I really liked the small reference I found that link to a special event I went to at 6:00. The 2 Lancasters shown here are of the last 2 airworthy Lancasters on earth, one belonging to Canada and one to the UK. They flew together for the last time back in 2014, I remember seeing them together at the Eastbourne International Airshow, however the Canadian plane did not look as extravagant as it does there. It was a very touching moment back then to see them fly together in a peaceful sky that they had worked so hard to protect, and this reference here really reached my heart back to that moment. Its my birthday today too, thank you very much Gaijin, this is the best present you could have given me

@@Its_Me_Romano I mainly meant stuff like the P-38 and P-47 that were used. The prevalence of German stuff only paints half the picture and doesn’t exactly show how Italy was split by the war.

why pay for a plane already in other tech trees?

[@NPC-1776]

So we can have more confusion in sim? Yeah great idea

[@radosaworman7628]

You forgot about trucks. USSR logiscitcs was practically run on american trucks as up to 80% of their fleet was used made in US.

[@generalhorse493]

They also supplied all of Russias new steam locomotives and rail cars. This was in part how Russia was able to field such massive tank armies, with America covering so many crucial bases they could afford to focus on tanks.

[@NeSeeger]

To be fair this video only really touches on aircraft.

[@439sparky1]

Q: Do aircraft bullets fly faster when shot from a moving plane compared to one that is stationary? And does it affect penetration?

[@fogrepairshipakashi5834]

Better to ask this on a Shooting Range video, specifically the one later this week.

[@revolver265]

Agreed with above commenter. I believe this has been answered before on hotline - because no plane can outrun bullets, and the penetration is almost set in stone, it's unlikely to increase penetration. I think they specifically said that it was negligible and that they didn't want to burden their servers with those extra minute calculations.

[@friedyzostas9998]

I think Bruce answered this question. The bullets do indeed fly faster, but the gain in penetrative capabilities is marginal

[@Ricehubjr]

@@revolver265 go ahead and search up the f-11 and rethink that claim lol

In the 1971 civil war, Pakistan got some leased F104s from the US and Jordan along with F5 Tigers from Iran. Some of the Starfighters that came from the US still had that star roundel on it and a guy who's uncle flew one said that the he confused many intruding Indian pilots with it.

My home town has a B-25 soviet bomber from the lens lease

[@seafirefr.4751]

Hey Gaijin, an idea for additional aircraft. The B/24 is one of my favourite bombers, could you please consider adding the consolidated Liberator to the British tech tree? Or perhaps the Flying Fortress? Maybe even the B/25? I’d relish at the opportunity to fly a coastal command Consolidated Liberator in Simulator battles.

[@R4V3-0N]

I also would love to see that. Especially since the RAF had some Coastal Command B-24's outfitted with a 20mm Hispano gun pack, RP-3 rockets, etc. While regular Bomber Command ones also had some early modifications such as having a quad browning .303 in the tail and dorsal positions. Such a fun aircraft.

[@t65bx25]

[@chiefturion7134]

Captured tanks are fine, but other vehicles like the Italian or chinese m18 are harder to identify since the distinct feature is the slight difference in coloration.

[@31oannamphong66]
