The Next World War | Episode 12 | The Fall of Lithuania
Показать описание
As Lithuania teeters on collapse from the Russian invasion of the Baltics, NATO launches a desperate mission to ensure the survival of the Lithuanian government.
Background:
This episode looks at the question: what would happen if (like Ukraine in the opening hours of the war when Zelenskyy refused the US advice to evacuate - his "ammunition instead of a ride" comment) - instead, what if the President of Lithuania took the US up on that offer. A pretty controversial decision. I'll leave it up to the viewer to decide whether it was right or wrong. For the President, do you save your city from destruction, or evacuate to a different part of the country and operate on-the-run, or do you fully evacuate and wait it out until NATO can retake the Baltics?
Commentary:
Soccer vs. football. The narrator is from the UK, so why am I calling the field a soccer field? I bounced back and forth on this while writing it, but came to the conclusion that because I am from the U.S., it needs to be written as such. If I was to fully immerse myself and "pretend" to write the script from a UK POV, I would get a TON of things/terms, etc. wrong. So... soccer it is. :)
Pronunciations. Oh boy, there are several in this episode that I probably butchered. I (try) to determine what they should be but, 1) even researching it, the results aren't always accurate and 2) the AI narrator struggles to get it "right". Also, sespite my best research attempt, I have come to learn since posting this video that Simonyte is a female Lithuanian name. My mistake!
Female characters. Why so few? Simply put, the 3D models available within ARMA3 are AWFUL. I have yet to find a group that works well as civilians beyond women in tracksuits or mini-skirts. Seriously. Ugh. I'm still looking for anyone who has created a better mod, but in the meantime... I'm stuck.
Night vision gear used by pilots is an approximation based on 2032.
Why am I showing the flight lead sitting in the right seat (as opposed to the left seat pilot)? I was corrected on this by Ian Brown. As he put it, "while the pilots wiggles the stick, the flight lead is doing their thing."
Lastly, please keep in mind that the equipment, “actors”, uniform rank, etc., in my video may not be perfect. Though I try to get it right, sometimes there isn’t a mod or 3D model for what’s needed. Or, I might get something wrong. I’m a One Man Show here and I’m doing my best, so I ask for some grace. That said, if you see something that I might be able to address in future episodes, let me know. Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome.
