They did near everything but explode, which can be a definite disadvantage. Everything but the trigger mechanisms was solid, but that's like...
Very true.
The radar integration portion of fire-control on the Iowa class battleships far outclassed anything the Yamato (or any Japanese ship) had. Even...
I've never read that there was any refusal to send 76mm Shermans to the Pacific, but then again I've never seen a photo of one there. It makes...
The SU-76 had a host of problems, ranging from lack of mechanical reliability in the early models, to the driver sitting next to the engine with...
With enough air superiority I think it would have been possible despite the Royal Navy. Air superiority would have provided the mobile artillery...

The Russian SU-76 was widely hated by the Russian troops. Why stretch it further and put it on a PZ III chassis?
Ah Greg, you are a candidate for detective. I guess it's time to confess, I carry a .40 Glock. I have previously carried an old Army .45, a S&W...

It's always darkest just before the dawn. Remember the greatest commanders flinch last.
Hey Corp, what problems did you have with Ken Burn's Civil War? I consider it a masterpiece, and I'm not always a fan of his (for example he...
Police departments in the U.S. switched enmasse to the 9mm during the 80's because of the high capacity (usually 15 or 16 bullets) magazines....
