@alexjenner1108 Germany had NO CHANCE of invading the UK by December of 1941. you might as well debate "what if the green aliens from Mars had fought alongside Germany in WW2". Also, you clearly forget that the US Did invade North Africa in WW2. Also, the US Did invade Europe from North Africa, numerous times in fact. Sicily, Italy, and France were all invaded from North Africa. "with just American troops, with very long supply lines" you mean like the ENTIRE Pacific War? We had FAR longer supply lines there. talk about "Ignorance of Obvious Facts 101", "Lesson 1: Ignorance is Bliss". You really must have a college degree in Stupid.

@ggarlick46 "There was no way at all of the USA ever liberating Europe by itself, just the sheer distance and resupply, added to the amount of ships aircraft and troops needed would have made Dday a minor event. " yet the US supplied Russia, UK, US itself, and more in Europe. Clearly you've never studied US logistics in WW2. it took nearly 80yrs after WW2 to finally use up the leftover stockpiles of parts and equipment produced in WW2. and that was after much of it got scrapped when the war ended. The US produced so much stuff in WW2 it shaped the global economy until recent times. Clearly you've never seen how many warships, cargo ships, aircraft, fleet carriers, etc. the US had in the pacific in 1945. Clearly you never learned how many warships and aircraft orders got cancelled when the war ended, many mid-construction. P-51H, P-47N, Iowa and Montana class battleships, Midway class carriers, Victory class transports, P-80 fighters, F7F tigercat, A-1 Skyraiders, F8F Bearcat, F-82, P-61 Blackwidow, and much more. The US invasions in the pacific were even larger than in Europe. "Having no strong fighting allied country as a base in Europe( UK) to build up its forces, it would have been a disaster for the US." you do know the US first attacked North Africa from across the atlantic right? and then invaded Europe multiple times from North Africa. Without the UK we'd have stuck to a more southern assault.

@csjrogerson2377 A6M8 never went into production. can't count something that never went into production nor fought in the war as being competitive with allied fighters. P-40N was capable of 2200HP and over 400mph, which is 800HP increase over the P-40E at 1400HP and 378mph. And 2200HP is double the Zero. Zero increased by 300hp in WW2, P-40 increased by 1200HP in the same period. "Parachutes, radios, armour plate, selfsealing tanks, more ammo/gun, increased engine horse power." the japanese had those things from day one. they removed the radios at first, self sealing was added later and to aircraft where range wasn't such a factor. Zero and others always had armor, just not a lot. More so they lacked structural redundancy. and Japan's engines were always on the lower HP side of things compared to allied aircraft engines. and lack of structural redundancy prevented the addition of more engine weight.
