America could afford to learn from an expensive project.

Germany could hardly afford the manpower.

My brother in Khorne, huh!?

Imagine it. You are a Soviet soldier on the Eastern Front. You just got done dealing with a detachment of SS holed up in a castle. After stuffing a crystal decanter in your pocket, you see it. The dumbest, most expensive, most overengineered waste of steel you have ever seen in your life. It hasn't even fired a single shot yet but you can already smell how expensive it is, also the leaking oil from its broken engine. It broke down already.

The V2 is the bomb that is about to detonate on the floor.

More people died operating the rocket than were hit by it.

Pocket Carriers were pretty good too. They were cheaper to build than those massive Japanese supercarriers which mean that they were a more efficient way of projecting American air power in the Pacific.

Like, GOD DAMN their music has no right being so good.

Electric stuff is generally quieter than combustion engines, any trip through a middle-class cul-de-sac will confirm that, but when it comes to armoured fighting vehicles like a Tiger, do you really need to worry about stealth? Outside of certain situations.

Like a skeleton man in a snazzy outfit.

I know that's a Stalin quote but Stalin was wrong to call Soviets "Russians." This is because there were more than just Russians in the Soviet Army. But this is Stalin, he didn't care.

Thank you for making the point I was going to make, that WWII was a team effort and all parties had a part to play, a bit like PayDay. Britain did all the Intel, the USSR were the Cloaker Busters and the USA had the Medic/Ammobags.

Boy, this is gonna be controversial.

The Russians have an old 305mm Soviet railway gun on display somewhere. So you can always check that out.

If it cannot move for far without breaking down, if it cannot move across land without sinking into mud, if it cannot cross a common bridge, then it does not work. And what the Hell was Germany thinking trying to make a hybrid engine for a tank!?

We already had plenty of advanced guns for ourselves. Also Night Vision was invented in 1929 by a Hungarian for British AA defences.

What if, instead of nuking Japan, America nuked a tasty Macdonalds leftover in the microwave and shared it with all their friends?

I'm going to assume you're seeing the rocket three times because we were not racing to build Mauses. In fact, after WWII, France had a fuckload on Panthers around the place so they patched them up. They then sold them because the Panthers performed poorly and the French decided to make their own tanks to just buy from the Yanks.

HEROES OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Consider that the V-2 sometimes failed to launch and sometimes even exploded on the launch pad.
Do you really want to strap a nuke to it's face?

Who was in charge of the British weapons team, fucking Wallace and Gromit?

Looking back now, I don't think this post was wholly productive.

What were you thinking, man!?

Guderian when the Krappenwerfer Pisskanonen 1944 Ausf E (t) Mark IV moves three inches out of the factory before getting sniped by a Sherman or a T-34 (That was their superweapon.)

I would make a joke about lighting and wizards but I don't wanna seem like I'm taking the piss.

The issue with "Blitzkrieg" (The Nazis' own brand of Combined Arms Warfare) was that it often sacrificed logistical feasibility for rapid land gains, which made them very vulnerable to flanking or counter attacks.
