Ideal 1. 93. 0's- 1. German military equipment. Since I'm kind of a technophile, I made up a large description of all the ideal equipment a German military would have during the period where the nazis historically controlled Germany. Much of it is completely fictional, but I have tried to describe it in detail and keep it as realistic as I could, using only technology that was available or which could easily be developed. If anyone wants to, they can make suggestions or use this in their TLs; I won't mind. Overall Approach: Germany, in 1. This means that simply making larger or more complex weapons would no longer be introduced for the sake of sophistication as before. In addition, the complex cancellations and changes in requirements of weapons (which wreaked havoc on german development and industry) would not be carried out as in real life, meaning that there would be no need for stopgaps to be developed. Instead, a clear development path based on relatively fixed requirements would be used for weapons and other industries. For a start, things like the Autobahn would be constructed using more mass production methods across the board, unlike real life. The only exception would be dispersed industry which would be crucial to surviving bombing attacks. The other massive change would be the adoption of a military standard intermodal container very similar to the current ISO container, specified at 2. An excellent new design of standardized locomotives, the Einheitsdampflokomotiven, had been created, but there had been barely any produced to replace the aging, incompatible locomotive fleet. Worse still, even if production ramped up, it would still take decades to replace the old rolling stock, due to insufficient production capacity for new locomotives to fill demand. In addition, it was estimated that during wartime, the country would ideally have a need for 6. To fix this problem, it was decided to build a new locomotive works of unprecedented size in the Ruhr valley, capable of producing (using the most modern mass production methods) 1,0. Einheitsdampflokomotiven a month at full capacity. This was as many as had been produced in total since 1. This was an exception to the rule about dispersed industry and was immensely expensive, but it was well- defended with flak towers, and it proved capable of solving the rolling stock problems. It completely replaced all older locomotives 2 years after it was completed, and it could produce as many locomotives as the economy would require in war in just 5 years once up and running. Moreover, with the other plants freed from producing locomotives, they could focus on replacing the rest of the outdated and worn out rolling stock, replacing boxcars with container cars in the process. At the same time, the rail lines used by the railroads were also in a state of extreme disrepair. Not only did the rail lines need to be repaired, they needed to be upgraded to a new standard capable of handling 2. Einheitsdampflokomotiven. This could be done with much machine labor, but it was impossible to set up a dedicated factory to do this like the locomotive works. One Piece 508: Back to Our Captain!Instead, a massive sum of money was required to upgrade most of the rail network to the new standard, and electrify the main lines for high- speed and high- capacity trains. It was expensive, but required to fix the state of the rail lines. The United States Navy airships U.S.S. Akron (ZRS-4) and U.S.S. Macon (ZRS-5) were designed for long-range scouting in support of fleet operations. 1 When the storms of life are raging, Stand by me (stand by me); When the storms of life are raging, Stand by me (stand by me); When the world is tossing me. Even with the machines that saved cost, time, and labor, the Autobahn's completion was delayed until 1. Artillery/Infantry Weapons: Several land- based artillery units were developed differently than in real life. Many were replaced by different weapons entirely, and the entire development process would be much smoother and less complex, with fewer dead end or useless projects. The first new artillery projects that were introduced in 1. Coney Island - Rides & Shows List The material is copyrighted . Revised June 3, 1998 This ride list was begun by Professor Manbeck in 1995.

Original 'Power Rangers' stars David Yost, Amy Jo Johnson and Carla Perez look back at the series' first installment, how it's grown over the years and where it could. K 1. 8 and the 1. FH 1. 8. These guns had a modern split trail design and a large improvement in range over their predecessors, but with an increase in weight. While the resulting guns were satisfactory and served the Wehrmacht well, a similar design with more range was being developed in the USSR. Immediately, a requirement for a successor design was put out, which was to match the Soviet designs in range and light weight, if not surpass them, without resorting to expensive light alloys. The resulting design, the s. FH 4. 0 (muzzle brake added to real life s. DISCLAIMER: I am not a rocket scientist, merely an amateur that has read a lot of books.

