| 4s | the shooting range |
|---|---|
| 8s | in this episode pages of history a tank |
| 11s | destroyer's hard fate tactics and |
| 14s | strategy |
| 16s | active protection systems |
| 18s | and metal beasts a chinese tank with an |
| 22s | offbeat character |
| 33s | another episode another new machine from |
| 37s | wind of change update |
| 39s | today we're having a metal guest from |
| 41s | china |
| 42s | it's reminiscent of the t55 but its hull |
| 46s | and gun barrel look unusually long |
| 49s | its name is the ztz 88a and we'd like to |
| 54s | take a closer look |
| 56s | its main caliber is a two plane |
| 57s | stabilized 105 millimeter cannon with |
| 60s | elevation angles ranging between -4 and |
| 63s | plus 18 degrees |
| 65s | it's also equipped with coaxial and |
| 67s | pintle mounted machine guns as well as |
| 70s | smoke launchers the transmission |
| 72s | and the engine are in the rear |
| 75s | four crew members follow a classic |
| 77s | seating |
| 78s | layout in the turret and the hull |
| 81s | the upper front plate has additional |
| 83s | composite armor plates |
| 85s | so what's so special about this tank |
| 88s | how is it different from the soviet 55s |
| 91s | and 62s there are quite a few |
| 93s | differences both good and dubious ones |
| 96s | but first let's talk about the |
| 98s | advantages |
| 102s | the very first one is mobility |
| 105s | almost 19 horsepower per ton is by no |
| 109s | means a record but it makes this machine |
| 112s | more competitive in its class |
| 115s | its maximum speeds of 57 kph forward and |
| 118s | 9 kph in reverse allows this tank to |
| 122s | maneuver the battlefield quickly enough |
| 124s | and retreat when necessary to make the |
| 127s | latter safer this tank has some smoke |
| 129s | laying systems grenade launchers on the |
| 132s | turret and the ess |
| 134s | another major difference from the soviet |
| 136s | counterparts is weaponry |
| 139s | the ztz88 |
| 141s | has a 105 millimeter gun much like most |
| 145s | of european and american tanks |
| 147s | unfortunately capped rounds and guided |
| 150s | missiles are unavailable for this tank |
| 153s | but it's no big deal |
| 155s | it has a fin stabilized discarding sabot |
| 158s | round that can penetrate up to 350 |
| 161s | millimeters of armor |
| 163s | and for annoying enemy air it has some |
| 166s | he's a proximity fuse and 1.5 kilos of |
| 170s | explosives which won't give them a break |
| 176s | there's a laser rangefinder for those |
| 178s | long distance shots thermals were |
| 181s | probably deemed too luxurious for this |
| 183s | tank so it only has some regular night |
| 186s | vision devices for fighting in the dark |
| 188s | the depression angles on this gun aren't |
| 190s | that great even compared to soviet |
| 192s | machines |
| 196s | as for protection |
| 197s | well let's say it isn't the forte of |
| 200s | this tank |
| 202s | it does have some armor but not good |
| 204s | enough to feel confident |
| 206s | it can save the tank from capped and |
| 208s | solid rounds some he and regular ds |
| 211s | rounds as for the apf sds so popular at |
| 215s | this rank |
| 216s | they simply ignore it |
| 220s | all in all the |
| 222s | ztz8's performance puts it somewhere |
| 225s | between the soviet and the western tanks |
| 227s | of its class it prefers an even |
| 230s | landscape and larger distances but can |
| 233s | still stand its ground in dynamic urban |
| 236s | skirmishes |
| 249s | as a rule of thumb tanks are the most |
| 252s | mass-produced heavy tracked armored |
| 254s | vehicles |
| 255s | which comes as no surprise since these |
| 258s | machines are pretty versatile and can |
| 261s | perform various combat tasks that's the |
| 264s | approach the allies used in the second |
| 265s | world war their main forces were |
| 268s | comprised of tanks the shermans and the |
| 271s | t-34s |
| 272s | but germany had its own way |
| 275s | the most mass-produced metal beast in |
| 277s | germany was the stug iii tank destroyer |
| 282s | if we include the stocha 42 more than 10 |
| 286s | 000 of them were made |
| 288s | the g modification alone had higher |
| 291s | numbers than all modifications of panzer |
| 293s | 4s together |
| 295s | nevertheless the germans didn't think |
| 297s | those volumes and models were enough and |
| 300s | they never planned to stop they decided |
| 303s | to design another tank destroyer based |
| 305s | on the panzer iv |
| 307s | the vomag company already had some |
| 310s | experience in building them and that's |
| 312s | why it was chosen to commission a new |
| 314s | assault gun in september 1942 |
| 318s | the work was unusually quick |
| 320s | they had a wooden model in may 1943 |
| 324s | and the first prototype soon after |
| 326s | the performance of this new machine made |
| 329s | a good impression |
| 331s | and its design was much nimbler than the |
| 333s | blocky stool gun previously the gun had |
| 337s | a bulky mount but now it was attached to |
| 340s | the upper armor plate the combat |
