  1. a different kind of wank, ships that should have never seen service

    Yamato class BB. Perhaps the worst decision made by any major navy in the interwar period. Mediocre main gun (a 460mm 18.1" gun should NOT have virtually identical shell perform ace to a 406mm 16"/50), poor gun directors, absolutely pitiful AAA, needed the entire South China Sea to turn and...
  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I find the term "cheap" insulting. I am a 1st Class Beta Unit!!!! :p
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I have a few other stories in the Writer's Forum. Endless Summer was pretty popular when I posted it. I also have Pacific War Redux here (currently resting until I finish this T/L). I also have a T/L on the actual Time Line Forum An Alternate Occupation of Darwin & a T/L lurking in this Forum...
  4. Armor: WW2 versus Modern

    Modern warship armor would be similar to what we use on Western tanks, probably backed up by good old Class "B" steel plate. The real advantage would be for deck armor and splinter protection. Figure an extra 30,000 -40,000 tons for armor (nuclear reactors are a wonderful thing!) with increase...
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Some support is always being sent. Some comes through Russia, although most of that gets stolen by one faction or another, some goes through the 'Stans with the same theft issues, although since it is a shorter trip less winds up getting diverted. Since the end of the Bombing Holiday, the RAF is...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I not competing, but yea, this is not a nice world. I can't imagine any Nazi dominated Europe world would be. Thanks for the feedback.
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Americans didn't cancel much of OTL shipping construction except for submarines and things like Tacoma class PC which no longer had a mission once the number of destroyers hit critical mass. Four amphibious command ships were purpose-built on Oregon City class cruiser hull designs...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Polish population, as is the case with the Ukraine's population, and those Russians who fell under Nazi rule, has been vastly reduced, not wholly eliminated. The Party has, as was the plan IOTL, reduced the urban populations with considerable success extermination through labor. This...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Nazis have not rolled over by any means. Things will get ugly enough to satisfy all.
  10. Nazi stealth fighter / bomber

    Just to pile on here (mainly because its another Luft '46 thread)...:D Flying wings before the introduction of computer controlled fly-by-wire control systems were REALLY good places for test pilots to die. Flying wing aircraft have some very nice qualities, even if you don't build them out...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Nazi's never believed that the Allies would attempt to invade after the debacles in 1942 (Dieppe, as IOTL) & 43 (the Channel Islands in a desperate effort to take some heat off the crumbling USSR ITTL). The few who thought otherwise, believed that any attempt would either be repulsed before...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies do have a version of Mulberry. I mentioned it in passing (the "cleverly designed artificial harbors off Red Beach and Rail") but a real port is a vital asset. Dunkirk was the best of a bad set of options, as we will see as the T/L continues. Regarding losses, it is not going to be...
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Today's update. Please note that a number of the ships mentioned in this post were never built IOTL. As always, comments encouraged. 19 Before the first wave of assault troops had reached the shoreline RAF Lincolns had dropped nearly three million leaflets over Dunkirk, Calais, and the...
  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Pretty much spot on. I have noted in earlier T/L posts, and in the background discussions here in the thread, that the Reich is following its clearly stated goals, including the wholesale slaughter of the Urban populations in the East and the reduction of the "Slav" to the status of slaves in...
  15. The Long Night Falls

    I think everyone needs to give this T/L a chance to develop a bit. It has been stated that it is a "best case" scenario for the Axis from the onset. Several of the assumptions being made are at the far edge of possible, but the reason for them is to, if the OP is accurate, allow for an...
  16. The High King of Montival (spoilers)

    That is what the claim is now. It was originally supposed to be a trilogy. With proper editing it would have been three book and not five (and counting). Stirling himself, on his Yahoo group a few years back, stated that it was supposed to be three books, not the soon to be six. Analog doesn't...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I could not disagree with you further when it came to the Nazi willingness to spend what it took to wipe out the Jews of Europe. Even as the Reich was falling IOTL the regime continued to give priority to trains headed to the camps over trains being used to supply the Heer or to evacuate...
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Never thought about it to tell the truth. With the time the Party has been in control, along with the fact that the French government is legitimately and dedicated Fascist in nature, it seems likely that the effort to hide things from their allies would have ended.
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The idea of a tourist to Europe is an interesting one. The easiest answer is, with the exception of Spaniards, Swiss, and Swedes or the occasional visitor from somewhere else in the occupied areas,there wouldn't really be any. Pretty much the rest of the world has aligned against the Reich and...
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    IOTL? The U.S. had already begun the massive build up that because the overwhelming war machine that ground Japan into the dust and armed most of the "free" world well before December 7th. The U.S. Congress went into a fine display of panic when the Heer cut through France in under a month...
