If you put this on the World of Tanks forums, you'd only here "bloody derp gun!!". I've faced this monster in game many a time, and its a nightmare if you're not careful.
It is nice seeing chunks of history being restored, must be a great challenge.

That is a beast indeed. Not ashamed to say i cried a little when they cut into the gun barrel though.

why, actually, they did so?

I'm honestly amazed that the tracks held together after sitting there and rusting for all that time.

Yup about halfway they torched a 8-12 inch cut into bottom of the gun barrel. Maybe for some Law thier to prove they will never fire the gun or something.

It is called tons of quality steel. Back then they used alot of high quality steel that was very heavy, and very dense. Hense it would have surface rust, but still be quite solid in center. This is why they pulling so many old WWII tanks from marses, and rivers these days that are pretty much intact. I even seen 1 video of a Panther starting right out of a river with just a little jump. No electronics to screw up the engine timing.
