Fascists are not competent and the belief that they are competent is itself part of fascist ideology It is the nature of fascist ideology and how it defines "competence" that, in fact, *ensures* they cannot be competenthttps://twitter.com/SecretGamerGrrl/status/1323379954613129217 …

And, like There were ideas that Hitler latched onto that seem like he was looking into the future, like a jet-powered strike bomber There were ones that seem "ambitious but tragically flawed", like the idea of the Tiger "supertank" And some were just completely fucking dumb

Up until the end of the war he kept pushing them to test the idea of a "rifle that shoots around corners" Literally putting a bent barrel on the thing and a periscope so you could see around a corner and shoot someone before they see you The ultimate trump card in urban warfare

And then, of course, Hitler, being such a fan of his high-tech toys, couldn't stop himself from meddling in them, trying to turn the Me-262 into a bomber and the like

Yeah the manual of SWotL makes it clear that if the jet planes had any ability to turn the tide of the war it would've been as *fighters*, to shoot down the enemy's bombers, not as a bomber itself Because, you know, at that point they were losing and playing defense

Maybe no gaming experience has been as formative for me as the TIE mission where you're sent in an unshielded fighter to clear a mine field. It's an obvious suicide mission and as soon as you start it becomes clear your superiors are in fact trying to get you killed in-game...
-
...but despite the whole thing being obviously illegitimate due to the scripted plot twist, the game won't let you proceed unless you do actually clear the mines because that's the objective the mission has.
