The Tiger and Panther had wide tracks and powerful engines that should, at least in theory, have given them good performance in heavy mud and other difficult terrain. I look at whether or not this was actually the case in my latest video. youtu.be/VaU4S9L8bW4

In Nov. 1942 this junction would have been a sight to behold as Britain's two largest and heaviest tanks worked together. TOG-1A's hydraulic steering gear failed doing a pivot turn and TOG-2 was called to the rescue, towing 1A back to the workshop for repairs. #WW2 #tanks

The tank evolved into the T-18 (MS-1), the first original tank mass produced in the USSR. Between 1927 and 1931 almost 1000 tanks of this type were built. #tanks #history
A laundry list of desired improvements was composed after mobility trials of the T-16 tank in early March of 1927. Follow-up trials were scheduled #OTD in the same year, but it was already clear that the tank was going to be a success. #tanks #history

Even though production began in April of 1945, Germany surrendered before any tanks reached the front lines. The IS-3 was shown to the world only during the Victory Parade in Berlin held on September 7th, 1945. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The IS-3 tank was accepted into service #OTD in 1945. This tank offered radically improved protection over its predecessor without increasing the weight. It was now nearly invulnerable to not only the German 88 mm Pak 43, but also its own 122 mm gun. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Standardization of the M26 didn't mean that it was perfect. #OTD in 1945 the Ordnance Committee approved the design of the T26E5 with thicker armor and increased the size of the pilot batch to 27 units. The "Heavy Pershing" ultimately proved unnecessary #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Heavy Tank T26E3 was standardized #OTD in 1945 as the Heavy Tank M26 or General Pershing. The Pershing's weight class was bumped back down to a medium tank less than a year later. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
After factory trials were completed, the IS-2 (#234) tank was presented to the government #OTD in 1943. Mobility trials began on the same day. By this point it was clear that the tank would not make it into production and a high velocity gun was needed. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The SU-85B SPG began trials #OTD in 1945. The SU-85B combined the SU-76M SPG chassis and a new 85 mm gun with the same ballistics as the one used on the T-34-85 tank. Since the war came to an end, this upgrade turned out to be unnecessary. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1940 factory #185 tried to adapt its T-100Z tank for the Navy under the name Special Project 103. A 130 mm naval gun was used instead of a 152 mm howitzer. Unlike the T-100Z, only a model was ever built. #tanks #history
Automatic submerged arc welding widely used at factory #183 created high quality weld seams and didn't require skilled labour. #OTD in 1943 the NKTP arranged a conference to share their experience with this method with other factories. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Timelines for a refresh of the Red Army's heavy tanks were set #OTD in 1941. The KV-3 would be put into service that year. Prototypes of the KV-4 and KV-5 would also be delivered, and trials held in 1942 would decide which would be accepted into service #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Red Army tested special winter track extensions #OTD in 1942. They let even light tanks traverse deep snow banks, but reduced the tank's speed and broke easily when the tanks drove over obstacles. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
An improved T-60 tank with a high velocity 37 mm ZIS-19 gun in an enlarged turret was delivered for trials #OTD in 1942. Unfortunately, the T-70 already featured a better gun and other improvements, so the new T-60 was not needed. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Germans had a large variety of potential successors to the Pz.Kpfw.II tank in early stages of testing by the start of 1942. #OTD in 1942 the Heereswaffenamt lots its patience and many unnecessary or duplicate projects were closed. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Char D2 was a cheaper and lighter alternative to the Char B. Production of the first batch began in 1936 but it took until #OTD in 1940 to start on the second batch, as the army held out for the more promising but ultimately unsuccessful Char G. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
