  1. If you were a US bomber crew returning home post nuclear war in 1981 where would you land

    500 warheads is insufficient to mount a combined counterforce/infrastructure destruction strike.
  2. If you were a US bomber crew returning home post nuclear war in 1981 where would you land

    Actually this is something of an urban myth. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/interstate/interstatemyths.cfm#question5 Doesn't mean that, push come to shove, some crew might TRY it (although the chances of getting that much road without a vehicle, likely one disabled by EMP, on it is not terrific).
  3. WI Texas secedes but doesn't join the Confederacy?

    Nope. Nope. Nope. We are getting WAY too many unsubstantiated accusations of racism hereabouts. We have been trying to stop this mainly with warning and general "cut it outs". Clearly those don't work, so the time has come to make sure Ian's long standing policy of: "Accusing someone of racism...

    A shas been pointed out this thread is NOT for current politics. There is a thread in Chat.
  5. A Map Shitpost Thread

    It was/is appalling.
  6. A Map Shitpost Thread

    Had this been reported back in April it would have been an automatic Ban.
  7. A Map Shitpost Thread

    Don't give me a "fine then" about this. DO NOT just blow this off like it is NBD. I posted that warning message an hour ago and I am STILL wondering if I should backtrack and Ban you. For the record, the normal amount of time I spend wondering about that after the fact is around, oh, 10 seconds.
  8. A Map Shitpost Thread

    What the actual... How was this POS not reported when it was first posted? If it had been reported you WOULD have been Banned. I am utterly appalled that no one saw this worthy of reporting before today. This is one of the more despicable things I have EVER READ, regardless of source. However...

    Well, I gave you a day to back up your charge and... nada. I'll just quote Ian straight up for this one...
  10. April 1942 Alternate Indian Ocean

    Because it is trolling. Stop.
  11. Alternate European dominated world history

    I should actually thank you for this post. I was unsure until now if your posts were simply poorly phrased or actually what they appeared to be. Your last sentence made it very clear. Banned for trolling straight out of the gate.
  12. AHC White Abyssinian Monarchy

    Oh, please, tell us more. You have just used one of the heaviest charges against a fellow member that this Board has. In fact I insist.
  13. US has better tank for the Battle of the Bulge.

    It was a really bad idea. Probably the worst was having a 37mm as a coax to a 76mm. I could understand the set-up on the Lee, the U.S. didn't have a design that could handle a 75mm in a regular turret so a high velocity 37mm in a turret AND a low velocity 75 in a sponson was an expedient for...
  14. If you were a US bomber crew returning home post nuclear war in 1981 where would you land

    Thanks for that detail. I'd seen the quote, by never knew the origin.
  15. US has better tank for the Battle of the Bulge.

    The M-6 was also, unlike most U.S. designs that actually reached low scale production, an utter POS. 57 TONS to support a 76mm gun (oh, AND a 37mm in the same turret). Thank God they only built 40 production versions. To the OP - A better tank? Well, the WAllies would probably relieve Bastogne...
  16. If you were a US bomber crew returning home post nuclear war in 1981 where would you land

    Ditching in the North Atlantic tends to be relatively quickly fatal, even in summer. The water in Halifax Harbor, right now, sun up, late spring, is 48F (8.9C). That gives you about 30-60 minutes before you are, literally, out cold and a couple hours before you die from exposure. High summer it...
  17. If you were a US bomber crew returning home post nuclear war in 1981 where would you land

    You stole my line!!!!! His Wing Commander must have been a real handful. Second best choice would be anyplace with enough roll out space to avoid a fatal crash that wasn't currently on fire.
