The video says its 1942 for the kessel bombing run (not saying you're wrong, just what the video you posted says). Also every WW2 movie with planes has that sound from the end of In The Flesh (Pink Floyd) also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObJV_PITRjA

Godholio posted:I'm inclined to agree, but the Luftwaffe was sending up 400+ aircraft to intercept the B-17s in 1942-43. The Kassel mission was '44, so the strategic bombing campaign should've had a noticeable effect, plus P-51 escorts. But a poo poo-ton of German fighters coming out of the sun isn't necessarily wrong. Depends how they write it. kassel was bombed on a semi regular basis from 42-45, but by the raf. the trailer says its 1942. the raf flew 2 raids against kassel in 42. the only raid the 8th af flew against kassel was in 44, and it was comprised of 262 b24s. of course, it also says its inspired by true events. i suppose setting it in 42 gives them more dramatic license, since the luftwaffe hadnt been as badly kicked in the dick and there were no long range fighter escorts. for shits and giggles, i made a mockup of what 400 fighters would look like in the distance  its kind of hard to compare, due to graininess and also my brain just going gently caress this, too much too count, but it looks like way more than 400 specks in the trailer  its also pretty weird that they would all form up and come at the bomb group in one blob, instead of coming in from whatever direction their airfield was. kassel is literally in the middle of germany, so they wouldve flown past plenty of aerodromes, so the interceptors would probably be coming from every direction, not just ahead of them i also counted 71 bombers in this shot, which seems to be taken from the middle of the bomber box, when the intro text said there were 65 b17s. so theyre playing fast and loose with numbers and reality here

Then in fully broad daylight in a secure situation with ample time you lane clear with personnel on the ground. I heard a vague story of an Abrams that had a fully functional mine plough that lifted up and down like it should. Apparently this mythical beast was in Germany and disappeared when they started drawing back armor around 2010ish. Loves driving a mine plough tank, that extra weight in the front made it ride nice and smooth, gave you counter weight to hill climb, and if you were clever with the tac idle and spooling you could actually take off faster than a normal tank. I kinda forgot where I was going with this

You saw them all the time in Korea but that's because while not quite 1944 over there, it sure as poo poo was circa 1953. Landmines were real as gently caress over there.

Land mines and Korea is a bad mix when the monsoons trigger the land slides and push land mines around. Also, some poor infantry bastard saw a shiny in one of the landslides during PT and decided he wanted it and it turned out to be a hand grenade that blew him to kingdom come.

If this show covers one loving mission, it's going to have to pull one hell of a rabbit out of its hat to be interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it's footage from several different scenes spliced into a trailer, but who knows. I just want to watch the damned show. Edit: V Or that.

I just want to watch the damned show. sure, and to be honest if they just cut out or reworded the intro text, then a lot of the problems magically disappear. im just being obtuse. still excited to see it, i trust hanks and spielberg to do right by the subject