FH 1. 8, but also the 1. K 1. 6. Its replacement was planned for 1. K 1. 6 for only a slight increase in range. It did not even have a split trail, and it was found to be completely inferior to the new gun- howitzer in development. These new weapons would however not be in service until about 1. Instead of developing a new 1. FH 4. 0, it was found that a sub- caliber 1. This negated the need for 2 separate weapons on the same carriage, with considerable production and logistical savings. Above: the 1. 5cm s. FH 4. 0 adopted to replace the s. FH 1. 8. At the same time, the 1. K 1. 8 and 2. 1 cm Mrs 1. A newer gun design was found to be more weight- efficient, and with new shell designs could combine the weight of the Mrs 1. K 1. 8 in a new 1. Haubitze 2. 5. This new design began replacing older designs around 1. On the other end of the weight spectrum, the 2 new infantry gun prototypes were found to have no improvements over their counterparts. The 7. 5 mm gun, the le. IG 1. 8, was a conventional box trail design which weighed 4. Grosstraktor's 7. By comparison, the Skoda 7. WWI as an infantry gun by the Germans, weighed 6. While it was considered somewhat flimsy by the Germans as a result of being a mountain gun designed to be broken into small loads, this feature required a special variant of the le. IG 1. 8 for mountain troops which weighed 4. In addition, its shell was about the same weight, its muzzle velocity was 3. IG 1. 8, and its range was over double that of the newer gun, 8,2. In addition, a modernized variant weighed 7. Still, it was enough to result in the le. IG 1. 8 being rejected and replaced by a slightly redesigned and strengthened model 1. FK 1. 6 n. A, which had a similar weight, range, and rate of fire. Many were actually converted from existing WWI- era guns, saving money and precious industry compared to building new models. The larger infantry gun, the s. IG 3. 3, was a massive 1. This design had a conventional box trail, and thus, had no intrinsic advantage over the earlier heavy howitzer, the WWI- era 1. FH 1. 3, which weighed just 2,2. IG 3. 3. This design was revised to lower its weight to that of the s. IG 3. 3s level, using advances in design and production since WWI, and was thus adopted as a dual- purpose howitzer and infantry gun in place of the s. IG 3. 3. Like the Skoda M. WWI- era stocks, again saving money and industrial capacity for other projects. By 1. 93. 6, however, the 7. Geb. G 3. 6, a mountain gun which weighed only about 7. M. 1. 5 or even the FK 1. A. In fact, it even had as much range as the intended replacement of the FK 1. FK 1. 8. With the addition of the gun shield, it replaced the model 1. Reichswehr. For mortars, the 8 cm design was found to be as good as any in the world, but a new 1. Finland that promised to provide very heavy firepower at the battalion level, the 1. Krh/4. 0. It was ready for service in 1. Reichswehr for battalion artillery. It was also found to make the 1. Nebelwerfer 3. 5 chemical morter largely redundant. This saved considerable design effort, since not only did the Nebelwerfer 3. Nebelwerfer 4. 0) was shaping up to be 8 times heavier, and still have less performance than the 1. Krh/4. 0. At the same time, the 5 cm Granatwerfer 3. Once again, foreign weapons proved a better option, when the Type 8. Grenade Discharger was ordered instead of it. It was a much lighter and simpler weapon, enough to be used at the platoon level. Moreover, its light bombs could be used as standard hand grenades, eliminating the need for the Model 3. Eierhandgranate then in development for infantry. There was still, however, a dedicated heavy mortar bomb developed for it, with no grenade functionality. Above: the Type 8. Grenade Discharger and accessories, adopted in place of the complicated 5 cm mortar prototype. Added to this was a close copy of the Japanese Type 1. Grenade Discharger under development, which was similar to the German Schiessbecher also under development at the time. However, unlike the Schiessbecher, the Type 1. Type 8. 9, simplifying logistics, and it used a gas trap system. This meant that grenades could be launched with regular ammunition instead of blanks. Its superiority over the Schiessbecher clear at a cursory evaluation, it was adopted alongside the Type 8. Above: the Type 1. Grenade Discharger, adopted in place of the Schiessbecher. However, there were changes made to the infantry grenade by the Reichswehr. Testing revealed that the grenade contained too much explosive and not enough shrapnel effect, so it was redesigned along the lines of the . This was to be supplemented by a fragmentation sleeve (Splitterring) when fragmentation was required. The fuse was also changed. Instead of a single 7- 8 second setting optimized for mortar fire, but too long for grenade use, the fuse was electric, and had 2 settings that could be changed by removing a small cap on the top of the grenade. This would change the fuse from 7- 8 seconds to 5 seconds, making it a much more practical grenade. The detachable propellant chamber was retained so that it could still be used as a mortar bomb. The smoke and flare grenades were largely unaffected. The 1. 0. 5 cm howitzers that were used were identical to those used in real life, but development was much faster, so that the le. FH 1. 8M was in service by 1. Geb. H 4. 0 mountain howitzer which weighed less and was just as powerful otherwise. However, the Geb. H 4. 0 had no shield and used many light alloys, so it was replaced in ordinary artillery battalions by the le. FH 1. 8/4. 0 after 1.
