Why it works
The first 3 seconds move through battlefield action, cockpit POV and blueprints before the premise is complete, while the 4.8–5.3 second rocket ignition is the strongest replay peak. Two concrete success examples lead to a 1.24-second pause near 34 seconds and a failed giant-tank counterexample, creating a clear reversal before the 48-second link CTA.
