We fought all the way from the start unlike cherrypicking USA ha

[Southpaw Stinger]

you think so?

i'd rather have those cannons though.

plus wasn't the messerschmitts faster?


i'll take the ****e-wulf 190 over both.

I know so.

And the Spits had to keep landing to re-arm during the battles, so they had their own disadvantages to overcome.

It's possibly the quality of the pilots that outdid the engineering. The brit pilots were defending their island where as the German fighter pilots were less experienced in actual combat, as it was the bombers that destroyed most of the French aircraft that were foolishly left on the landing strips out in the open.

The RAF hid their machines in fields covered in shrubs.

not by choice.

how many times did you placate hitler?

only reason you even declared war was because of your treaty with poland.

and what did you guys do while poland was being attacked?

jack ****.

declared war and didn't do ****. waiting in france hoping the huns won't come while an ally you were by treaty suppose to help got attacked.

and you did nothing.

just like in asia.

did nothing.

bombing germany?

let the americans take the tough daylight missions.

we'll take the easier night missions when we can sneak about like cowards.

better?

the initial german air force pilots?

or the initial japanese navy pilots?


the original japanese navy pilots were pretty good. made the zero feared.

after they were lost , their replacements weren't up to snuff.

It's nothing to really joke about though, is it? I wouldn't call anyone involved a coward by any means.
There's just different attitudes to war in Europe than America. America had always been away from it all and untouched where as the European countries experienced huge scale death and destruction first hand in WW1. So it's not surprising that the protagonists would want to avoid war by any means necessary.
And after the Spanish Civil War, everyone in Europe knew the horrors that aerial bombing would inflict on the large cities.

chamberlain was a fool.

luckily winston was still around.



i don't know what the horrors of aerial bombing has to do with england doing night time bombings though. night time bombing was even more inaccurate.

Chamberlain was a fool. The Brits and French should have made a move much sooner and struck first. Hitler broke The Treaty of Versailles by re-militarising the Rhineland and yet no one did a thing. Chamberlain was ignorant and just didn't prepare for war. In '39 there wasn't enough equipment in Britain to equip a single full division. The only thing we had an advantage in was at sea, but the navy had to be deployed around the globe to keep the supplies coming in.
So it took a lot of guts to declare war against an enemy that was better equipped, better prepared and frankly better lead. Although by then, there wasn't much choice in the matter.

And the night bombings were a psychological strategy above all. The bombers were no longer just going after military targets but also bombing residential areas too. Regular night air raids forced families out of their beds at night and into the shelters and left them tired the next day. Prolonged night raids lower morale and productivity. Completely fecked up the French.
