Alternate Reality Campaign Mod

what would be even more wicked is to launch an atom bomb equipped buzz bomb from a Type IX sub modified to have a launch rail.

OK, Who's been talkin?



And incase anyone didn't know,
Germany was the first to fire missles from a Sub.
Both Submurged, and surfaced.
In fact, a unit to launch V2's was built
with more under construction at wars end.

That isn't news to me. I mean most of the early cold war technology was taken from German designs.

The righteousness of each side in the cold war was prosecuted by the products of Nazi Germany.

History is nothing but irony.

In July 1943, the idea was again resurrected after Germany had successfully developed the V-1 rocket. The Vergeltungswaffen 1 (Vengence Weapon 1) was an unmanned flying bomb, powered by a pulse-jet with a range of 148 miles (238km). It was designed to be launched from a land installation but the idea of using U-boats as a launch platform was proposed. The notion was to provide the weapon with mobility, where it could strike almost any city in the world. The V-1 however was a Luftwaffe weapon and the idea was again rejected.
