  5. Could KMS Der Fuhrer survive a nuclear attack?

    Actually the Gustav was a terrible weapon, especially in a naval setting. It could fire about once every two hours (although in a naval setting with more automation/mechanization that can probably be halved to an hour, maybe 75 minutes). The muzzle blast will kill the AAA crews, destroy the...
  6. Could KMS Der Fuhrer survive a nuclear attack?

    A lot depends on the circumstances, the bomber crew, the weather, etc. The could miss by a mile (literally, Fat Man missed the aiming point by almost two miles due to weather, Little Boy, dropped in better conditions, missed the aiming point by 243 meters, mostly because of the drogue parachute...
  7. Could KMS Der Fuhrer survive a nuclear attack?

    Define survive. Not sink immediately? Sure, depending on how close the detonation is, whether it is an airburst or surface detonation, orientation of the vessel to the blast (stern or bow on, broadside), etc. It could limp back to port, with much of its crew dead or doomed, sensors shredded...
  8. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    You misunderstand what I mean as it being easy. The utter destruction of the North as a useful political construct will cease to exist. No question, none. The U.S. of 1966-67 was far better suited to deal with the underlying economic issues that caused the Colonial war. You may have note that...
  9. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    I disagree. However, it seems unlikely either of us will alter our position on the issue, so we will have to jut leave it at that.

    Don't so sure. A lock might be the least of it.
  11. WI: Settler colonialism Was Used Worldwide?

    Wait... What the F-? Can't wait to see you explain this one. Right now I'm getting some REALLY bad vibes here.
  12. B-70 produced.

    The B-70 was going to be a boondoggle. By the time the first one was operational SAM tech would have made it useless. The B-70 died the day that Power's U-2 ate a Guideline.
  13. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    There are actually a couple rationales behind this. 1. The Chinese government (and this goes back to the days of the Emperors) has a constant case of the RA with Vietnam. At one point in the war the PLA had a large number of advisors in country, this was, however, in the hope of installing its...

  16. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    There are a number of ways to get the point across that this isn't going to be Korea. The easiest is to react with conventional forces if the PLA even appears to be prepping to intervene and do it in a way that is unmistakeable. The two "best" would be a major strike on the CHINESE side of the...
  17. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    In the scenario I put together, once they were forced to engage in a set piece fight? Hard fight, about three weeks, maybe four until the combat force is destroyed as an organized formation. After that it would be, as I mentioned, a fairly difficult Bug Hunt. With no air defenses outside of some...
  18. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    In that case its easy as pie. 1966 or early 1967 (i.e. before public opinion swings against the war) 1. Use the Swiss or Swedish Foreign Ministry to deliver a diplomatic note to Beijing (the U.S. not having full relations with the PRC at the time) with a carrot & a club. U.S. will leave a 60km...
  19. AHC: Win the Vietnam War

    First you need to define what "win" means. That was the problem. No one could agree what the Hell win meant.
