Unlike many other German tanks it has a quite negative reputation, which is probably not justified. In this video I take a look at the production history, numbers built, armor, armament, measurements and the very interesting crew layout. See notes on Accuracy & “Methodology” (bottom) for more detailed information. ---Social Media--- facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized tumblr: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryHistoryVis/ ---Sources--- --Books-- Sturmpanzerwagen A7V – Vom Urpanzer zum Kampfpanzer Leopard 2 – Ein Beitrag zur Militär- und Technikgeschichte. --Websites & Links-- Tank Museum Video on the A7V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztkKJUQB4rU Beware of Wikipedia articles, I corrected some values already, but I guess there may still some errors left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A7V http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww1/gb/tank_MkV.php ---Credits & Special Thanks--- The Counter-Design is heavily inspired by Black ICE Mod for the game Hearts of Iron 3 by Paradox Interactive https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/blackice.467/ ---Song---- Ethan Meixsell - Demilitarized Zone (the Irony :D) ---Notes on Accuracy & “Methodology”--- I used the tank encylclopdia articles for references values on the Mark V tanks armour. Due to several errors in the Wikipedia articles of the A7V, encountered and corrected several errors on the A7V values.
