  1. Unknown Aircraft that could have been great .

    REALLY false assumption there. Namely that the Bug, even the SuperBug can do the job as well as the Intruder. They can't. Not on the Best Day they ever had. Intruder had double+ the range, 50% greater payload, and was nearly as fast as an F-18 when both aircraft are carrying bombs (the...
  2. Unknown Aircraft that could have been great .

    It was about 10% faster, and had the ventral gun. Range with a combat load was close to identical (510 mile combat radius vs. 500 for the TBF). Bad luck design. SHOULD be flying from Carriers today, along with the SuperTom 21. Great aircraft if the goal is to thin the test pilot roster.
  3. Fate of Israel after an Arab Victory in 1967

    They lose, decisively, and at best the country is a memory. At worst... unless the USN & RN intervene and establish some sort of safe haven, it could be very bad.
  4. What if U.S Army installs Norton I as Emporor?

    I would move this to ASB, but then I would have to close it there as being frivolous. Just save a step. Locked.
  5. The Most ASB moment of WW2?

    Off hand I would say that there were 44 days in July. :p Not sure that any of these are truly ASB. A couple would be shouted down here as "XXX-Wanks", especially the six week defeat of France and Dunkirk.
  6. WI: The battle of Dogger Bank leads to open war between Britain and Russia?

    As is almost always the case the how is much more important. It would decide what every other country in Europe did, or didn't do. Need the base reason for the POD or its rather pointless.
  7. Operation Navajo, the B-29 over Europe

    It is and it isn't. The U.S. had what it believed to be exceptionally good Intel before the Ardennes. They chose to ignore any of it that didn't fit into their preconceptions. The Red Army was no better (or worse) at seeing what it wanted. Stalin, in particular, saw and heard exactly what he...
  8. Operation Navajo, the B-29 over Europe

    Based on their Intel ATL it was the primary extermination camp.
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    There wasn't enough money to get Franco to fall in with Hitler. He and his cronies were making a mint funneling black market goods through Spain into the Reich. Spain also was granted all sorts of sugar by the U.S. and UK in the way of loans, grants and opportunities (plus a mainly blind eye on...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Is a quick snippet enough? https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=369811 :D
  11. Operation Navajo, the B-29 over Europe

    Just a little something I cooked up in response to post #6692 here https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=140356&page=349 Enjoy (I hope) One of the enduring debates regarding the Combined Bomber Offensive swirls around Operation Navajo. Almost as large a debate rages over...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Very true.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I know my opinion, but what everyone else thinks I can't say. IMO the loss of Stalingrad itself, in isolation, would have been a severe blow, but, in the end, survivable. The End of war stop lines in the ETO would have been different, as a guess the war continues into early, maybe even late...
