…there would be a few more
…there would be a few more
WOW…wait whoah, wow what ,what balrog ?
good points you raised Epiphany , what comes to my mind thinking about it is, Â “Unternehmen Greif” 1944 BOTB.
The plan was causing confusion in the rear of the Allied lines and to force the Enemy to give out wrong Orders. And that was almost exactly what happend. It was getting that far that American Soldiers distrusted their own men and in some cases even killed own people in the confusions.
Imaging small bombing raids combiend with dropped off Japanese soldiers causing confusions like that on several points in the U.S.
Like you said:
@Epiphany:
From a mere terror standpoint, the I-400 might have worked to make American’s a little more frightened and on edge. Â Japanese citizens certainly weren’t thrilled when Doolittle hit Tokyo. Â It isn’t always the amount of physical damage you cause; psychology can play a vital factor in war too. Â America felt invincible having not really tasted the war. Â Our reaction to being hit at Pearl would not have been the same to the Japanese knocking down the Empire State Building or the hitting the White House. Â Imagine those happening immediately after the Doolittle Raid.
I agree with Kurt that if the Japanese had specifically targeted things they knew they could destroy or that would seriously disrupt the war effort; such as bombing ball bearing factories or factories that produce batteries. Â If you can hit the right targets, suddenly you have real disruption. Â The I-400 could have afforded Japan some small measure of viable capability. Â Small in the sense that it wouldn’t win the war, but I think it would have definitely been worth the investment for the capability alone.
A war brought to the doorsteps of America would be a Horroable thing…Pearl Harbor was still a little bit to far away…
What if Germany won the battle of Kursk? Â
…then new Goals would have been to be set up!..
A win constitutes the entire encirclement of the Kursk bulge and destruction/surrender of the Red Army trapped inside?
Yes, leveling the Frontline and breaking out of it with again strong Tankforce Pinchers…
that´s the way i understood the questions!..It is clear that according to that time anything else would have been quiet impossible for the German Army to even think that a victory could possibly occur, German HQ was aware of that, but that was not the question…for mindgames sake and play it through this would be the next step. After a win at Kursk, to break out on several points again and gain Initiatve back…
1943 the German Wehrmacht was not the same like in ´41 ,The ´43 Wehrmacht was not used to win anymore but achieved more and more experiance in Defending and holding Teritory so the mass could flow back to prepare a new defensivline…
@Imperious:
Victory at Kursk would only buy Germany time before the next Soviet Offensive.
Germany would need a few more ‘Kursks’ to get anything close to 1941 situation.
maybe but like Octospire said, it would depend on the losses Germany would have on material and Men…If the Wehrmacht would be on the Initiative side and pressing hard forward like lets say 1941 it would have had almost the same effect and making the Red Army disorganised again, but it is speculative since the Tactic of the Germans allready changed and good ol´days of rushing were gone…
how is the handling of that game?..is it diffrent then on CoD?..I played BF Vietnam a couple of time but actually on the PC…I was actually thinking ´bout testing Bf 3 but wasn´t sure if it is worth the money…
Monopoly from time to time…
I would like to exchange some experience in the Call Of Duty fields…
For my self, I played CoD I,II,III, World @ War, MW2 and now MW 3. What I like on CoD is the handling of the Games but I don´t like the Spawn settings since this is were you sometimes get fragged the most…I would love to see a Call of Duty Tank game since I often enjoy the part in the Storyboard were you actually drive a tank, the handling is the best in World @ war…
@aequitas:
Sorry I don´t get it… :? :oops: :| :?
haha XD
I´m glad you switched your avatar pic  dij671 ,  8-) :-D
but for championsleague purposes, go munich   :-D :-)
so its kinda trying to sublimal message somebody and a few will be affected and some are not…I see, Like the rumor has it were it is been claimed that Walt Disney or his Company puts those sublimal messages almost in every Disney movie were one group sees only the sexual sublime, the second group the Hitleryouth S emblem and the third party nothing…
About the Mormons, I will make a big step arround Utah´s Mormons and Mormons in general…
I thank you for educating me on this Topic…
to Gargantua, eh where is he?..does any one noticed the lack of response?!.. :-D just fooling arround…I hope you see how much everybody in here is valueing you, so keep your good post coming…
3:16 the numbers of hope…
ok my bad , I jumped that totally…lets cut then out that Gargantua wasn´t that smart ,just a better reader then me :-D…
what´s the story ´bout mormons?..are they people you don´t wanna hang out with?..i lived in SoCal and Colorado and couldn´t complain about the people there exept the few nazis…
I want to know Garrgantua how you figured that all out?!..I mean you started to rattle on that cage and everybody else just jumped right within, only a few posts later you were kinda explaining that for once his writting was not proper, but hey ,so is mine and a bunch of others in here?..why did you assume he is mason or whatever?..what made you think he is trying to manipulate everybody in here…explain because I didn´t figured it ,maybe it was because i wasn´t looking for that, because basically I´ll try to give everybody a fair chance…i don´t believe in coinsidence that you just had a lucky shot…to me the whole topic is weird!..
I think the story about U-234 is one to think about…it hasn´t been confirmed yet only assumed…
what has swabia to do with prussia?..what do you refer with berlin? Gargantua???..
1947 the state Prussia stopped to exist…still tracks remain in whole Germany…most/allmost all city names were switched into polish city names, for example Danzig is now of these days G´dansk…I personally doubt that there is still a Prussian German left after the wild escape and purge of WWII…most people resettled towards the western eastborders of Germany…my Grandma made it to the south of Germany, she lived in the area of Königsberg before, but almost the rest of her Family was wiped out on the Kurisches Haff / Curonian Lagoon…
U can´t miss…uhmmm
welcome aboard or as I usually say …servus…
I accept!..Lost family members during the purge of the Soviets, they fled over the Curonian Lagoon…It´s a sensitive topic to me, on one half you have all the horrible things the Nazis were doing and on the other half all the things the Soviets payed back to the German civilians and soldiers…It is what it is, the ugliest things will come up in a man during war…Enjoy Peace, War will be horrible!!..
Then I´m defenitly out of this topic!…peace
