groups on a short notice, (because enemy travels faster) and flank you, you screwed. Tanks are not for dueling with each other, but to break through enemies defenses.
+breadbusket You are stating a fact? Or mere conjecture. How can you possibly know what these tank crews were thinking during those events? Years later, they may recount such things, but once again, it is mere heresay. The Tiger 1, even with its issues, was, is and shall always be the most feared armored vehicle of WWII. Period!
+Jack Ryan You are right Tiger tank crews did complain when they were taking out two,three,five,dozen armored allied vehicles in one engagement. Though they did not know, that they could have two,three,five,dozen panthers instead of one tiger and be much better off.
+Jack Ryan Tiger the most feared tank of WWII, bar none.Nope, not the case. Soviet IS2/IS3 series were as good if not better ...Pershings though not massively used were as good
The Tiger is overrated, it was deadly on the battlefield bit the problem
was getting it to the battlefield. it was difficult the manufacture,
expensive and prone to breakdowns and other machanical failures.
+John Blessing With such a difficult and expensive design it was impossible to make enough of them. Never mind gas guzzlers they were ...Numbers can come only from 2 factors a. production b. mobility in space. Tigers were to slow to move from place to place ...
Pz.Kpfw. IV Hydrostat - Last Stand Tag Team & Radley Walters! - World of Tanks
The Pz.Kpfw. IV (or Pz IV, or even Panzer 4 to you and me!) Hydrostat is a rarely seen German tier 5 premium medium tank from World of Tanks. Here we watch ...
My opinion is that this package is excellent! However it's BLOODY
expensive! 100€?!
ok. I've spent REALLY much money on wot, without a good reason.
I've been wanting that panzer for a little while, now, but since i have so
many premium tanks already, I don't think I have any good use for that GOLD!
*However* If you're looking for the best kind of opportunity to get 100€
worth of gold to wot, then WHAT U W8ing 4 M8?!! Go get it! :) *Best chance*
You benefit 10€s more from this package, that you would by buying the 100€
gold pack.
+AgingJediYeh! Well worth checking these things out when they advertise a bundle with something thrown in for free. It was OK with the Fury bundle but I have come across other offers that, like this one, are not all they are cut out to be.Interestingly, the Gold/Silver bundle special also goes for 3 days, coinciding with the Pz Kpfw IV special offer. You would think they would have the sense to hide the blooming obvious. or are they banking on players not doing the sums
+Zombi_ripuli WoT is going more for the bundles sales lately as a good marketing strategy. ie getting people to pay more to buy things they really don't want or need.Also, do your sums. I just checked it out here on the SEA server where it is offered at $205 with 10k Gold, 10m Silver and 30 days premium account. But if the items are bought separately the 10k Gold plus10m Silver bundle is currently on special at $137 and 30 days premium costs $15.End result - Pz Kpfw IV and slot costs $53, despite the shop advising that they are free.
+Zombi_ripuli Its true - and as Moonhunt pointed out, you can buy a lot of premium tanks with 30k gold. Its still too much for me though to spend in one go ;)
It doesn't appear that this deal is available on the North American server,
but I think it was available briefly at some point because I have seen a
few more of these than I used to.
I don't think I'd buy this one, though I did buy the similar deal when the
Fury was being offered. There was a bundle that was $100 worth of gold and
the Fury for $100. The gold has gotten used for a premium tank or two, some
occasional premium time, and for incidental expenses like garage slots,
crew retraining (both of which I wait for sales) and equipment demounting.
It can seem a bit daft to spend that much money on a free game, but I've
been playing for over two years and have had a lot of fun so I don't mind
supporting it. I probably would have spent as much or more money spending
my time playing conventional games over the same period of time.
Great teamwork by those two!
