Voting's over and we have the results: the Marines are up first with the infantry firepower demo later today, then it's the poor German grenadiers getting blown up by 105mm airbursts for Wednesday. The other two- M60A1 vs T-72A and Demo Charge vs Tiger- will follow on next week.Interstingly, the Shorts popularity has fallen off somewhat in the last few weeks. This could be some algorithm shenanigans, it's probably more likely that a couple of them have made an impact which is now fading (looking at you, German AT Guns vs Sherman Jumbo with 100k + views for some reason). It's hard to say if the Shorts actually make much difference- they certainly generate less revenue and they're almost more like a kind of channel advertising. I might try clipping a chunk of an AAR and seeing what effect that has.Anyway, in other news, I've now finished off all the Tournament videos for Slitherine and can get on with the usual stuff. I broke ground on the next War Room video last night (after hitting my head against a wall for a while)... I'm hoping to have this ready to go for you guys by Friday.It's been two weeks since I actually released any content here and that's far too long!

Love the work Hapless. Definitely looking forward for the upcoming content.

Have you considered exploding one of the campaigns and playing out the missions vs a human player? Not sure how well it would work but could be interesting.

Oh and the shorts seem to catch the war thunder crowds recommended, most of the comments seem to be war thunder related

I have did once fight a campaign against a human player- we broke up Kampfgruppe Engel into missions and gave that a try, adjusting the force headcount according to the casualties to the core force. It was... very obviously not designed to be played against a human opponent. Because the AI is so restricted in what it can do, it's pretty common for scenario designers to give them other advantages (numbers, in this case) that are a challenge in the AI's hands, but potentially devestating in the hands of a human opponent.
