@LuqmanHM You then run into a huge manpower problem. Japan never could train enough pilots to equip those carriers. Most of the best trained ones were lost at Midway in 1942. That was the cream of the crop. So building more carriers has problems.

@louis-philippefink4688 The Arado, like it's USN counterpart the Vought Kingfisher was really a spotter, not a fighter. In the pre radar era, they were to fly and radio target info to the ship. The other duty was SAR of downed pilots. Plus the sea was too rough to stop and recover Bismarck 's planes even if launched. Thus a one way flight.

@louis-philippefink4688 It's a quirky idea. Just needs a better plane to do the job. The Japanese Rufe fighter is what you need. The Rufe, was a A6M2 Zero on floats.

@augustosolari7721 RN in 1943 attacked Tirpitz with midget subs. The damage, took months to repair.

@henryh.448 How about being blown overboard and becoming a POW in Vietnam? That is how powerful the guns can be. True story... https://youtu.be/zK8MA_YovU8

Ever notice the simple sounding questions are the most complex? Well, Randall that is a complex question. Is there "any possible" way to win? Yes.... But a lot of stuff has to go your way. Technical, tactical, logistical, political, etc.

@billhawk349 Exactly. It takes "alot" of stuff to go the German way. No code breaking. Adm. King being a jerk. No convoy system. The type XXI UBoat built in mass. No program to build Corvettes, SC, PC, DE or CVE. No, German side tracked efforts to the East. And so on....
