The Most Brutal Beast of German Warfare

Cringeworthy narrating

german spirit: do nothing for decades and then do it without compromise.

I’ve always thought Rheinmetall is a really badass name for a defense heavy industry company. As in make it “rain metal” over your enemies 😬

But does it have parking sensors?😅

Cant wait till the Tiger name makes a comeback too

well I hope its not to overengineered that the people using it needs 3 years of training to actually use it. There is always the problem with new technology being awesome on the paper, while in reality is just to complicated to use on the go, which needs alot of training and time to learn. For example I just bought a VR Headset, while easy to use its harder than I thought to master it, I keep on dropping stuff because I am not used to grab stuff actively in video games. Its a nice feature that needs depending on the person alot of training.
But its still great seeing development of new Battle Tanks. Because yes we still need them even though its easier to use drones these days.

It was not ordered by the German Government. They developed it on their own.

"chassy"

Careful, make no claims that this will be a real addition to the German army. It was JUST a technology demonstrator on the EuroSatori. It hasn't even been given the go-ahead for testing by the Bundeswehr yet, much less funding.
Next, this is what it is supposed to do. How it will actually fare in combat, either simulated or real, has to be seen. Every new development has its birthing problems; so will this project.
Note: I am not claiming that this is a failure. I am simply saying to curb the expecations. History has shown that even very promising projects have been cut due to funding or intrinsic problems.
Let's wait and see.
However, I would support Rheinmetall's plans to build a factory for these tanks in the Ukraine. That would probably be the best real life advertisement the company could have should the product hold what all the reports promise it should be able to do.

I'm just gonna wait till it's get leaked on WarThunder Forum

to say "too late" would be the most understatement of etirnety...

Guys, the Leopard is from.the 80'. So , calm dawn we need a new one without any thoughts to conquer the world.... All good zzh zzh calm 😂😂😂

German Military just announced They will Order The new Leopard 2A8 instead of The Panther.

German tanks turret always looks so stable in high speed, compared to Soviet tanks

Alright Gaijin where's that War Thunder update

120mm effective enough with uranium depleted shells

Spam

As with the original Panther, an under the chin shot will be deflected down into the
crew compartment.

We know only the Data Rheinmetall released, so far imo this is just a Blender. A Hull, a Turret in Digital Camo Pattern.

I think that the Kettenfahrzeug 51 is the actually the best available tank. In WW2 the Panther was very effective and now it's also! Greetings from Germany!

Z👌👌

Germany: We have a new tank.

Nato: What is it?

Germany: we call it a Panther.

Nato: Oh God cool!

USA: Oh god not again…

This one sits on tracks properly. Top half and bottom half matched weight-volume.

PERFECT.💋❤💛💙

That turret has a HUGE gaping shelf wherein any explosive can rip the turret off and send it sky high.

Looks nice buy it is not yet battle-tested. Send it to Ukraine to see how it does against Russia's latest tanks and against ATGM Kornet

The Ketten 51 is a Great Tank. Thed 51 along with the US M1-A3 and British Challenger 2 would incinerate anything Russia Puts in the Field. Since Desert Storm, ALL WESTERN TANKS to speak of have been Up-Graded - Modernized to M1-A1/A2 Abrams and Beyond. Russian T-62, 72, 80 & 90 were all destroyed by Ukrainians. Is Boris's T-14 just a futile attempt to recover from embarrassment? OR should we be saying, I wonder what they 'Pilfered' from Western Tech Now?

Amazing

A Toyota full of Ukrainian drone operators is way cheaper.

Ha, the way Germany is now... with how woke they are... just a matter of time until they march on all white heterosexual men.

Now all they need to do is start getting some of their old territories back. Right?

As they enter a recession 😅

Send it to the Nazi regime in Kiev, im sure itll look like an ashtray, soon enough... 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

What's transformative here is the drone operator position coupled with the speed and all terrain nature of the platform.

The logical extension of these capabilities is to lose the turret and shift the vehicle to an armored self propelled artillery system, without losing speed or all-terrain capability. The mass-savings of losing the turret would be made up with a longer range gun, and an expanded drone bay capable of launching multiple drones and landing them. The result would be a hyper agile artillery system
that carries along its own artilery spotters in the form of drones dynamically launched and retrieved in situ. It wouldn't need the turret because it would be designed to operated at longer ranges from the enemy in a chaotic battlefield without fixed lines. The mission profile would be a mechanized-cavalry-gun that can sprint behind enemy positions to engage their rear supply areas at range and then retreat faster than any responses. If it did find itself in close quarter combat with enemy forces it would rely upon the heavier machine gun and smart munitions, analogous to the switchblade drone, launched from the main gun that could target opponents despite the fact that they were not launched in the correct direction from the turret-less gun.

soon as vehicles are remote controlled we will blow the track off of it.

Yea that gun is beast i love the dron operator too

Send it to Ukraine and we can see how it performs!!!!!

2x drones ($5,000) attacking at the same time will defeat ANY tank, including this one. Tanks are a relic of a different era of warfare, with Javelins and Drones taking over the modern battlefield. Its a beautiful horse & buggy in the automobile era...

Ah yes the 59 ton “light weight tank”……

Thats a sexy machine right there. Love the whole design. And its a 130!!! Bet rhat will punch through some shii.

hahaha Please send it to Ukraine to Leopard square hahaha Panther again haha

Would be afraid to ride in one because everyone will be excited to kill the fancy new tank so they can make propaganda videos claiming it's not good.

Send it to Ukraine and find out how quickly it weill burn.. Like the paper tiger it is. The Tank is almost obsolete.
Western technology is poor but strong in Bullshit.

I love it! Panther!!!

Look I'm all for high tech but the more bells and whistles you put in the more hassle it is to fix. All digital viewing makes me think that if you take out the lights/eyes its just an expensive coffin

"Brutal Beast"..... Uhm....Maybe. We don't know yet. Time will tell.
My personal opinion is, that 'the tank' in general, is not obsolete yet. But i also think that once this new design has been worked out to a full blown fighting machine, it will certainly have a future. I hope so.

Is 59 tons considered lightweight?
