  1. Very informative. Thank you for the quality you put in these videos. I'm left with one question, though: Why did the military go back to using timed fuses for airbursts instead of proximity fuses? I was under the impression that the proximity fuses we'd developed in WW2 (and I assume have improved upon since) had rendered timed fuses obsolete for artillery, so I figure I must be missing something important.

  2. Yeah, when just a few degrees off could put rounds in the middle of your troops instead of the enemy's, you don't have much margin for error.

  3.  @acctsys  they use mils specifically because of how far off a few degrees would put them 😉
