    Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising animated chapters by FIXEDIT

    These are well worth a look. I wonder what FIXEDIT could do with a bigger budget! View: https://youtu.be/VVjdFBZCRQc View: https://youtu.be/zo8FhChnyq0 View: https://youtu.be/rTov2oSXR8M View: https://youtu.be/4irbMNQc8As

    What if Messerschmitt 210

    What if Messerschmitt 210 was produced based on V1 ? (Without any thousand modifications that made Me 210 a failure). I suppose that, probably an hypothetical Me-210A ( based on V1) could have been more success than real history of Me 210.

    Fate of Aquila had she survived intact WW2?

    So what the title says. Say that cme the armistice in 1943 the Italians are able to tow away the ship to some secure port. Or alternatively if you want things simpler Italian commandos do not scuttle the ship in April 1945 and the Germans fail to sink her on their retreat. Either way you have...

    HMS Hermes as Sea Control Ship

    The saga of HMS Hermes is well known. But it might have been different if the RN had followed the US example and kept her as an ASW carrier or interim Sea Control Ship. The US were introducing the S3 Viking on to their attack carriers but were keen to get as many to sea as possible. HMS Hermes...

    Which airliner should have been built?

    I love airliners but hate the whole rigmarole of flying today..So here is another typical UK 75 thread. British Airways became one of the world's largest operators of the iconic Boeing 747 and even painted and.even painted one up in the colours of their predecessor BOAC. Imagine if instead of...

    You have 40-ish million pounds to build a CV for the RN early 60s...what does it look like?

    Not something I think fits in the alt-F11 thread but related to it, kind of. The RN is going to spend 16 million rebuilding Eagle, picking Tiger saves about 20-25 million over F-4 combine those two figures as your budget to build a new carrier with a 30 year hull life rather than spending 16 of...

    Goddard's Experimental Rocket Plane of 1930 and the US Pre-War Rocket Revolution

    This is an alternative history of Goddard's historical liquid rocket launch of 1926 and the succeeding development of a fictional experimental rocket airplane based on Goddard's designs. The advent of the design and its governmental support ultimately leads to a change in the course of the US...

    Ju 89A in place of the Fw 200C

    I'm starting a new thread so that it doesn't hijack @airman's Do-19 evolution thread. Is the following feasible, plausible and reasonable? In this timeline the Do 19 and Ju 89 weren't cancelled on 29th April 1937. The Do 19 V3 and Ju 89 V3 prototypes were completed. 12 Do 19A-0 and as Ju 89A-0...

    What if Sweden/Saab went for a different set of design criteria for the Gripen

    This was a discussion that began in the Gripen thread, but rather than have this "what-if" go off topic there, I felt it would be best to have a dedicated thread here as it's an interesting "what-if" As we know.. the Gripen replaced the larger/heavier Viggen. its a small, light weight design...

    Ideal USAF air superiority fighter for the Vietnam War.

    As we all know, the USAF went into Vietnam without a dedicated air superiority fighter and suffered for it, particularly in the early years with unreliable sparrows/sidewinders, no cannons on the Phantoms, and inadequate BFM training. Que the arrival of the F-4E, along with better missiles and...

    Alt 1945 Nuclear Weapons fail

    Perhaps one of the greatest what-ifs of post World War Two history is what would have happened if the US and UK had succeeded in getting the Atomic Bomb to work? President Truman and Curtis Le May's round the clock bombing of Japan drawing on the destruction of Dresden by the RAF and USAAF is...

    Centurion chassis as a SAM launcher

    I was thinking if it is plausible to get a mobile launcher for either Thunderbird or Bloodhound missiles on a Centurion tank chassis.

    A proposed version of Corsair by Brewster

    Profile of the Brewster 639 (1942), an improvement project for the F4U Corsair which, at the start of its career, was a difficult aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. This project will not be developed and the British will have the idea of an appropriate angle of approach during landings on...

    The Rejectionist Repository

    My attempt to "Brasilianize" the Mapinduzi logo. A badly done NO Barbarossa timeline. A Greater/Longer Afghanistan. Considering Taliban aspirations I wouldn't be surprise if it becomes a reality ONE day. A collapsed Ethiopia someone did for me in alternatehistory,com. Another flag I...

    Ukrainian ASAT

    Ukraine doesn’t really have a military application for its access to space, could an ASAT weapon based on an old Soviet missile, commercial rocket, air launch, directed energy, or electronic attack be useful in cutting Russian space assets and forcing them into a better position to face...

    Franco-german super Caravelle

    So I was reading " concorde and the Americans" and one of the things that caught my eye was that neither Britain or France were each others first choice. Britain originally wanted to work with America inorder to build the first supersonic jet, but the Americans were set on there mach 2.7 speed...

    So, after my mom's fifth session of chemotherapy, things are...slightly but decisevly better, not only I got back to study for my last three exams but time to read what I like about : horror podcasts, alternate history and more. So, I browsed the net and I got inspiration from this article ...

    Replacing Canberra sensibly

    The English Electric Canberra became the UK's light strike bomber in both nuclear and conventional roles. It served long after it was obsolete in the face of Russian fighters and air defences. The RAF realised this and embarked on a programme to replace Canberra in the early 1960s. As we all...
