This is how I felt playing StarCraft and just spamming the big carriers. Air superiority is also ground superiority.
Literally US doctrine since WWII. Germans whole strategy in the Battle of the Bulge was to attack while it was cloudy out, because if the sky was clear they were fucked. They got fucked as soon as the clouds cleared.
Honestly, they were already mostly fucked before hand since a lot of their armored units were either surrounded or all of the bridges along their intended routes were blown up. The air superiority just sealed their fates
The ground is generally found under the air, so when you have total air superiority, you actually just have total superiority.
You can't win a war from the air... but it makes it a whole lot fuckin' easier.
I've watched a few WW2 docs some I hope I'm not confused.
But this one is really good and goes into the manufacturing and oil resource side of ww2. Which I think is horrifically undervalued in war documentaries
For your own sake get the British version not the American one. America narration is always over the top.
More powerful than a nuclear bomb nuke explosion sound This was the secret weapon that beat the Nazis Goose stepping sound effects.
Soon we’ll dive into the ultimate weapon that … won … the … war! war sounds “Without this critical development the Nazis would have conquered the planet lion roars What was this secret weapon that saved America from the Nazi war machine? dive bomber sound
Discovered in 600BC in China Samurai oooueee sound this invention would change the world once Uncle Sam got his hand on it and turned the tide against the Nazis. Cannons firing sound
“Yeah so we basically had more oil than them”
Yeah, it's pretty funny when you step back and go "Okay, sure, America produced more war material than literally the entire Axis put together twice over. But also the main oil producers of the time turned out to be America, the USSR, and Britain? They also had literally the world's entire rubber supply?"
The US ice cream ships could be a whole hour just by themselves
finally
Did-did-did-did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?
Such a great album.. I miss that continuity.
