what is it?

Watching these videos while modelling, I find a lot of relatable points. In particular, the contradictory nature or patchiness of sources when recreating things that are hard to find or don't exist any more.

Glad you had the qualifier in there about the operator manuals. don't know about then but in the 90's I was an instructor at Ft Gordon, we had new equipment coming out. We were given copies of the proposed Technical Manual to review, and promptly found all sorts of errors between what the manual said and what existed in the equipment. Dimensions, weights, all sorts of things. We wrote detailed critiques which were promptly ignored ... hope things were better back then.

Really miss new content, but a repost of missed content is definitely better than none.

I'm gonna make an unpopular statement, and stress the importance of archived information like effects of mold on 2.5 ton trucks in the Pacific theater for the long term storage and readiness of equipment, like the storing of equipment in Norway or other locations in the event of large scale war. Not interesting or relevant to war gaming, but interesting and relevant to real world.

There are so many interesting things that have not been covered yet in this channel. And it could be an excellent comparison to the British Firefly.

I can imagine a lot of documents go missing. Especially seeing how much they charge to use the photo copier per page.

Wonderful speech!

The thing is, Wargaming has introduced the main battle tank 70 in WoT, all information is available, for example, that the tank reaches about 60 kmh with 1500 hp, so really really fast, BUT he only reaches 50 kmh has only 800 hp and reaches the 55 kmh once every 5 battles. In short, all the information was there, but it makes the tank worse even though it is underbalanced, but why...

Flying in UH-1s over many Army bases it was always a surprise to see just what hides amongst the bushes. Anyone going out of Ft. Campbell KY headed out directly over CV Bastogne ever spot those 2 Mopar wing cars? Light blue and a white one if I remember right. Hidden from the road in the middle of the corn field.

Have you shared your notes on each boxes contents with the national archives?

Nicholas, thanks for posting your video, great stuff. I have a few questions: 1. I came across of some of whole bunch of your bootlegged videos in other language of you reviewing WWII fighters like P-51, P-38 and ect. Can you point me in a detection of where you have them. I tried to poke around this channel with "no joy"... 2. I do have interest in WWII aviation as much as in tanks, but for the life of me I can't find CREDIBLE statistics on Causalities and Victories, or perhaps sorties flown of WWII broken down by countries and aircraft type. For Example I know that P-51 shut down around 5000 German aircraft, while for a loss of 3000 P-51, and ect. It is interesting for me to compare where was more German fighter losses in the Easter front or Western front, in perspective of how many Soviets aircraft losses. The reason is that lately a lots of Russians trying to diminish Allies contribution into defeating Hitler in WWII prior operation Overlord.(I know, its not a novel debate, but never the less very interesting subject). BTW any input from anybody greatly appreciated. Thank you!

With your records of what/where's in the archives is that a personal/wargaming thing or is that data that getting passed back to the archivists and other historians?

Of all tank simulators I've played only two: 1) old 1980s "Abrams Tank" (I guess, that was the name), it's pretty much unplayable now, as the speed of the game was tight not to the timer, but to the clock speed of the processor, imagine the difference of speed of 286 processor and modern multicore CPU - when you try to traverse a turret, it spins like a propeller on a helicopter. Thus the only was is to use special software to emulate old PC or throttle your processor several hundreds of times down in speed. 2) T-72 "Balkans on Fire" Anyway, even there games were sort of arcades, still games, I'm not a big fan or real simulators.

They built 2 T28's. They got a bit further on them than paper.

I've got a for you Nicolas if the devs don't implement tank that they don't have any info on, then what's up with the mercenary tanks? Bdecause I've neve of The Machiche tank

what's the gun depression made me think of the LT-432

I can agree with the fun to a game... World of tanks is more of a fun arcade shooter than full on simulation. Moving over to War Thunder, I learnt that the hard way. In world of tanks, traverse speeds as well as track speeds are all enhanced so you can rush in at speed and play it almost like an FPS. Moving over to realistic battles in War Thunder though and I spent the first several hours of gameplay dying a lot. Rush in in world of tanks and you can often win. Rush in with War Thunder and its likely that you get sniped from over a kilometer away as unlike world of tanks where enemies can be hidden only a hundred or so meters away until they're detected, with war thunder, it's pure line of sight. Doesn't matter if the tank is 3 kilometers away... If there is no intervening terrain, you will be seen. All that in mind, War thunder is a nice in-between game between the arcade of World of Tanks and the pure simulation of Steel Beasts.

I wanna see the archive info on the wt auf e100...

Has anyone bothered to try and organize and/or file the archives? Like every time they bring somebody a box that has not been checked out in a long time, they respectfully ask you to record subject matter of the items you find? Like you get a new box and as you rummage through it you have a little note card so you can record for the archivist that Box 23A has a post test report for the M3 37mm, the specs for an M1 helmet, a detailed nutrition breakdown for a D-ration chocolate bar and a requisition form from the supply officer of the 4th ID asking for more pencils. Has anyone tried doing anything like that?

Wait? Masters of Orion? When does that video come out.

I do not play this particular game, but very much love how this Major (retired) has so accurately identified so many of the so-called "grognards"...the self-proclaimed "experts" who have never been closer to a battlefield environment than the dark environs of an air conditioned movie house. Have been involved in wargaming since 1960, in one form or another, and have helped research for many games, by some great people who did not know where to look. Have learned so much from this series in the "Chieftain's Hatch".. Thank you so much. (2/503rd, Ranger, U.S.Army...Info analyst.)etc, blah,blah,blah.
