  1. The Walking Tank

    Can't blame me for trying. Then I concede that it’s impractical, but it makes for a wicked western-punk.:D
  2. The Walking Tank

    Once again I must play devil advocate. True on the first account but I say this picture shows where "legs" are at its greatest advantage and with moderate disadvantages Notice the uneven terrain and the firm ground. Think mountain goat not bull elephant.
  3. The Walking Tank

    To get the thread back on topic. I realize the OP was about tanks but what about gun trucks? The fact that GE created a walking truck that works in a crude way should give weight to the idea. Now give the truck a HMGunner or a recoilless rifle, a little armor, and a dash of improvements in key...
  4. Challenge create this US but let the rest of the world stay the same

    Having a North American Union or United South America and having the rest of the world OTL highly unlikely, just short of impossible. Having both, that’s ASB. Having them combined along with Japan and Korea. Well let’s put it this way, it’s more likely that a reptilian extraterrestrial with a...
  5. WI there is no God?

    Does Judaism still exist in this hypothetical world? If so Judaic scholarship may in fact be quite influential in the Eastern Roman Empire. Without a religion of conversion with a great appeal to the leaders of the successor states of the roman empire the early medieval period may have more...

  7. DBWI :: Could the Union have won the War of Northern Secession?

    Hope this is good In a word, unlikly. The Union had the best generals, international support, and cash crops. What does the north have, grain and perhaps a higher moral ground. In our pragmatic world that doesn't count for much. They had only one opportunity and they lost it when they alienated...
  8. Possible Modern 21st century Weapons in WW2

    In this thread we have discussed* High capacity pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, SMGs, HMGs, one-shot shoulder mounted anti-tank rocket launchers, gunships (orbital and heli variance), mid air refueling, even uniforms and MREs. Now in all this we seemed to forget about man portable...
  9. Possible Modern 21st century Weapons in WW2

    Bump I realize that ceramics is in its infancy at the time but what applications can feasibly be created with some applied imagination and contemporary materials (Body armor, machine tools … )? Sorry for the thread necromancy. :D

    Simplist answer Take a base map in the blank map thread and modify it in paint.
  11. Earliest Possible Internal Combustion Engines?

    I should add, that I am not an attority in the matter so if you have information that proves my post ill informed please correct me. there is enough misinformation in this world.:)
  12. Earliest Possible Internal Combustion Engines?

    This is my first post please be gentle. From what I understand internal combustion engines(if you are speaking of the reciprocatingpiston kind) require three things; 1. Precise timing of the combustion within the camber (difficult but not impossible with extensive experimentation) 2. A ignition...
