  1. German nuclear bomb

    At what point in the war? If it is any non ASB ready date (mid 1944, and even that is a STREEEEEETCH), which is also the last time the Reich controlled the French Channel Coast, then no, not a chance in Hell. The Allies had 2,434 single and twin engine (mainly P-38s) fighters, (171 squadrons)...
  2. Wings of the Free World: What If The Avro Arrow entered service?

    You INTENTIONALLY necro'd a two year old thread. You had to manually over ride a warning to do so. NEVER do this again. Want it back? Start a thread. Necro like this violates Board policy
  3. Japanese sink US carriers at Pearl Harbor, what next?

    Actually, they didn't see the carriers are the biggest threat.That is the classic myth. Nagumo was VERY worried about the absence of the carriers at Pearl, not because he had lost his primary targets but because he was worried about getting bushwacked, or, possibly worse, having his service...
  4. US Victory Against the CSA/Great Britain

    The good news is that I know what to say to both of you. Stop. Now. Best advise you will get all day.
  5. US Victory Against the CSA/Great Britain

    Wow. Gravedancing much? Cease and desist.
  6. Best anti personnel weapons to deal with large masses of infantry?

    The main difficulty with traditional FAE is the need for the air/fuel mix to be fairly stable (i.e. you can't use it in the middle of a tropical storm). That is something less of a problem now that the mix has been altered to include what is more or less aluminum dust with a high explosive...
  7. WI/PC: F-16's for RAF instead of Jaguars?

    The A-7 was an exceptional attack aircraft, tons of range on internal fuel, HUGE bombload, not much in the air-to-air role. It was also cheap, cheap, cheap to procure, under $3 million a copy. It could also have operated off the RN CATOBAR carriers until they were decommissioned.
  8. WI/PC: F-16's for RAF instead of Jaguars?

    The only thing you need to do (as is so often the case with modern U.S. combat aircraft) is get Congress to refrain from trying for a "Joint" design. That delayed the Falcon for at least two years. Range is not an issue, actually the Falcon has slightly more range on internal fuel (the Wiki...
  9. Pacific War Redux

    Resting. Closing it for now.
  10. Best anti personnel weapons to deal with large masses of infantry?

    FAE has most of the positives of tactical nuke with none of the drawbacks. Against massed infantry it can be devastating.
  11. Best anti personnel weapons to deal with large masses of infantry?

    Clustered together? MLRS M270A1 with DPICM warheads. The Iraqis called it Steel Rain for a reason. Same reason the Americans call it the Grid Square Removal System There is no such thing as overkill. There is only open fire and reload.
  12. RFK:If he wasn't killed

    Don't. Just don't.
  13. Views on the South and Civil War if CSA won, but later lost

    Play the ball, not the man.
  14. WI: Marginalized Christian Right / Secularized USA

    Seriously? This is a pretty heavy troll post. Any chance of this being a warning disappeared when you actually used the term Feminazi unironically in a sentence. Don't do this again.
  15. Better prepared CSA?

    Really? Start off by flat out saying the "Mods" don't like people talking about previously Banned members. Then proceed to make a lengthy post about more than one Banned member. This is called feeding the trolls. Worse you posted it in the "open" part of the Board where anyone can read the...
  16. When did Nazi Germany definitely lose WW2?

    Although I voted for December 11th, there is a very strong case to be made for December 7th as well. As soon as the U.S. in in the war, with the UK as co-belligerent against Japan, Hitler is put into the classic Catch 22. He can leave the U.S. alone, but that doesn't mean the U.S. has to leave...
  17. Public Reaction If JFK Assassination Was An 'Inside Job'?

    Not another JFK conspiracy guy. Looks at the link... Aw Jeez... For "proof" you link to a site that, quite literally, proclaims Obama is the ANTICHRIST. Seriously? This is not a site to trot out insane theories. You get ONE chance on this infraction. This is that chance. Run out either this...
  18. When did Nazi Germany definitely lose WW2?

    Losing the BoB made the end against the UK/Commonwealth at best a draw. The UK was, on its own, very unlikely to be able to invade Germany, same went for the Reich and the UK. Best case for the Reich was a deal that got the British off their backs. The size of the USSR was a large portion of...
  19. When did Nazi Germany definitely lose WW2?

    I went with the minute he decided that fighting three of the four largest economies on Earth, which controlled around 2/3 of the warmaking potential of the entire planet was a good idea. Still, failing in the BoB more or less ensured that the Reich could not win. Sealowe was never a winner, but...
