    You know what I find nuts, the Lancaster's bomb load was considered ridiculously large for it's time yet less than 25 years later the Buccaneer would carry an even larger bomb load at transonic speeds. The rate of progress never ceased to amaze me

  • @angrdbonz3423
    @angrdbonz3423 Před 2 dny +39

    Strategic bombing IS terror bombing. One of the biggest strategic advantages of strategic bombing was intended to be the diminishing of enemy morale, so that can't be a key difference. Terror bombing was just a propaganda term invented during WW2 to galvanise support from civilians and sew negative sentiments towards the enemy.

    • @V3RTIGO222
      @V3RTIGO222 Před 2 dny +14

      Debatable as strategic bombing ostensibly intends to only target military targets with the intent of removing the enemys ability to use or produce military assets... But the accuracy of such mass bombing campaigns effectively makes such distinctions moot if not meaningless especially with the use of incendiary weapons.

    • @DOSFS

      But they are clear intend of something between high-up directly order to bomb clearly civilians area and order bomb industrial areas anyway but are aiming at the same thing and might have some same effect but they are difference.

    • @FinePrintKR
      @FinePrintKR Před 2 dny

      Actually, the allied calculus behind the logic of strategic bombing in Europe was that a mathematics model found out that Axis industrial capacity could be crippled by making people homeless by bombing them. Breaking morale was more of a side effect than the main purpose.
      The german bombings of Britain would be terror bombings, since they targeted morale

    ATTENTION, LOTS OF TEXT!
    Hello, I just wanted to say that I loved this design. However, there are a few changes I would make to this model, the main one being no pressurization.
    Now, I admire your idea of making an aircraft that would be safer for the crew, so they wouldn't have to face -50°C cold, but there are three, maybe four, problems with that: the cost(the b-29 cost 3 billions of dollars for the program alone), the production line, the weight because of the pressurization and last but not least the German insistence(jets).
    However, not everything is super negative reviews, far from it, I know this is just a "simplified" model, there are still things I would like to improve the aircraft's capabilities. The towers would be a twin 20mm to wreck anny german fighter, regardless they size or speed. The engines could have a interesting design that it was used in the fw 190 that's the use of a fan between the propeller and engine which would allowed to hide the air intakes above the engine(there's a channel named Greg that explain it better than me) and there's some minor improve such a nose upper bubble for star navigation, like that one in the b-17, a bomb bay door similar to the b-24(because it has less drag), some windows behind the cockpit for radio operator and fly engineer to look at the engines, air filters, fuel injection if u are crazy and the fw 190 nose to make it look cool
    Overall this it's just my opinion, in the end i not even a aeronatic engineer so u can ignore with you want( just don't attack please😢), i just a boy that love warbirds, and some heavy ones, it's your plane so do the way u prefer.
    Try make a fighter that can also be used by the navy, or just for the navy😅

    about forced induction and intercooling, heat from the exhaust gases have little effect on manifold pressure, as they do not come into contact with the impellor wheel of the turbo.
    Must heat in relation to turbocharging comes from physically compressing the air. Compressing air increases its heat as its the same thermal energy in a smaller space. "Heat soak," while certainly not completely negligible, is quite small.

    Figured out a reason why they would have the expensive engines and such. It’s because a good portion of the raid would happen at during the day. They reached Germany. It would still be there be barely light or just had sunset so there’s a chance that they might encounter patrolling fighters in route.
    Something I think you need is a World War II Maritime strike aircraft. I mean your island is well in Ireland. It lives dies by the world’s oceans so American strike, and patrol aircraft would be needed.

    Want to fly it! Important questions though. Does it have heaters, a coffee maker, and a piss lily? 10+ hours in the lass mandate this...

    Just asking but didn't Japan experiment with turbochargers too? They were present in the Ki-87 and G8N1 (probably some others that I can't remember)

    This bomber reminds me of the Shackleton for some reason

    Could you make a very super heavy Japanese bomber?

    Messier, could you give the range in freedom units?

    What would be the cost of each bomber individually? With all of the systems for a "jack-of-all" bomber type, it seems like it would be incredibly expensive and slow to produce. Comparable to a German Tiger tank. Effective, yet limited.
