0:53 that music is outrageously whimsical

I'm just happy "Calliope" was pronounced correctly.

Rocket launchers mounted to armored cars? Yep, that sounds like something we'd come up with. The wildlife here up is no joke.

the morale affect of the Calliope is really interesting, maybe it didn't have the best accuracy but if I saw 60 rockets coming at me from a M4 Sherman I think I'd be in a surrendering mood darn pretty quick, great vid!

Can't wait to see Mori T34 Calliope on her next stream.

Need Katyusha rockets? There is a Sherman for that.

Loved using the Calliope in R.U.S.E.

Nice callback at the end to the very start... and the usual pun. ;) Calliope always makes me think of the turrets in MechWarrior 4.

Finally, a JJ video of my favorite Sherman.

0:58 Your best edit yet, Johnny. The fade from Calliope to Calliope, the harmony between both the rockets and the instrument.

Fun fact, after the war this tank started carrier as Vtuber.

Another video topic I would recommend is the Bell P-39 Airacobra Not just because it’s an underrated fighter in ww2 But because among the nations to use it, outside of the US it was used the most by the Soviet Red Air Force.

Currently building a model kit of the Sherman / Calliope. Even in scale the contraption does look out of place on the tank. Nice video and history of the weapon. Tanks a lot.

Man, the tank's name sound very similar to a certain death reaper Vtuber.

I can't believe this Tank sung the Ending Song for The Suicide Squad Isekai Anime.

I think I only became aware of the Sherman calliope after playing the first company of heroes.

Is this the famous rapping Vtuber people talk about?
@BensonCaisip 4 months ago

The fact that it's called T34 caused me a lot of confusion.
