I had such an strong response from my 1st thread on a similar topic(with the V-1), I am emboldened to another 'out there' topic. I believe this...
thanks for the warm welcomes, did post one thread that was a topic that had been cooking in the back of my mind brndirt1 gave me a lot of useful...
As far the concussive effect being lethal all over the ship, probably not. Was thinking more near the blast epicenter. I think parts of the ship...
That is in the same line of my thoughts, though with a slightly different angle. The observed accuracy of the V-1 was in the context of the...
Pleasantly surprised with the feedback, I was curious what might come from the question. It would be interesting(if possible) to computer model...
That's the risk when you ask 'what if' questions. But I'm new to the WW2 boards. The warhead wouldn't be effective against an armored target? That...

The one i see mentioned was German, used with some Stuka and Focke Wulf prototypes. The Germans were well advanced in the acoustic technologies....
Actually, there was acoustic altimeter technology. It had been used on some aircraft prototypes for automatic landing gear. The barometric...
Thanks for the discussion, I tend to think you're likely correct. Just one of those odd thoughts I had to scratch. Now if a different method had...
No, the V-1 took some time to get up to speed. But it was being successfully launched while there was still a lot of naval activity. I have never...
That is probably true, at least for a typical 'shot'. Here was my thinking. Many would fail, i.e. the V-1 would crash into the ocean. Some(maybe)...
New to the site, and discussing WW 2 topics, but my interest dates back for many years. I'm sure most of us are familiar with the poor accuracy of...
thank you for the welcome fredleander, should have joined a board like this years ago, been a heavy reader of the ww ii histories
well, i've been lurking for a while, decided finally to do some posting always had an interest in the European theater of operations - mine is an...
