    Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    I'm wondering how badly the French population is going to be crippled by this war. Or for that matter the Germans, and too a lesser degree the British and Italians.

    The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    This honestly makes me wonder how Bismarck is viewed ITL? I mean the man did create a united Germany so he more than likely isn't viewed as kindly as OTL.

    That first one, Jesus. That thing must be massively top heavy. I wouldn't be surprised to see that one flip the first time they tried to turn at speeds greater than 10 km/h.

    I'm wondering if you guys would know of any good high level WWII wargamming books to buy? I'm currently planning a truly massive WWII TL and I wanted to wargame this out to keep things from becoming a cluster fuck of me fucking up things again.

    Ludendorff is going to have a very different rep post war. That said the human cost is going to be seen decades after this war is over. Jesus neither side can maintain these kinds of losses.

    Don't know why but that triggered this memory from a Mel Brooks movie.

    USA's "Project Cancelled"

    Honestly I view the XB-70 as a good technology demonstration, but the cost to field it would ate up the majority of the USAF budget. Never mind the fact SAMs would been hell to deal with.

    Honestly I think cannons are overkill for most drones. Lasers should work just fine. Burn out the optics and its useless.

    Depends on which NATO nation does it IMO. But honestly I like the PL-01, give it a 25 mm chain gun with radar firecontrol you are most likely good.

    A dud like that? Hmm, math. That thing has a muzzle velocity somewhere in the neighthood of 380 plus m/s. Call the shell weight at 1,500 kg. It most likely wouldn't destroy the tank per say. The crew through most likely wouldn't survive such a hit.

    It sounds like post war there will be a lot of PODs with Ludendorff being more aggressive once AH becomes a thing. My question how much longer can the Germans hold out.
