If Nazi Germany had been faster in installing V-3 cannons aimed at London they would've won the Western front in a matter of days. This is a fact. Would've pretty much made everything in SE England uninhabitable and indefensible, making an invasion rather effortless.

This is just one of many little known events that could've dramatically changed the outcome of WW2.
>>
Overall the Nazis had so many bizarre and untimely mishaps it makes me suspect that they won in an unaltered timeline.

Nigga what is this even supposed to be?

Doesn't matter how many epin autistic superweapons you have, you still need more than fucking river barges to transport your men, their horses, and the supplies they needed across the channel.

Is this what Wehraboos actually believe?
>>
They don't have the steel or time for missiles and boats to haul their incompetent asses to England.
>>
>>3098276

The concept behind the cannon is pretty fucking basic.

Imagine if a rifle's barrel had additional mini explosions going off directly behind the bullet as it travels down the barrel, further accelerating the bullet to ridiculous speeds and giving it crazy range

That's an awfully large cannon you have there, hans. It'd be a shame if someone were to... bomb it.
>>
>>3098262
This is bait, right? Or are you just utterly un-acquainted with WW2?
>>
>>3098338

Just like with the V-2, the payload being deliver is pathetically small in proportion to the resources being expended to deliver that payload. Only with nukes would this sort of thing be practical, because then you'd have a payload that is powerful enough to justify the delivery system. Notice that long-range missiles weren't considered of much importance until the advent of nuclear warheads.
>>
I'm pretty sure they'd need a ridiculous number of those cannons to do any kind of serious damage.
>>
>>3098262
>This is a fact.

No it isn't.
>>
>>3098338
Unless you're putting sarin gas in the payload you're not doing much damage and the British will soon bomb your delivery system anyway. And if you do put sarin gas in the payload, Britain either

1. Drops the anthrax cakes, killing all livestock. Germans starve by the millions.
2. If they're feeling especially nasty, drop their airborne anthrax spores, which will make the entire country uninhabitable for humans or animals for at least 50 years.

Explain how the Germans are going to invade the UK in late 1944 and 1945, when hundreds of thousands of Allied troops are already in Europe and zerging towards Germany?

not it most certainly isn't, but even if it were Germany still loses

Can someone post quotes from the ww2 sniper that took out a group of female snipers?

>British anthrax

They always get overlooked in the >muh superweapons argument for some reason.

>spend a fortune and a load of resources building meme cannons
>the RAF just switch priority targets and bomb them to fucking pieces

Ah yes, great plan, surely cannot fail.
>>
>>3100348
To be fair, most of that was simply not bothering with the trouble of detoxing it. They only started attempts in 1986.
>>
no.

the V weapons were not effective enough to justify their costs.

same with the Tiger and Panther tanks, and a lot of their rocket and jet airplanes.

Germany at its peak, only had half the GNP of the USA during a depression.
>>
>>3098262
>muh wunderwaffen
how much better would the nazi war effort had gone if they weren't busy designing 12 million different prototypes?
>>
>>3103064

It's been said that the design of the tiger tank was being modified so much that no two tigers were identical, which made finding replacement parts a nightmare.

>mein fuhrer, we are fighting 3 of the greatest industrial powers on the planet at the same time. our strategic position is hopeless! we must try to seek terms of surrender before germany is destroyed utterly
>*autistic screeching*
>mein fuhrer, if you allocate some industrial and research resources to me, we will build great wunderwaffe that will turn the tide of the war. Inpenetrable tanks! huge huge rockets that will bomb the air gangsters in london! great bombers that will bomb the schmausen in jew york!!
>get to work

lol german "logic"

>>3103095
It the blitz of Russia was less shit, and more objective oriented, they might have achieved something.
If they had more nickel, and didn't kill their best pilots, they wouldn't lose air superiority.
Defeating UK is possible, as most of its colonial resources are possible. They never got over a sea sized river you can almost see over.

The only genuine fuck up is USA, which would eventually had done something after enough Jewish screeching or Japanese fuck ups.
>>
>>3103077
Not to mention all the different types of vehicles they plundered from conquered and satellite nations because they were too lazy to increase their own production.
>>
>>3098262
>t-the V-3 would'a done it g-guys, honest
Hitler invaded Russia in the winter.

Britain had a working computer.

These are important facts. If the V-3 had been finished, it would have still paled in comparison.
>>
>>3098262
Long range weapons don't really do that much. The paris gun did absolutely jack shit for the germans in WW1. Also, how the hell would they spot for it?
>>
>>3103166
>Hitler invaded Russia in the winter
stale meme
>>
>>3103166

in 3 days time it will be the anniversery of the start of barbarossa, and it's hot has shit. this is high summer bro.

that said, the time to invade is when the roads have stopped being a sea of mud, which i think is between late april and late may (a russian can correct me here)
>>
>>3103247

CORRECTION: it actually started on June 22 so by today's date they will be 28 days into the operation. they started the op the day after the summer solstice.
>>
>>3103064
They did not have enough fuel for the vehicles they actually built. The gas issue was the hard limit on the effectiveness of the German war machine, and when you realize that it becomes clear why they had so many weird side projects. If they had built another 5 thousand tanks by cancelling all that shit, they would have simply rusted in a warehouse.
