You've probably seen over on his channel that we did a video together. Well, it would be silly to just do one, so I brought a camera out and about with me as well.
In the unlikely event that you are unaware of his channel, go here. / forgottenweapons

@@TheCoyote808 I do believe Ian owns a Japanese rifle wherein it was taken from a casualty killed by flamethrower. So,oh bugger the rifle(soldier) is on fire. Mentally picturing two people trying their best to kill each other with one squirted by napalm and crisping visibly in front of the survivor,is a bit different from the clang of a successful tank hit. The most I have seen is an animal dying in front of me,shot. A human is supposedly different,at least the first time. I knew WWII vets who commented on how hard it was. The first time. After,the them or me seems to take over. Best we keep it light,humorous, and leave out the blood and pain. So oh bugger the ....... is on fire. Get out and laugh about it. Cheers.

I agree with Ian on this point - 1:37 - I think quality determines your success more than the degree of differentiation. That you (The_Chieftain) were a tanker certainly draws people initially to your channel. But if the quality is not there - they will probably not stay long. Unique crap is still crap. Great interview IMO, BTW.
@Bird_Dog00
@Bird_Dog00 4 жыл бұрын
I think they both have a point. Differentiation is good to get viewers to notice you, and thus for you to get views in the first place, but when it comes to retain those viewers, you have to make quality content. Chieftain is still gathering viewers. So I supose for him differentiation is still more important than for Ian, who has his viewership.

Yep. I'm VERY left of center for most everything, but I enjoy firearms content, as long as it doesn't try to bludgeon me with a political view I find disagreeable. I can see that people with opposing views would be the same with their viewing habits. If I want my political views, I'll go to one of the places that is explicit in its position and bias. If you are however, presenting videos on physical objects, I don't see why politics necessarily has to be dragged into it (both sides seem to do this all over the place).

@@leonardwei3914 When I was in Ordinance School in the summer of 1970, they took us on a Field Trip to Aberdeen Proving Ground where we got to see some really cool shit, like how to Magnaflux artillery tubes to check for cracks. At that point in time - they had the US Army Ordnance Museum there and as you drove in the gate - down the center median - they had a History of the Tank - starting with some of the oldest vehicles and moving on to the newer ones as you entered the base. Then - they had the real museum of all these different vehicles from all over the world parked out in a field. That is all gone now - moved elsewhere - but - this web site has pictures of the way it was before it was moved. www.williammaloney.com/Aviation/AberdeenUSArmyOrdinanceMuseum/index.htm I remember one vehicle really well, this Jagd Tiger www.williammaloney.com/Aviation/AberdeenUSArmyOrdinanceMuseum/GermanTanks/Jagdtiger/pages/03JagdtigerFrontView.htm You can see a hit it took on the bow. Standing there looking at it, it looked like a piece of butter that someone had swiped their finger through. You can see that hit in the picture but - it was much more impressive IRL, standing there and able to touch it. One other thing I was impressed by - was as we came out of the Magnafluxing hut (they were all tin buildings) off down the row, I could see a Mk. V parked next to another building - all splattered with mud and I thought "Hunh ... they're taking that one out and driving it around ..." so, in the summer of 1970 - somebody there had a running Panther. Also at Ordnance School, one day I was in one of the bays with a big open sliding door and as I looked up a semi-truck was driving by down the main road with a flat bed trailer on it. There - on the trailer - was a Mitsubishi A6M in very, very bad shape, that had been disassembled for transport. I watched that truck drive by and was like ... "how about that ... not something you see every day ..." I was 18 then but I'd played Panzer Blitz a lot in High School and had a lot of plastic models so - I knew what these things looked like - and all these years later, still remember seeing those things for real. Museums are cool and ... one thing about that area ... is besides it being just chock full of historical sites (like Front Royal and Harpers Ferry), Washington D.C. has a whole shit load of museums. The Smithsonian is incredible, John Glenn's Space Capsule, the original Wright Flyer. You could spend weeks going through those things all day every day - and still not see everything. If anyone gets the chance to go - do it. Anyone who came here to watch this video - would love it. .

For an off-the-cuff (but pre-scheduled ;) ) interview, this takes the cake. Cheiftan tracks questions and progress like it's on a Chyron. Ian's answers, comments and anecdotes relate to subject without rambling on. No wonder they have the best channels on the toob!

I think one of the areas in which the content of both channels is excellent is the intellectual honesty of Misters McCollum and Moran (sounds so stuffy!): both of you try quite hard (it seems) to be very rigorous in stating what you know, and what you do not know, and if you are guessing, you say so, and if you discover you were wrong you also say so, and you are willing to put in a considerable amount of effort to actually learn what is so and what is not. Mr. Moran for example going back through the actual primary source material for Sherman tank effectiveness and losses in WWII, and Mr. McCollum doing as much research as he is able and listening to many many experts and always learning.

If these two were to find themselves in a tank that was on fire, which do you think would make it out? The one that knows his way around tanks, or the one who can squeeze around obstacles and actually fit through the hatch?
