When the squad is so thicknormous you have to make a new format

It used to be manual, so you didn't actually have a real-life comparison. Most people didn't get thumbnail A/B testing in June 2024 and I just got title A/B testing this week

Battle Order @battleorder.org · 9h

Unless a video is a banger right out of the gate a lot of Youtubers do A/B tests to see what people are more likely to watch through. It used to be more guesswork before we got A/B tools. Titles/thumbnails are like 1% of the work in making the video but responsible for like 50%+ of the performance

However, the 4 videos with Spanish both translated audio and on-screen text will remain available: www.youtube.com/@OrdenDeBata...

I can't easily those videos (except for the Ranger one) as main channel dubs because I made edits in the process of dubbing and the videos are different lengths

I found more than one channel to be too much to manage by myself because I was translating all the on-screen text to Spanish. With MLA it's just translating the audio, titles and subtitles but it's better than nothing or the inaccurate AI dubbing

I finally have proper multi-language audio capability (not the crappy AI dubbing) so going forward I may do Spanish dubbing on the main channel. Because of the cost it'll be limited to videos in certain topic areas. Could expand to other languages like French if it's affordable

www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Bw... New video on almost everything to know about the Alliance's Marines in Mass Effect. This includes an overview of their missions, vehicles, and known units, and uses it as an opportunity to apply some real-world doctrinal terms.

youtu.be/fGLG1NWDdgI 🇧🇪 New video on Belgium's GWOT era Rifle Squad and Platoon, featuring a mix of F2000s, FN FNCs, Minimis, MAGs, and Accuracy International sniper rifles. The focus is on the Dingo 2 platoon, including seating configurations and dismount on contact drills.

I have learned you can convert models from Mass Effect into .obj files and use them in After Effects. This is a new era

The legacy of the Green Jackets trace back to the Napoleonic Wars, in which these riflemen gained recognition for their distinctive uniforms and expert marksmanship. Today, their role in the British Army is defined by a preference for fighting in rugged terrain and cities.

youtu.be/NQEjy7yM1NY The U.S. Army protected its Pershing tactical nuclear missile battalions in Europe with an Infantry Battalion. Under Army of Excellence they were given an interesting bespoke TO&E that featured very large motorized Rifle Companies

He rage baited me by not grasping the task organization

Some guy’s comment: lol "integration". They just attached a colored company to a white battalion. The interaction would've been minimal and simply taking questions in regards to how they performed in combat and trying to push it as some transcending moment beyond bigotry is a joke. If you want actual views and opinions you should look at Korea and Vietnam where units were truly integrated if you want an actual take.

My response: 1. The only case where companies were attached to battalions and not platoons attached to companies was mentioned in the last 30 seconds of the video. That part was verbally demarcated as not related to the survey, so either you didn't pay attention or did not understand what was being talked about. In the Infantry Divisions colored platoons were integrated into white companies, close enough integration for squads to be swapped between the white and black platoons to equalize manpower in some cases
2. The video pretty clearly bounded the topic to this event, which showed white NCOs and officers who served in the same 24 companies as black soldiers almost entirely changing their minds about them towards the positive. If you want to make a video about every other instance where black and white soldiers didn't get along no one is stopping you
3. The questions asked and answers given were not limited to their combat record, but how they got on with others in the company socially as well (because they were integrated closely enough to go to company events and socialize).
They were largely positive

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xqp... During the last months of the War in Europe, the U.S. Army gave 11 divisions platoons of Black soldiers. After they interviewed white officers and NCOs in 7 of those divisions across 24 rifle companies. The results were pretty significant.
