  1. That's what we did before we nuked Japan. We flew sorties just like the nuke attack runs prior to actually dropping the bombs to get the Japanese used to seeing planes. Was a flight of three bomber aircraft. One that had the bomb and two observer aircraft. After a while they saw those three planes and thought nothing of it. Then one day, boom!

  2. An object is going to reach a terminal velocity in the atmosphere. After which wind resistance won't allow it to descend any faster. So it really doesn't matter how fast it was going or how far it fell. Eventually it all hits the ground at the same speed.

  3. What we did was we paid off officers. We flew in plane loads of money and bribed them. War ain't cheap, you know? So we just cut out the middleman and simply paid the enemy off. You'd be surprised what people will do for a lot of cash. Just about anything.

  4.  @MrJdebest  yeah it's not like you have a choice in the matter. You take the pay off or they find someone else that will. They'll be wearing your shoes too. Because where you are you don't need any shoes. Can't do much walking buried in box underground.

  5.  @blowitoutyourcunt7675  I would think the determining factor would be what the object struck on the ground. If it's soft mud that would absorb the impact well.

  6. Americans in the Pacific theater were extremely well equipped. The infantryman on the ground could count on 1,200 pounds of supplies. His Japanese counterpart had to get by with 6 pounds. And that's why they lost and we won.

  7. No one landed at Calais. They flew bombers in a pattern that made it look like a flotilla was approaching. I think they also dropped window too? Window was strips of aluminum foil cut at a length that gave them a radar signature when dispersed in the air.

  8. You had to be some kind of a joker to ally with Bolsheviks.

  9. Precision bombing really wasn't a thing in WW2. Most bombs didn't land within 5 miles of their intended target. It was that bad. We made up for it by just bombing a whole lot.

  10. They tried to destroy German flak towers after the war and ended up just burying them instead. The structures were completely impervious. They buried them with the debris from the bombed out cities. So yeah no one blew up any flak towers by dropping some bombs on them. Being as they're still there to this day.
