| 4s | the shooting range |
|---|---|
| 8s | in this episode pages of history tanks |
| 11s | with no loaders |
| 13s | round study choosing the best 85 |
| 17s | millimeter capped round |
| 19s | and metal beasts |
| 21s | the tiny italian archer |
| 33s | almost all early jets share lots of |
| 37s | similarities |
| 38s | their poor dynamics impose harsh limits |
| 41s | on their flight performance and any turn |
| 44s | leads to lost speed |
| 46s | but today's metal beasts features a rare |
| 49s | exception |
| 50s | the sagittario 2 a light italian jet |
| 55s | fighter |
| 56s | its power plant is a turbojet engine |
| 58s | placed in the front self-sealing fuel |
| 61s | tanks are found in the central part of |
| 63s | the fuselage bulletproof glass and a |
| 65s | steel armor plate protect the pilot the |
| 68s | fixed armament includes two 30 |
| 70s | millimeter auto cannons with 120 rounds |
| 74s | of ammo each |
| 76s | at first it doesn't look like much just |
| 78s | an ordinary fighter for its rank what |
| 81s | makes this machine unique is its amazing |
| 84s | thrust to weight ratio |
| 87s | and it doesn't even come from the engine |
| 88s | since it's pretty modest for this battle |
| 90s | rating what makes it so good is the size |
| 94s | and mass of the fighter it's only 2 300 |
| 97s | kilograms of empty weight |
| 100s | moreover the engine has no afterburner |
| 102s | and thus spends less fuel which means |
| 105s | you don't have to load more than the |
| 107s | minimum in most scenarios |
| 110s | this italian jet won't break any speed |
| 112s | records of course but instead it has |
| 115s | some other valuable abilities remember |
| 118s | the optimal tactics for most jet |
| 120s | fighters fly straight and make fewer |
| 122s | turns to preserve vital speed and avoid |
| 125s | turning yourself into an easy target |
| 127s | well the sagittario has something to say |
| 130s | here it's simply perfect for dog fights |
| 135s | it can start a maneuverable fight |
| 136s | against multiple opponents find a good |
| 140s | firing position under enormous overload |
| 143s | destroy enemy aircraft and still |
| 145s | preserve most of its speed still you |
| 148s | shouldn't go reckless of course |
| 151s | no matter how good its energy is the |
| 153s | plane's still vulnerable in a turn so |
| 156s | you need to stay aware and alert |
| 162s | besides maneuverability this fighter |
| 164s | needs firepower to complete its combat |
| 167s | mission |
| 168s | and it's pretty good here the sagittario |
| 171s | has two 30 millimeter autocannons and it |
| 175s | isn't the defer or aiden ones usually |
| 179s | found on its counterparts this italian's |
| 182s | weaponry is much more powerful |
| 185s | it has a higher fire rate and excellent |
| 187s | ballistics so excellent in fact that it |
| 190s | might become an issue at first you won't |
| 193s | expect laser precision from a 30 |
| 195s | millimeter cannon the only |
| 197s | disappointment is the ammo pool |
| 200s | you'll have to use it sparingly and |
| 202s | stick to short volleys if you want it to |
| 204s | last the whole battle |
| 208s | now where this plane doesn't shine is |
| 211s | attacking enemy tanks it has no |
| 214s | suspended armament whatsoever and its |
| 217s | cannons don't even have ap rounds and |
| 220s | since |
| 221s | almost no open compartment vehicles can |
| 224s | be found on this br you needn't even |
| 227s | bother getting distracted by enemy |
| 229s | ground forces focus on air |
| 233s | well that's it for this unconventional |
| 235s | little fighter simple as it can be |
| 239s | yet extremely dangerous |
| 254s | back in the early days of armored |
| 257s | vehicles arming a tank was easy even in |
| 261s | the 1930s light 37 to 45 millimeter |
| 265s | cannons were good enough to fight enemy |
| 267s | infantry and most other armored vehicles |
| 270s | and since such guns had modest sizes |
| 273s | they could be installed even on armored |
| 276s | cars |
| 277s | rounds used in them were too light and |
| 280s | compact so a loader's job wasn't too |
| 283s | tough there were no issues with ammo |
| 286s | pools either for instance the t26 had |
| 289s | 205 rounds and even the kv-1 managed to |
| 293s | take on no less than |
| 295s | 111 |
| 297s | tanks never fight tanks was a popular |
| 300s | idea then but combat experience and time |
| 303s | soon proved it wrong |
| 305s | combat vehicles gained more armor and |
| 308s | weight which in turn required heavier |
| 311s | weapons to fight them and that's where |
| 313s | the issues started to grow first |
| 316s | bigger calibers became much harder to |
| 319s | handle for the loaders their mass was |
| 321s | snowballing while human strength |
| 324s | unfortunately |
| 325s | was not |
| 327s | second the ammo pool was getting |
| 328s | shallower |
| 330s | bigger calibers needed more space |
| 332s | and tanks have always been short on it |
| 335s | the is-2 is a good example a good weapon |
| 339s | some nice armor not too heavy either but |
| 342s | his total ammo pool was only 28 shots |
| 346s | engineers had to find ways if the loader |
