  1. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    The Two Ocean Navy Act was more of a reaction to the Fall of France than the Japanese, although Japan withdrawing from the Naval Treaty was also an impact. The U.S. started building the South Dakota class in reaction to the Japanese leaving the Treaty (the North Carolina class was compliant, at...
  2. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    If they were going to do anything (which they shouldn't have) it would have been better to pull some 14" guns out of the stores kept as spares for the existing obsolecent 14" BB classes and done something like a 2x2 or even 2x3 14" (all the 14" BB classes were actually lighter than the CB class...
  3. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    Which, ironically enough, is exactly what they wound up with.
  4. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    I will try not to rant. :D The Alaskas were too big for the mission they were designed for, used about 90% of the crew of an Iowa, used resources that would have allowed the last two Iowa class ships to be completed. The Alaskas would have been treated as capital ships meaning they would...
  5. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    The CV-41 class would almost certainly still be built. They were designed to be the follow on to the Essex class and were actually ordered in late 1941.
  6. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    The mythic IJN cruiser that led to the disgraceful waste of steel that was the Alaska class were the Chichiba/Kadekuru class The non-exsistant ships were reputed to be 15,000 tons, 2x3 12" guns; they were more or less an IJN Deutschland class "pocket battleship". The Japanese actually mulled...
  7. AHC: Have all FIVE Yamato class battleships built

    Japan has to quite literally get out of China (probably be able to hold onto Manchuria) and do nothing aggressive until 1947. There were only two slips large enough to build the ships and each one took around 2.5 years from first steel to launch and an additional 14-18 months to fit out an get...
  8. Asia kickes the whites out of the American West

    Guess what? Racism is racism regardless of who its aimed at. ALL of your posts are at least mildly racist, with many being way past acceptable. My better judgement is to simply ban you and be done with it. However, perhaps a short vacation will serve to remind you of the rules. When you come...
  9. Perception of Communism after Nazi victory

    They don't count as Hungarian? Really? No, REALLY? Well, you don't count as member either. Banned.
  10. AHC: Make WWI not a bloodbath

    The difficulty with pretty much all of these is that they require 20/20 hindsight and/or revolutions in tactical and strategic thought quite out of the blue. The rest require technology to stop without any reason or for it to be vastly farther advanced at the start of the war. WW I was a...
  11. WI Russia completes it's Great Program and the Great War is delayed until 1917

    Might be a first. :) Thread moved from Chat to post 1900. Cool, never thought we could reverse the traffic. :D
  12. Best-case scenario without FDR

    Didn't you get tossed for this sort of bizarre conspiracy stuff like 7 days and 11 seconds ago? Cease and desist with this crap. Strike 2. Kicked for ANOTHER week.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Philippines and Vietnam.
  14. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Has this morphed into an "Invade Oahu on December 7th" discussion? Or is this just a quick side trip before getting back to the OP? Both scenarios are equally implausable, albeit for slightly different reasons, but are really two separate discussions.
  15. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    NOTICE! If you can not discuss the ISSUES without getting personally insulting, do not continue to post in the thread. It doesn't matter how silly you may find the idea, address the idea, not the poster. "You" statements are not going to do anyone any good. CalBear in Mod Mode.
  16. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    No. Just NO. I don't case how little you like the discourse, you DO NOT do this. CalBear in Mod Mode.
  17. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Don't be snarky. There are issues with the T/L, discuss them, don't get personal. CalBear in Mod Mode.
  18. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Oh My GOD! 30,000 Hawaiian Japanese that would help JAPAN? You mean the same men who formed the 442nd, the most highly decorated AMERICAN unit of its size during WW II? Men whose loyalty to the U.S. was NEVER questioned (unlike the action of an incredibly racist U.S. General Officer in...
  19. Yamamoto attacks Britain but not the US

    Half the posts here have asked this. So far no actual response beyond refernce to capturing enough from British IO bases, from vessels to be captured on the High Seas, and from Italian Naval Bases in East Africa.
