flamethrowers are not a war crime.
war crimes are using them against civilians, as we did in Vietnam.
10:47 do you mean warthunder when you said they have the same mechanics because that’s where it comes from
Plus warthunder is made by gaijin and so is enlisted
Hey CVR have you seen any of the halo videos?
I'm no expert but didn't the Germans try and get the trench gun banned
@@GamerBoy870 nah they tried to but it never was as they used *cough* *cough* *cough* mustard gas
Fun fact about the "aim at waist height", but for the Finnish in WWII a common battle cry for machine gunners was “Tulta munille!” which translates to "Fair at their balls"
So the last thing a Russian soldier freezing to death in Finland might have heard was a crazy Finn commander ordering his machine gunners to aim for his balls.
OOF size: *LARGE*
I'd just run straight back. Screw the court martial
@@jazon80r13 Since it's the Russians, you'd be risking a Commissar.
@@jazon80r13 > court
Nah, shot on spot
thank you for this fact good sir
Fun fact: While it is true that Enlisted did take the exact same code for Damage mechanics and physics from Another game, This was not World of Tanks, but instead War Thunder, a game also developed by the same people as Enlisted, So its nothing really illegal, Plus, Its kind of Funny that you compared it to World of Tanks, Because both games are known to be Essentially Rivals to the Death between each other, With War thunder being the more "Realistic" approach, while WoT is the more Arcade approach
So Victory or death?
Death Before dishonor?
Or France vs the British level of rivals to the death
@@marseldagistani1989 France vs Britain
also WOT is run by assholes and the community revolts on the regular
War Thunder is also a bit more fun (at least for someone who likes crossmapping with stray shells).
Enlisted is War Thunder but with infantry. It is what Heroes & Generals could and should have been.
@@SpicyMediaReal
i started playing enlisted, i am having lots of fun currently
I've looked into it: Incendiary weapons are technically not banned by the Geneva Convention, it's just that their use against civilians is punishable by Court Marshal, and with most combat being done in insurgency these days, it's virtually impossible to use incendiaries as anti-personnel without violating multiple treaties and rules-of-engagement. So, they're instead relegated to strictly anti-material. If you're in the unique situation where you know for a fact that all casualties will be enemy combatants, you are sill technically allowed to light 'em up like it's Nam.
Hell yeah
Are you really gonna gnow if they were civilans or not if theyre charcoal?
Just say their oven blew up or were misusing propane
@@darthgonk5648 “you have been found guilty of using white phosphorus against a populated group of civilians”
“Nah your honour, their oven blew up”
The code for hit mechanic comes from war thunders physics engine both games made by mother company gaijin that’s why it’s so advanced
Russian badger self-indentifying as a cloaker would make him laugh his ass off. In all seriousness, his model is a call of duty modern warfare 2 Shadow company soldier with red NVG over his head. At least it is most of the time.
they actually did have radio's (The Motorola SCR-300) during WW2. it was made in 1940 a year after the war started and there was around 50,000 of them made during the war.
Bet those b*stards were really heavy lol.
@@thesocialistsarecoming8565 I imagine a giant Nokia 3310.
Those were mostly placed in the hands of battalion and company commanders.
@@theabomb8305 or radio operators. Think they were too big to just carry and expensive too.
@@chazo1367 fair point. I would make sense to put it at a large squad level.
The PIAT is such a dumb-smart weapon. It worked with the mechanical style of a crossbow using basic physics to propel it instead of more conventional rocketry. It's a handheld mortar for shooting tanks, that relies on a spring instead of a typical bullet or rocket mechanism. British engineering during the second world war was.... suspect to say the least but still damn impressive in the crazy things they came up with. Between the PIAT and the Sten-gun you can tell we were going for cheap and mass producible.
@@baronvonslambert or having the radio on the outside of the tank. A classic space saving maneuver that has "no downsides whatsoever"
@@baronvonslambert so this
ua-cam.com/video/YMEuy0G5n34/v-deo.html
Let’s not forget the idea for an iceberg aircraft carrier and the invention of pykrete.
