  1. Rearm the British Infantry for WWII

    If we're keeping to 303 due to the sheer amount what the Farquhar-Hill rifle, with an additional 20 years of development it could be some very solid. Not Garand good but likely better than the early German stuff.

  2. April 1942 Alternate Indian Ocean

    Tallboy most likely, but the effort to move a Tallboy capable Lancaster Squadron would be immense.

    Best bet is to use 2 carriers as club runners and one in a pure defensive set up, so carrying it's and the other carriers fighter squadrons along with a reinforced ASW squadron. Since it can still strike if required

    F5.34 right ?

  5. Dread Nought but the Fury of the Seas

    A twin 57 is likely as big the Sextuple Bofors

  6. Dread Nought but the Fury of the Seas

    If the Anglo-Japanese alliance is still good I wonder if the Brits may find out about the Americans bugging the Japanese delegation. That could blow the treaty out of the water.

  7. US Army 1938-42 sanity options?

    I don't believe so unless the US develop the 1919A6 with a view to making it more like a German MG in which the ammunition doesn't have to be carried separately in a can. And with the belt hanging out the side.

  8. US Army 1938-42 sanity options?

    I believe barrels and feeding blocks could be swapped since we made 8mm Mauser Vickers for Turkey in the late 30s.

  9. US Army 1938-42 sanity options?

    The key difference between a Vickers and a true Maxim like a MG 08 is that as said previously the toggle action is flipped so in the Vickers it breaks downwards. This has the effect of making the receiver smaller by about 30% as well as being lighter due to tweaks to certain parts. Ian from...

  10. Best possible british fleet for ww2

    Provide additional funding in the 30s to allow all the QEs to get a Warspite refit, get Repulse to Renown's standard and rebuild Hood. If also possible give the Nelson's they're rebuild too. The Rs will suffer so provide them as many improvements without taking them apart. Don't agree to 2nd...

    Does this save the Supermarine Heavy Bomber ?

  12. WI: Lancasters chosen for atomic missions

    In the excellent thread They Shall Reap the Whirlwind. A Lancaster Mk6 is designed which significant performance improvements, that should be suitable for an Atomic mission. Unfortunately I can't recall the exact specifications but iirc it was a more streamlined Lanc with 80 series Merlin's.

  13. WI: Lancasters chosen for atomic missions

    How would a Lanc Sliverplate work with Griffons ? Does that give it enough safety boundary to satisfy people?

  14. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Dowding wants training to be at the forefront do could see a greater emphasis on the Pathfinders and Mossies in RAF BC.

  15. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    An excellent choice but oh boy will the Air Ministry whine.

  16. Alternate warships of nations

    Yes provided you mount enough power you can squeeze as much speed out of a hullform as it allows which isn't usually the speed the vessel can move at as designed. In a previous thread there was a discussion regarding the claim post WW-1 by some RN ship designers that had the QE's had small tube...

  17. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    It all depends on post BoB politics, Dowding as far as I know wasn't too interested in the political aspect of high command and paid dearly for it.

  18. AHC: Better warships over the LCS?

    Would not say a flight 4 style OHP be viable ?

  19. Warships that should never been built?

    Or finish another Iowa

  20. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Considering his lack of production success the MB series are stunning aircraft both in performance and design. If only he had been given a little more time, or gone onto design some Jet fighters.
