  1. well lets see....

    Das Boot- Just the best WW2 movie ever made

    U-571- Not realistic but I liked it, Lots of action!

    Saving private ryan-Duh a no brainer here

    My vote for the worst war movie ever made would have to go to The Thin Red Line, Whenever I cant seem to fall asleep I watch about half and hour of that film and it gives me the best nights sleep I would have in years. wink.gif

  2. I dont see much here to argue about. neither Germany or Japan really wanted a war with the United States even in the first world war germany didnt want the US to get involved.

    Why?, Because the United States at that time was the worlds largest industrial power. We had some of the best generals while Hitler mostly ignored his, Plus germany knew that for every fighter plane they put in the sky the Americans could put up 5, for every tank germany produced we made about 6. These figures are just my guesses though.

  3. About the question some of you had on would we use an atomic bomb on germany if we had the chance? Well if D-day had in fact somehow failed the germans would then be able to send their best panzer divisions to the russian front to halt the soviet advance.

    The allies would be left with no choice but to continue their offensive in Italy.

    Once the atomic bomb was developed the allies would wast no time in dropping it on Berlin and other german cities.

    I also think the allies were eager to test the nuclear bomb because they wanted to show the Soviet Union that they were capable of destroying them if stalin desided to take over the rest of Europe.

    This is just my opinion of course. wink.gif

  4. Ok lets say for a second that we play a PBEM game that is absolutly accurate in allied suppuriority. Lets say the year is 1945 we play as the germans. Under your command is one platoon of conscripted Volkstrom,1 75mm antitank gun, and two panzerVI's.

    After the Allies pound your position with P-51 mustangs and 105mm arty you go up against an allied force consisting of on platoon of veteran infantry, 5 sherman 76s, and 2 sherman jumbos. Plus air and arty support and lots of reinforcements.

    Now you tell me is this not a one sided game?

  5. I am not sure if this has been done or not but I think it would be intresting to see the 88mm tested on several versions of vehicals (spelling?) and light tanks at about 1000m.

    Because if an 88mm or even a 75mm for that matter hit near the tracks of a certain vehical it would as we all know disable it or cause the crew to panic.

    I also believe expeirience plays a crucial factor on the accuratcy of the 88mm. I would like to see test done on green units and elite units to measure out the accuratcy diffrences.

    P.S. I know my spelling is bad so please dont comment. smile.gif

    This is the experimental demolition tank t-31.

    The two outer tubes are 7.2" rocket launchers in a 5-shot revolver style launcher (carried 30 rockets), the center gun is a dummy gun, and it has two .30 cal mgs. It was fitted to take a dozer blade and a hull-mounted 50-gallon flamethrower as well, and it had a .50 cal mg atop the rear turrent roof....

    I'm still trying to figure out where one would sit to fire the .50 cal ?

    Well, I'm playing a PBEM with the great Paderborn Scenario.

    We both played it double blind not knowing what the map was about or what kind of stuff we had on it.

    Take a look at the following picture. There's about 20 seconds left in the turn. I hear a tank rumbling from my right, so I figure I'll send two jacksons, and two shermans to go put the SMACK down on what ever rolls out from the brush....

    You fill in the rest....
