gradenko_2000 posted:I'm reading Harry Yeide's "The Infantry's Armor: The U.S. Army's Separate Tank Battalions in World War II" and what the gently caress was going on with American amphibious assaults? For the Normandy landing, the sea was very rough at Omaha since the beach was quite exposed to the elements, so they couldn't really disembark the tanks initially, even if they had been included in the first wave. Utah was much more protected from the elements, so the sea was a lot calmer allowing the tanks to be released as planned. I do agree that doctrinely speaking, having tanks/immediate heavy fire support in the first wave of an amphibious assault is a no brainer, so why it wasn't included in operational planning is beyond me.

aren’t pretty much all wars won by the side that wins “by default”, by just waiting out the other side due to superior morale or letting their broken economy take the out of the race? anyway that’s why the us is so strongly- *touches earpiece*’-hold on a moment

I do agree that doctrinely speaking, having tanks/immediate heavy fire support in the first wave of an amphibious assault is a no brainer, so why it wasn't included in operational planning is beyond me. It was included in operational planning, it just took years for enough LCTs and LSTs to be built and readied for Normandy. The other thing is, the Dieppe raid showed what a disaster it was for tanks to be stuck on the beach without engineering support that would allow them to get inland, so landing infantry and engineers first to clear beach exits was considered very important to the tanks actually succeeding, and their wrecks not creating and impossible traffic jam that would make the day's schedule impossible. The other thing is, I'm sure Gradenko could speak on it more, at Gela, Salerno and Anzio, the Americans were almost thrown back into the sea by armoured counterattacks by the American nemesis - the HG Division. Landing tanks would not necessarily have helped without those engineers, but landing the field artillery and anti-tank guns did, they engaged the panzers while dug into the beach, so maybe that was part of the rationale?

Since we're tangentially on the subject: I think a very, very good argument could be made that Nazis could have been stopped in Poland if the Soviets were allowed to fight them instead of being repeatedly told to gently caress off. We've discussed Czechoslovakia already, that probably would have been a bigger factor. But let's say Czechoslovakia still went ahead as historically. Germans actually had significant issues against the Poles. Victory against just Poland was pretty inevitable, of course, but it wasn't easy. Contrary to what one might assume, Poland actually had some really great gear entering mass production... entering is the problem. Only small numbers had been manufactured by that point, and the army in general had a mishmash of equipment inherited\looted from different nations after WW1. They were also in the process of adopting more modern fighters, having purchased some Hurricanes that had not been delivered yet by September. Those would have been a pretty big upgrade from the P11, which had an open cockpit and fixed landing gear. The actual fighting involved around 2 million German troops and 1 million Poles. The 1 million Soviets that Stalin offered would inevitably have made a huge difference, and certainly at least bought time for more weapons to be manufactured. This, in turn, may have actually encouraged the UK and France to do, well, anything. Basically, Poland could very well have been on the winning side of a war won by 1940 or 1941 if they weren't so enamored with Nazis.

Poland's interwar belligerence towards the USSR was only equalled by their belligerence towards everyone else. Where the Western Allies were concerned, by pissing off France by repeatedly knocking off equipment licensed or exported to them, so that France cancelled aircraft and tank contracts that would have provided modern equipment to Poland. Poland also did not offer support to France in defence of the Czechs, made overtures towards the Germans, and Poland was hostile to Romania until the moment the Polish government collapsed and they had to flee to be interred in Romania, then conveyed to France to form and army and government in exile. Because remember, Romania was part of the Little Entente also, and had considered coming to France and Poland's aid over Czechoslovakia, and then over Poland, only to be waved off by Poland being... Poland. I'll reframe it, if you were a diplomat in the late 30's, would you put your trust in Poland? Poland, which the Italians and French considered far more likely than the Soviets to invade the Baltic states, and which ended up invading the Czechs in 1938?

The Precision Shoulder-fired Rocket Launcher-1 also known as the (PSRL-1) is a modified American copy of the Soviet/Russian RPG-7 shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenade launcher developed by AirTronic USA. The PSRL-1 is primarily manufactured for US-allied nations who are accustomed to Soviet-style weapons and international export.

The soviets already had a magnified sight for the rpg and there's probably $50 rail adapters out there you could bolt a thermal sight to. They're just using cots pulsar scopes without custom reticles, talk about a grift! Lmfao it even weighs as much as a bog standard rpg7!
