Gav & Dan are at a tank range using the latest and greatest in projectile tracking technology. Combined with the Phantom cameras, they get some absolutely surreal looking footage.

    "Thankfully, there's nothing out there". Camper: "Where'd my tent go?"

    Seeing the visible shockwave is so intense. Ballistics are amazing

    War Thunder Players: "We shall now start layering our tanks in watermelons to deflect the enemies shells."

    I love Dan's reaction at 14:22 he's genuinely speechless but you can clearly see what he's thinking. "Duuude, did you see that? That thing went off course".

    That shell tracking is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
  • @SamLee-tm6jn
    Easily THE BEST footage of a shockwave I have ever seen. HANDS DOWN.
  • I'm a VFX artist and I find your channel most helpful when looking for reference on every other project. Thank you very much for making my job easier

    So glad I was warned about the product placement here. Otherwise I think I may have been unduly influenced into buying a Sherman tank over its competitors! This way, I can keep my tank research neutral, looking only at the specs of each tank rather than relying on the emotional attachment this video may have produced

    they've come a long way, from slapping each other in the face to firing a tank
  • @PhlyDaily
    all my dreams have come true tank you slow mo guys, love the banter as well o7
  • The line "Today, we're in Uvalde" while riding a tank hits a little different now.

    you can calculate the amount of kinetic energy from the intensity of dan's gasps

    Ways to change your hairstyle/haircut: 1. Combing 2. Using hair gel/wax 3. Firing a tank

    An acute angled ricochet of a normal bullet is scary. An acute angled ricochet of an artillery round is...."scary beyond all reason".

    I was 16 yrs old and deer hunting with my father. It was raining and it was almost ready to snow. The drops of rain were like a fine mist. A nice buck stepped out an I fired first followed by dad's shot. I swear it was like traced from the tip of the barrel to impact. Each drop of rain exploded as the bullet traveled through the air. It was awesome! Thought I would share cause that was 50 yrs ago.
  • Imagine that one photon that came out the sun, travelled 8 minutes, came into the earths atmosphere, hit a wwII tanks' shell flying through the air, bounced off, hit a spinning mirror, went into the camera lens, and was absorbed by the sensor which was only open for about 1/57,000 of a second because of the camera's shutter

    I watched this when it first came out and have come back to re-watch it a dozen or so times since and it gets better every single time. Absolutely amazing footage. Well done Gavin and Daniel.
