I think the biggest factor was Allied Air Superiority. The Allies had total control of the skies over the landing zones. Neither the ships or...
That would be my choice, the best NF of the war.
^^^ Good post My pick of fighter armaments is the 20mm cannon.
I'm sure a lot of effort and resources was spent worrying about their presence. Sadly by WW2 the age of the Battleship was over. Its only real...
Agree with all the comments above. That was the point I was making I wasn't trying to say that the US had inferior squad setup, rather that the...
No doubt having better small arms is an advantage, but not as large as you would think. The Germans and English would of trained religiously with...
Spot on. A good fighter in the circumstances that suited it. Once out of its comfort zone it was not competitive.
P-39 was well suited to combat on the Eastern Front. It performed well at low altitude where the majority of battles took place. In Europe at the...
In no particular order apart from the T-34. T-34 (no.1 in my opinion) Sherman (I included Firefly) Panzer IV Panther (if not for expense and...
I hate to sound boring, but the best US plane of the war was the C-47. In fact it is arguably the best plane ever produced.
Yes I agree totally, however there were never enough of them over Germany to gain air superiority. The Mossie was the best NF of the war and it...
The German NF force was never actually defeated and they flew intruder missions over the British for the duration of the war. The British never...
There is no reason the Corsair couldn't have done as good a job as the P51. It had the range to get the job done and was an excellent fighter all...
How much in Australia should I expect to pay for a No.4 or No.5 Enfield?
Just thought I would give a different response to that one, just to make it interesting rather than repeat myself. Good sniper rifle!
It is an assault weapon, similar to BAR as said above. It isn't meant as a squad level weapon but can provide suppressive fire when needed. In the...
Everything he said should be taken with a grain of salt. As far as I'm aware it didn't see any combat. Totally stupid plane if you ask me, total...
I was about to say excellent choices then I saw the Do-335...why? Far better planes in the Luftwaffe than a project that hardly saw combat.
Trainer: T-6 Texan Fighter: Vought Corsair High Altitude: FW190D Transport: C-47 Dive Bomber: Douglas SBD Dauntless Anti Shipping: Bristol...
I'll kick it off! Sub-machine Gun: MP40 - relatively cheap and easy to manufacturer, but still effective...fires a standard 9mm round!...
