What format is it in? If it's not jpg, convert it.

A "Tone/Hipper" would be excelent! They could use it to launch Me-109s with extra tanks; since most of their "work" would be in the North Sea, the fighters would stand a good chance of heading to land.

Any king of tow is a massive risk for an aircraft, specially a heavy one. And glider bombs have been around for decades. As for "pilot bailing out", for this to be efective the glider would not only have to be reliatively big, it would also have to fly high. Both of which would have it an...

... why tow them and not carry them?

For "all aspect" you need proper guidance and fire control, not a big bang. The air-air nukes were used by the USAF (don't think the USSR had any) precisely because of the lack of proper systems. Once the USAF had those they removed air-air nukes from the arsenal. Also, I'm not sure how the...

Yeah utter insanity... poor He-177...

You can't start it much earler, tbh. The (failed) atempt was in June 28, original ultimatum was issued on 23 July, Austria declared war on the 28th. You might shave a couple of weeks off this, but not much. Remember you still need to send letters by messenger/train, etc, then wait a couple of...

Yeah... no way this doesn't start rolling hard. If anything I expect the original demands/ultimatum to be even worse. Assuming there even is one, and Ferdinand doesn't simply go "My name is Ferdinand, you killed my wife. Prepare to die" on Serbia, and just declares war.

But in the case of Israel that makes sense, because of how much time they spend fighting inside cities.

I'm sure WWI would still happen. While much would depend on how charitable Ferdinand would feel, you still have an assassination atempt, carried out by "servian agents", that (now) only didn't kill him by sheer luck, at a time Serbian-Austrian relations were very stretched. That alone is casus...

If I remember corretly, they started doing it during the Falklands War, because of the possibility of meeting an Argentine patrol plane, while the Nimrods were flying out of Ascension Island.

It becomes a habbit... a bad habbit.

Good idea... it would depend how much of a manouvering capability they have. The warheads would be replaced for something more suitable.

Another point: I very much doubt that, politically, it would be feasible for the USAAF to get the RAF to do their job. Much of the US (those in the know, ofc) saw the nuclear program as a US effort, not for foreigners (nvm how much there were in it...) and seen as a way to finish Japan. Give...

Yeah I know the concept, the whole "Earthquake Bomb" idea. But I have to admit I always found it funy. Not the idea "per se" but that the bomber would be able to pick a spot just next to the target from XXXXXX thousand feeet up to put one bomb, specially under combat... and the fact that the...
