BoB was close but it still was a story mainly about officers and officer glory poo poo


every movie ever is about officer glory poo poo btw

:lol: wut

The two "successful" officers are a guy so straightlaced and shy everyone makes fun of him for being a quaker (but who was a legit badass IRL as depicted), and the other one spends the series descending into rampant alcoholism. Literally every other officer in the show is hilariously incompetent, too green to know poo poo, or too senior to know the names of any of the main characters below the rank of captain.

BoB is decidedly not about officer glory. That's the only thing I'm saying. Winters was the only officer badass, and he was the farthest thing from a glory hound. Office Space guy was an intel dude...there's no glory there, and he spent most of his time looking for scotch.

Sink seemed competent; one of the Lts was a possible war criminal for executing a bunch of POWs, one was PTSDed out of his mind, Tom Hanks' kid was a West Pointer who didn't know poo poo yet, and every other officer was loving moron.

It's good but it's got a very different tone. It took me a while to figure out that I liked it. It's much more about the mental condition of a handful of guys who may/may not be in the same area as each other.

this looked good until the end with the entire sky blotted out by german fighters :rolleye:


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



That's why I'm not terribly concerned by this...it's a trailer, and a really early one. 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.
