  1. 东方红 (The East is Red)

    I can therefor assume you will shortly show Dr. Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and/or Hubert Humphrey as a deranged terrorist and possibly rapist? Or have Anne Frank and Oskar Schindler running a prison camp? I will again assume that you simply are not close to knowledgeable about these...
  2. 东方红 (The East is Red)

    Rosa Parks? Really? You are getting out on thin ice here. This almost certainly should be a kick, but I will assume that you simply have NO GODDAMNED IDEA of who you just impugned. You are on notice.
  3. Why was the IJN so inactive during 1943?

    Except for the surviving BB force (which was always held back awaiting the "decisive battle", not realizing that it had, in fact, already taken place on 12/7/41) the IJN was quite active. Both sides had been seriously thinned by the first year's combat. The IJN was down to two full sized...
  4. WI:Germans mass produce Fliegerfaust anti-aircraft weapon

    They wanted to make 4 MILLION rockets?:confused::eek: Too bad they didn't. Iron sight, 1,500 feet range, rather they had a million of these than a couple hundred MG.42 or 40 actual 20mm flak guns.
  5. AHC: Japanese Raid Major American West Coast City

    If you want the ships to get home it can't be done. Otherwise easy-peasy.
  6. AHC: Semi-Militarized Commercial Vehicles Commonplace

    All you really need is a seriously high crime or weak authority region. The limo setup is not really all that uncommon in general (although flame-throwers are a bit over-powered :D) in many regions, and are very common in Russia for really high wealth individuals. Up to the day it went out...
  7. 9/11 style attacks in the 1950s

    Effects would be minimal to moderate at most. Aircraft were too small, construction was vastly more robust. Many airliners were still propeller driven and carried far less fuel and tipped the scales at 1/3 that of the later jets. A B-25 crashed into the Empire State Building in 1945 at the...
  8. Late WW2 German Tank Infared question

    Welcome to the Board! :) The problem with infrared, especially early generation, is that it was only effective at night (more modern systems have good utility against some smoke, assuming the generator doesn't have additives that also obscure in IR). Armies didn't fight at night. Even if the...
  9. Hitler moves on Poland First

    He probably fails. The Reich needs the munition/arms production of the Czechs to complete the TOE (the Czechs used the same rifle caliber ammuntion, 7.92mm, as the Heer as well as a few matching calibers of tank and artillery ammuntion) armor and munitions it needed to pull off Poland. One...
  10. PC/AHC: Have Japan become like Nazi Germany in A/A-N

    I would say it can't be done. Japan, as well as the area that hoped to take under control, simply lacked the industrial infrastructure. Beyond the fact that the U.S. was going to grind them into gravel simply based on population and productive capabilities that are, to this day, remarkable, the...
  11. London Naval Treaty Work-arounds 1930 and 1936

    There is also the fact that, if retained in service, they would cost the Admiralty some of its already sparse funds. While they would have been handy in hindsight, the saving over 19 years might not be what you would expect. Even ships in "mothballs" require regular, near constant, maintenance...
  12. WI: Japan Further destroys Pearl Harbor

    As true of a statement as is to be found
  13. WI: Japan Further destroys Pearl Harbor

    Japan loses the war.
  14. WI: The 9/11 attack happens on 11/11/2002 instead?

    Not what the OP stated.
  15. WI: The 9/11 attack happens on 11/11/2002 instead?

    Going to be dramatically fewer casualties. 11/11/2002 was a Monday National Holiday. While Veteran's Day usually isn't heavily observed, when it falls on Monday or Friday it becomes a three day weekend.
  16. AH Challenge: Cars outlawed

    You actually necro'd an eleven year old thread, one that had ZERO responses when it was posted, and knew you were doing it? Oh, HELL no.
  17. AHC: Nazis Try To Answer Stalin Tanks

    Behold the glory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus
  18. Create your own version of the US Navy, 2015

    No funding limits? Heh, heh, heh... Combatants: 15 Nimitz/Ford Class carriers Air wing: 18 F-14 (ASF-14 variant) 18 F-18 E/F, 24 F-35B, 6 E-2D, 8 S-3B, 5 SH-60. F-18 to be replaced by unmanned combat drones in due course 18 Wasp/America class LHA. Six of the America class in...
  19. WI: Tiger tank with 105mm gun

    The 88mm was capable of killing all enemy tanks it engaged. A 105mm would have been equally capable, with even more power in reserve, but it would have been utterly unnecessary. This being the case it is actually sort of startling that the Reich didn't do it.
