  1. Israel defeated

    The U.S. was embargoing weapons to all sides. That was back when the U.S. was actually hoping that the UN would work.
  2. Challenge: Allied Wonder Weapons

    But it such a good joke! Okay to be serious Ballastic Missiles: Simple. Give Goddard the money wasted on the Alaska class large cruisers. Have weapons by 1944. Air to Surface Guided Missiles: Gorgon Series I-V http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app1/asm-n-5.html or SWOD MK 7...
  3. Challenge: Allied Wonder Weapons

    Jjst think of what the Allies coupld have done if they were clever. You know, like taking on The British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States at the same time! They might even have come up with a high performance fighter with the range of a bomber! Of course if that had happened the...
  4. WI america was more prepared at pearl harbor?

    Check out my Pacific War Redux TL or Marcus' The History of the Malaya Campaign for a couple different views on this.
  5. Challenge: Allied Wonder Weapons

    See, that is what The Dean and Landshark are talking about. No one West of the Rhine was clever enough to come up with that sort of plan. Preposterous even to think so. WAY past ASB!
  6. Israel defeated

    Yes I have, and I've been meaning to talk to you about that! How DARE you be a reasonable Arab (and I suppose Muslim too) with national pride and reasoned discussions! @#@%^ :D:D:D
  7. Challenge: Allied Wonder Weapons

    I'm sorry. :( I was confused by Hedgehog ASW weapons, proximity fuses, code breaking, B-29s, Meteors, and, uh... oh yea, the Atom Bomb (in two different and equally successful designs I might add). Won't happen again. :p
  8. Israel defeated

    I am SO disappointed. I open this thread expecting to find people frothing at the mouth and I find... Reasonable discussion taking place!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: You people are RUINING this board!:mad: :p:D:p:D:p
  9. A murder in the Vatican

    You mean in addition to John Paul I?
  10. AH Challenge: US IrBMS by 1945

    Easy. The USAAF actually listens to Goddard's proposals and throws some money at him.
  11. Challenge: Allied Wonder Weapons

    By the ton. We were just winning the war so the need to throw half proved systems into the fray. The USN had its first pilotless bomb tested in mid-1942.
  12. The YAMATO goes into the Slot

    It won't change the outcome. The most likely result is some deeper holes to cover with pierced steel plating on the airfields. There is a chance that the Yamato is lost, but is unlikely. The Mk 13 torpedo was still having problems at the time and it was the most effective way to kill her.
  13. WI: Operation Ten-Go Never Attempted, Yamato survives WWII

    She doesn't get killed of Okinawa? She without question gets killed in port. Unlike the Nagato, which had been progressively stripped of weapons and items like her funnels and mainmast, the Yamato represented a clear and present danger to any invasion of the Home Islands. BTW: Saying the USN...
  14. America not in European War, how long before Japan is defeated?

    Not at all. The key to the Pacific War was, as has been pointed out, the speed that the USN could be built up. Until that force was ready, the war would be stuck in neutral. It is true that the Solomons would have been better with more aircraft, but even there, the limitation was mainly in...
  15. Star Trek Film!

    You probably have a few survivors. With any luck the green skinned ginger (who would have thought that THAT particular combination would have worked) is amonst them.
  16. Pearl Harbor attack.... one year earlier

    Not even launched, either of them. The Japanese are also still flying the A5M Claude. There were only 65 A6M Zeros at the end of November 1940. Most of the naval dive bomber were also D1A2 biplanes. The U.S. already had P-40s and a number of P-36 deployed to Hawaii in December 1941. 1941 is...
  17. The USA invests in the F-22 and variants instead of the F-35 JSF

    The armored aspect of the 'Hog has never really be used. If you look at 1991, the A-10 community was mostly kept over 10K to reduce the chances of "Golden BB" kills. There is no replacement for the A-10 in the pipeline especially since it took serious threats from Congress to abogate the 1947...
  18. The USA invests in the F-22 and variants instead of the F-35 JSF

    I have to say that your belief in the F-22 and disdain for the F-35 is puzzling, at best. The two aircraft are designed for entirely different missions and any reasonable variant of the F-22 would be hard pressed to perform many of the tasks being assigned to the F-35. The F-22, the day it...
  19. Earlier Nukes

    It is actually very difficult to push the nuclear weapon much further back in time than IOTL without a massive POD that greatly alters society. The keys would be to marginalize the Church's influence in the West and/or alter the basics of Chinese political and social life. There was a signficant...
  20. AH Challenge: Canada joins the USA

    This is, without question, the most ill informed statement I have ever read. Your knowledge of military matters, both past and present, the rather impressive record of Canadian forces, and even your knowledge of the events in Rwanda is stunning in its emptiness. I would go into great detail...
