Dramatic but Overrated? - The A-10s GAU-8 30mm gun
(Voted for by you in this poll) The Warthog's 30mm cannon was built for tank busting yet was barely ever used for this. Going over early anti-tank trials, Desert storm and changes with technology, as well as its recent use for CAS in Afghanistan, let's analyse the perfomance (and relevance) of this unique weapon system. Includes a practical example with DCS's A-10 module and made in collaboration with Thrustmaster.
How To Protect a Ship from Kamikaze
This was filmed on July 5th but took a long time to get out (I'll spare you the reasons for they are incredibly bureaucratic). Filming onboard HMS Belfast, I go through some of the changes in the ships AA-suite and how this reflected the trends in WW2 (add more guns!), which becomes especially relevant when the ship was meant to sail over to the Pacific theatre. Made in collaboration with Wargaming and World of Warships (an agreement that pre-dates the rather poor decisions the company made regarding this game).
Why Britian Had No Fuel Injection in World War 2
(Previously shared but still in early access) When it comes to the early air war in Europe, no story would be complete without segwaying into a discussion as to why Britain had no fuel injection in their engines, while Germany did. To answer the way, once and for all, I have invited Calum Douglas, writer of 'The Secret Horsepower Race' to give us the full story.
Three Inside The Cockpits will come to Early Access soon!
Looking forward to your feedback and thank you for the support!
