About five or so years ago the people at World of Tanks, a 'free' online Tank fighting game, decided as part of their advertising to create some videos on their channel about tanks. Originally there seems to have been two hosts, going around and talking about tanks in collections that the company was using to get Data for the game.
One of the two went on to become the only host, Nicholas Moran aka 'The Chieftain', who also created his own channel.
The Chieftain is best well known for his 'Inside the Hatch' videos. These usually involve two parts, one going around the outside and the other looking inside the tank (or military vehicle) and its positions.
The Chieftain is a tanker himself, having commanded M1 Tanks and Bradley AFV's, so his insights into the various aspects go beyond the pure technical aspects many focus on.
The channel isn't restricted to just inside the hatch. It includes talks, Q&A sessions, historical battles, Tankfest, walks around museums and at least one where he was talking to camera while literally watching paint dry. (His wife was expecting their first child so he got the job of painting the kids room).
Expect dry Irish Humour, enough technical information to satisfy the most anally retentive and enough simplicity not to put off the more casual viewer.
