Yeah definitely cannons were better
Though the first version of everything is going to be pretty shit
Took like 400 years for guns to be anything other than cheaper, shittier bows
Yup
I figure that the rockets were more shit to scare the shit out of horses
The swords probably made a spooky woosh noise too
Yeah they screamed like fireworks do
But military fireworks
Also I figure the real reason why black people never invented much other than the very earliest techs like spears is mainly because of mosquitos and tstse flies
Recalling the video I posted earlier, it's interesting how the Germans had to mix water in so the rocket fuel didn't melt the engines on the V2.
I feel like that could have also ended in disaster
what with bubbles
Course rockets are fucky things
Like the first(and only) rocket plane the germans fielded
At least soviets
plywood for planes works if you're cheap and don't give a shit about the people flying them
Brits did it too when they needed air superiority in London
No we are talking jets after ww2
ahh
Plywood is a good meterial
It worked
Funfact:The Soviet copy of the B-52 bomber has two erroneous holes on the right wing.
They were just as good
They thought the bulletholes on the crashed plane's wing were intentional
@Alexmikli Early trains, cars, airplanes and tanks were pretty far from shitty
So doesn't really aply for everything
Another funny thing Russians copied American CPUs. We know this because a developer left their intials as Easter eggs in silicone die and the Russians left it in their CPUs
Russians are trash
Basically
Why bother reverse engineering when you can just copy it whole?
Russia doesn't invent anything
Really
Communists fucked them hard
You're not wrong, yeah
well actually didn't the first couple of trains have boiler explosions on the regular?
And there were a lot of pre-Wright brother's planes that crashed constantly
I guess it really depends on what you consider the first plane and first car, too
"Pre Wright" airplanes are more like prototypes
In the dirst world war airplanes were already in vast use