So the piat is the world’s most dangerous nerf gun
@@PsiPhigh Not quite, Nerf guns use a spring to actuate a plunger and the compressed air projects a dart. The PIAT cuts out the middle-man and just uses the spring to yeet the round out of the tube.
aaah yes the PIAT or the "Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank" a british anti tank weapon that was spring powered, tore your shoulder up like nobody's business, head to load the thing like a large crossbow with a stupidly heavy draw weight,reliability issues AND had a comparatively short effective range compared to its competition
But Cheap
@@cosmiclive4437 yea but....there are many things you can cheap out on in war, small arms, uniforms, provisons but explosive delivery systems? eeeeeh you dont want those failing on you
@@amishrambo4096 It was also early. PIAT was one of the first of those types of weapons and when your options are "PIAT" or "Get Fucked", take the PIAT.
PIAT was also better in urban combat to a degree - no backblast, no trail of smoke or muzzle flash to give away your position. And a good hit could deal with most of the tanks around up to the late war.
The drawback is you were so close to the tank that the crew could try to just bludgeon you with the main gun barrel rather than waste MG ammo.
reliability issues NO. ITs range being half of what it could on spec YES. Interestingly the only ones bitching about the issue were the british. Other allied forces supplied with them mostly praised em , hell the yugo partizans even preferred them over the initial bazookas due to em being " more reliable and easier to use in difficult terrain" and they even used them on boats a few times
Badger tends to give himself and his friends masks or helmets to not have do deal with facial animations when editing them into the video.
"...they stolen the code from World Of Tanks"
Warthunder players: *RREEEEEEEEE*
The usage of flamethrowers is not a warcrime, but they are prohibited from being used against civilians, and are prohibited from being used against military targets near concentrations of civilians. The military hasn't really been in a position where collateral damage isn't an issue.
I think the US might be a signatory of an additional protocol on that. Like with landmines if i recall.
@@thesocialistsarecoming8565 this came up on a stream the other day the only reason we don't use flamethrowers is because they are too dangerous to the user. Naplam I think was banned due to environmental and lingering health issues. White phosphorous basically worse than naplam is only allowed to be used for signaling officially but you can bet your butt they still use it against people sometimes.
@@jacksmith-vs4ct Uhhh.
For a given definition of 'sometimes', sure.
@@jacksmith-vs4ct
No, there's no treaties banning the use of incendiary weapons against personnel. Flamethrowers the US unilaterally retired from use in the 70s, napalm is legal and they just use different names for it because "napalm" has Vietnam-era PR issues (I think you're thinking of Agent Orange regarding long-term issues, napalm is basically just instant jelly powder and gasoline) and WP is fine to use against infantry, there's just a special exemption where you _can_ use smoke and signal rounds near concentrations of civilians even if they have an "incidental incendiary effect."
@@thesocialistsarecoming8565 the U.S. is not a signatory of the landmine treaties, and specifically avoided being one, to retain it's area denial capabilities through the use of mines, if needed.
Actually the M4 Sherman and several other American tanks of WW2 did have vertical gyrostabilizers that worked at low speeds, for the M4 it was around 15mph, with debatable usefulness, ranging from being accurate enough to shoot on the move, to only being stable enough to keep the gun pointed while on the move. Most tankers were not well trained in its use, and some did not like using it and disabled it. Most other tanks of WW2 did not have them.
it should also be noted that it cut vertical dispersion of a stationary tank in half
Apparently a lot of the crews found the gun moving around by itself unnerving and were worried about getting mangled by it.
It’s also worth noting that a lot of early-war or pre-war tanks had main guns small enough to just be equipped with a shoulder stock and elevated manually by the gunner, which made them easier to keep on target while moving than something where you’d have to be constantly spinning a wheel to keep the elevation on target. I know the Japanese definitely did this with their 37mm guns, and I think the British did with their 2 pounder as well, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was done with a lot of other low caliber guns.
