    Other Random French Engineer: Yeah, what about it?
    Random French Engineer: Let's make it move...

    Simon: “Don’t use infantry to attack tanks.”

    Actual military doctrine: Support your tanks with lots of infantry to protect them from enemy infantry.
  • @lds2484
    Tanks are actually quite vulnerable to infantry, which is why they're usually not deployed into urban areas and are usually supported by their own infantry whenever possible.
  • Simon: "Don't use infantry to assault a tank"
    The Finnish in 1940: "So, anyway, we just sent in the infantry and destroyed all their tanks"
  • @mrtrailesafety
    Given the crew size, I’m surprised there wasnt a sous-chef.
  • @cpob2013
    "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battlestation"
  • @paradox7358
    Waiting for a video on the greatest tank ever built. The legendary Bob Semple.

    "Don't use infantry to assault a tank"

    Trained Infanteer here. Absolutely use infantry to assault a tank. So long as you equip them to do the job!
  • Oddly enough infantry is the biggest threat to Armor. That's why the Saudis keep losing Abrams MBTs, and why urban warfare is so deadly for tanks and IFVs.

    12:00 "Don't use infantry to assault a tank"

    Korean War
    PLA: "What I'm gonna do is called a pro gamer move"
  • @ARIXANDRE
    One of the coolest behemoths in Battlefield 1.
  • @redneckgaijin
    "Don't use infantry to assault a tank!" - Um, unsupported armor is INCREDIBLY vulnerable to infantry with any kind of anti-tank weapon.
  • 9:20 Don't worry about HP these engines were massive, didnt have huge "RPM" power but stupid amount of torque ! No need to go fast, it needs to move !
  • @okamizer0387
    11:48 Infantry is actually surprisingly effective against tanks, especially in tight urban areas
  • @kmech3rd
    Sorry, but I always enjoy a good French joke, even if not entirely fair. Seems like there are always three ways to do something... The Right way, the Wrong way, and the French way.
  • Hey Simon, it's Torque, not Horse Power you want to be acknowledging when addressing the drive train capabilities of this beast.

    "Don't use infantry to assault tanks"

    RPG-7, Carl Gustav recoilless rifle, FGM-148 Javelin and 9M133 Kornet: "We would like to introduce ourselves".
  • @jacksone5856
    Its like that movie, Death Race. Just really really slow. Almost stationary if you dont pay attention.
  • 12:00 Antitank missiles, Simon. The Javelin system is usually operated by a two-man team. You should make a Side Projects video about it.
