Did the American army actually use the British - developed flail tank concept extensively?

@ 1:39 not a flame tank , M48A3 tank with a90mm gun.

You are absolutely amazing! I thoroughly enjoy learning about all this history that I never found on my own! Thank you for sharing your amazing work and keeping history alive! 😎👍

Interesting

I see no tracks. I see no tank.

I am a Japanese military enthusiast. I remember seeing an article about this in "Tamiya News" published by Tamiya in the 1970s. There was an article about the development history of the flail-type vehicle in "Tank Magazine" published in Japan. However, I saw your video for the first time. Thank you for the valuable video.

Leave it to the yanks to overcomplicate any military related problem! 😅

It’s uh, It’s definitely a Vibe Incredible History This sound’s like a prime example of hearsay false History Beautiful photos Good work

I am a WW2 buff and I have never heard of this thanks for sharing!

My grandpa served in the Korean army in the Vietnamese war, he was a general

My dad was an airman in the Air Force, retired as a Technical Sergeant (E-6) in 1998. I would say an E-6 is the backbone of the Air Force and the other branches.

General of the Armies?

I see bag charges? "I Think" 6inch NAVAL GUN adapted and mobile use! COOL!!

Also known as the Long Range Sniper.

You are a bit inaccurate in your description of the M12 155m GMC. It was never referred to as the long tom. It has the old French gun with an improved breach. The Long Tom reference only applied to the 155mm M1 or M1A1 and then later as the M59. The mobile version was the M40 introduced late in WW2 and used extensively in the Korean conflict. The M12 was built on a modified M3 tank chassis, the M40 on a modified M4 tank chassis. The M43 was also produced with the 8in gun, but the 155mm was the preferred version with the US Army.

My father was in a 155mm unit. 173rd Field Artillery Group

The begin of NASA 😂😂😂

What rank is Navy SEAL?

0:20 any background on this photo? Sitting on two grenades seems like a lark or seating thing, while relaxing a bit for rhe day. Yet this fellow looks positively haunted and not having a great time

Hopefully this will be addressed in video, but a full sized double barreled shotgun doesn't strike me as a particularly good choice. I guess I would prefer an MP40 as that at least can be made more compact

USS Constellation CV64 (77-81) was all signed up for commission from E5 to O1 and all the programs were cancelled, got out.

Patton liked to use the 155 like a rifle against reinforced concrete bunkers. He said one shot close to the embrasure was enough to make the occupants flee out the back door.

Like if you came here from battlefield 5

I ranks newbie😢

Almond was my unkel he didnt even tell my grandfather my grandfather found the metal in a box while helping him move he was the best of the best from new york what a pity whats happened to that place today honner our soldiers david i do

tooo start.... its not ur fault ...u r creating what sells....the world is coming to intellectual mediocrity where attention span for any thing academic is rather short... while senseless reels and shorts are the order of the day, good content is shrinking in size and quality...

I’m shocked! I’ve been studying WWII since I retired 12 years ago and this is the first mention and picture of this weapon I’ve ever seen or heard of this! Thank you for reminding me that no one can know everything about a topic!! I’m subscribing! Any channel that teaches me something new is worth subscribing too and hitting the bell!

Probably staff sergeant or sergeant

155mm. lLong Toms and their M40 self-propelled versions also used in Korean War👍👍

My father as a captain had a number of these pieces in his command.

The panther was the best German tank.

LC command fire teams not sections

I'd like to have one on my rooftop. Just for safety reasons ;-)

Who cares?

Indeed. Complicated enough. So muc manual labor at the launch site. No wonder the Saturn V rocket worked so well for NASA, and the US. It a German design from the V2. I guess the US didn’t have the knowledge.

The Long Tom was a great platform. A similar one was used in Vietnam and we had them in Desert Storm, the Mech 155 that is. It is the grand dad to the M777 & the M109 Paladin. Great systems. Good vid!

As a former Redleg I was trained on an m109 self propelled 155 howitzer in Ft .Sill when i got to Germany i was assigned to an m110 8" howitzer battery a monster but the big brains in the Pentagon saw the big picture and removed it from service too bad

Sheer evil.

I know which end of this I'd rather be on! 😁

The mastermind behind the V2 was warcriminal Von Braun. After the war he and his technology moved to Assmerica, wher he continued his work in total freedom. He has never been punished for his crimes.

It's spelled Stuka but pronunciation is Shtuka , not Stuka

Long Tom is still in active services in Taiwanese Army

Let me get this right. The siren is to warn your enemy that you are about to attack. Doesn't make sense.

Sgt is the back bone and I know because just being a cadet and being a sgt was insane 😮 Bro I had to build my own shelter in the rain and snow

Long Tom is still the gold standard.

I think that the guns featured from 1:32 to 1:39 are 8 inch (203 mm) howitzers. Notice the shorter, thicker barrels. They used the same carriage as the 155 mm Long Tom so they are easy to confuse.