Doesn't the Tiger have it? I seem to recall a documentary talking about how smooth and stable the aiming mechanic was for the Hienkle
"Wow that is a dumb idea."
"You are correct, but you have never been in the military."
Boy if that isn't just the most accurate summary of my interaction with some of my civi friends when I tell them about what my unit does for fun.
Didn't think I'd get to hear the lore of my state's National Guard today. I had a high school teacher who was (and probably still is) a sergeant in the National Guard, my senior year was his last year teaching there as he was being deployed to... Kuwait, I think, a few months after graduation. He was one of the few teachers I actually respected as a person as well as an authority figure, and he genuinely cared about every individual person in his class and wanted us all to succeed. I have a vivid memory of him walking into class on monday after a weekend-long training exercise of some kind, and telling us that as frustrating as we could be as a class sometimes, we were still better behaved than some Lieutenants he had to deal with. (Apparently that exercise saw him butting heads with some inexperienced officers I guess)
In Squad you actually can play as insurgents facing off against invading US/Canadian/UK/Russian forces. You have shitty old weapons, IEDs, old tanks and vehicles, etc... you just have tons of respawns. It's fun as fuck!
Literally just: throw enough man at them maybe they’ll drown in blood
Nothing puts your balls in your throat like being in an apc and hearing a fucking dirtbike engine
Insurgency is also fairly similar. A little more arcade-y but fun nonetheless
@@sgtwolf1143 ye..........
“This is the City that booed Santa Claus”
Yeah that had me laughing 😂
Yeah but they learned not to boo Bill Burr lol.
I’m surprised that it an actual true story
Ahhhh
Good times 😌
fun fact: people who made War thunder, also developed "Enlisted"
so they are just reusing the tank models
Yeah I'm like you commuted social suicide saying that
Models hit mekaniks gun mekaniks and this guy seys its like world of tanks smh
They also reused a lot of stuff from cuisine royale
17:29 There is another reason why using a flamthrower in that setting is a bad idea... American Troops at the pacific-Front and later during the vietnam war noticed, that if you fire inside a bunker, the enemies, even ones who managed the flames, still died. That was because the flames consumed all the Oxygen and the people in the bunker died without Oxygen.
The game has the exact (or near exact) same damage models for tanks and planes as War Thunder, because it's the same developer/publisher.
Came to say this as a player of both games, both are made by Gaijin and the tank and plane damage models are exact ports. Which as a long-time WarThunder player porting over, I can greatly appreciate this.
@@insertdisc2175 it wasn’t made by gaijin, gaijin just published it
15:18 I think you're mixing up white phosphorus with thermite. First is used for smoke/illumination, but can be used as incerdiary weapon if you set it top blow just above ground. Second comes in form of special grenades you put on top of whatever you want to melt, pull pin and walk away. Very safe to use, compared to other methods of equippment demolition.
Flamethrowers aren't actually a war crime, but the effectiveness of man portable flamethrowers we're put into question as the range was too short.
They've been largely supplanted by the M202 flash which fires incendiary rocket's at long range.
Ok so while the German and the American were using rockets to deliver their explosive with their anti-tank weapons. The PIAT made by the British was basically a spring loaded tube that launch shaped charge. Up side, it's very advantageous to sneak up to a tank on how quiet it is, down side however, the range is absolute ass.
There's also no backblast to it so you can dunk one on a tank from inside a shed.
The reason the hit mechanics look so similar is that this game is essentially infantry war thunder, if you shoot a tank it runs on what I assume is the exact same engine, phys engine and code as wt
this man: "badger apparently identifies as a payday 2 cloaker"
us the badger fans watching reactions: "yeah-heh!!! now he's getting it!"
9:18 That is not completely accurate, there is a game called "Insurgency: Sandstorm" where you can play as what is essential the Taliban. Watch Bokoen1 video on it, and you can see what i mean.
