  1. Military Gear that should have seen service

    Thank God! Someone else! I just couldnt resist it :D SLAM haunts my dreams. Or it did for two days after I first saw it.:eek:
  2. Military Gear that should have seen service

    The LAVI multi - role fighter. A victim of politics, plain and simple. A magificent aircraft, and as capable as the newest F 16s of the mid 80s.
  3. WI Yamamoto Survives

    Now if Yamamoto survived the crash, badly injured, with 2 or 3 campanions, he could have kept a defence of that betty wreck going until 1970, when they give up. Yamamoto after being aquitted by the UN, for the last 3 years of his life was admitted into the Shinto order of monks. Because Ive...
  4. WI: British Empire has Jet Fighters by 1940

    The point is the entire technological and tactical infrastructure required to effectively field 2 or 3 squadrons of any ATL achaevable jet model just isnt there, and there would have to be multiple PODs to account for all that. You guys call it butterflies? Im still quite new.
  5. WI: British Empire has Jet Fighters by 1940

    Im afraid its not plausable at all. For to get meteors (which remember were slower than the spitfire mk14 and the tempest..and the P51) in this timeline, you would have to factor in; Budgets and political will The entire airforce budget would be hugely stretched. In metallergy, and tooling...
  6. WI: British Empire has Jet Fighters by 1940

    Most airfields in the BoB were grass strips. Im not sure how many of even the sector stations were paved or concreted. It would make the luftwaffes task in a way easier, only targetting paved airfields. I would assume the luftwaffe medium bombers would continue the airfield attacks at night...
  7. A more efficient Axis from the start

    Scary one. Is this a sustainable pod, with Soviet- Nazi cooperation in the early 30s? I suppose that twenties German/Soviet clandestine co-operation a la ATL, could be factored in?
  8. WI there really had been American POWs still stuck in 'Nam?

    wooo 5 billion was such an enormous amount of bread in 1970 -1 :eek::eek:
  9. WI there really had been American POWs still stuck in 'Nam?

    Korean War MIAs From the few sources I have read or docs watched, it seems a far worse issue was the Korean POWs, of several nationalities. Brain washing, indoctrination, I seem to recall an eyewitness account in the USSR from the mid - late 70s of some mature Western prisoner/workers...
  10. A more efficient Axis from the start

    A POD may take place in 1931, (?) where the Strasser brothers are not purged from the NSDAP, and Goebbells crucially supports them. Hitler may or may not be used as a convieient figurehead afterwards, or merely disposed of. The diff here would be that the Nazis would then take a far more...
  11. A more efficient Axis from the start

    And my grand dad joined the A.R.P so obviously in the England of 1940, surrender was not an option. :D
