  1. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    Ah yes, the YA-7 Strikefighter, killed by the same folks who thought that you could effectively replace the A-10’s GAU-8 tank busting abilities with a gun pod-equipped F-16. I understand the desire to standardize as much as possible on the F-16 to lower unit costs, particularly after the fall of...
  2. WI: American Airlines Flight 96 crashes?

    The tristar is way way more expensive and i think airlines just doesnt want it (Mustard made an excellent video on the tristar) and the development hell behind tristar certainly doesnt help (i mean the only major lockheed passanger plane is the elektra which was piston engined they are more...
  3. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    Is it possible for a majority of greek-speaking population of Eastern Roman Empire to begin consider themselves Hellenes rather than Romans before 11th Century?

    An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    You'd be surprised then that people turn up thinking alternate history means precisely that. Usually the sort who hold to conspiracies and similar hidden or insert into the gap theories. The OP just assumed legendary Arthur existed as they described rather than positing what if someone like the...
  7. WI: American Airlines Flight 96 crashes?

    Hmm true true though tbh the trijet era is doomed by the DC-10 and L1011 performance and sales record and true the 70s oil crisis not only hampered the DC-10 but also like a lot of company with TWA and Pan-Am getting the most hard hit i do think had that not happen and flight 96 crash (and...
  8. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Great stuff, a lesson in hubris and underestimating your enemies. Glad to see Trebizond come out with serious gains in exchange for their losses, they'll slowly turn the black sea into their personal lake.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Is there any chance of a Star Trek parody- light-hearted or not getting green-lit in the 80's when early TNG is still on the air? It strikes me Galaxy Quest and to a certain extent Orville are successful partly due to production teams growing up with TNG and TOS. Maybe a more general sci-fi...

    Under wings of the Zilant: a Golden horde timeline

    I admit I'm taking a calculated risk by being the pioneer of golden horde genre in alt history . Also since this is my first TL I'm expecting a lot of mistakes which experienced ones like you will surely help me with ( innocent puppy eyes). Thanks for the appreciation again, dude.

    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    To demonstrate end-user COMBAT context with the tools and actual experienced unacceptable performance of two weapons in the same context expeerience as opposed to a mere claim made. was an unsubstantiated "claim". No evidence was supplied to support the claim, or rather I knew that the claim...

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    IIRC, Romanos is getting assassinated, so there's that.
  15. The Tudor Rose over Brittania
    Threadmarks: Tudor Rose over Britannia Chapter 16

    Alexander Stewart sat across his father, or his king, James IV of Scotland. The eldest of the King of Scotland’s illegitimate children, the only way for him to survive was entering the church, something that he accepted. He was not going to get a title or lands and his Boyd relatives were...
  16. The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    What if Romanos dies never losing a single battle, but his madness results in so many fires spreading in the Empire that he's unable to stamp them all out. Losing may teach him some humility, but if it's just his lieutenants being defeated it'll drive his madness even further.
  17. WI: American Airlines Flight 96 crashes?

    American 191 and the subsequent grounding definitely put the nail in the coffin of any stretched DC-10 developments, but I’d argue that the DC-10 was already hamstrung by having to split a market sector with the L1011 that never grew quite as big as expected due to 1970’s recessions and the...

  19. First Philippine Republic survives gets recognized by usa, and germany wants to invade it what would be great powers reaction

  20. First Philippine Republic survives gets recognized by usa, and germany wants to invade it what would be great powers reaction

    What about letting them go and the US giving them aid, in exchange for a teritory, like Palau, which is currently under their control. Maybe PI like selling palau in exchange for 10M dollars, and other aid and investments?