There's also the first Modern Medal of Honor game where they were the second faction in multiplayer.
Plus you've got Squad...
This. Essentially it's a PMC Corp vs taliban or isis. It's weird the weapon choices for the insurgents but I looovvveeee the game
Squad also has a gamemode where there are a lot of allusions to al quaeda and the taliban
Arma 3 also have the Insurgents mod where you can play as Taliban/ISIS against the Pakistani Special Forces, the Iraqi Army or the Afghan Militia.
There’s games coming out that focus on the 2000’s battles already. They are going to be super realistic, so the vets actually don’t have problems with them, and actually help make them.
The Matildas gun was balanced near it's pivot. And it had a shoulder rest for the gun so the gunner could stabilize the gun. But it was also a slow British infantry tank.
so did the early Cruiser tanks till the later model Crusaders with the 6pounder,
We really not talking about that beefy as shit frontal armor? Shit was *S C A R Y!*
Enlisted is made by the same people that made war thunder
It is impressive how you can provide such insights on the military by watching videos of TheRussianBadger of all people.
Fun fact: The M4 Sherman, a mass produced tank from the US in the early 40's did have a stabilizer, along with other tanks from other countries like the British Crusader. The caveat though, is that they only stabilized vertically not horizontally, and they only worked up to a certain speed.
Regarding the stabilizers: "The Sherman, like its M3 predecessor, was one of the first tanks to feature a gyroscopically stabilized gun and sight. The stabilization was only in the vertical plane; the mechanism could not slew the turret. The stabilizer was sufficient to keep the gun's elevation setting within 1/8th of a degree, or 2 mils, while crossing moderately rough terrain at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). This gave a hit probability of 70% on enemy tanks at ranges of 300 yards (270 m) to 1,200 yards (1,100 m). - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman
So they had stabilizers, but they weren't that good for firing on the move. The time for the entire: Full stop, Fire, Move. Was greatly reduced though, since you could skip the target reacquisition step.
Even if not great for firing on move, it sounds like a godsend for hull down position. With telescope on roof, gunner could aquire target while in almost turret down position, and fire immediately gun is clear over cover.
Also something to note, 24km/h would be quite typical speed to move cross country in WW2 tank. These 40-50km/h most WW2 tanks can sustain are for hard roads.
@@kireta21 Yeah, but those 70% are probably under range conditions. Similar in value to the Panthers "legendary" 97% accuracy at 1000m.
XCOM players begin to sweat! :)
@@Mambaru Flanking, point blank, 99% Hit, 100% Crit... You know it.
@@JainZar1 *Miss the enemy at point blank range.*
18:30 Tell that to the AI. For most games, the AI tend to be dumb as dirt and bunch up a lot of the time but are decent enough to occasionally merc someone.
28:07 Can confirm that hot chocolate Poptarts aren't all that bad. Haven't seen them in a while because I think they were a limited time type of thing. Either that or the Market Basket my family shops at hasn't gotten any in.
M4 Sherman tanks did have a stabilizer but it was not advanced enough to allow moving and shooting. It did give them a huge edge in that the gunners didn't have to adjust for every bump in motion before dialing in the sights though so they could move, stop, fire within seconds, then start moving again.
I was born and still live in Pittsburgh and never knew the PA national guard lore. Genuinely very interesting; thanks for sharing. We need that brigade to be able to conduct a military occupation of the Amish when they get too rowdy.
'Shaped charge and a spring?'
Yes, the PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-Tank) is an anti-tank weapon design based on the Spigot Mortar system. But unlike a conventional mortar, the massive firing pin is propelled forward by a massive spring, with simultaneously arms the charge and help launch it forward, the force of the propellant charge being enough to re-prime the spring for a follow-up shot once reloaded (as the spring was notoriously difficult to cock when the weapon wasn't prepared for combat)
The arc of the HEAT round it fired being quite effective, until the germans started putting spaced armor on their vehicles, which defeated the shaped charge rather handily. Also it suffered from reliability issues as all quickly-researched weapons tend to do
2:18 I'm from Pennsylvania and I don't hear anything about the State too often from people on UA-cam, so it's kind of nice to hear lore and history about it.