+Vnx I did a similar thing with the Fury bundle. I banked the Gold and waited for the right premium account offer to come up on special. I had to wait about 3 month but it was well worth it to get a bargain on a 6 month premium package :)But even I can't justify spending this level money.In fact, it always pays to do the sums. I just checked it out here on the SEA server where it is offered at $205 with 10k Gold, 10m Silver and 30 days premium account. But if the items are bought separately the 10k Gold, 10m Silver are currently on special at $137 and 30 days premium costs $15.End result - Pz Kpfw IV and slot costs $53, despite the shop advising that they are free.May be worth other viewers doing similar cost analysis on their own servers to make sure they are getting the bargain as advertised.
+Vnx I'm the same regarding waiting for sales etc. I certainly feel like I've had my moneys worth out of this game in relation to the amount of time I've spent playing it.
I have a Hyrdo that I got a long time ago (with a World of Tanks Razer
mouse), but the last time I tried to upload a replay, for some reason you
couldn't upload Hydro replays due to it being a special tank, or something
along those lines.I guess they've changed that now.I'm actually VERY pissed
off that they are selling this tank now (well, giving it away with a gold
purchase), as when I purchased the mouse it clearly stated the tank is
exclusive to the mouse purchase.
+Modern BoreFare I had the same issue uploading my Grosstraktor replays the other day, it wouldn't take them. This one however was uploaded as a "secret" replay that can only be accessed with a direct link - perhaps that's why it worked. And I wasn't aware of the mouse purchase including this and supposedly being exclusive, thanks. I guess if they promise its exclusive and sell products on that basis they shouldn't go back on it.
UHF Conan The Librarian
Conan The Librarian segment from Weird Al Yankovic's one and (so far) only movie, UHF (1989) Don't you know The Dewey Decimal System!?
I couldnt find where in this fine classic film I could locate the conan clip, and couldn't find it mentioned here, so, in case anyone is just dying inside to find out...its at 52:50
i looked up the info of the actor who played conan in this scene, and it
said he was only 5'10". does that mean that when he towered over those
people in this scene, does that mean that he was wearing elevator shoes or
standing on an elevated platform?
+steve Kos Camera angles can influence the appearance of height also.
How to Edit PZ batch files
Step 1: Right click the batch file you want to use. Step 2: click "edit" Step 3: locate "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre7\bin\java" (in the second line, it may also say ...

If you would like to help support this channel in doing the bit that I can to throw some perspective on present atheist issues: //www.patreon.com/noelplum99 ...
is that whole bookshelf added in later? (as in you're in front of a green
screen?) Been a while since i have seen one of your vids. Absolutely love
your logic/reasoning/criticisms.
keep up the good work.
+noelplum99 i had a feeling that's what was going on. you would have really fucked my head up if you reached back and pulled a book off the shelf. i don't think it's weird at all, i think it's a cool effect and comes in handy when you want to overlay graphics. the vid explaining the green screen was genius.
+lennyhipp Cant recall what i did on this one (and I am on my phone) but on a lot of videos now I prerecord my backdrop then use a green screen. As a few people have said, I am the only oerson they have ever known chroma key out a backgroubd and replace it with the same background!Check out this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3A4hXsb1pU
As a rescue worker I would actually consider you a medical professional at
least to some extent. How many peoples lives have you saved with CPR do you
think?
+itsjustamemeActually, amazingly I never have (though I am unusual, i think everyone of my colleagues has, at some time) because we happen to live in an area where in RTC's or well developed fires (where the need arises) we almost always have paramedic crews there on scene before we get there......... and when we don't i usually manage to wangle doing something other than casualty care :)
St Michael of Nugent Drives PZ Myers out of (Atheist) Ireland!
Made on the request of one of my patrons. Visit https://www.patreon.com/noelplum99 if you wish to help support my time on this channel. Thanks. 0:00 Intro 1:14 ...
Michael Nugent is a really good guy but Atheist Ireland is still full of
SJW Nazi assholes. I'm an Irish atheist and that organization certainly
does not represent me.
+MrManBuzz As always, FTB's is merely the wrong type of opinions for them, therefore they disavow themselves of the foreign entity, and begin to squabble over their smaller piece of land, which then later becomes smaller... and smaller.+gurudeclan Best tactic for dealing with Feminism is to say that is to immediately turn the issue to 3rd Wave Feminism. "I'd have been a Feminist in the 60's and 70's and would have been happy seeing the progress made so far in the 80's and 90's." And then quickly move the conversation onto the batshit that the 3rd wave comes out with and THIS, is why, bla bla bla. Or at least that's what I do.
