    The last battle fought on American soil was the Aleutian Islands campaign in WWII (the islands that come off Alaska and towards Russia). This is the only case in which a foreign power was successful in conquering land considered to be part of the American homeland. On June 3-4, 1942 the Japanese conducted airstrikes against the two US military bases on Dutch Harbor. On June 6th the Japanese made landfall on Kiska island, then Attu island on the 7th. The defenders were heavily outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed. The japanese then quickly established a garrison on the islands. They would hold these islands until The Americans would take them back in a bloody battle on Attu island in early April of 1943. In August, the Americans made landfall on Kiska only to find that the Japanese had completely abandoned it. Afterwards, the Americans would launch airstrikes on Japanese bases in the Kuril island chain so that the Japanese would feel the need to divert resources to defend against attacks from the pacific northwest, and thus divert some resources from the main front in the southern pacific.

    As far back as 1937 Japanese engineers were working on a ramjet and rocket powered interceptor prototype known as the "Kayaba Katsuodori". The project never produced a working protoype, however the design specifications claimed the ramjet would produce around 1,700 lbs of thrust. It was proposed that this interceptor would be armed with 2 x 30mm Ho-301 cannons in order to combat the American B-29s over Japan, but as mentioned before, the design never got into the prototype stage, as it was cancelled in 1944 in favor of another more promising, and less unproved project.

    the Nakajima Ki-87 was a japanese world war 2 prototype aircraft. It was powered by an 18 cylinder radial engine with a turbo-supercharger that put out about 2,400 hp.

  • The ''You`re Banned'' Game

    I hereby participate in the action known as "banning" against the one who is called "Michael" for the reasoning that this member of the homo sapiens species with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome is not verbose enough in the explanation of the reasoning behind his participation in the aforementioned activity

    You're pretty good at narrating OP.


    Fun fact: Starlancer was the first game I ever played as a three year old kid. You guys are old!
    My dad probably has some stories like that of EVE: Online. He was one of the original founders of one of the bigger clans there, (IAC), as well as some earlier predecessors. I always heard him talking about the drama with his clan m8s over voice chat. He left years ago though, some shit hit the fan, seems a clan he was in had a civil war or something and all his equipment he spent years getting was suddenly sitting in the middle of hostile territory, and he ended up losing a dreadnought he'd been grinding for for years. I used to play other games with his clan m8s though, like there was a few that would play CoD4 with me. They were pretty cool. They'd try to get me to prank my dad all the time. But yeah dunno what those guys are up to now, or if IAC is even around in EVE anymore.

  • What are you listening to right now?

    Quote from Ajay

    Heh, now I know where from these visuals are.


    Lyrical dissonance (the song isn't about WWII at all), but who cares, the action fits the melody.


    That one is okay, but I much prefer the original.


    I looked up the lyrics, yeah it's not directly about world war II or even war in general, but I think it could metaphorically be related. But as someone who doesn't speak Russian, I can't say for sure, you probably know better than me.

    Quote from Portalearth

    So don't pull turns so hard. You turn quicker when you reduce throttle. It will reduce the risk of a blackout as well as help you out maneuver the enemy players. I have played a few hours of War Thunder myself. It's a grinder, isn't it?

    <p>Yeah, but you'll still blackout if youre in a a6m, they really turn hard man. works better with things like my ki-87.</p>