| 342s | compartment was now sloped the overall |
| 345s | height reduced and the cheeks around the |
| 348s | gun mantlet disappeared |
| 350s | strange as it may seem the vomag tank |
| 352s | destroyer never replaced the stoog |
| 355s | soon after development was over the new |
| 358s | assault gun was first reclassed into a |
| 360s | light tank destroyer and then renamed |
| 363s | into yagada panzer |
| 366s | the change in class and name was a |
| 368s | result of beyond the scene's intrigue |
| 371s | and internal political struggle at the |
| 374s | top |
| 375s | originally the shtugs were supplied to |
| 379s | the artillery while tankers got weak |
| 382s | armored murders the panzerwaffe was |
| 384s | unhappy with this so the fate of the new |
| 387s | spgs changed with a sleight of hand |
| 390s | jagdpanzer four's further path wasn't |
| 393s | smooth either |
| 395s | by late 1943 the allies bombed the |
| 398s | factories that made the stug iii and the |
| 401s | germans were looking for an urgent way |
| 403s | to reinforce |
| 405s | that was precisely the time when the new |
| 407s | model was being launched into production |
| 410s | it would make all the sense to |
| 412s | concentrate on it right |
| 414s | well no only the vomag factory was |
| 417s | making the yagda panzer iv while croup |
| 420s | used the same chassis to make their own |
| 422s | stug four |
| 424s | that were inferior in many ways |
| 427s | a transition to a new gun made the range |
| 430s | of german spgs even wider |
| 433s | their previous cannons could not ensure |
| 435s | damage to the is-2 tanks so the |
| 438s | jagadapanzer 4 received a long barrelled |
| 441s | one |
| 442s | like the one on the panther |
| 444s | they urgently needed large numbers of |
| 446s | improved tank destroyers |
| 449s | they could start assembling them in a |
| 450s | factory that already had panzer 4 lines |
| 453s | but instead they designed and launched |
| 456s | another new model into production the |
| 458s | panzer 4 |
| 460s | 70 a |
| 462s | the substitute turned out to be too |
| 464s | heavy and clumsy its chassis |
| 467s | load was at its limit and on top of that |
| 470s | it had inferior size and armor |
| 473s | so that's how the production of great |
| 476s | light jagdpanzer iv tank destroyers were |
| 479s | limited to only one factory |
| 482s | in 1944 the german industry was making |
| 485s | no less than six types of 75 millimeter |
| 488s | self-propelled guns |
| 490s | half of them |
| 491s | made no sense at all |
| 507s | the new update's main fresh mechanic is |
| 510s | indeed the tank active protection |
| 513s | systems or aps for short and we can't |
| 516s | ignore this big change so today we'd |
| 520s | like to tell you about all these new |
| 522s | systems |
| 525s | some theory first all active protection |
| 528s | systems follow the same principle |
| 531s | sensing equipment be it radar or optical |
| 534s | sensors detects a threat such as a round |
| 538s | a shell or a missile a computing unit |
| 541s | then analyzes the data and sends a |
| 543s | command to employ countermeasures by |
| 545s | counter-attacking the incoming |
| 547s | projectile |
| 549s | none of the existing systems come with a |
| 551s | guarantee of absolute security of course |
| 554s | each of them comes with its own limits |
| 557s | moreover even when the aps works as |
| 560s | intended a detonation of several |
| 563s | kilograms of explosives is never |
| 565s | harmless and can cost the tanks some of |
| 568s | its detachable equipment |
| 570s | you can learn the specs of each |
| 572s | particular aps by pointing your cursor |
| 574s | at the unit in x-ray mode |
| 577s | meanwhile we'll take a look at how they |
| 580s | work and what they can do in practice |
| 586s | we'll start with the earliest system the |
| 588s | soviet drozd it can protect a tank from |
| 592s | guided missiles projectiles from |
| 594s | recoilless guns and he rounds that were |
| 597s | shot from afar and lost a lot of their |
| 600s | speed |
| 600s | while you don't expect to see a lot of |
| 603s | recoilless guns in the game |
| 605s | atgms and 105 millimeter he rounds are |
| 609s | something the t-55 sees a lot |
| 612s | this aps only works in the front |
| 615s | 40 degrees each side horizontally 6 |
| 617s | degrees down and 20 degrees up |
| 621s | which means any enemy attacking its side |
| 624s | or helis launching atgms at high |
| 627s | altitude will meet no resistance |
| 630s | the drawers that can boast the biggest |
| 632s | supply of countermeasures with a total |
| 634s | of eight |
| 635s | and the best reaction speed since the |
| 638s | charges are held in fixed launches |
| 641s | this advantage is also a major flaw |
| 644s | however each of the four pairs of |
| 646s | counter measures is responsible for its |
| 648s | own small sector |
| 650s | after they're triggered the aps will |
| 653s | have a vulnerable area |
| 655s | so you'll have to rotate the turret |
