I guess fighting bush wars on the relatively shrubbery free areas of India and Africa does that to a man.

That's a bit chadder then tbf, since they managed to overrun 2-3x the amount of troops in big "frontal" attax.
Then again they were probably attacking like one or two Malay companies with like six or seven Japanese ones I guess.

British professional soldiers were better than German conscripts, because they were better trained. As WW1 went on the British conscripts who replaced the British professional soldiers were of similar quality to German conscripts. The professional soldiers died to artillery and machine guns just about as quickly as everyone else.
The foreign volunteers are probably better motivated, but that isn't going to have a huge effect on their military capability.

Nah thats a bit of a myth. They are effective out to 300~ meters but after that it does get kind of weird.
The only "weird" thing is that the rocket tends to move into crosswinds, rather than against them, which probably contributes to Americans' inability to hit anything with it. Naturally, the Russians would say the same about M72 LAW being "weird" because it moves against crosswinds rather than into it. This is somewhat counter-intuitive for someone who has been trained extensively to compensate for wind in one particular direction and now has to do the exact opposite I suppose.
The other reason is video games because IDK gameplay.TPFII wrote:Aren't there more modern rocket systems that use venturis to spin-stabilize the rocket?
PG-7 is already spin stabilized, obviously. The fins are right there. I'd imagine it's the direction of canting of the stabilizing fins that makes it move into the crosswind rather than against it. Presumably M72's fins are canted in the opposite direction, and so it moves in the opposite direction.
It's as accurate as a Carl Gustav or any other recoilless projector with practice.
