+SkullKing11841 You don't know the north german terrain really well :-P

RoninTF2011 Oh damn, it was a typo when I said "Northern", I meant just European Plain. I'll edit it. What do you mean exactly? There can still be hills on a plain.

+SkullKing11841 Just saying that terrain in central europe (germany for that matter, as there would have been a, or even the, main frontline) has really plenty of hills and slopes. A good gun depression helps a lot when trying to maintain a hull down position and still be able to engage. If you tanks can't bring its gun down very far...you have to expose yourself more. My reference to north germany in that regard(sry, didn't make that clear)was because that, and "Fulda gap" where the 2 main routes where a quick deployment of armour would have been an option.

RoninTF2011 I know, the Soviet requirement was that the tanks be low because most of the terrain they would be fighting on is mostly flat and has small rises in the ground so being low makes you a smaller target and opens cover up to you were a taller tank would have it's turret exposed, there is always a trade off.

Lol just commented about that. Then saw this comment

Hm, i thought they were moved with magnets.

Not too useful. It’s pretty obsolete being basically an enlarged T-54/55 with an alright gun. Russia is still using them for some reason though.

my grandpa was a T-54B driver. It was watertight as well, they crossed rivers several times underwater during his draft service

@u bakaThe earlier ones could, but later models couldn't.

Older tanks were still very capable machines as engineers and armor designers around the world did their jobs exceedingly well. We just have much more powerful and capable machines these days due to the frankly insane rate at which tank technology advanced during the Cold War, doesn't make the old tanks useless even if they're obsolete just not effective against modern armor and anti-armor weapons. Essentially if you're a low tech country that needs armor support you'll take whatever you can get and most functional tanks on the market will serve their purpose regardless if they're obsolete. As a wise man once said "a bad tank is better than no tank at all". In a modern context if properly modernized the T-62 would be a capable killer of older tanks (like variants of itself or Chieftains, M60s, Leopard 1s, and older tanks) and more lightly armored vehicles out to serious ranges, possibly greater than 1.5km (which while unimpressive for modern standards is still very useful if you don't have better vehicles). Against modern armor it's unfortunately hopeless from a frontal aspect as modern armor is designed to withstand much more potent threats than the 115mm could ever hope to be and their guns will tear the T-62 apart. Modern NATO tanks being armored to stop the common Russian 125mm and the modern Russian tanks being armored to resist the common NATO 120mm. It can be argued how well these tanks do so as we have little information on modern Russian armor performance against NATO 120mm ammunition save for old Iraqi T-72s which were demolished with ease at ranges out to 2.5km on average and even out to 4.5km at most during the Gulf War. The Abrams and Challenger 2 also proved to be immune to older 125mm ammunition at short range during the Gulf War but ammunition has advanced both severely and rapidly since then on both sides.

They had to be gas tight.

Old tanks are very impressive, even still the M103 still delivers the most kinetic energy to its target than any other tank. This is of course because tanks do not fire giant projectiles now but still cool.

Oh c'mon they are really hard to confuse with each other, and in second case you just bring more firepower.

LargenirGK no, t-64 is much better armoured

@@Chinunit22 I'm sorry what....

So now that we know that the entire Russian military would have been cut apart by even the forces we already had in not Europe but just the border with the USSR at the time how do you feel? I mean to be fair who would have thought that it wasn't optimism but the pure cold knowledge that they knew the Soviet forces didn't really stand a sliver of a chance against the NATO alliance, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not judging you it's just that I'm surprised it took until the war in Ukraine for us all to realize just how shit Russian equipment is, seriously tip of the spear T-80BVMs, T-72B3s and T-90s are getting absolutely shat on by not only modern ATGMs but even Legacy M72 LAWS and RPG-7s not to mention the countless vehicles that have been burned to a crisp by nothing more than Molotov cocktails. Can you imagine if the Russians had actually tried to break through the prepared defenses of the NATO alliance and had nothing better than T-62s!? Like Jesus the poor bastards would have gotten shattered like glass as soon as the TOW missiles started flying, not to mention the sheer absurdity of trying to supply the fuel and food necessary to keep over 10,000 tanks running while relaying on the entirely ineffective Soviet and Russian supply lines, on God bro! It would have been the definition of a one sided stomping by NATO even worse than the Gulf war, like legit bro it would have been such a one-sided fight it would have made saddam's generals look like fucking geniuses for lasting as long as they did.

​@@anarchyandempires5452 Modern day Russia is not USSR, ( and when looking at USSR, it also depends on which era) In the timeframe when USSR did not have anything better than the T62. Nato would not have had Tows yet . Thier best tanks would of been the likes of the M60 for the US, leopard 1 for Germany, and the Uk with thier Centurions. ( and maybe some Chieftains thrown in for the UK if we are talking late 60s, when they were just entering service) Again its this sort of hubris that had nazi germany loose against USSR. thought they would be inept ill supplied pushovers. Turned out once upon a time Quantity was still abel to best quality.

Optimism was at its peak? Its the army. See what strategies Germany had in 1918 or 1944. Optimism goes beyond being retarded.

6:37 that's one damn funky tank crew!

Yup in Ukraine.

🙂

Lunchbox and plasticine animation.

