funny detail I noticed recently: when the TC asks for a smoke round, the loader literally grabs a round of 76mm HVAP. That projectile would’ve hardly even slowed down after going through 104mm of late-war German armor at 800 yards.

The sad part is that the filmmakers had Nick Moran as one of their advisors.
They… ignored him once or twice. In one case, he was like “ok, the Tiger would actually be scary if they were in a 75 Sherman.” Filmmaker: “but the 76 looks cooler”

Just got flashbacks to the owners at a company I worked for giving us a presentation about how much money we could save by using a healthcare ministry and negotiating prices
Like, good for you, negotiating is literally your job. How’s that supposed to work for an animator, JEFFREY

it sucks that it's the case, but a large part of what makes a person conservative is an inability to recognize problems that aren't affecting them or someone they know/like
so this is a good thing. more facing-eating, and enough of them might finally start to get it

Yeah, another point in favor of the Sherman. Replacing a Panther’s transmission in wartime conditions sounds like one of the deepest circles of hell

oops, Sherman periscope was 1x and 1.44x, telescope was 3x in 1944. Panther was selectable between 2.5 and 5x on its telescopic sight

And if the Sherman crew knew how to use their gyro gun stabilizer, they could actually hit stuff on the move. The Panther was better at range and if it saw you first, but that obviously wasn’t going to be the norm in Western Europe

Turns out the things that might not show up on a stat card can make a difference. M4s had better visibility for the gunner (a nice wide x1 and x5 mag periscope, and a x6 down low next to the gun), where Panther gunners just had their narrow fov telescopic sight

yeeup. if they lose the excuse of "the democrats are holding us up," they have to actually govern, pass the legislation they campaigned on, and bear the electoral consequences. they're not gonna sign themselves up for that
