  1. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Not necessarily because many of the vessels sunk were unescorted loners. The Battle of the Atlantic was won in May 1943; u-boats were still doing OK in March.
  2. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    For the needs of this thread, let's asume that Yakovlev design bureau does the modification and testing. MiG-23 was a bigger, heavier and more complex aircraft than F-5. India (and others) can have a BVR fighter in the 'Soviet F-20'. MiG-29 is proceeded with.
  3. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Only that means given any evidence of more boats they'll only over estimate by even more right? I.e. the British prejudice that leads them to overestimate German U-boat numbers is a multiplicative effect on their estimates, not a hard upper limit. EDIT: sorry I may have missed the point you...

    I don’t think so but I am not 100% sure
  5. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    ...an OTL 1,100 to 3,200 an almost 3x increase which would no doubt give a more effective U-boat fleet, but that's not only a massive increase in cost*, that's a shit load more crews to find and train and replace (and train) when they die, far more pens, far more supplies and support. If you...

    I'd like to claim (also are women by law excluded from the Prussian succession?)
  7. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Really interesting timeline - and I think mostly plausible. My gripe is Austria giving up Galicia and Bukovina - especially under the rule of FJ. AFAIK he was proud of never having given up any part of his Empire without a fight. He died OTL in 21 nov. 1916 - after your proposed peace treaty...

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    "One hundred years ago today, the Russians capitulated and signed the articles of their defeat. It was our nation's greatest hour, and we have fought ferociously to defend what it meant- the heroes of this city know that all too well. May our children's children's children reflect in a hundred...
  9. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    How on earth did I miss it? Pulawski survives! We may end up with better polish aircraft. Case White may cause more casualties to the Luftwaffe. A few thoughts on the future of the Hellenic Air Force. In TTL, the HAF starts with more planes to begin with and a bigger industrial base (KEA). It...
  10. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    In the article I posted is the British reaction to German naval developments. Ironically they over predicted U-boat numbers! Partly on the assertion of prefab sub and partly on bias of teutonic stereotypes being uber organised. Goodall was warned of Bismarck's cheating, and ignored calcs that...
  11. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Ironic that Welles should look to Henry VI to care about Calais, when he spent his entire reign completely destroying the English position in France by supporting his Beaufort relatives over the Plantagenet dukes.
  12. AHC: a Labour majority government before 1945?

    Agree about the election timing, and in OTL Baldwin was very canny in calling an election of November 1935 - probably the optimum time for the government and the worst for Labour having just had a change of leader - Labour, Liberals and the press had expected an election in February or March...

    What If...Scotland beat England in that Euro 2000 Play-Off?

    About the sectarian divide in Scotland...not as bad as it is made out to be though (only in the west it is at it's worst) it is there though was starting to slowly die a death by that point at the start of 2000 with the rivalry being more IMO nowadays being about politics in some ways. That all...
  14. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Integrating Serbia into Austria-Hungary will indeed be challenging, but not impossible. This has also been achieved with Bosnia. When Serbia gets its own parliament, investments are made in infrastructure, education, etc., tensions will ease. Especially when Serbia is included in a South Slavic...

    This is the only TL I have read that makes me desperately want the party I support to lose an election.

    Can there be more Punicization of North Africa? . Can we see Punic speaking modern day Algieria,vMorocco and Libya possibly? Carthage had several big cities, there definitely were people to export
