  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Wow, a lot of comments in just a few hours! I’ll try to address some of the questions/concerns: @ Claymore – The estimate on total weapons is in the ballpark, although somewhat on the low side. So the Allies can’t glass all of Central Europe from one edge to the other. I see that I need to...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here is a special mid-week bonus update. Comments? 39 The initial Allied reaction to the massive chemical attack by Germany was, understandably, shock. The Chemical Weapon ban had been the one major “laws of war” agreements that had come out of World War One that had, in general, been...
  3. Nuclear plants in a US-USSR massive nuclear exchange.

    Actually, nuclear plants were secondary targets, to be hit after the enemy's missile silos and bomber bases. They would be targeted at the same time as other weapon manufacturing facilities. All nuclear reactors can be used to generate fissile elements and/or tritium, the critical components to...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Guys, please cut out the insults. Its a bloody story for cris'sake.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies do not have anything close to the Tsar Bomb (for that matter neither did the USSR, not as a deployable weapon), the need for such a huge weapon simply hasn't even been considered.
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I appreciate the feedback. As I noted, almost as an aside in an earlier response, the Reich ordered a boat to attack New York and another to go after Halifax. Both boats were lost, along with ten others (ITTL the boats sent to North America are a complete unknown since they failed to make it...
  7. What would contemporary Japan be like if they won WW2?

    What annoys me are posters who post utter BS and then insult other who call them on it. I am also annoyed by posters who imply that the Japanese were not all that bad as occupiers, and that simply do not understand the difference between surviving and colaborating. What REALLY annoys me are...
  8. M1 series cancelled, M60A4 project instead

    I remember hearing Hart on a Sunday Morning news show making the flat statement that the M-1 wasn't capable of operating in the desert because "you'd have to stop every 10 miles to shake out the air filters". Of course Hart was also a big fan of junking all the full sized carriers and replacing...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Well... Thank you!:)
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Water injection to boost power.
  11. M1 series cancelled, M60A4 project instead

    There is the also not insignifcant matter of the LeClerc not being introduced until 1991. The U.S. needed an M-60 replacement WAY before then.
  12. M1 series cancelled, M60A4 project instead

    This is extremely unlikely. The U.S. Army was late to the Tank vs. Tank club, but it became quite wedded to the concept. The M-1 was designed to stop the Red Army along the intra-German border. That was THE war.
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Without touching on the post war world too much... People are very much the result of their enviroment. If you are being raised as a "spare", and are clearly made to understand that by your own parents, especially your father, you will wind up being one kind of a person. If that isn't the...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Nazis are using their weapons in true strategic fashion. Show resolve. Unveil the ultimate weapon, albeit on what can be seen as a limited basis. Inflict casualties on the Americans. Make them see that the Third Reich is far superior to them in the art of mass killing. Cause them to...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Had the Nazi's fully succeeded their would have been missiles over Halifax and New York. The Allies have gotten quite good at the ASW game.
  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    B-66 is indeed an offshoot of the AD-3. As IOTL the XB-51 was tried and found wanting.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Here's the update. Comments? 38 The SS command was, if nothing else, observant. They had expected that the Allies would surge to the point of the breakthrough, especially with all the tactical airpower that it could muster. The Allies performed exactly to expectations. The air defenses for...
  18. WI: XB-51 chosen over Canberra?

    The B-57 also had 2X the bomb load of the XB-51 (B-57 = 8,000 pounds, XB-51 = 4,000 lb both at useful range), along with 2.5x the loiter time at twice the range from base which comes in handy if you are talking about a bomber. Strafing isn't a bomber's game, even a light bomber, its a ground...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Dammit!:mad: Now I have to revise the ending!!!!! grumble... grumble...

    Wait... You pried open the coffin of a thread that had been dead since 2006 to sent a comment to a member who's been banned since September of 2006? Don't do that! Calbear in Mod mode.
