Check out the awesome video below: guys are reviving the ISU-152 found in Chernigov region (Ukraine) and launching its almost 70-year-old engine.
The VO is Russian, but one can some understanding from the footage itself.

DeleteCool, haven't seen that.
DeleteI saw this yesterday, great video. It was sad to see when they damaged the gun...
ReplyDeleteWhy did they do that? To disable it because of regulations/laws? I highly doubt that any sane person would try to fire from such an old gun :)
Deletesure regulations but they can be lucky it isnt in germany.
Deletethere you also have to cut big holes into the hull in certain spots, for example where the driver sits. You can then again weld them shut with very thin sheet of metal; its so that in case some decides to go berserk with his new toy, they can still disable him easily.
Why are you nerfing the T30? O.o
ReplyDeleteIts already a really bad tank and you even want to make it worse?
Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteSo will all russian tanks get 1000% durability buff on all modules now?
Considering this adjustment.
Deletehahha love sarcastic OL :D
DeleteRussian bias!
ReplyDeleteHey... who needs eyeprotection...
ReplyDeleteeyes are overrated anyway
DeleteHm.... I can't help to wonder why no one thought of drivign it sooner, or why the hell was it abandoned in the first place :P
ReplyDeleteI saw this video on eu forums, and this is very awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is the true power of russian tanks. They can be repaired with a handfull of tools anywhere from any condition.
I saw another older video where a T-34 was pulled out from the bottom of a lake and after some cleaning the engine started.
Well you can hear the differences of engines sound here too. I would be glad if unique engine sounds would be implemented for every tank.
There are lots of tank fests, and there are some famous tank collectors who could be visited by WG just to record some samples to improve the game sounds.
And ofc there is youtube also. :)
Absolutely splendid video! Many thanks Overlord.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well, it would be excellent if we could have realistic engine sounds in game.
It should have a bumper sticker that reads, "We lost the cold war and this is all we have to show for it."
ReplyDeleteIn the Cold War have lost everything, including Americans. They have 20 years in a row falling salaries and education.
DeleteI hit a sensitive spot I see. Just proves my point I guess.
DeleteAbout education, I came to the point.
DeleteIn the light of this video, new sounds of 8.0 are even more horrible. :)
ReplyDeletenew sounds are awesome, clean your ears
DeleteYeah, new sounds are awesome if you are a Super Mario or Hello Kitty online fan.
Deleteagain, clean your ears
DeleteI can't believe that they managed to make it run. After 70 years! I mean if somebody is at least a little technical he will be amazed. Just imagine that it's difficult to run modern day engine after a year of non usage or even less and this thing was rusting for that long. All rubber parts (If there were any) gone, oil no longer oil after that long time, parts stuck solid together, etc. but it still runs after some basic maintenence.
ReplyDeleteThe machine can be 70 years old, but there is not evidence that is wasn't running or getting serviced for the same amount of time (maybe it was sitting there only for a few decades). Nice video anyway.
DeleteIt surely was serviced at some point, because the gun was made not worthy for combat as the law requires, but anyway nice video and the tank could have been there for a long period of time anyway.
DeleteGun nerfed :)
ReplyDeleteOverlord, a M3 Grant is more robust
ReplyDeleteCheck this video

M3 GRant, used as Testtarget, standed over 20 Year in the british rain, and he still drives (with a "new" old engine)
:P