| 657s | manually to defend yourself from another |
| 659s | attack with the remaining unused area of |
| 662s | the aps |
| 666s | next today is the israeli trophy aps |
| 670s | unlike the previous model this one can |
| 673s | boast a 360 degree protection from the |
| 676s | same types of projectiles it still won't |
| 679s | save you from a missile to the roof of |
| 681s | course but at least it covers the rear |
| 684s | and the sides |
| 685s | the trophies countermeasures are found |
| 687s | in two rotating launchers so it needs |
| 690s | more time to react |
| 693s | 300 milliseconds |
| 695s | more importantly it needs 1.5 seconds to |
| 698s | reload and get ready for another threat |
| 702s | in practice it simply means the israeli |
| 704s | aps can't intercept two projectiles in a |
| 707s | row |
| 708s | an interesting feature of all systems is |
| 712s | the layout of their protection arcs |
| 714s | in the trophy each of them exceeds 180 |
| 718s | degrees |
| 719s | which means |
| 720s | there's some overlap in the front and |
| 723s | rear so |
| 724s | if the incoming projectile travels |
| 726s | directly in the front or the rear this |
| 729s | system can employ all six |
| 731s | countermeasures |
| 735s | finally the most advanced aps is the |
| 738s | british iron fist it provides a full |
| 741s | circle of protection too but that's not |
| 744s | the best part |
| 746s | the top mbt usually fire fin stabilized |
| 750s | rounds and the iron fist is the only aps |
| 754s | currently available in the game that can |
| 757s | handle them of course you need some |
| 759s | distance to be able to react to such a |
| 762s | quick target a couple of hundred meters |
| 764s | is required to intercept one the project |
| 767s | interceptors of the british system are |
| 769s | launched from twin rotating tubes which |
| 772s | can be ready to deflect another threat |
| 774s | in 300 milliseconds much like on the |
| 778s | trophy protection arcs are wider than |
| 780s | 180 degrees and create two overlapping |
| 784s | zones in the front and rear |
| 787s | now |
| 787s | the iron fist's main floor is a modest |
| 791s | charge pool |
| 793s | only four |
| 797s | well |
| 798s | looks like that's everything you need to |
| 800s | know about aps |
| 802s | don't forget to check how many charges |
| 804s | you have left in the bottom left corner |
| 806s | of your screen |
| 808s | by the way you can refill them on |
| 810s | friendly strategic points |
| 812s | we wish you more successful |
| 814s | interceptions and fewer armor pens |
| 817s | meanwhile we'll get to answering some of |
| 820s | your questions |
| 836s | the first question today was sent by a |
| 838s | player called such potential |
| 840s | what are the graphic settings of the |
| 842s | gameplay background footage |
| 845s | hi there |
| 847s | we've asked our crew to show you their |
| 849s | graphic settings |
| 850s | here's everything you might want to know |
| 853s | it's all on ultra as you can see and the |
| 856s | resolution is 4k too |
| 860s | raptor bro asks |
| 862s | why do most of the british planes have a |
| 865s | french flag on their tails |
| 869s | hereafter it's not the french flag |
| 872s | actually it's the royal air force |
| 874s | insignia it's the colors that are the |
| 876s | same |
| 877s | sometimes there's no white stripe |
| 880s | by the way the red is always in the |
| 882s | front so it resembles the french flag |
| 885s | only when seen from one of the sides |
| 889s | another question comes from atomy 8713 |
| 893s | what is the white strip that the f4e |
| 897s | phantom has in the middle of the |
| 898s | fuselage |
| 900s | hello there |
| 902s | it's one of the special formation lights |
| 904s | that show the plane's contours and help |
| 906s | pilots fly in groups in low light |
| 908s | conditions |
| 910s | gabriel adorno or could that be |
| 913s | gabriella dorno writes can certain |
| 916s | aircraft be maneuverable |
| 918s | more so than others at different |
| 919s | altitudes if so can you name an example |
| 923s | hi gabriel |
| 925s | yes |
| 926s | aircraft performance depends on a whole |
| 928s | range of parameters with altitude being |
| 931s | one of the major contributors it's |
| 933s | perfectly normal to see one aircraft |
| 935s | being more maneuverable only in a |
| 937s | certain altitude range |
| 939s | the la-7 for instance can turn quicker |
| 942s | than the raiden below three kilometers |
| 945s | but the japanese fighter is better above |
| 947s | that |
| 949s | and the last comment for today was |
| 951s | written by |
| 953s | wolf throws |
| 955s | if i submerge half my tank underwater |
| 957s | will the shell reduce penetration if it |
| 959s | hits the water |
| 961s | hello wolf rose |
| 962s | yes it's a valid tactic |
| 965s | rounds do lose speed and penetration if |
| 967s | they hit water |
| 969s | that's it for today |
| 971s | you've been watching the shooting range |
| 973s | by gaijin entertainment and the next |
| 975s | episode will premiere the following |