Your talking about thermite, willie pete is in your smoke grenades and can't be extinguished either but can be used offensively but the burns are chemical and you know WP was used when the corpse is charred to the bone and their clothes are intact
Philly is also home to like the most infamous standup comedy heckling incident that made Bill Burr a legend lol
Learned currently as a Minnesota National Gaurdsmen that we have the longest tour of duty during a deployment due to stop loss. Couple of the Sgt’s in my current unit were in the unit that had to get off the plane after they were about to fly home from that deployment. Also learned what ya said, guardsmen are the best soldiers because of the mix of basic soldiering but also the civilian side we have. Great video by the way.
Those grenades you were talking about where most likely thermite grenades which are used to disable machines and weaponry like artillery pieces. Thermite burns at over 4000 degrees Fahrenheit which is why it is also used to cut/melt through metals like steel. Thermite works by a chemical process between metal powders and oxides to create extremely high temperatures. Strange fact: the manufacturing of thermite is generally not illegal in the US because of it’s uses in industry such the welding of railroad tracks via thermite welding.
Its made by the people who made warthunder so technically they did rip from a tank game, their own tank game
The "year of RC" reminds me of the fact that the show Z Nation's first season had two main characters that had served together and been in the shit, even before the zombie apocalypse kicked off and they were national guard. They really did a great job of making Warren and Garnett badass to show that reservists are still very much soldiers
I own a Kriegsmodell Mauser, and despite the rough shape it is in, the action is still as smooth as it was when Fritz carried it into battle in 1944.
"There's only 1 S tier poptart and that's smores" 100% agree
Peach cobbler, and froot loop flavors are good too.
But I guess it depends on everyones tastes
14:31 Yes. The PIAT was developed by the British, and used a compressed spring to launch its projectiles. The lack of any smoke when firing made it great for ambushes, as you could fire from indoors. And the you could re-cock the weapon by lying on your back, holding the muzzle end in your hands and pushing the other end with your feet.
10:45 I think you meant War Thunder. And both Enlisted and War Thunder are published by Gaijin Entertainment. So it's less "stolen" and more "Hey, can I copy your homework?" kind of thing.
Might as well, why make your own system for a game that might not work when you have a perfectly serviceable system already? Saves them time and money, and since it's also produced by them, they don't have to worry about any lawsuits. Pretty smart, honestly
The remark about the KAR98 shooting down the plane reminded me of a WWI story. Large bore elephant rifles had begun being produced, and several shipments of them were sent out to the Brits fighting in the war. These are BIG guns, right? Like, .500 Nitro Express rounds. This one officer had his, and he used it to shoot down three (THREE) biplanes. He just led appropriately, fired, and a second later down it goes, "like a pheasant." Fired the second shot, got the next one, and had time to reload and get the third, which also spun out and crashed. Crazy stuff.
I almost unsubbed when you said "no frosting" on your strawberry pop tart. I wasn't expecting to be assaulted by such blasphemy.
Fun Fact: The first matches made, atleast in Britain, were made useing white phosphorus. Those who worked in most of the match factories, for a couple years atleast, were a risk a condition called phossy jaw (I think that is how you spell it) due to the the white phosphorus. (Last time I checked we use red phosphorus currently instead)
love the content, keep it up dude
As someone who loves history and watching RussianBadger, this is informative and funny.
As an Australian all i know is that Philadelphia is the city Bill Burr eviscerated live lmao.
fun fact, the sherman had a short stabilizer and could keep the gun stable at lower speeds and recover from a fast stop faster. also you should try war thunder, thats the tank game these guys made before the fps.
That Philly player you mentioned, that was John Kruk right? Because he cameo-ed in Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Carl said he was the one who hit him with the batteries.
