    • @toomnLP
      @toomnLP 2 года назад +13

      Carrier-based aircraft were extremly important in the atlantic theater. Britain operated 7 aircraft carriers in 1939 which came to be used extensively. The USN-aviation was not as prevalent in the atlantic theater as the british (at least in the early stages) but it still operated massive ammounts of carrier bound planes. Concerning the lack of fighter escorts/air superiority: This is kinda true for the earlier parts of the war, but by the end air superiority was established and british/US-american aircraft dominated the skies over europe and the waters which surround it. The atlantic theaters carrier operations are often overlooked due to the focus on the pacific theater by many (probably due to the most famous naval battles happening over there). Many of the aircraft used by the US were either fighters or dive bombers (helldivers and dauntless mostly, i think) meant to establish and maintain naval and air superiority. But carrier-bound bombers and transport aircraft also played a big part.

    It's only a myth that they actually wrongly armoured the aircraft, and your claim that it nearly cost the bomber squadrons is incorrect. Even the most basic of engineers understands that armouring bare metal isn't doing any good if your leaving the cockpit exposed. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
    This is only a hypothetical. No engineer would legitimately go and make useless parts of the plane more protected. Perhaps a not very skilled statistician could make the mistake, but the engineers would straighten him out.

      The bomber problem is not a thing. As previously stated, the topic of the video is survivorship bias. You're probably confusing this with the bomber gap that was a belief during the cold war that the Soviet bomber fleet was considerably larger than the US bomber fleet.

    • @reblanium

      @@OB1canblowme no. I am talking about the common example used by professors to teach their students about survivorship bias that is called the bomber problem. It is based on this exact problem that the allied Air Force faced during WW2. The name of the example (the most commonly used one for survivorship bias btw) is the bomber problem. I get that the concept is survivorship bias but the topic of the video is literally on the bomber problem which showcases survivorship bias.

    This reminds a politic on my country that wanted to abolish the birth by cesarean section, except in case were the life was on risk
    His argument was biased, he said that the mortality was higher than normal births, but he didn't take into account that the majority of cesarean operations occur in high-risk pregnancies
    Or another example of bias, the amount of Sherman destroyed, the defenders of the tigers, panthers and panzers use that argument. But they don't realize that were more Shermans than any german model on the war (also, the invent that Sherman can penetrate the german armor, but ehen 75 mm canon can do it, now imagine a 105 mm)

    Actually, logically speaking, you want to add armour to the places where there is fuel, components, or crew. everything else is, by definition, expendable.
    no fuel, no way to come home, no engine/controls, same, and no crew, again, same. so forget mapping out bullet holes! thats what i say.

      Problem is, more armour is less speed. Speed is very important in air combat. If you have the energy advantage, in height or speed, you can engage and disengage at will and the enemy cannot retaliate. Same goes for bombers, as enemy fighters will have a harder time keeping up.
