  1. Make World War 2 last until the 1950s

    Maybe have this guy purged in 1930, so the Soviets don't develop Deep Battle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tukhachevsky Although that might cause them to collapse in '41.
  2. Make World War 2 last until the 1950s

    Overlord and Bagration fail. As does the Manhatten project. Whether that would extend the war to 1950 or only just extend it into 1946, is another matter.
  3. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Yes but 4 legs? If one gets broken, isn't the machine useless? Might 6 legs (think spider) be more survivable.
  4. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Nope: https://www.overtdefense.com/2021/09/08/the-sea-sultan-long-range-maritime-patrol-aircraft-joins-pakistan-navy/ or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_R-99 As for the AEW mission, if you don't want to use a 145: https://www.iai.co.il/p/p600-aew
  5. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Plenty of bizjets with the potential to have a MP radar stuck on them. Edit - Embraer could supply a fair number of the slots on the list.
  6. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    You missed "UAV" off the list.
  7. Extend the service life of these aircraft

    Build some new as bombers/missile carriers and refurb/engine the older ones, some as tankers and ELINT?
  8. Extend the service life of these aircraft

    Perhaps it might be interesting to see which earlier aircraft could be put back into production nowadays but equipped with modern avionics? For example, how would a Hunter or Mig-17 PFU fitted with an AESA radar and modern AAMs fare as the main fighter for a third world nation? Add in the...
  9. Opinion of a living Audie Murphy to Spielberg's WW2 films and series?

    Why Audie Murphy? There where plenty of WW2 veterans still around when these were made to pass comment on them.
  10. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    "second way brigade"? wave? When will the new rifle be making an appearance in France?
  11. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Although if someone had taken this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kégresse_track onboard pre-war, perhaps there could have been half-track units, which might have given enough cross country mobility to stop trench warfare taking hold? Or even this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Schneider_P_16
  12. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    That makes one wonder what WW1 would have been like if one side, or just the British, had deployed significant numbers of armoured cars. Numbers sufficient to get in amongst the Germans and disrupt them, perhaps in a similar manner that Whippet tanks did later in the war. Might it be enough to...
  13. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Thanks. The bottom one looks more like a tank, even if the turret is a bit on the odd side.
  14. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    I wonder what a light tank based on the M113 would look like. Not the Australian FSV or the Israeli one with the 60mm HV turret, but one where the height of the body of the vehicle is reduced a bit and then a turret placed on top. Low velocity 105mm gun perhaps?
  15. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Well artillery was the big killer in WW1. So...
