Thread: Dreadnoughts thread on military history

alright, here's how it went down buff

IN short, I raplaced the P in Pags with an F. this was conceived out of and effort for good old male comaraderie. FAGs took the opportunity to act bewildered and hurt and Dread hopped in with the quick psychoanalysis of me which he does so well and in the end demonized me. I hope he gives real consideration in how he treats old nut and has a change of heart before Jesus comes back because I tell you what, Yaweh's not going to be too happy about things as they are now. I've forgiven him. I pray the good Lord does the same

Nut, I know you won't believe me, but I love you. I think you are a man of courage and convictions.

However, if you ever make comments about a man's daughters like that again I will show you no mercy.

Also, Sneakers, go post about animals or whatever it is that you do.

Nut ruined a good thread.

That is for the team of heavy-handed nerds to decide.

I think Nut has earned the right to contribute to any thread however he sees fit.

I like learning about history, Buff. Nut is trying too hard.

I think he's behaving the way he always has, but he gets more crap nowadays for whatever reason.

He needs an intervention.

Dread, tell us about the battle at Guagemala

alright I will contribute appropriately now. i am sorry for my earlier behavior.

I want to learn about the evolution of modern warfare. Like going back to the Franks and Charlamagne. those were the dark ages in Europe I believe.

Dear Dreadnought,

Given that the Messerschmidt 109 was a more agile aircraft than the spitfire and the Germans used more effective flying formations, how did the Germans lose the Battle of Britain?

Sincerely,
Sneakers

edit: Can everything be attributed to radar?

Good coordination plus masterful Command and Control by the RAF. They were fighting over home turf, so many RAF guys who were shot down were able to bail out and be back in action within days. Every Luftwaffe guy shot down was either dead or a POW. ME 109's were tied to escorting duty, which often ceded initiative - plus, agility in WW2 wasn't quite the thing it was in WW1. The way to beat a more agile airplane (which we learned against the Japanese, from the AVG guys of the Flying Tigers who learned it the hard way) was get height, come in fast, fly right through the enemy formation guns blazing, and keep going. Do NOT get in a dogfight with, say a Zero or an Oscar.

Excellent, Dread. A million salutes.
