  2. Effects of both Hurricane & Spitfire designed to carry Oerlikon FF 20mm cannon from start

    I'm not sure the Oerlikon 20 mm is good enough a weapon to replace the light machine gun. One of the problem is that only drum fed option that was made available. 75 round drum with 7 or 8 seconds of fire. 8 seconds of fire is not a good option necessarily. 7 seconds of fire is nothing in...
  3. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    The Soviet union will take the Panama Canal using Panama.
  4. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    The British Empire ran on cheap Persian oil. The British didn't invade Iran just to transfer supplies to the Soviets but to secure control of their most profitable oil business venture to date. With control of the Persian Gulf the Soviets are going to be the main supplier of oil to the Axis and...
  5. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Then what did he want to do? The war could hardly have been won without them
  6. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    If Franco joins the Axis he will do so by invading French Morocco (as it almost happened in otl). This will make much more difficult for Petain to surrender to the Germans because one of the reasons for this surrender was the preservation of the French Empire. Even if Petain surrenders it's...
  7. Vivien Leigh succumbs to tuberculosis in 1944

    She died in 1967. Presume different actresses would have played various roles.
  8. UoBLoyalist

    Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    The Germans were nowhere close to a nuclear weapon. They were on the wrong bloody path. It was Jewish science. Why would they suddenly embrace that??????
  9. Better 20th Century for France?

    While a shorter and less costly WW1 can be desirable to avoid the worst of the losses in lives and money during the 20th Century, it runs into the risk of ending too early, leaving the Central Powers insufficiently weakened (especially if no nations friendly to France are created after the war...
  10. Mad Bad Rabbit

    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Central planning on the scale of an entire continent, with millions of people producing and consuming tens of thousands of goods and services is NP-intractable. Maybe it will become feasible in the future after we have quantum computing; it certainly would not have been on 1980s hardware.

    The elephant, the lynx, the two wolves, the dragon, the eagle, the griffon vulture and the bull.
    Threadmarks: The Sri-Lanka uprising: the Grizzled giant squirrel rebels against the Bengal Tiger

    The Sri-Lanka uprising: the Grizzled giant squirrel rebels against the Bengal Tiger After the Union of the British Socialist Republics surrendered to Allied/Central Powers forces on August 21, 1944, the 187-year British occupation of India finally came to an end, only to be briefly occupied by...
  12. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    I was picturing it as a bit more gradual than that. Not an Emperor waking up and deciding "Hey, I'm going to decide to throw my crown at the feet of these barbarians" and more "Oh shit I am about to be deposed, what if I cut a deal with the barbarians to back me". Similar to how Emperors won the...
  13. Jesus is born Judith

    What would have happened if Jesus had been born a woman named Judith, with all the passion and determination OTL Jesus had? That is, she is a very spiritual woman who wants to change the world and has the charisma and intelligence to do so. She sees herself, at the very least, as a new...
  14. What if the nuclear Negev Canal actually existed?

    On the bright side, noone would be fighting for control over the area anymore. Largely because nothing could live there. Then again....
  15. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I would recommend Paul Cockshott's Towards A New Socialism (1993). Perhaps a little too optimistic, but he actually talks about neural network applications towards economic planning. Marxian economist and computer scientist which is probably a rare combo.
  16. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    I feel like this is dramatically understating how much religious belief and practice has been influenced by political expedience in history. If the Muslims look to be on the verge of overrunning the empire, it's not inconceivable that something like this could happen in my opinion. If feels...
  17. LNSS

    Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    1960: The Soviets and the Germans split the moon between themselves, with Mars going to the Soviet Union and Venus going to the Reich.
  18. The Second Patriotic War - An Alternate Russia TL

    Brusilov offensive was something of a fluke with the questionable results for Russia and it definitely did not win a war. For Russian Empire performing noticeably better than in OTL you need to consider the broader changes: 1. Greater degree of industrialization including more attention being...
  19. LNSS

    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I can see the USSR investing heavily into AI research in the 2010s and 2020s, in order to have the economic planning be handled totally by such technologies.
  20. WI/AHC: Viceroyalty of Rio Grande

    I just realized the butterflies of what I jsut suggested: a russian Cascadia.
