Tbh. My youtube notification doesn't notified me until i scrolled to recommendation or looking at subscription Just because of the stupid RU-vid Algorithm, it was a waste of time
well theres not much information on those weapons exspecially on the x4 im serching myself for technical details but theres nothing reliable to find on the internet
@@samirmonako1527 They started a war with literally everyone. Also the allies did not stay too much behind the Germans and there where a lot of reliability issues
@@samirmonako1527 the reason why they lost the war is very simple. Most of technologies was introduced too late to change the war, and from 1943 Wermacht was only retreating with low amount of supplies and oil. If germany capture the Moscow in 1941, the war could be winned easily by Germans and then conquer the world, like at some movies or games.
@@friedrichstainer8330 most of German advance secret weapon look cool cause they are the one who lost so their documents will be explored by Allies. That doesn't mean they are more advance than US British or Soviet. And most of their "super weapons" are more like prototypes than actual finished products, they must to use them cause they have no to develop anymore and throw everything they can in the war, unlike Allies when they have time to finish their weapons.
@@samirmonako1527 Economics. The US, UK and USSR were 3 largest economies of the time (IIRC). All three were big enough and had territory far enough from the Axis powers that they had plenty of factories which couldn't be bombed. In short, they could mass produce the latest and greatest weapons, whereas the Axis only had a handful. Even then, not all were well used. Consider, for instance, the engagement when experienced pilots from the experienced "Tuskegee Airmen" group in propeller-powered P-51s defeated 9* German Me 262 jet fighters for no losses of their own (the Germans were less experienced). Consider also, from a purely strategic perspective, that the V2 was a waste of time and resources better spent on the V1 (The V1 could be shot down, meaning many Allied air defenses were tied up behind friendly lines instead of protecting troops on the front). * 3 confirmed "kills", 3 "probable" kills and 3 "damaged."
Could you please make a video on the ASM-N-2 Bat? It is a world war 2 radar guided anti ship fire and forget glide bomb/missle deployed by the U.S. navy at the end of the war. It was at least 15 years ahead of its time. It is absolutely insane.
technically want rear advanced Germany also made radar-guided missiles and homing torpedos during WW2 a lot of nations made guided weapons during WW2 but only Germany and the U.K managed to deploy these weapons
@@chucknorris6640 The US deployed the glide bomb and sunk japanese ships 37km away from the launch point. It was not only made, deployed, but proven and did see combat use. This was the only example of a active radar autopiloted missile in ww2. German missiles had to rely mainly on MCLOS from the launch vehicle and even at best MCLOS was achieved via radio.
Amazing video as always, the animations were very good, however i was wondering why you were inactive for so long? and will you be uploading more often now adays?
That is definetly a threat. They were thinking about arming jet fighters with this missile, but refrained from it, since they came to the conclusion that flying a plane and controlling the missile was too difficult for a single pilot, so the missile would have mostly been used on two seated planes.
I swear you have a knack for introducing me to the strangest WW2 era technology I was totally unaware of, and I consider myself a nerd for this particular topic. So these weapons did see actual combat use? Interesting.
@@FemmeCatGirl It isn't that difficult to shoot down things with rockets. Given that there is no warning of the missile and the enemy not spotting it you definetly could take someone out, especially if Gaijin adds the accoustical proximity fuse.
And so could the germans, thats why the program pretty quickly went away from the use of single seaters like rhe FW 190 in the video to planes with multiple seats so that flying the plane and guiding the missile could be done by different people
@@fulcrum2951 I could definetly see it being possible. Since it had a proximity fuse and an 8m kill radius, and it was targeted at slow bombers, flying mostly in a straight line it would have basically been a job of firing the missile and adjusting so that the red flare was always over the bomber formation. You have to remember that the targets were not single planes but big groups of often over a dozen planes flying in a tight formation.
I find it kind of interesting that so many Cold-War era mainstay weapons were first developed during the war, like airburst munitions and SACLOS Guidance for Missiles.
what happened to the wires once the missile exploded? do they planes have to fly back with cables dragging behind them? what they got caught in the gear on landing?
@@anzaca1 Yeah, in practice most Nazi superweapons were pretty useless. That's what I mean by ahead of their time; not very useful in their time, but very similar to the technologies that would be used in the future.
they were only ahead in rocket technology and had a little more patience when developing stuff. im researching alot about the wunderwaffen but theres to almost anything an american or british couterpart that was performing slightly worse and thus wasnt introduced to the allied armed forces while germany fielded everything . for example camera tubes that were used in tv guided bombs were developed by germans and americans but this work stopped during the war and both sides developed their own cameras. the germans had the better camera but the americans actually fielded a tv guided bomb. different story with the rockets , the v2 and wasserfall rocket was decades ahead of anything any other nation had during the war
Damn, they really were ahead of their time. I mean it was the 40's and it was war. How did they come up with something completly new in almost every aspect that would be state of the art for the rest of the entire century. Absolutely mind boggling!
The Germans also had a wire guided ATGM with plans to make it a fire and forget. The crew would point a target device at the enemy tank and the missile would adjust itself to hit the target as it followed it by using a computer to process the changes in captured images. I believe it was called Pfeifenkopf or Pinsel project
