Depends on if the available gun powders could support something like the .280 Brit. Remember powder technology improved dramatically throughout the war. Earlier powders were much faster burning and would have had difficulty generating a lot of pressure without a lot of powder volume. Burn consistency would also have been a thing. Many cartridges developed after the war made use of the various IMR powders developed in wartime for autocanon ammunition.
Depleted uranium sabot rounds would have take out the tigers and panzers
Head start on the Pershing would have been useful. Use the time to work out the myriad issue that tank initially had. Certainly shit canning our clunky tank destroyer doctrine.
You didn't read the rules did you?
They were enriching uranium in the late 30s early 40s so depleted uranium was available then.
You are talking space age bro.
Rip stop materials and thinsulate get rid of the wool.
Air power.
Forget the Woobie. How about the Snuggie?When WAS the woobie invented?
Arctic/antarctic theaters.
Yes, I'm familiar with the Battle of the Atlantic. You made is seem like you were referring to something less notable but as potentially important, you trickster you.
Well you don't hear about the Atlantic Theater as much as the Pacific or European. Sure the U Boats get a lot of press but not so much the tenacity and ingenuity of the British as the successfully combated the threat. So many movies focused on the submarine's point of view. How many focused on the willy destroyer and destroyer escort crews? A few, but not many. There is even less of a spotlight placed on the aircrews that would come to completely dominate the U Boats in combat.
Lend lease? Considering there were so many theaters of war during that time, it makes sense the focus would be on the theaters with the most victories. The Atlantic was almost lost if I recall, and Briton with it. It was however, the testing/proving ground for the bulk of our current ASW.
Good movie. The paradox being that had they intervened and destroyed the Japanese assault, the Nimitz wouldn't have come into existence.
My point is by force of will and virtuosity they turned things completely around. By the end of that campaign the U Boats had been rendered almost completely impotent. That is quite a story I think. Life and Death struggle on a macro scale. Going into the Atlantic theater with that knowledge and tech would have had a dramatic effect on the war.
They didn't have a choice. They would have run that into the ground because they couldn't lose that life line. It's just fortunate that we were able to come up with tactics and tech that effectively dealt with the U=boats.
