So in Texas, you can legally own a tank that fires a 76mm shell. Why am I not surprised? Don't mess with Texas. Wolfhag |

Looks like the moral of the video is protect your late German tanks with watermelons |

The 76mm round was very unstable in flight. Either it is the wrong 76mm or it is a poorly made substitute |

I noticed same thing dragon6 did |

If you look up the Error Budget (random dispersion error) for any tank round it will include a yaw error. I'm pretty sure any spinning round will yaw to a certain degree, especially if it is spinning too fast. It could also be from the manufacture of the round too. This is from the British 76mm gun:

Fascinating. The effect of the watermelons on the 152mm round is interesting. Others noticed it long ago. Joe Collins |

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the video very much. |

I don't know if it was watermelons or the effect of ricocheting off the water which is what a watermelon is mostly composed of. Wouldn't it have the same effect as bouncing off the surface of a lake or pond? Wolfhag |

Wolfhag I assumed as much. |
finally dips his toe into the world of Aeronef.
