Re: 10 moments that changed the course of the war at sea
Sorry, I sent the message before than I liked. 2: The British found that the German system of Ground Intercept integration was a wonder of complexity, accuracy and skill. But also, time and resource wasting and inefficient. Well, that is an opinion. The Germans could have said the same from the USAA...

Re: 10 moments that changed the course of the war at sea
Hello to all ¡¡¡ Let´s see: IGNORE the performance of the aircraft - You had been the one which mentioned first the "problem" of cropped performance in the German Night fighters only because of the drag caused by the aerials. i have shown you that It was not the case. I don´t see the need ...

Re: 10 moments that changed the course of the war at sea
Hello to all and best regards :D You are ignoring the antennae and ACTUAL performance showed a very different picture, or else why were Mosquitoes with half a generation earlier radars able to hunt the German Nightfighters ? The explanation is not only in the radar aerials, It is on the engines and ...

Question abut document CIOS
Hello to all
I have a doubt about the CIOS document "The German proximity fuze". Where can I obtain it? (if it is correct, the nomenclature is: CIOS report ITEM no 3 file no XXVI -1 (1945)
Thanks a lot and best regards

Re: Foreign warships in the 20th century USN
The IX 300 was the cruiser "Prinz Eugen"" and the DD939 was the German "Z-39", and the DD935 was the German Flottentorpedoboot "T-35". Finally, the DD934 was the Japanese destroyer "Hanatsuki".

Re: Battleship Top Ten
... We can see that the final outcoming was to saturate of fire all the entire sky. No. There's a lot of firepower put out but it's a long way from "saturating the sky". Are we speaking of shell fragments? Or may be of quantity of shells flying around? Or of both? :?: In every case, it is...

Re: Battleship Top Ten
Hi to all :D The problem with the clock fuses is if they were set too early they prevented a contact detonation. I think we are mixing a bit various concepts. When an attack over a target in Germany (by example) was carried by “Heavies”, the “Freya”, “Mammut” and so other types of early warning and ...

Re: Battleship Top Ten
Let´s We will see: I seem to recall reading that the Germans would have been almost as well off or maybe slightly better off in terms of damage by heavy flak if they didn't try to time their bursts and just used contact fuses. What? :shock: :?: Almost all the heavy Flak shells made by Germany late i...
