  1. Britain refuses to give back hong kong

    Is this a serious proposal? That the United Kingdom kill 40 or so MILLION people to retain Hong Kong, a location that is indefensible and unsupportable in anything except the very short term? (Take a look at the multiple sites the PLA Rocket Forces have weapons deployed, you'll probably be...
  2. Britain refuses to give back hong kong

    I like your new poetic side Adam. :D
  3. 1942: ME-264 bombs New York

    The U.S. retained a very large number of fighter aircraft along both seaboards, both training and air defense units, throughout the war, "just in case". Since the -264 (the ONE that was built) and the Ju-390 (both of them) were markedly inferior in flight characteristics to such advanced...
  4. Gloster Meteor vs. ME-262 Schwabel

    One of the few people I'm aware of who flew both the Me-262 & P-80 is Chuck Yeager. In his autobiography he has a brief piece on the two aircraft. In it he notes that the two aircrafts' performance was nearly identical. All that prevented jet vs. jet duels in the German skies was the Allies...
  5. German U-boats launch V-2's on New York in 1945

    Many years ago? I thought you were one of our younger members. If you remember things from "many years ago" you should know that the Reich came up with any number of increasingly insane plans to stave off the inevitible. You should also know that the plans were all BS, the result of delusions...
  6. The Aleutians War

    Shhh... I wanted to bet him. Radar is a surprise!
  7. 1942: ME-264 bombs New York

    And a couple AD-1 pilots shot down MiG-19's. Does that indicate that a 350 MPH piston powered attack plane is better than supersonic jet fighter? If the war had lasted until 1946 Germany would have eaten anywhere between 4 & 14 nukes. Lucky for them it ended in mid-1945. edit: BTW: The...
  8. M1A2 Abrams vs. Tiger II

    Probably 40, maybe 41 dead panzers. The one shot kill rate is only about 95%. I would like to see the look on the German's faces when that M1A1 scooted away at 50 MPH (assuming the crew has messed with, but not completely disconnected, the govenor).
  9. Gloster Meteor vs. ME-262 Schwabel

    Actually, when the USAAF tested the Swallow against the Meteor and the Shooting Star they found very little difference in turning performance, although the later MK Glosters and the operational version of the P-80 were both about 50 MPH faster than the German fighter.
  10. German U-boats launch V-2's on New York in 1945

    Impossible? Yes, Really. Germany came up with losts of half assed ideas, none of which made even the slightest sense and were as impractical as possum piloted fighter planes. Where do you keep coming up with these odd scenarios?
  11. M1A2 Abrams vs. Tiger II

    A MODERN smokescreen is somewhat effective (modern screening sometimes includes contaminants desgned to degrade IR), but WW II version would be as effective as Saran wrap.
  12. M1A2 Abrams vs. Tiger II

    Maybe. I read him more as a kid. He has a post in the question forum where he talks about his American History teacher (who seems to be a knucklehead).
  13. American Dissolution

    Without a massive nuclear exchange that leave cockroaches as the primary life form in North America? Sorry, no.
  14. The Aleutians War

    In 1941 there were no intelligence platforms in orbit, no global communications system beyond the reach of any proposed ground based ASAT system (22,300 miles is a LONG way up) that can not be jammed. Yes, the Banzai charge was such an effective tactic for the IJA, clearly why the IJA & SNLF...
  15. Barbarossa Alternate History

    Perfection isn’t necessary, but some sort of reality based situation is. Alternate history, at least as it is presented in this forum, isn’t some fantasy with rifles that never need to be reloaded or tanks that run without fuel. Luck will only take you so far, certainly not far enough to...
  16. M1A2 Abrams vs. Tiger II

    I think that you will find that the M242 disgarding sabot round from the M2/3 Brad IFV will punch right through the turret & side hull armor of a Tiger (or any other WW II tank) while having a 200 RPM rate of fire.
  17. M1A2 Abrams vs. Tiger II

    Why mess with the beauty of that original post? :D
  18. Barbarossa Alternate History

    Unfortunately??
  19. Stronger Dutch Navy in 1940

    In the end, not much difference. The Malaya Barrier was indefensible without adequate air cover. Some extra boats would be handy, but it is unlikely that the Dutch navy would deploy more than a dozen or so subs into the Pacific..
  20. The Aleutians War

    Well, this is a unusual way to start WW III.