The people that made Enlisted made War Thunder which is similar to World of Tanks/ planes but in one game and more realistic and in my opinion better
just to note, theres no "medic class" because all soldiers can equip themselves at least 1 medpack (with backpacks you can get 2-4 iirc, or with grenade pouches you can pack 2-4 grenades too)
11:20 In 40k, there is a saying; “he who doubts the power of the lasgun, hasn’t traversed a field of a THOUSAND of them!”
You’re absolutely right ! As a WW2 German reenactor I CAN tell you that the K98 is indeed a very smooth cycling weapon , I’m also lucky enough to own a German G43 semi automatic rifle too…and that hardly has any recoil and the action is very smooth and reliable with blanks or live rounds ( with my example, anyways )
The thing about the PIAT was that it was essentially a weaponized nerf gun, in the sense that it used a big spring that the operator had to tension by themselves, which when fired pushed a rod into the base of the round, which due to the mass and speed of said rod launched the shaped-charge at whatever it was aimed at. However, there were a few problems with the design, such as recoil impact harming soldiers even when properly handled, poor range, and the spring being unreliable.
I got a 590A1 Retrograde with a M7 bayonet. I got it because its basically a modern trench gun without the slam fire function.
Guy in my town used a piat in WWII to take out 5 German tanks his full kit is in a local museum. A piat is a 200lb spring in a tube that launches AT mortars
I was helping a friend move halfway cross the country. Missed a turn and got stuck in philly for about half and hour.
Two attempted truck jackings.
When you give these super long explanations all i can think about is when therussianbadger sayong "Brother enough with the lore!"
19:22 actually the M4E8 (I think, it might have been a different american tank) was, except its gyroscope really only worked at a walking speed, and so was pretty quickly abandoned by the crews.
Enlisted is published by Gaijin Entertainment. It is the publisher and developer of WarThunder, a competitor to World of Tanks. And the hit detection mechanics are from WT not WoT. Very similar, but not identical.
*torches entire ammo dump with flamethrower* ‘this is what’s known as a bad idea’
Russianbadger: I IDENTIFY AS A CLOAKER AND I FIND IT OFFENSIVE THAT YOU THOUGHT OTHERWISE
well Flamethrower is often the first one to get excused (after mines) but the causing of undue suffering (as burning to death is rarely fast and never painless), inflammation of wounds and the usually poor control the shooter has over wether or not it harms civilians and other non-combatants has it with three strikes by what i casually remember about the geneva convention.
Sherman tanks actually had a rudimentary gyro and they were one of the most widely deployed and made tanks of WW2
19:29 The M4 Sherman did have a gyro-stabiliser, but all it did was allow the gun to remain aimed at a target will the tank was moving. The tank still had to stop moving to fire, but the stabiliser meant that the gunner didn't have to adjust his aim after the tank stopped. The Sherman could still fire on the move, just with reduced accuracy. The Tiger, however, lacked a stabiliser, but also couldn't fire on the move, and the recoil from the 88mm gun would damage the turret ring if it did.
I believe the BAR was initially chambered in .30-06 but was changed to .30 cal shortly thereafter due to the immense recoil of the .30-06 on full auto.
At 10:20 the US used the exact same helmets, the M1 from 1941 until the 1980s when it was replaced by the PASGT kevlar helmet. So much so that until the Vietnam war, they were literally the same helmets made for WW2, no new production until then, just grab from the stockpile.
The reason white phosphorus is so dangerous is because it is pyrophoric meaning it ignites on contact with oxygen so it can’t be smothered, it has a melting point lower than it’s burn temperature meaning you have a liquid on fire that is also sticky, a boiling point lower than it’s burn temperature so it boils spitting sticky fire which catches more things on fire. Not to mention it’s extreme toxicity. It reacts with moisture in the air to form acid which is why it is used in some tear gas grenades used by riot control because it irritates the lungs and eyes. There is also no cure for white phosphorus poisoning. It can’t be put out by water (forms acid) only by special neutralizing agents and by time you get a hold of those whatever was burning is already reduced to rubble. So really the only thing you can do with a white phosphorus fire is hope you get the neutralizing agents or wait until it burns itself out which takes extremely long and hope nothing else catches fire.
