The catch with the C130 gunship is that everything including the big sighting telescopes are gyro stabilized. In WW2 they did not have the technology to make big enough gyro-stabilizers for that job. The navy had such technology but it weighed more than the plane.

Will Steve and Scott need to come to CA To record their parts? Or it as simple as laying a face decal over a generic face structure like we do in Solidworks?

In WWII I would like to see a 20mm rotary cannon used for anti aircraft armament in both the European and Pacific theaters, either on aircraft or on ships. It would have been nice as side armament on B17s.

Nice. However the limit on door gunnery etc was training the gunners to aim in the right place, leading the target in three dimensions, while the plane is being buffeted about by crosswinds, flack and updrafts. Late in the war the British developed a mechanical simulator for ground training. It worked but could only train two gunner per day.

Not sure if you have finished your vid about Leyte gulf. I saw a TSL where you thought all destroyers sunk. The USS Heerman was badly damaged but made it to the end of the war and was near the Missouri during the surrender. Thanks

Love questions about going back to ww2 with changes. If get T-26 super pershing to troops by Kasarine pass, Africa, Sicily, and Italy dramatic difference. Helldivers and Hellcats at Midway and not just carriers sunk.
