dtkozl posted:Lend lease wise the biggest thing for the soviets was shells, lack of artillery rounds was the basic limitation for them being able to sustain offensive tempo '43 onward. Without lend lease the soviets would have still won ww2, it just would have taken them 2 more years to do it. So you take that out of the equation vs the US and it is going to be a problem for Stalin. I've also heard (I think from this thread or its previous incarnation) that high octane aviation fuel would have been a huge issue for the Soviets had Lend-Lease been stopped.

mercenarynuker posted:My buddies started playing World of Warships, and thanks to this thread I was able to give them historical context on a lot of the boats. Also to warn them away from Regia Marina ships. Thanks, thread! WoWS boats are only loosely based on their historical counterparts, and WoWS game mechanics are only loosely based on how naval combat works in real life. Tell your friends to stay away from aircraft carriers.

I think steinrokkan did a Japanese LP (week by week?) a few years ago where he did this, and invaded Perth and Darwin, and then stopped in late 42 because it was just no fun beating the AI so badly.

Crazycryodude posted:It really got started once the Cold War kicked in, I think. Nah, the idea of the eastern hordes is way older than the Cold War. The concept of unlimited Soviet manpower burying the civilized West under a mountain of corpses is just an offshoot of similar thinking going back to the ancient Persians.
