Tank Hunting on A Budget | NM-116 Panserjager Norwegian Chaffee Upgrade 🇳🇴

Constructive criticism on the video would be appreciated it's my first one for the channel :3

Ah the classic “Just slap bigger gun if old gun isn’t good” way of thinking births very fun vehicles.

Woooh! my "something about Norwegians" alert went off. Thank you for this

This seems like a logical upgrade... had to be cheaper then buying a new M60 or old M46/48

People underestimate small lightly armored tanks. They are only small and lightly armored for a tank. Are you laughing at my Chaffee? We have a word for people who laugh at my Chaffee, we call them pedestrians.

The low pressure gun makes sense, an upgraded punch with limited range, but with Norwegian terrain it can easily be put to good use despite its limited range, it is nothing like the open steppes of eastern Europe for example. At best you would have a few long range engagements in eastern Norway where some of the only flat land in Norway is, and despite how much we like teasing our neighbor Sweden I don't think they are likely to take is so badly they would have invaded.

I really love seeing older vehicles modernized with advanced technologies. I hope this tank will be added in the Swedish tree in WT sometime.

The NM-116 is such a beautiful design that, coupled with the recovery variant, really highlighted what could've been done with the venerable Chaffee...instead, we tended to just see them get sold away or replaced with larger and more expensive vehicles. That low-velocity, 90mm proved itself, at least decently, against Soviet tanks in Africa, and while the NM116 may have been more of a tank destroyer, a combination of a vehicle like that and something like M113s could've made for a light mechanized unit on a budget. Shame... (take my like for 1k 👍)

Very cool to see some of my NM-116 Walkaround pictures in the video. This is exactly why I took them 👍

Excellent video you covered a lot considering the length but I especially appreciated the feedback of the Norwegian commander who gave good insight and importance of tactics to overcome and compete with more powerful tanks.

It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it. A good example of getting maximum use out of an aging asset. I'm sure they would have done good service if called on to do so.

I demand the Norwegian Chaffee to be added to War Thunder.

So, pretty much a Tank destroyer gun on Chaffee hull. Pretty nifty btw

Good vid, Tony did good and pronounced the Norwegian words well. The tank you see in vaman's vid and Rogalands Krigshistoriske Museum's tank is the samme vehicle. It is also on loan from the Defence museum (Forsvars museet). This vehicle currently in storage and for the time being not available to the public.

im lucky to have actually seen one irl

Really nice tank....👍

Norway is cool, especialy in winter 🥶

You shlt try and look on the Danish rebuild of the M41 to DK1 that is a story perfect for YT

Oh, i didn't realized this tank was powered by a Detroit Diesel "Screaming Jimmy"...

NORWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
