    Never prove it.
  2. Making the Fairey Battle viable

    Pick up the gas cap and slide a Beaufighter under it.
  3. Islamic Europe (NOT an Islamaphobic thread)

    You have necroed THREE separate threads in the last 12 hours, two of them more than 3 years dead. In all of these cases you had to click through a warning that told you you were necroing the thread. That alone would be worthy of at least a harsh warning. However, you were not only violating the...

  5. How to modernize Espana class for WW2 relevance?

    Well, the OP specified up to Deutschland class. When they were constructed the guns that could elevate to 40 degrees, making them capable of plunging fire. Every U.S cruiser had mounts that could elevate to 41 degrees, the KM CA classes could elevate to 37 degrees, while RN Treaty CA could...
  6. If they will not meet us on the open sea (a Trent TL)

    Not an echo chamber here. Deal with it.
  7. How to modernize Espana class for WW2 relevance?

    The biggest, probably most difficult to correct, problem is deck armor. Like most pre-WW I designs the deck armor is, as built, worthless. It will be necessary to remove at least two, perhaps three 305mm turrets to give the ship protection from a 8"/55 Mark 12 AP (note that I am talking heavy...
  8. What if Ringo Starr reveals that Paul McCartney its really dead?

    I WILL NOT Ban even a brand new member for this weak of a Conspiracy Theory. You are, however, advised that support of Conspiracy Theories is a one way door out of this site.

    Current politics (last time I checked Trump is still running for President). Locked.
  10. Belgian revolt averted, implications on 19th century events

    Racism/bigotry is anything but a hollow concept. Unfortunate you chose to ignore good advice Take some time, make it a week, to look it up and do some quality research on the issue. See ya in 7.

  13. WI: The Technocracy Movement was Successful?

    I am going to cut you about 1,000 meters of slack here and assume you merely misspoke and are actually supporting eugenics. Kicked for a week
  14. How much of the world's population would starve without US food and grain exports?

    I have done this in some detail in the past (in ASB IIRC), but the U.S. exports somewhere in the area of 43% of the world's coarse grain, or did the year I did the original research (the figure varies year to year depending on grain yield). While there are some back up sources, notably Canada...
  15. Could the Spanish conquer the new world without small pox?

    It wasn't just smallpox, influenza and Measles were major players as well. Measles has a awe-inspiring R-naught of 12-18. One person will infect 12-18 people. Once it is an unprotected population there is no stopping it and it has a remarkable fatality rate.
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    After the war he tried to get into politics in France. Like most of the Free French leaders it didn't go well. There was a wide-spread belief that he had abandoned France since the Wallies didn't return until 1958 AND the French colonial empire (not to mention parts of Normandy) were gone.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It was fairly simple. Unlike IOTL, the U.S. didn't need to mollify France or any of the other European colonial powers and had, as you correctly note, no need to get the Colonial powers to help put down Communist independence movements. Also, ATL, the WAllies had been in charge of most of the...
  18. WI Battle of Leyte Gulf japan wins

    He has to run into one of the TF 77 carrier groups. His course track goes through the area the carriers more or less had to be in order to provide air cover and have enough sea room to conduct flight operations. The Taffys had to be in the area, it was as close to the beaches as could be managed...
  19. What would a Japanese victory look like in terms of atrocities?

    Since the only way this happens is LITERAL divine intervention as a guess everyone the Japanese want to eliminate just disappears and all the rest of the population shows utter devotion to the Emperor.
