Excellent points. Tis why I mentioned "propaganda" before even posting the above videos.Tiger6 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 3:59 pm The Chieftain put out another video where he pointed out that you only get to see the successful attacks, and showed examples where footage that had been widely circulated had also been heavily cut to suggest that the missiles were more effective than they actually were - in the one case, they wanted you to see the massive single explosion in the clip, and assume that the tank was dead, where as there was actually 7 separate less spectacular hits before and after that one before the crew decided they had had enough and bailed out...
As with everything else, don't accept what they tell you at face value - whether that be war footage, or the various works of fiction by Hr Guderian...
In this wonderful world of "instant skewed news" it's easy to get swayed one way or another. The above MHV video more directly addresses loss numbers from WWII on for comparison and directly addresses the drone attacks. It's also important to note Both contributors mention the importance of the Tank for it's direct fire mission and if not the tank, what else would do the same job?
I am just amazed by what you have already done with your Abrams, and there is plenty of skill and results to amaze one here on RCTW. One simple side note: I don't recall seeing anyone recently with a HengLong NATO camouflage Abrams. I kept that one and gave my weathered Desert camouflage Abrams to an former Marine who, on first seeing my Abrams, said "I vant one! I vant one!"
