Correction 02:50 Should be 30 degree or 60%. Thanks for watching. This one was a ton of work. Please, like and subscribe and let us know where else we got it wrong. Thanks !

A lot of channels speak about stuff like armor thickness or engine horsepower, but showing things like how the vehicle is operated from the inside and the tiny little details on every component puts this channel on a whole other level. Great stuff!
-
Oh my god, a 3D combat vehicle video that isn't using an AI script and voice. Thank you so much.
-
This has to be the best tech breakdown / explainer channel currently on YouTube.

Hi! I'm a volunteer docent and mechanic at The American Heritage Museum. I am occasionally asked by guests for sources of additional information on exhibits like our very "colorful" Easy 8. This channel is now on my list! Thank you for your hard work!

Outstanding video! Fantastic cutaways making the topic or particular feature easy to understand. Very well done! Love the Sherman. It's my favorite tank.
-
Man you don’t cease to impress me with such amazing videos and in-depth explanations and animations, would love one like this of the Merkava tank.

WOW! This is highest quality evaluation I (I repeat that "I" have observed) have seen yet to date with the perfect amount of time too keep attention w/invaluable information.. Not too much... not too little... Kudos. Outstanding prodution!

The only things I'd really note are: 400 yards to pen a Tiger I with HVAP is a bit conservative; the M93 round can get through 135mm of 30 degree sloped RHA at a full kilometer. A Tiger's upper front would be easily penetrated at that range. Also, it's worth mentioning that a lot of Easy Eights got the M1A2 variant of the 76mm; the dimensions were the same as the M1A1 but it had a faster rifling twist of 1 turn in 32 calibers instead of 1 in 40. This gave it a noticeably better velocity retention at longer ranges when using the M62A1 shells. Regardless, this is a beautiful video with tons of excellent information. Props to all of y'all!

The quality of visual representation and the accuracy of the information is truly unbelievable and designed and executed so well! Amazing!
-
Amazing presentation. One short 3D cutaway footage of a Sherman is more revealing than reading 2 books.
-
I have never seen such a clear and detailed explanation of a WW2 weapon. Congratulations, this is fantastic work. I will recommend the channel to those who follow my podcast.

I've seen other videos breaking down tanks/vehicles. This is by far the best, hell, others don't even compare! It's like Blue Paw gave a damn while making this! Love it!

Just an awesome presentation!