+gurudeclan Well it's a given a SJW group will eventually tear itself apart, they're utterly toxic without exception.That's a real pity, it'd be nice to meet fellow Atheists in Ireland, but when they're A+ers (or its ilk) they're just as dogmatic as religious folk, people I don't have much time for.I thought with the fact they publicly disavowed themselves with PZ Myers it gave me hope they weren't like the reputation I read from others, oh well.
Yeah they're fucked. 99% SJW.. I was dogpiled on their Facebook page when I said simply: "Just because I'm an atheist, doesn't mean I'm a feminist" .. I stood my ground so I was accused of being a bigot, misogynist, etc etc. Of course, like any other group of SJWs, over time, they end up fighting among themselves.
+gurudeclan I've been interesting in getting involved in Atheist Ireland but I've been iffy on it because I've heard people saying exactly that, how badly have they drank the koolaid?
This makes me terribly sad in that it makes me wonder if Americans, in
general (and I am one), are just prone to fundamentalist style stupidity,
whether religious or not. Even Matt Dillahunty and the Atheist Community of
Austin, whose take-downs of religious nonsense I respect enormously, have
thrown their weight behind FTB, PZ, and this totalitarian bullshit.
I have had an email debate with both Matt and Russell on this subject, and
their responses sounded disturbingly like the crap that their theist
callers use to justify their positions. How can they NOT see this?
+Hyde HillI could see that. It has been so long since we had more than 2 serious political parties, that we may becoming entrenched in an us v them mentality on other issues.
+Pat Doyle There are a couple of competing hypothesis on this and it is probably a combination. But as a political scientist one of them I find somewhat valid is that the nature of the US political system encourages dualistic thinking when it comes to socio/political issues and this bleeds through. While in reality most things are multi polar.
Have you noticed how "dead" the atheist community is now days?
It's all thanks to these SJW infiltrating the movement and trying to take
it over.
Atheism plus is a dead elephant in the room and it smells and it's high
time we start to remove it's carcass, open the windows for fresh air and
move on.
But most importantly we must not ever allow this to happen again.
+Ukko Ylijumala I got involved late and when I see the fun pics Tf00t put up from after parties and the like pre A+, I think I missed the boat on that one. Lets not have some unrestricted fun and debate as an SJW might be in our midst! Hyperbole but you get what I am saying.
Before the video even starts: that's an astoundingly beautiful background.
Is it available online somewhere that I might get it and use it as a
desktop image?
I have hatches that just lift off. If you want a hinge,you might have to
shave off the hull half of the hinge. Take some new stock styrene make the
hinges then glue them on. I'm no expert,but that lever on the front inside
looks like the parking break. I know if you park a bulldozer on a grade
with the blade up and don't lock the drivetrain it will roll like a car.
Wonderful video,great work!! I will keep watching your progress here in the
U.S.A. Smashing job old mate!
Great build and such a monster kit, question priming first then using thin
cement. Just wondered while I understand the reason for this method I
always found that primer is not as good a surface for cement to adhere to
as bare plastic.
Hi Dave there are many differing schools of thought on this subject, even if to prime at all.... I do however like to make a good plastic to plastic contact when I can and if I can I scratch through any primer for the glue to "bite "... However liquid glues like tamiya extra thin will eat through a layer of paint
AAAAAUGHHH TRACKS oh my life. You need ALL THE PATIENCE
Oh, Tony Fairclough will have a field-day with the number of times you have
said "hinge" in this episode ^_^
I keep mishearing "frontal armour" as "front llama". Now I see a tank
without a front llama as incomplete somehow..
Eager for the next part :)
How about using a hot needle held at 90° in a pair of pliers to make the
holes for the hinges? A very thin flat piece of metal under the area to
protect it. That's the sort of problem that really makes the braincells
buzz. Really enjoying the build and would love to be doing it myself.
