Did tank crews in ww2 purposely aim for tank weakspots?

In games I play you purposely aim for tanks weakspots. But generally in ww2 did the gunner do that?

About to recieve these from a friend. How should I take care of these?

That Silk is US parachute silk from the 101st on D-day.

Those Shrapnel was found in Normandy and is Brass and Copper so it won't rot.

That fork is from ww2 but the other fork is a clean one.

Is there a special type of container/display box that you would reccommend for me in NZ?

I want them to last long time and not planning to touch them too much.

Budget is definitely adjustable but a reasnable budget to take care of these preferably in some kind of display case.

Thanks!

How did the Allies overestimate the casualties for D-day by so much?

Currently reading Sand and Steel and it says that the Allies estimated 30,000 casualties and no less than 20,000 dead.

However, from a quick search it says that there were 10,000 Allied Casaulties which means the Allies estimated 3 times as much as the actual figure and a lot more for deaths.

Even though the Allies expected " The Greatest Show On Earth", and them to be fighting 'low-quality' German divisions and fighting against German soldiers who had just been bombed by air and sea, most Allied bombs from planes failed to fall on target and exploding more inland because of poor conditions and fears that they would hit they're own soldiers.

I also remember reading something about a German Officer reporting no Bunker losses/major damages on Omaha Beach or his sector.

Even though the Allies 'Greatest Show On Earth' didn't work out as great as they wanted, and there were some well trained units defending Normandy how did the Allies overestimate the losses by so much?

How to properly angle Shermans? Especially the 75mm Jumbo.

I have found out that the lower side hull is very weak and prone to getting 1-shot even if I angle it a little bit.

For the 75mm Jumbo I've seen people have mixed opinions on wether to angle or not.

How to properly angle?

I know people say re-uploading shorts can hurt your channel but what if the short actually got good stats in those small number of viewers?

I made a Youtube Short as a newer creator mainly from my Twitch livestreams. I uploaded a short more than 24 hours ago and it got 25 views and 5 likes. It's 14 secs long and average engagement time is 13 secs.

It has a 73.7% stayed to watch and 26.3% swiped away.

I figured that these are actually good stats compared to another of my short that got 1k views with way worse stats.

Would a re-upload be worth it if I believe my short actually got good stats?

Old Youtube Shorts getting more views after releasing a new short?

I just posted a short that I believed was very well based on my Twitch Stream on Hell Let Loose. After posting my old short of Hell Let Loose suddenly went from 8 views to over 300 in 45minutes. This happened like 4 hours ago and now it's at 1.1k views.

I don't see why this happened at only 25% stayed to watch.

My new short is doing decent with similar amount of percent staying to watch but a high percent of average view time in relation to the short length.

Why did youtube suddenly push my older short from 2 days ago immediately after I posted a new short?

[OFFER][Steam] any game under or close to $7NZD

Before this I had someone gift me Geometry Dash at the time at $7NZD. In my GOG I said I hope to repay this kindness back someday, and I want to do that now after getting some funds into my steam wallet.

You are allowed to choose any game on Steam under or around $7NZD. I know this may sound negative but I would like to reserve the giveaway to people that have not gotten more than 3 games gifted on this community so other people who haven't got gifted much games can have a fair chance. I also like ww2 history so if you read this far put in a ww2 fact you like and gun. You can also convince me further by adding why you want the game.

I will choose the winner in around 24 hours.

If the Allies landed at Band Beach how would the resistance be there compared to the 5 other beaches?

I'm intrested in knowing if the Allies landed at band Beach on D-day what kind of resistance would they face compared to the other 5 beaches. I looked up photos of the bunkers there and some are noticably bigger than the 'small' camoflauged bunkers on Omaha.

Looking for a realistic D-day game like the Hell Let Loose Omaha beach map.

I want a game where the D-day map is actually realistic like Hell Let Loose one. But the problem is in Hell Let Loose I rearely get to play the map.

I don't want any of those huge observation bunkers which is unrealistic, or a map where it's just endless MG fire and no artillary or mortars.

This elimminates Allies Assault which lots of people love.

I'm just looking for a game that focuses on D-day where I can play as the allies where it is semi-realistic.

THANKS!

Don't fall for this Twitch scam for new streamers.

Basically I'm a new streamer and one day when I was streaming someone came and said something like this: " Driving right now, I'll pull up heavy with my squad later", Add me on discord ( discord name).

I was like " oh cool", and I was extremely happy to get my first chatter. Then he started asking these questions on discord.

  • What country are you from?
  • What's your streaming schedule?
  • Are you a new streamer?

I answered all these questions then he asked, " Why can't you just hire a streaming expert"?

I asked what's a streaming expert and he actually hooked me up with one. I started talking to the expert and he said he is the president of the streaming promoters and pay $50 bucks to promote my channel. I didn't pay right now and told him I would keep it in the back of my mind. At this point I wasn't sure if it was a scam.

THEN TODAY someone in my chat came during stream and said the same thing, " Driving right now, I'll pull up heavy with my squad later", and all that add me stuff.

It was at this point that I got really suspicious. He also asked me the exact same questions on Discord that the other guy asked. He also suggested to promote my channel but at that point I blocked him.

Now I went to the first guy and this is my conversation with him just now:

DONT GET SCAMMED BY THIS.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE USE THE WAY I DID.

Will I get scared of this game if I get scared in games with dark settings like caves in Elden Ring and God of War Ragarok?

I want to play so bad but I even get scared in non horror games like Elden Ring and God of War ragnarok in dark settings like caves. Horror movies are fine but games are just so scary.

first time streamer using low latency and decent wifi having 10-15 minute delay on stream

When I watych my own stream it haa like a 10 min delay and also is for my friend. but in OBS it's fine,.

EDIT: after stopping stream i tweaked settings and its so much better now. delay is only 5 secs now.

EDIt: what I did: I first changed my server from auto to Australia which is my nearest one, then I went to OBS and changed speed to faster but lower quality which still looks fine. I also changed the bitrate down a bit but idk if that helped. That's all I did. Srry for not including this. I was streaming.
