it would cool down from the water, not keep on causing steam. Contact is worse enough. It might have stopped before it hit the ground water anyway, despite the heat exchanger. But once there is contact, there is contact.

probably in the black sea, but not before it pollutes all the area along the Dnjepr river, which flows through Kiev just so you know.

The biggest problem would be to stop the fires, as they can't reach it without sacrificing humans. I do believe it is going to take a lot of sacrifices to do it, but its going to take so long the long term effects are going to be much, much more significant. Imagine a bigger fire of multiple...

AH is an empire, all it needs is an excuse. They saw the rise of power of Serbia as a threat to their Balkan territories, a chance they would cause unrest and insurrections in Bosnia etc, so they wanted to put them in their place. Any excuse would do, including a lie. Whatever they need to do to...

Yeah there were several people waiting to asassinate him. it would have probably happened at one point that day or week. Its just luck that Princip was the one to stumble upon him.

Totally depends on how they win. In 1914, do they reach Paris? How? How far do they reach into Russia? What do they demand? How do the Entente surrender? Why? What about Austro-Hunagry?

Like i have mentioned on this Board before and i will again, if the Nothern Atlantic Route for some reason proves to be more hazardous and the loss of material is too high, they will start using the Northern Pacific route, through the Bering strait and all the way north along the coast towards...

Takes longer, need more ships. So? They can cope with the shipping needs, both the OPersian route and the Far East route couldi ncrease capacity easily, and so can the Soviets on land. They were pretty much uncontested. The point is, it won't afect the Soviets, they got most of their more...

what makes you say that? There were other routes.

mob boss. Oh wait, he already was that. Anyway, i read he was a meteorologist. So he could be a weatherman. Or poet.

i meant used for what they have trained for, dropping behind enemy lines. Like the OP suggested. Paratroopers are specially trained troops, usefull on the frontlines, but wasted for what they are meant for. Like using a submarine as surface vessel. Or a fighter as a bomber. Possible, sometimes...

have to understand it took around 2 years for the Germans to complete a ship. A cruiser maybe a bit less than 2 years and a battleship like Bismarck a lot more. Thats why they never started building something else, they needed the resources elsewhere and their focus at sea was U-boats, which...

But for that they need ships. So if they won't do sealion, ironically they won't need the resources to build surface ships anymore. They can keep focussing on U-boats. And destroyers are nice, plenty dockyards can built those, but what you really need is the big docks that can build you a...

i'm sorry, did the German 1st parachute division parachute onto the ruins of the abbey? Because i'm not aware of that.

Don't want to nitpick but the worst of the war was done in the 21st century. Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo were the worst prt of it and "ended" by 2000. If you mean how would NATO handle it in a later time; same way, badly? Although, with Hungary added to NATO, it could either go even worse or better.

Can't personally see paratroopers used in a defensive war. They go behind enemy lines and open the way for frontline troops to reinforce them. Or else they would stay surrounded and be inevitably defeated. You have to know you are going to break through, or get 20,000 men killed/captured really...

Barbarossa failed to achieve its goals. Mostly because of the huge underestimation of the Soviets ability to mobilize. Plus the territory they had to cross, plus the weather. Nothing to do with planning really. Well thye could have been more realistic and planned to fight in the winter, not...

doesn't make the US go crazy. Like really ,really crazy. Thats what this idea is.

Panzer III's and IV's cut BT-7's and T-26's to pieces. Losses were tremendous. Although the major losses were from air attacks. Their armor was too thin and their guns too weak.

Depends on if you see the European conflict as WW2 or do the Japanes have to be involved? or just the US? When is it a world war? A lot of events making the war go off in Europe earlier could mean the Japanese never go into conflict with the US or USSR. Plus it could mean the US never gets...
