| 5s | a few years ago |
|---|---|
| 7s | we already made a video about the most |
| 9s | well-protected tanks in war thunder like |
| 13s | the german mouse or the american t-95 |
| 17s | tank destroyer but as time passed many |
| 21s | new vehicles were introduced to the game |
| 24s | including quite a few designs that were |
| 26s | considerably more modern |
| 28s | that's why today we're going to talk |
| 31s | about the most well protected heavies |
| 34s | once again |
| 35s | but this time |
| 37s | it's all about mbts |
| 42s | we start with the t-62m |
| 46s | 1 |
| 47s | an improved version of the soviet t-62 |
| 50s | during development engineers goal was to |
| 54s | bring the tank's survivability to the |
| 57s | standards of the late cold war era the |
| 60s | upper frontal plate was reinforced with |
| 62s | add-on composite armor and the vehicle |
| 65s | also received rubber side skirts and |
| 68s | side panels |
| 69s | as a result the hull of this t-62 is |
| 73s | well protected against hits with older |
| 76s | munitions and the turret can reliably |
| 78s | withstand early apf sds rounds |
| 86s | at sixth place we have the british |
| 89s | chieftain mark 10. this mbt is pretty |
| 94s | slow but that was a conscious decision |
| 97s | on the engineers part as they tried to |
| 100s | make the tank as well protected as |
| 102s | possible |
| 103s | and you know what |
| 105s | thanks to the shape and the thickness of |
| 107s | armor on the turret as well as the use |
| 110s | of steel brew armor a hull down |
| 113s | chieftain is almost invincible to |
| 116s | attacks with sub-caliber munitions its |
| 119s | upper glacy plate is not as thick as the |
| 122s | armor on the turret but it sloped at |
| 124s | more than 70 degrees |
| 132s | [Music] |
| 133s | then we have the m1 a1 hc |
| 138s | compared to earlier models this variant |
| 142s | of the iconic abrams features a modified |
| 145s | armor arrangement rounds like the |
| 148s | western dm-33 or the soviet 3bm 46 still |
| 153s | can penetrate the vehicle's defenses |
| 156s | but in most cases |
| 158s | only by hitting weak points like its |
| 160s | lower glacier the good part is that no |
| 163s | mobility was sacrificed to allow for |
| 166s | better survivability |
| 168s | this m1a1 is as mobile as ever |
| 175s | in the fourth place on our list is the |
| 177s | swedish s tank |
| 179s | the famous stridswagen 103a |
| 183s | what makes it different from most other |
| 185s | mbts is that it's a turretless design |
| 189s | with a fixed gun and a hydropneumatic |
| 193s | suspension its upper frontal plate is |
| 196s | only 40 millimeters thick but it sloped |
| 199s | at |
| 200s | 79 degrees |
| 202s | most rounds won't even leave a scratch |
| 204s | on that |
| 205s | the lower frontal plate can't boast such |
| 208s | a favorable angle as well but it still |
| 210s | can bounce off quite a few shells |
| 214s | furthermore the tank has fuel cans |
| 216s | placed along the sides acting as |
| 218s | additional armor against heat |
| 221s | projectiles |
| 222s | and thanks to the way the controls were |
| 224s | set the s tank can be operated by just a |
| 228s | single crew member |
| 233s | at the third place we have the british |
| 236s | challenger 2 tes |
| 239s | what can we say the british do like |
| 241s | their armor the turret face of the tank |
| 244s | can reliably withstand hits with modern |
| 247s | rounds the only hits that are really |
| 250s | dangerous to us are the ones to the gun |
| 252s | mantlet furthermore era blocks on the |
| 256s | sides provide decent protection against |
| 258s | heat projectiles with the exception of |
| 261s | tandem charge weapons and the tank is |
| 264s | pretty well defended against sub-caliber |
| 266s | rounds |
| 267s | at the same time |
| 268s | when it comes to mobility |
| 270s | this challenger shares the fate of the |
| 273s | chieftain |
| 274s | some sacrifices had to be made to get |
| 276s | that superior survivability |
| 283s | [Music] |
| 285s | the silver medal goes to the soviet |
| 288s | t-72b |
| 290s | mbt |
| 291s | it's an upgraded variant of the |
| 293s | legendary t-72a |
| 296s | the armor of this model is strong enough |
| 299s | to protect the vehicle from sub caliber |
| 302s | munitions and the contact 1 era performs |
| 306s | really well against heat projectiles |
| 311s | finally the well-deserved gold goes to |
| 315s | two tanks at the same time |
| 318s | the soviet |
| 319s | t-80bvm |
| 321s | and the swedish strv 122 b plss |
| 326s | which is a heavily modified and upgraded |
| 330s | leopard 2. |
| 332s | despite the fact that those vehicles |
| 334s | were produced by different schools of |
| 336s | tank design |
| 338s | both tanks are really good at taking a |
| 340s | punch and are fully deserving of the |
| 343s | first place honor |
| 345s | if an enemy projectile isn't hitting |
| 347s | their turret ring or the mantlet they |
| 349s | can withstand literally any hit to the |
| 352s | front of their turrets |
| 354s | the bodies of those tanks are really |
| 356s | well protected also |
| 358s | granted they're not as tough as the |
| 361s | turret front but they still provide |
| 363s | enough protection to withstand hits by |
| 365s | the strongest rounds in the game |
| 368s | also as opposed to many other designs |
| 370s | competing for the same title |
| 372s | these mbts do not sacrifice any of their |
| 376s | mobility for armor |
| 379s | if you want to play on a well-protected |
| 381s | mbt |
| 382s | these two are definitely your best |
| 385s | choices |
| 389s | every tank that made it on the list is |
| 392s | well defended against the guns of its |
| 394s | contemporaries but you can't stop |
| 397s | progress |
| 398s | engineers are constantly creating new |
| 401s | ways to deal with armor |
| 403s | tandem charge weapons |
| 405s | multi-role missiles and rounds designed |
| 408s | to explode right above the target's thin |
| 411s | roof |
| 411s | all of these pose a serious threat to |
| 414s | even the most well protected mbts |
| 417s | by the way do you like vehicles with |
| 419s | heavy armor or do you prefer lighter |
| 422s | vehicles |
| 424s | and did we mention any of your favorites |
| 427s | please come on guys tell us in the |
| 429s | comments below we're waiting to hear |
| 432s | from you |
