  • What is a tank? It might seem like a very simple question. But it’s not an easy one to answer. To realize how big the problem is, take a look at an encyclopedia. It will say something like “a tank is an armored fighting vehicle, typically tracked, and carrying a cannon as main armament.” This description is very loose. Since there’s no ready answer, we’ll have to find it for ourselves. Let’s see what tanks were designed to do in the past, and how their role has evolved since.

      Imagine living in the times they still used horses and horse buggies as the only way of transportation besides a steam train. And looking over the trenches to charge the enemy only to notice they have captured your friendly tanks and are using them against you, and planes and armored cars. Vehicles and technology you never think would exist because your life is just farming and trying to survive the gruesome world of the 1900s. Time was rough back then we didn't have the medicine or technology of anything we have today. All we had was 49 states cabins and farming tools and muskets and very old horrible prototype bolt action rifles. Ww1 changed the world in so many ways from vehicles to weapons to medicine and plastic surgery and even legal and illegal military weapons/actions. It created the molding that molded todays world. Its both a blessing and a curse.a blessing to us now a curse to those who suffered.

      @InVinCIble gAMinG it was extremely common for soilders to hide and not battle. Most soilders now still hide. Its a reaction of completely paralyzing fear a lot like cornering a dog and a dog catcher putting a net on it. Its frozen until the dog catcher catches it and then its fight or flight. Lots of men were terrified witnessing ww1 because just only 10 years prier the jappo russia war happened and introduced trenches, ww1 also changed how artillery was used they did however use nepolions artillery method but it was found to be to dangerous as the artillery would hit each other and cause rhem to fight without artillery or machine guns which at that stage in thw war was extremely dangerous due to mud jamming guns.
      So alot of men would talk about it... If shell shock didn't set in, alot were horrified to tbe point of it others were shooken until it happened. So men knowing the dangers were very horrified and their own commanders shot them if they didn't charge or disserted.
      I think ww1 is the most horrific war. So much history, so many gruesome stories, so many lost lives, so many lost stories that may never be revealed or will be revealed bur not believed by anyone, so many controversies, so many inventions truely confusing on if it was even worth it. Was ww1 worth creating cars, planes, modern boats, (American civil war was 30 years before and they still had old english style boats the pirate kind,) and even helicopters? (Prototyped during ww1 by Germany and again by germany in ww2 but thia one actually worked and was mass produced sorta and was used in ww2 as a transport vehicle. It was prototyped from ww1 to ww2.) Knowing what i know about ww1 which is alot but still not everything, i dont think the war was worth it maybe it would have been better to arrest the assassin and put him in a military style prison for the offense. But back tben things like that was new. Guns were evolving to the point they turned more dangerous and caused damgeer to the public more and ww1 made rhat situation much worse by making machine guns the most popular choice in todays world. This could also be fixed by selling the public modern muskets. Cant have gun threats if the guns take forever to reload while the military and police have better weapons. Making bad stuff simply just disappear

    To expand a bit: Panzer IV Lang was the so-called " F2". In actuality, these came about as they were finishing the F serie run of production. Krupp upgraded the last F serie examples to the "G" ausf. Pz IV ausf D was not the uparmored, upgunned, version that saw wisdespread service, though a D might've been the trials vehicle for the project.

    That was an awesome documentary, I loved it in all ways. Just wondering, why such information as thickness of armour in hangar cannot be used in the game itself? I mean now we only have a table that says how thick turret or the hull is, but that is definitely not enough details. You can get more info from fan crated websites about vehicle's armour than from the game itself.

    A tank is an armored vehicle that moves on tracks and has a cannon as a main weapon in a turret as well as a coaxial machine gun to fight infantry. An infantry fighting vehicle is an armored vehicle made to fight infantry. An armored car is... Well, an armored car. A self-propelled gun is an armored vehicle that moves on tracks and has at least 1 gun mounted in the hull or a howitzer mounted in a turret. A howitzer is a large artillery gun with wheels to move the thing and often a thin piece of metal to protect its operators from shrapnel.

    a small tank can disable a larger one if it aims of shoots at the turret or destroys the gun?

    Ive always wanted to see if they would make a mode called "WW1" In that we would use WW 1 tanks. Ive always wanted something like this and now i see it as a possibility. I really do wonder if wargaming will see this comment.

      To be fair, in the defense of BF1, the NORMAL speed of a tank would mean the match was OVER before it got anywhere. So, it's a matter of FUN over REALISM.
