Just found out today about a youtube channel that helps validate my point earlier about Nazi Germany's Ho229 and how it's stealth properties are complete dumbassery. Here is LazerPig's video about the same subject: The Majestical Horseshit of the Horton 229: Hitler's ""Stealth"" bomber.
After you're done watching that one, go ahead and check out his video on the Russian T-34 tank from WWII, and how it wasn't that good. I've long said the universal praise that tank gets is complete crap. The reasoning being that the way the statistics were measured, gathered, and defined between the different countries participating in WWII were completely different. Add to that the misinformation by propaganda (on both sides) and the fact that production quality was nowhere near the initial design spec in wartime USSR, along with the typical socialist quality problems. So, sorry T-34 fanbois, your tank sucks. Shermans were among the best tanks of the war, just check with the Chieftain!
Although, I will fight him about his video about the A-10, as he does make some basic errors in his logic on it, as he himself pointed out, "War always changes" and sometimes a whole new mission set will give an airframe new life, and as ComNavOps always says, "systems and payloads over airframe". This means that older airframes CAN still be upgraded and refurbished to allow for newer tech and capability, sometimes at a better cost UNTIL a new sheet design can be perfected. So, maybe I'll make a post about that later.
Though, I am appreciative of his takedown of James Burton and Pierre Sprey, as they are generally full of a lot of hot air and arguments with a silly premise.
Bit tip 'o the hat to Scott at the Unwanted Blog to introducing me to LazerPig's channel.