Yep, like in World of Tanks.

tank size rarely matter unless you're in close promity where an inch will make a difference of hitting or grazing. but in longer range skirmishes, which is the more probable scenario, that that extra few inches in turret size will not matter at all because if the enemy misses you, it's going to be by a few hundred feets. and if he hits you, it's not because of your tank's smaller size. not only that, turret height will not matter because shots will be coming towards you at an angle due to trajectory, so it will hit your tank whether you have a short or tall turret.

Except all of those advantages are completely erased by the lack of gun depression. The T-62 and all follow on Soviet MBTs actually have to expose a far greater portion of the tank than any of its western counterparts. This means that an attacking T-62 (or any other Soviet MBT) will be exposed for a far greater period of time before it can get its gun on target.

Israelis destroyed so many T-62 becuse these machines exposed more what stand on the top of the hill than Centurion, M-48 and M-60 s

It's a matter of doctrine and geography Russia will fight on the open European plains if they ever deploy tanks, while america has to worry about defending both it's European and Asian allies thus needs a more versatile tank that can fight in the hills of Korea, the forests of SEA and the plains of Europe, neither design is stupid or bad just made for different situations. The Russian T series tanks will perform much better in open fields while the american tanks can be effective in more types of terrain

Centurion not the celinterion

@Carnivorus The T-62 can defend but honestly in the area like the middle east where it may be hilly more often than between Germany to Russia, it would kind of fail since the M60 and Centurion had great gun depression so those two tanks could easily poke over and only show the strong-ish turrets and easily shoot down, or how the T-62 is more limited in the spots they defend. Though the only reason why the T-62 may be good in attack is just wave tactics, and of course you choose where you attack. Russian's were heavily influenced by WWII and adopted a lot of weapons to match that doctrine. T-62 was relatively cheaper than the other tanks. Crew comfort was a less of a priority. All in all the T-62 is capable but is designed for cheaper use. It can attack and defend and really depends on the commanders. Egypt however during this period, I never studied them, but as most middle eastern armies, commanders are not the best always and they tend to rely on more basic tactics. Though some do break that idea, I am talking majority.

It has crappy gun depression. But it has stabilization and fires very flat trajectory apfsds.

@@box8524 Arab commanders are not used to think for themselves. Initiative is not encouraged. It's all about hierarchy. Israelis on the other way are well organised. And pretty determined.

Gert Madsen The guns on both tanks can cut through each others armor like a hot knife through butter. I'd hate to have to sit in either tank.

Plank Hill true. It must be so horrible inside a tank that is being penetrated with armourpircing wepons.

True - I just like the T-62 thats all.

Yes but they are highly manneurable, hard to break down, have good guns and are easier to hide. When western tank are comperred to soviet, there are often comparred to tanks that are 20 or more years older. If you would be fair - you should compare the T-62 with the M-48 and not the M-60.

+happylatvian i agree with your statement

Yeah, a towed gun is nearly as effective as a tank from a defensive position. And is much cheaper in every regard.

tanks are better for delay and retreat style defenses

@@Graymenn not entirely true. As I mentioned; towed guns are much cheaper. Tanks are only useful where your retreat would be dynamic, but retreat in a tank is slower than advance in a tank. So you expose yourself by retreating, and this is before we factor in the enormous issues with facing artillery, and other combined arms. Tanks in defence were used to advance. To relieve pressure on the line.

While both where in production they where far from fully replaced in all units.

There's a separate film for the T-64 and T-72. It's on youtube but quality is low.

Its got to run a fine line of giving the soldiers real information, but still being positive

M60 has weak side armor, abrams only weak spot is directly behind it

Adam Mendoza Isn't that supposed to be all tank weaknesses?

M1s get knocked out from all directions with modern anti-tank handhelds (Iraq, Yemen). Just not when the US use them, as they have superior tactics,infrantry shielding them and CAS.

+Andal8811 The M1s you're referring to are M1A1SE1-2 tanks. They're the Saudi export versions, which have the same equipment as the American M1A2 but without the Chobham armor the American tanks have applied. It has a steel + Depleted Uranium mix armor. Doesn't mean the American version is invincible, tho.

Still any tank is worthless without proper tactics and secured flanks. A child can blow it up if it gets close enough.

I actually posted a link to this video on War Thunder's Facebook page in reply to their post announcing the launch of v1.61. Hopefully that will generate more attention to it and prove useful to players encountering this tank in the game.

Chris Teet it may but i dont think it wont. Gajin doesnt simulate the exact chatercists of the T62. IE the gunner can track targets through his sight during reload, gun doesnt elevate, and the turret is movable during reload. so it doesnt have any of the flaws a real t62 would have save for a longer reload rate. . Now i dont think its in any way OP, but because of this its just better in game that it was IRL or how its represented in a Sim like Steel Armor blaze of war, therefore a m60 tanker would be able to exploit these, which he can in WT due to how the T62 was implemented. even from an aesthetics perspective, you dont see the T62s back turret door open and eject spent cases, which is a bit disappointing.

Yes. This is the way it always works. Shooting at a static target, without any pressure, that is not filled with humans, on a range you've driven before yields better results than not knowing where the target is, what it's doing, who it is, what it is, whether it's shooting back etc.