Dude i remember the Training Exercise of "Ambush" at twilight hours we had to do. I remember this vividly because i was on the MG3 and my Unteroffizier(NCO) told me, for whatever reason, as soon as the Unimok(like a bigger Humvee, unarmoured) of the other team comes around the curve (Ambush was set up on a forrest dirt road) i should leave my prepared bunker and reposition. Which i did, stumbling in the half dark and hitting my face on 10kg of MG -.-. Still was kinda fun though, super chaotic. No idea who is who. Thaught me that i'm ok with playing a Soldier, but i really don't want to be in a war, like ever.
The PIAT is a spigot launcher, thought up by the British. Key advantage: You could be inside a house or rubble and still fire that thing. Downside: The cocking of the spring assembly was pretty cumbersome and you essentially needed to stand up for it. Though the propellant charge in the round recocked the spring after firing.
So, it's a launcher with no backblast? Am I understanding this correctly?
@@Techhunter_Talon Yes, but nowhere near the capabilities of things like the modern AT4 CS, though it had a larger warhead than the Bazooka. Edit: Also the PIAT was 32 pounds heavy.
Well yeah it's literally a Spring Mortar made into a direct fire weapon. You could cock it laying down but it was definitely cumbersome and heavy. The charge however is so large that it is a threat even to Modern Tanks.
But it's range is really short so there is that problem. Also in a pinch, you could even hit the bottom of a round on a hard surface and throw it instead of firing it, athlough that wasn't an intentional design feature.
pop tars in order the best ones: Smores, Cinnamon roll, brown sugar.
The rest are bad.
Hehe. What my grandfather and the Finnish Defence Forces did during the Winter War and the Continuation War was seriously progressive. He was a Kaukopartio (basically spec ops reconnaissance) Radio operator. He went behind enemy lines and radioed in where the enemy moved, often directing massive artillery fire onto major red army assets before they were in the front lines or any way prepared for combat.
The way they did this, there was a aircraft in the air while he was making his move on the ground, sometimes alone I might add, and CW the enemy's position and complement forward. Then, from the airplane this information was forwarded to field command, and from there to artillery batteries.
Also, that aircraft was under the command of my Grandfather. Not the other way around...
You guys claim to have come up this idea. But, the fact of the matter is, you prolly heard about it from Larry Thorne (Nee Lauri Törni) as you didn't even experiment with anything of the sort before Korea and only fielded things seriously in Vietnam...
I actually really like how he's got all the tidbits and lore for all the little bits in the video I never noticed
34:17 nah, they had big split in military branch about dive bombing, in the end they went with both of those ideas to bomb targets, dive and conventonal.
I rarely got to eat poptarts as a kid, but I did find one thing out..
Freezing poptarts (depending on the filling type) can be better than toasting them.
Poptart, S tier, Brown sugar cinnamon. All others not in the ratings. You putting my poptarts in F? Them's fighting words.
Veteran: *calmly explains military lore.*
Video: *I'M ON FIRE!!!!!!*
Shit like this just makes me cry from laughter. Good lawd!
I'm supprised he didnt know how the PIAT works.
Its just like he said, its a bomb on a spring. Little more advanced, its the ultra sling shot.
Favorite Poptart is strawberry or vanilla milkshake. Followed by cinnamon apple.
“How did anyone win a war with these”
America “they didn’t” (pulls out Springfield semiauto and M1 Garand)
Some people on twitter replied to that afganistan eqiupment disabling in airpot: it was probably done quietly and without smoke, so taliban would not realized their war booty is being destroyed right at that moment. There was a lot of cries and even their officialas complaining publically later that stuff in airport was gutted.
