    2023 Turtledoves - Best Spaceflight and Technology Timeline Poll

    I think this, along with the rest of the Polls, needs to be pinned.

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    ‘The number of Germans who were members of the Nazi Party was inversely proportional to the number of Frenchmen who were members of the Marquis’

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Just a point of order - unless the Tliefish has had a Guppy modification one would not use the terminology 'sail', you woukd use conning tower instead.

    Better use of RAF bombers in 1940/41

    Part of the problem with VLR conversions of bombers is that they never went far enough IMHO. VLR conversions of the B-17 should have removed all guns except the tail guns, ditto for the Liberators. There is also the issue of doctrine at this time, CC's doctrine was flawed, its weapons next to...

    Better use of RAF bombers in 1940/41

    Better use of RAF Bombers? How about better bombs to start with? RAF Bombs of the GP series (the main type of bombs available at this time) were dreadful - far too low charge weights, rubbish fillings and crap fuzes, and don't get me started on incendiaries, the situation was even worse...

    1944-54: RAF, FAA and UK civil aviation sanity options?

    A lot of common sense is being shown so far, but there are (to my mind) intractable problems with the UK aviation industry in the time frame mentioned. 1. On average, UK aviation firms were too small, so mergers are a must. 2. Ministry of Supply has to be killed ASAP. 3. Merge the Air...

    Him and Vain despised airpower, despite what the official histories might saw, or their actions - both were BB proponents to the core who hated that airpower was usurping the BB. Harris (and Fleming) would have no time for them

    Medievil armour questions

    Need some help on this and thought to ask the good peeps here if they can help. I need to figure out the cheapest way to equip a mass army in medieval times with armour against stabbing weapons. Ignore feeding or moving said army etc. and assume that sufficient iron and steel can be produced...

    The Berlin Blockade leads to World War III. Who wins?

    The RAF lacked nukes so conventional only - they were equipped with the Avro Lincoln, an outgrowth of the wartime Lanc and frankly obsolete in the face of any serious air defence. It lacked the range to reach Soviet targets from the UK. As to post war BC doctrine it was a bit of a mish-mash of...
