I'm really impressed by the graphical advances in this video.

Military History Visualized

thank you! I will focus on increasing/changing various visual aspects. Some of them have been in the work for weeks or even months. Main issue is to keep them efficient, e.g., for this video I probably "wasted" 6-10 hours on something I never used. So the total time spent was 30 hours, although this was also due to originally having a different topic - lessons learned Poland 1939 - but the data wasn't sufficient.

Great work MHV. I am surprised that air superiority was not mentioned as a reason for victory as CAS would help eliminate any strong points as well as disrupt supply and hinder movement like the allies did in Normandy in 1944. As for the high Pz III losses, this is just a guess but could it have been due to them being constantly used in the van? With the shortages of Pz IV's perhaps commanders may have been reluctant to commit them as readily. Furthermore, with the weakness of Pz II's perhaps the Pz III's found themselves more often than not in tasks that were more suited to the Pz IV?

thank you! Well, this video was specifically on tanks/panzers and the Aircraft/CAS is mentioned in plenty of other videos (Case White, "Blitzkrieg", etc.). I have seen quite many suggestions so far and a few times thought "that's it", but right now I am not so sure anymore, probably will look at some Panzer III books. Panzer IIIs were even far less than Panzer IVs.
