Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
This time we’ve managed to make quite an unusual video.
Even if you are not keen on tanks, I think this video may be interesting for you.
But if you like tanks this material is definitely for you.
So get comfortable my friends its high time to begin, lets go!
Firstly I would like to share with you the idea of the project.
The idea is simple and genius – tank battles.
A real ones!
With real maneuvering on the almost real homemade tanks.
And the tanks are certainly the base of he project.
And they are far not so simple as they may seem.
This tanks were designed specially for the project and there are unique engineering solutions
in their construction.
We’ve already made for tanks and are going to produce more.
Certainly except tanks there are numerous other things that were done here.
The weapon system and safety rules, the special ground for the project and other stuff.
And now I am going to share with you the main things – we’ll speak about the core of
the project.
Lets look closer at the tank.
There is two cylinders engine 24 hp in the rear of the body.
The steering and transmission are full hydraulic.
The engine drives the pump that drives the hydraulic motors that rotate the tracks.
The tracks are taken from a snowmobile.
The door consists of two parts lower and upper one like a lambo door.
Then we see one sit.
In the tank one person is both a driver and a gunman.
But how can he manage to do all the things?
And he manages due to the curious solution.
The point is that you need only your legs to handle the whole tank.
There is a full pedal steering.
Then we see here a gun, brakes, rear view display and the radio.
Besides there is a handle that adjusts the throttle.
Well lets try how it works in practice!
Its quite tight and dark inside besides the field of view is limited.
So there is every reason to feel oneself like in a real tank.
And now I will try to move.
The hydraulic steering is really awesome my friends.
I’ve never tried something like this before.
It’s a really intuitive steering.
It takes just few minutes to get the hang of it.
Its only your legs that you need to handle the tank, your hands are absolutely free.
But there are enough other tasks for your hands.
Mainly its shooting.
But how does actually the steering work?
As you’ve seen there are two pedals.
One pedal for one track.
When the both pedals are in the neutral position the tank stands still.
The more we push the pedal forward the faster rotates the according track.
When we push the pedal backward we have a reverse.
So if we push the pedals in the opposite direction, the tank turns around in the spot.
Now lets find out what we have here about the shooting.
Now you see the main gun of the tank.
Its an airsoft weapon.
It is installed in the gun place of the tank.
These are the ammo with colored gypsum.
You have only six shells for the whole game.
Now you see how the gun is reloading.
The driver is aiming the gun through the front screen by maneuvering of the tank.
Now I would like to test the gun.
Well it seems to be quite powerful.
The maximum shooting distance is 160 meters.
But in practice the effective distance is about 30 meters.
Due to the coloured gypsum it is so easy to see if you hit the target.
When you hit there is a bright color cloud its hard to miss it.
And after the battle you can find out the score by the marks of gypsum on a body of
a tank.
And its high time to arrange the battle between our tanks isn’t it?
Now we have four battle tanks.
But we want to make more of them to enlarge the scale of our game.
But now we will have two teams with two tanks and the will fight against each other.
Lets take our positions on the ground!
First of all I want to mention if it is your first time don’t even try to make a plan
of the battle.
We tried to make a complicated plan with mock attack, and ambush, but the practice turned
out absolutely different.
As soon as the battle starts you are under a huge press of emotions and you immediately
forget any plan.
When you see through the front screen the opponents tank aiming at you, only thing you
are thinking about how to survive the shot.
Meantime I’ve spotted a hostile tank and he also sees me.
My shot is first but I missed just slightly touched its armor.
Reloading.
At the moment the opponent tanks hits me.
And I haven’t noticed another tank from the left and he also hits me!
I am trying to shoot back but it is no use I miss again.
Two previous hits slightly stunned me and I am backing up trying to get out from fire.
Well and the result of the fight is definitely not in my favour.
If you need to have some rest between the battles you may relax and have fun with awesome
RC-models.
They are large models made of metal with the system of numerous sensors that allows to
shoot each other like in the real battle.
It’s a lot of fun but its absolutely not comparable with real fight.
Do you want to have it again?
This time I meet the opponent tanks at the same place.
We see how my ally shoot the opponent and take his attention from me.
It’s a good moment for me….but I missed again!
Well a brief reloading, and pushing forward to the rival at the same time.
And finally the great hit!
And one hit more from my ally!
Meantime I am going in another direction trying to spot another hostile tank.
Here he is!
My shot…miss.
The opponent is backing up trying to hide from me behind the tree.
But I manage to foresee his maneuver and meet him with a nice shot!
Well I can tell you about this battles much longer it’s a really emotional process.
I am tried to convey my impressions by this video but its just a fade version of what
we have in real.
I hope this project will evolve bringing more tanks in the process and providing even more
emotions.
And it is time to wrap it up, but please post your comments guys what you think of the project.
Maybe some ideas how to make it better, what rules should be for the fights, how to improve
the tanks and so on.
