  1. Best Bomber Aircraft WW2

    The Allies were fortunate that the H8K wasn't the standard that the Japanese used when building their bombers. Without question the most durable bomber (and arguably simply the best) aircraft the Japanese fielded throughout the war,

  3. Best Bomber Aircraft WW2

    Fighter-bomber - F4U Corsair Crowded field, but the Corsair wins out based on ability as a straight fighter and on bomb payload along with service life Medium Bomber - Mosquito Spectacular performance, excellent bomb load. Heavy Bomber - B-29 The first "modern" bomber. Simply the best...
  4. Its a Doomsday Device World

    You don't need to get an ultra massive single weapon, although there is no theoretical limit on the size of a Fusion weapon, it is more effort than it is worth. All you need is a total of 50 metric tons of Cobalt 59 as jackets on, or salted into a number of weapons that airburst ( the most...

  7. AH Challenge: Adolf Hitler Captured, Tried at Nuremberg, and Acquitted!

    Obviously. What reasonable group would have found the organized murder of 6,000,000 plus residents of occuppied states to be a crime. Victor's justice without a doubt.:rolleyes:
  8. AH Challenge: Adolf Hitler Captured, Tried at Nuremberg, and Acquitted!

    There is a better chance that Stalin would have asked Trotsky back to the USSR instead of having the NKVD wack him. If the Soviets HAD captured Hitler, we would have been told a story very similar to the one IOTL, except the number of surviving witnesses would have been very low (dropping to...
  9. WI japanese suicide planes were in use a year earlier

    The JNAF, in 1943, was more than capable of sinking American shipping without throwing away aircraft. What you did have in early 1943 was a lack of ways for either side to really get at the other. The IJN was training up replacement pilots (and subsequently feeding them into the meatgrinder of...
  10. The History of the Malaya Campaign

    Since you asked for some critique on the actual nuts and bolts… Bataan isn’t the ideal place to start a major offensive. The same terrain that made it a pain for the IJA IOTL (and in a couple other TL) works against you in a major breakout. With the Japanese shattered by the CW attack the...
  11. Meteor in full production

    Rather the other way around. The RR engines were the class of the world.
  12. Meteor in full production

    Probably less than you would expect. The Meteor, at least the first version, wasn't going to make a difference in any way that mattered to the air war. It had too short of legs to escort the Big Boys to Berlin and wasn't going to be any more of a force in CAR than the excellent Tempest & Typhoon.

    Yea, not the fastest things ever seen on the battlefield. 8 MPH top speed.
  14. what if Germany succeeded in developing an A-bomb

    When did they have the weapon? What is their delivery system? The V-1 & V-2 won't work due to payload constraints.

  18. Superfortress: Japan not nuked in WW2

    Why would the Soviets wait until the start of Winter to make their move? Stalin had agreed to move 3 months after Germany surrendered, a promise he kept to the day. Waiting does nothing to help the Red Army, in fact is is a serious negative since the flying weather will be much worse and the...
