Results: Video Topic Polling
🕑 Added 2021-09-08 08:30:27 +0000 UTCHey all,
Big thank you to all of you for taking part in the last poll. A total of 181 votes were cast, accounting for just under 50% of all Patreons which is a good result and preference indicator. A further 11 votes were cast on YT by YT Members. The Patreon results can be seen in the image above.
As you can see, the winners are the A-10 and Fw200 videos, and I can already confirm that the A-10 is slotted for October 14th. The Fw200 might require a few more weeks. The initial plan was to have it published this month, but that appears unlikely simply as this project is a larger one and I am currently still on the A-10 and the writing of my book.
For the remaining videos, the video on SAC will most likely be made at a later date. I already know what I want to address in it, but am still struggling with how *exactly* I am going to pitch and say it. For an interesting video, it's not just the topic that's important, but also a compelling presentation with a proper structure. Although not really the most popular topic, I was also surprised to see that Japanese ASW did so well compared to the other videos (although of course scoring lower). This video is already recorded (it's a discussion with Justin Pyke) and as such will most likely be released in Q4 2021. Trying to source pictures for it is a nightmare though, hah.
As for Inside the Cockpit, here is an interesting divide between you Patreons and the folks over in YT Memberships. Over here, ITC scored lowest. Some of you have commented that while you enjoy them, you consider them more as fillers between the main episodes. It's funny, when I started with ITC some years ago, I thought about it in exactly the opposite way but by now, I tend to agree. From what I gather though, most of you are still interested in them - but this might depend more on the plane than the actual series(?). The votes cast on YT however were close to 50% for ITC, making it the big winner there. Interesting divide of opinions.
How did you find this polling idea? It gives me some good data and I can prioritize projects that you prefer, but it would be good to know if you want to do more! thanks as always for the support

Polling idea is a good one. Personally the A10 is one of my favourite aircraft of all time so I'm happy with that result. I have a keen interest in it's longevity and the ground troops opinions of it in combat situations. Also the videos I've seen of debates in the US Congress and attempts to cancel the program are always interesting for the pro and anti sides of the debate. Do you think perhaps enemy combatants perhaps have a similar fear factor of hearing the buzz saw sound of the A10 gatling gun as that of the Stuka siren? Thanks for all the great work Chris!