| 349s | couldn't handle the job anymore why not |
| 351s | replace them with a mechanism if that |
| 353s | mechanism also occupies less space maybe |
| 357s | the ammo count would go up as well but |
| 360s | that led to a new issue |
| 362s | guns have vertical guidance which means |
| 365s | the gun breach can move up and down how |
| 368s | do you ensure the round gets where it |
| 370s | needs to be |
| 372s | the french engineers were the first to |
| 373s | come up with a solution they fixed the |
| 376s | gun and the loading mechanism to the |
| 378s | upper part of the turret that could rock |
| 381s | back and forth as a whole it was the |
| 383s | first reliable way to reload a gun with |
| 386s | no human involvement but it also failed |
| 389s | to replace the traditional approach for |
| 392s | two reasons |
| 393s | the first one had to do with the |
| 395s | stabilizer it turned out that |
| 398s | oscillating turrets were incompatible |
| 400s | with them the second reason was the |
| 403s | necessary clearances between the turret |
| 405s | elements which were very hard to seal |
| 408s | the swedish engineers took the french |
| 411s | idea and pushed it to either its logical |
| 414s | conclusion or full-on absurdity |
| 417s | the sdrv 103 had its gun |
| 421s | fixed tight in its hull permanently the |
| 424s | whole tank became one big oscillating |
| 427s | turret it was an interesting idea from |
| 429s | the technical point of view but there |
| 432s | was no way it had become widespread of |
| 435s | course |
| 436s | the soviet engineers came up with a more |
| 438s | successful solution |
| 440s | they dropped the loader position in the |
| 442s | t-64 and reduced its crew to three |
| 445s | the gun received a revolving container |
| 448s | for 28 rounds underneath it during the |
| 451s | loading process the breach would be |
| 453s | placed against the loading mechanism and |
| 455s | then returned to the previous position |
| 457s | and recover the aim |
| 459s | this approach shares no disadvantages |
| 462s | with the oscillating turret but still |
| 464s | most nations aren't in a hurry to drop |
| 466s | their loaders the t-64 had a good rate |
| 470s | of fire until the conveyor ran out of |
| 472s | ammo |
| 473s | after that the crew had to load it |
| 475s | manually and boy did it take some |
| 478s | agility the rest of the ammo was stowed |
| 481s | in most unexpected places making its use |
| 484s | a tricky business |
| 486s | they even had a special manual |
| 488s | instructing them to perform some |
| 489s | unconventional activities mid-battle |
| 492s | such as rotating the turret to a certain |
| 495s | degree |
| 496s | unique for each round they needed |
| 499s | other nations had their own solutions |
| 501s | for this issue too |
| 503s | decades after those french engineers |
| 505s | came up with the oscillating turret |
| 507s | their successors created the le claire |
| 511s | main battle tank this machine has a 22 |
| 514s | round autoloader in the rear turret and |
| 517s | the rest of the ammo is placed into a |
| 519s | drum next to the driver pretty simple to |
| 522s | reach |
| 523s | similar mechanisms were later used by |
| 525s | the japanese engineers in their type 90 |
| 528s | and type 10 tanks and a south korean k2 |
| 532s | recently joined the party |
| 535s | maybe that's the happy medium the |
| 536s | engineers had spent so much time and |
| 539s | effort looking for still tank building |
| 542s | evolution hasn't stopped yet and new |
| 545s | ideas are just biding their time |
| 555s | [Music] |
| 562s | soviet tanks with 85 millimeter cannons |
| 565s | usually have at least two and sometimes |
| 568s | even three different capped rounds the |
| 571s | choice between the orgival nosed br 365k |
| 575s | and the bluntnose br365a |
| 579s | is pretty obvious |
| 581s | the latter performs better in almost |
| 584s | every way meanwhile more modern machines |
| 587s | such as the t44 or the type 62 have the |
| 591s | br 367 a ballistic cap round with an |
| 595s | army piercing cap |
| 597s | that complicates your choice so today |
| 600s | we'll try our best at answering the |
| 603s | what's better question |
| 608s | we'll start with the blunt one a |
| 610s | favorite for many its main use is |
| 613s | against heavily sloped armor that makes |
| 616s | most other rounds ricochet a decent |
| 618s | amount of explosive ensures a high |
| 621s | chance of destroying your target after |
| 623s | penetration |
| 624s | but the br 365 a has some flaws too |
| 629s | and the higher the battle rating the |
| 632s | more you can feel it for instance the |
| 635s | t-44 often needs more penetration to |
| 639s | pierce the frontal armor at a square |
| 642s | angle |
| 643s | let's proceed to experiments |
| 645s | we'll take the american t25 for a target |
| 649s | it has an optimal protection level for |
| 652s | our testing let's angle it and try to |
| 655s | aim for the upper front plate despite |
| 658s | the angling the armor can't stop the |
| 660s | projectile |
| 662s | and even the track links don't always |
| 664s | help the turret performs a little better |
