When that thing started up every tanker in the Bundeswehr suddenly had an unexplained sense of dread.
Actuallt, M-12 Rapira is much later production smooth bore cannon.
The same gun, D-10 was used in BS-3 antitank gun, a predecessor of Rapira.
After watching these videos (this and on the T-34), I have grown to despise the Christie suspension and it's incredibly intrusive shock towers. I used to think it was great. I was wrong.
The rapira at gun was totally different than the d-10
The tank driving around outside of the hatch at 1:59: Hello there
i played this tank in Combat MIssion : Barbarossa to Berlin. and was very happy with its modelled performance.
Panzer killer
Would love to see a Nashorn, Panzerwerfer sws, Stug IV and Ferdinand's, Brummbar's and a Hummel. Also the Katyusha and the SPA tractor 203mm BMA (Soviet). Whenever you can Chieftain, love your work.
I would like to be a gunner on any tank
One of my favorites! The Su 85 was good allready and with this one, the german's cats reign come to an end… And they let you drive it! Awesome job!
I suspect that the commander spent most of his time standing through his hatch.
At least it's super silent
Thanks for those great vids, keep em up
Great to see it actually driven!
I think the old man has a cold. And he's probably vary cold.
the Germans in early '45 came up with the JagdPzIV L70 Neu Art with the Panther's 75mm L70 cannon [an amazingly powerful AP gun] and I gotta admit, it looks VERY similar to the SU100.
The JPzIV L70 NA was much more roomier [possibly because of the 75mm cannon?] and could also carry about 100 rounds of ammunition. What a shame there was never enough fuel for the vehicles?
I think the SU100 had much better frontal armour and the profile of JPzIV L70 NA was much higher but it had the rounded 'saurkopf'[?] mantlet and the frontal boxlike shape which is what reminded me of the JPzIV L70. I don't think the Germans built more than 200 before the war was over but it some useful abilities like the MG34 fired from inside w a full 360 arc and it had a short range small 'mortar' that usually was used for signalling but also could fire HE for use against Allied Infantry.
It's in the Saumur Museum and you can clearly see where it was hit as the face-hardened armour is very brittle and there is a large crack from where an AP round penetrated.
Please re-release this series w/o the annoyingly repetitive music. Please!!
the guy doing the talking is on drugs ?? he's eyes are so weird.
This was a fantastic video! But the music!!? I had to stop.. lose the horrid soundtrack
Great tank, sleeps 4, 5 at a push….
Wasn't the Rapira Towed AT gun a 100mm Smoothbore?
If he somehow managed to crash that would be hilarious
Hi this is the 100th comment
Judging by this it seems quite far fetched to put a 122mm on this tank destroyer… But I guess wot isn't supposed to be realistic eh?
Nick, Thanks for the segment. You looked like you could have used a big cup of hot coffee!!
Long trip?
Best TD that saw service in WW2..?
like your vids but not the TOO LOUD music.
When he got it moving the whole "it's alive" scene from ace venture came to mind XD
no one said tank crew had it easy, during the war they specifically picked only short guys for tank crews.
I've seen you review several vehicles now but don't recall seeing you actually drive anything other than Soviet or Russian vehicles. To me that speaks volumes…..
yes a tank killer,just like the earlier su-76 , 76mm gun on a t-70 chassis, though fighting compartment fully exposed
So the SU-100 has a 100 mm gun? Surprise surprise!
Why iNside thé tank , aller is white , did they paint it ?
He said it can store 33 rounds? I thought it was 32 and one in the cannon?
Where are those tanks? A Museum?
I'd HATE to be the commander in that….slip a little bit in combat, and you'll be spread all over the inside of the vehicle by your own gun shudder
An IS-3 would be just awesome to see the insides of.
T-62
The SU-100 is an SPG?
Can you do an episode on the AMX 13?
I want to see a Stug 3
Can someone explain how the gun gets the shell to move?
