Early Access: Turret Pop: NOT the Autoloader (Patreon)

maxresdefault.jpg

Is the autoloader in Russian/Soviet tanks really the reason for the "turret pop" and other issues? I don't think so, so I asked Nicholas "The Chieftain" Moran. This question was inspired by a comment on some of my videos: “I think the biggest problem of russian [sic!] tanks are the circle autoloader and the lack of blow out pannels [sic!].” Cover: Enno Lenze, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ukraine_2022_russian_t72_blown_upIMG_8759_(52408638787).jpg Image: Leopard 2A7V Boevaya mashina, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Cover design by vonKickass. »» GET OUR BOOKS «« » Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com » The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com » Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon, see videos early (adfree) - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Zaloga, Steven J.: T-90 Standard Tank: The First Tank of the New Russia.
