You really should look up how the Japanese war economy worked. It's unlikely that the Army will agree to use its steel allocation to construct much shipping, that will at least initially have to come out of the steel allocated to the Navy. At least until things have reached the stage where the...

This is correct, there is no way the Japanese will conduct the Pearl Harbor attack with anything less than all 6 carriers. It is theoretically possible that they might cancel that attack altogether, but it would badly upset their entire war plan, so it would take a lot for a change like that.

Good grief! Definitively a command in need of a good shake up and the removal of dead wood.

I think the only Norwegian place name that was spelled correctly in this post is "Lofoten".

Well it'll work well in both .50 and 20mm, so take your pick really.

If we're talking about improving the armament of allied fighters in WWII isn't the easiest solution simply to invent the Raufoss MP round earlier?

Subs yes, eboats, not so much. Remember we're talking either the Norwegian sea or up close to the British coast. While technically possible neither is a good fit for eboats.

There is an enormous difference between a sub penetrating the screen around a carrier to attack it and launching an attack on a frigate. You made an entirely inaccurate statement of fact and now you're trying to distance yourself from it. How about you stop dissembling and simply admit that you...

What's your point exactly? Cryhavoc pointed out that the idea that ARA San Luis ever attacked Hermes is nonsense and you responded to that with this, but I don't see the relevance? I also find your "analysis" of the sonar conditions and distances involved in ARA San Luis' attack on HMS Arrow...

To my mind the big difference is that in this TL they have reasonably good designs ready and debugged, with an established industry already manufacturing them, before the WE NEED TANKS NOW!!! panic sets in.

Oh it makes perfect sense, the surprising thing isn't that it's happening in this TL, it's that it didn't happen OTL, especially since the efforts to establish aircraft shadow factories were so significant.

Ohh, now there's a beautiful specimen flapping its wings.

Is this a deliberate troll? I'm genuinely curious.

I think we can reasonably assume that the Norwegian government and parliament has thought of this and reinstituted the death penalty.
