My take on this is that it comes down to so many soft factors like crew training, doctrines, maintenence, who sees first and shoots first, etc. It is entertaining to compare tank hard stats, but it is more important to examine all the contexts of the engagement
-
M48 Patton vs Centurion in the Indo-Pakistan War 1965.
-
This was an excellent Debut for Paul, and a new format. I’ve always enjoyed the "Old Guard". Looking forward to seeing more of the "New" in the future

Hey Tank Nuts! We hope you enjoyed our latest video, what Tank V Tank video do you want to see next? Let us know below.
-
the chieftain engine may have been a stinker but the sound it makes is epic , this conflict is also covered in another game called steel armor blaze of war , except instead of playing as a chieftain you get to play in an m60 ( for some reason )
-
Do Yom Kippur next. Centurions\Pattons V T-55\T-62.

I feel very positive about seeing a younger face on the Tank Chats. It was a great talk with more about practical tank doctrine and real world experience in a more recent conflict. I remember having a similar chat with a young mechanic beside a Tiger at the museum a few years ago. That was superb, connecting the museum and collection with a younger audience. Please do more like this.

Great idea for a new series. Also love Paul’s presentation - he’s a natural. Look forward to seeing more of these.

My father was a company commander during that specific battle and MIA

It always boils down to one thing, and one thing only, which tank has the best crew.
-
Great video thanks! I wish there was more stuff out there covering the Iran-Iraq War, I'm amazed how overlooked it's been.
-
Thank you for producing this. For one of the largest conflicts during the 2nd half of the 20th century, there is a rather sparse content about the Iran-Iraq war on sites like YouTube.

>230mm >thinner than the Western main battle tanks wtf are you talking about? Competence level of this channel is astonishing.
-
I would not say that chieftains performed poorly. They were driven thru soft ground into ambush possition into close quaters fight. Thats death sentence for any tank
-
Great stuff really enjoyed it 👍 Thanks Paul keep the videos coming Maybe a video on the Falklands War and the Scorpions and Scimitars used there
-
