Looking at WWII bombers and I’m struck by how Wikipedia recently has a lot about development and procurement programs for military planes and honestly its striking to realize that casuals caught up with WWII say defensive armament placement analysis circa Quake III and bombing analysis circa like Warcraft III (and logistically, the dissemination of the M:tG concepts of “card advantage” and the “mana curve” were like Scramble for Africa-era) and strategy circa like 2008 WoW theorycrafting
Does give some context to how so many 1990- era personal computing and table games were like, simulations of major war theatres for people who’d been Navy engineers
