Interesting link, can anyone tell me what type of Russian tank is in this video www.youtube.com/watch

T-34/85

ok, thanks. Seems kinda small, but I dont think I'd want a bunch coming at me lol.

yes i looks to me also a T34-85mm but with slightly other turret on the backsite then my trumpeter doesn't have that bin onto, is that extra weight like by the superpershing to compensate the big gun

That's a stock or standard turret except that they have a small stowage box added. The turret design compensates for the gun weight, same as the M-26. The Super Pershing had a double length gun, so a huge counterweight as well as equiliberator springs had to be added. Israeli M-50 & M-51 Shermans had the same situation with balance when installing the newer guns and added the long counterweights.

That T-34/85 really sounds nice, although the driver makes it seem so simple for driving. T-34s are not easy to drive and it takes a lot of muscle. Note that he remarks staying in one or two gears....there a reason for that.

You still looking for Super Pershing photos?

Nope, no counterweight just a box the owner added.

yes would be very attendful if you have some more i got a few books of the net , but can use everything on it thank on forehand

The reason the tank looks kinda short is because the video format is compressed vertically. It's displayed in the wrong aspect ratio. Most likely a 16:9 format, it's being displayed as 4:3 format.

So that's why! Thanks dima5.
