  1. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    She could have been sailed up the St. Lawrence to act as Flagship of the proud USN "Great lakes Fleet" along with the USS Sable and the USS Wolverine. Their she could proudly train pilots and much more importantly ward off any likely Canadian Invasion.
  2. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    She was tough old girl, no doubt, but she should have been doing what Grandmothers delight in, getting the toddlers ready for growing up (i.e. become a training carrier).
  3. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Seconded - the British only recognised the new Irish state by 1922, and even then the Treaty was narrowly accepted by the Dali. Really, Britain will be fighting for years, if not because it's a useful distraction (from the German pov)

  5. What if Nazi germany managed to infiltrate the west important industries in interwar perior

    As I understand the German airframes were pretty good, but the allied engines were better. So I guess they'd be better of infiltrating the engine builders. As how it affect the war: whatever they do, they will still be outbild by the allies, fuel-limited and their trainingprogram lacks. So they...

    Alternate History Combat Aircraft

    Something original: Helwan HA 520, from a world in which Willy Messerschmitt's HA 300 is actually produced by Egypt and forms the basis of a growing aerospace sector. This one's got a lot of obvious Flanker and NA 335 influences.
  7. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    The Kongo class was built with a very different mission in mind, with a difference in armor being the most noteworthy, not unlike the later classes of British BC, with which they shared the same basic flaws. The Lexingtons were more of the "Courageous class" mindset, fast as a thief with...

    List of monarchs III

    What if Napoleon stayed on Elba? Monarchs of Elba: 1814-1824: Napoleon I (House of Bonaparte) [1] 1824-1844: Joseph I (House of Bonaparte) [2] 1844-1846: Louis I (House of Bonaparte) [3] 1846-1893: Louis II (House of Bonaparte) [3] [1] When Napoleon was defeated in 1814 following the War of...
  9. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Think the argument goes that a defeated U.K. really won’t want to get into a “COIN” type campaign so soon after losing a war.
  10. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    Thanks to everyone who's commented and liked this TL so far. I'll be covering the cruical by-elections of 1919 - Spen Valley and Manchester Rusholme - in the next update, in about 4 days or so.
  11. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    Well to be fair the Sara did have a hard war, torpedoed once, hit by 5 bombs and 3 Kamikazi attacks as well as having a lot of miles under her belt, but as you say, by the end she's 20 + years old and her hull material was just worn out.

    WI: Nissan without Infiniti and Renault, 300ZX maker buys Kawasaki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, and Isuzu until the last three, plus Subaru, gone dead

    I think if Nissan would avoid that kind of mishap they did [by establishing Infiniti and merging into Renault's umbrella] since many decades ago, about circa 1980s and [c.] 1990s... Then, in order to prevent itself [Nissan] from facing a corporate disaster, Nissan - which already owns Subaru -...

  15. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    That about covers them as a warship. As a surface combatant they turned out to be pretty good, although using too much of the limited available tonnage, aircraft carriers. They were on the "downside" of their life cycle (depending on how you measure it the were either 15 or 20 years old when...
  16. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Its okay mate the various treaties of the time are very confusing and its very easy for facts to get lost or misunderstood in the reading Pocket Battleships of the Deutschland class where built between 1929 and 1935 so their ordering and laying down etc predate Hitler coming to power so are not...
  17. What if Nazi germany managed to infiltrate the west important industries in interwar perior

    What if the nazis have done the following suggestions successfully at least in terms of infiltrating important and key companies in west and stealing useful tech and blueprints such as the Supermarine Spitfire or Douglas DC-3 or Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and maybe even a North American P-51...
  18. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I made this map about 3 years ago for an old timeline regarding proposed French civil war in response to a German victory based on the Spring Offensives of 1918. Essentially the failure of Paris to win despite the extraordinary casualties removes the hope of victory and thus the glue holding...
  19. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Agree with most of that. 5) Yes V2 is a bit underrated if that is what you are implying, in theory it gives Hitler his "retaliation", so he doesn't have to do stuff like his 1944 England Blitz if it would have been ready earlier, (and perhaps maybe the V attacks on Antwerp slowed port activity...
