So you're going to bankrupt your economy by hoping the British bankrupt theirs?
That would give Hood the unfortunate record of being the only battleship ever destroyed by gunfire alone. Unless we're also reclassifying the Kongo class battlecruisers, in this case Kirishima makes two.I would call Hood a fast battleship rather than a Battlecruiser
Don't forget the Battle of Tsushima. Plenty gunfire only sinking.That would give Hood the unfortunate record of being the only battleship ever destroyed by gunfire alone. Unless we're also reclassifying the Kongo class battlecruisers, in this case Kirishima makes two.
True. I was thinking of Dreadnought battleships.Don't forget the Battle of Tsushima. Plenty gunfire only sinking.
I would hope the Hippers were more powerful than the County class.
Aside from being newer (10 years counts for a lot in the 1920s/30s) they were 30-40% heavier. They were not Washington treaty cruisers.
German cruisers were often flawed in a number of ways, looked good on paper, not so good at sea.
Light cruisers had weak hulls, Hippers had unreliable machinery, all were short ranged for trying to fight the British or even the French.
I knows that Japanese took foreign gear but did the Japanese ever give gear to a foreign power in WW2?
Anything at all?
Invading a foreign country and providing technical assistance that way don't count.
As to your first statement, yes.Slippy slope whether Thailand was a Japanese ally or puppet. So not sure I can give you that one.
Will need a stewards enquiry if that is allowed.
As a full fledged member of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, did they have a choice?Did you know Thailand declared war on USA and UK?
All that and more had been revealed to me. Oh, btw, don't go by just the Adam's apple anymore.Did you know Thailand declared war on USA and UK?
The hidden face of the Axis has finally revealed itself.
And always check for an Adam's Apple.
Cool. I saw one in a hobby shop in Khorat.Somewhere I still have my 1/72 Ki-43 in Siam mkgs.