| 668s | its sides can be easily penetrated even |
| 670s | at a good angle leading to grave damage |
| 674s | to the crew but the mantlist stays |
| 677s | impenetrable to give you a better |
| 679s | understanding of the raw power of 160 |
| 682s | grams of he |
| 683s | will use the king tiger for our next |
| 686s | target we'll even unload all of its ammo |
| 688s | before shooting into its side well |
| 691s | all the turret crew is certainly out and |
| 694s | the shrapnel often hits some of the |
| 696s | tankers in the hull as well |
| 698s | the result is obvious the german machine |
| 701s | was one-shotted |
| 706s | let's switch to the armor-piercing |
| 708s | capped br 367 round theoretically its |
| 712s | penetration rate is much higher |
| 714s | but it also carries much less explosive |
| 717s | only 70 grams of tnt equivalent let's |
| 721s | put it into practice |
| 722s | firing at the t25 |
| 724s | and the angled hull of the tank shows an |
| 727s | unexpected level of resistance |
| 730s | its only weak area is the machine gun in |
| 732s | the front it's barely possible to |
| 734s | penetrate the upper front plate here and |
| 737s | the area covered by track links is out |
| 740s | of reach |
| 741s | the turret sides can still be penetrated |
| 744s | without an issue though and the mantlet |
| 746s | opens up a few new vulnerabilities |
| 749s | hitting them will damage the gun or the |
| 752s | turret crew but it's impossible to hit |
| 755s | the driver and the machine gunner this |
| 757s | way let's send a few shots at the |
| 759s | tiger's side for the sake of the |
| 761s | experiment we'll aim for the same place |
| 765s | expectedly the turret crew is knocked |
| 767s | out while the driver and machine gunner |
| 769s | avoid their fate in most cases of course |
| 773s | there's no return fire from this tiger |
| 775s | after such a shot but it'll still drive |
| 777s | and remain on the battlefield |
| 780s | let's sum up both projectiles have their |
| 782s | strengths in various situations |
| 785s | and both are worth taking to a battle if |
| 788s | you see |
| 789s | american tanks with their sloped armor |
| 791s | in the sights go for the blunt nose |
| 794s | rounds |
| 795s | if the enemy team has square-shaped |
| 797s | german machines the 367 will perform |
| 800s | better of course you can also take both |
| 803s | types and align your choice with the |
| 805s | situation |
| 806s | manage to flank the enemy the 365 a with |
| 810s | its large he load it is |
| 814s | met a thicker armored enemy |
| 816s | load the ogival nose projectile then and |
| 819s | even if you run out of one of them it |
| 821s | won't become a big deal |
| 823s | both of the rounds are pretty good at |
| 825s | what they're supposed to do |
| 827s | so whilst you're figuring out which ones |
| 830s | you're going to use we'll answer some of |
| 832s | the questions that you've asked us in |
| 834s | the comments below |
| 836s | [Music] |
| 849s | the first question is sent by a player |
| 851s | called j16t |
| 854s | which gun location is better for planes |
| 857s | nose or wings |
| 860s | ij16t |
| 861s | any weapon placed in the nose allows for |
| 864s | a high precision long distance fire |
| 867s | wing place guns create a wider sheaf of |
| 870s | rounds that demand less accuracy from |
| 873s | the pilot |
| 874s | it might also be useful in a dogfight |
| 877s | where your firing position is less than |
| 879s | ideal such as during stalling |
| 883s | slicerax gaming writes what is the best |
| 886s | way to use the fj4b vmf 232 in a |
| 890s | dogfight |
| 892s | either slicerx gaming the fj4 is best in |
| 896s | a support role wait for your enemies to |
| 900s | start a dogfight with your allies and |
| 902s | attack them while preserving speed |
| 906s | another question comes from a normal |
| 908s | youtube username what is that piece of |
| 911s | metal on the front that raises up when |
| 913s | the soviet tanks swim supposed to do |
| 917s | hello normal youtube username this piece |
| 920s | of metal cuts through oncoming water and |
| 923s | prevents it from flooding the upper part |
| 926s | of the hull |
| 927s | [Music] |
| 928s | tk221 asks |
| 930s | why aren't artillery shells leaving deep |
| 934s | craters after impact on the ground as |
| 936s | bombs |
| 938s | hi there tk221 the largest calibers such |
| 942s | as the ones found on the fv-4005 |
| 945s | or the centurion avray |
| 948s | do leave craters |
| 950s | as for smaller calibers we limited |
| 952s | crater creation on purpose since even a |
| 955s | quick combat between tanks would make |
| 958s | the whole battlefield impossible to |
| 960s | cross |
| 961s | and the last comment for today was |
| 963s | written by the russian feather |
| 965s | how about metal beasts on the yak-23 |
| 970s | hi there russian feather it's a pretty |
| 972s | interesting plane we can't promise a |
| 975s | feature in the next episode but we may |
| 977s | discuss it sometime later |
| 980s | thanks for the idea |
| 983s | my weekly repeat to you guys |
| 986s | that's it for today you've been watching |
| 988s | the shooting range by gaijin |
