Now I am doing the gap-filling and until someone finds a source that directly contradicts any of my 'gap-filling' then any challenge or disagreements that arise is nothing more than a difference of opinion.................

canadian commie (TA) is welcome to post here if he wants. Chieftain made an ass of himself regarding Russian aggression in Ukraine. Two-da-loo that fool.

I still don't understand what you mean by Chieftain making a jerk out of himself. Can you link the article/video/etc he made?Yoozername wrote: ↑14 Mar 2023, 09:26OK. mOBIUS is an old friend. Very knowledgeable along the lines of armor penetration and tanks etc. You can look him up here with a search.
Google Chieftain and the Ukrainian conflict at your own risk. He made a jerk out of himself. I don't play the games he represents, and that is that.
To be clear, 'The Chieftain' is a part of WWII History by his employment. It is MY opinion that his extensive modern experience, while useful in some cases, is not applicable in many cases. And having him, interview a troll like TA-Guy, kind of turns me off. I can just say, they believe in what they think they are saying is 'true', but it is not just my opinion that TA-Guy has an agenda. Opinions are allowed on this forum i believe.
To be very clear I trust the Chieftains analysis anyday over an anonymous internet poster.Yoozername wrote: ↑16 Mar 2023, 01:57To be clear, 'The Chieftain' is a part of WWII History by his employment.

Whether people are biased or not matters very much, a lot of people use the internet for research and if said internet is polluted with biased and untrustworthy sources you end up with biased untrustworthy nonsense being spread around.Westphalia1812 wrote: ↑16 Mar 2023, 10:51I don't know what all this squabble about bias is about. You go there, you look at the sources and if it seems reliable you take it, if not then leave it...
There is a certain community that believes all contrary opinion must be eliminated. They desperately want control of the narrative and Tank Archives is very much outside of their perspective. I tried explaining that posting original documentation and then commenting in no way detracts from the source being 'original' but it seems its not enough for the purists. You have top put a certain spin on it otherwise you get hit with the idiotic 'all Russian sources are fake/suspect' mantra.Westphalia1812 wrote: ↑16 Mar 2023, 10:51I don't know what all this squabble about bias is about.
