It looks really average and totally underwhelming.

Edit: scratch that, watched more of the video and it looks horrible.

T-34. German tanks were the worst, they couldn't compete with what the allies had. Germany's only weakness IMO.

ROFL. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Germany had the most powerful tanks in the world. For every German tank lost, the allies lost 10 or 20, and the greatest tank aces of all time, like Michael Wittmann and Kurt Knispel, were German. The top German tank commanders had single handedly destroyed 150+ allied tanks in some cases. Kurt Knispel had 168 confirmed tank kills and possibly as many as 200. German tank design was decades ahead of anything the allies had and their tank crews were better trained and more experienced.

The T-34 was pathetic compared to a Tiger or Panther. The only thing it had going for it was that it could be easily mass produced. And American tanks like the Sherman were death traps. They were called "Tommy Cookers" for a reason.

The allies won by sheer numbers. Their tanks were crap and decades behind what the Germans were using.

Seasonic makes the best power supplies. The better PSU brands like Corsair and Antec are mostly just selling rebranded Seasonics. OCZ sucks, and PC Power and Cooling sucks ever since it was bought by OCZ.

You should get a Seasonic X650 or X750 Gold.

Also, the people telling you cheap power supplies are okay are wrong. The power supply is the absolute last thing you want to cheap on. A faulty power supply can literally fry everything else in your computer.

Your video card can't handle the game. Intel integrated video sucks.

When it's handled properly, it's a clean, cheap, and incredibly abundant source of energy.

Does anyone think that Mexico is a match for the U.S.?

BluRayHiDef

You're joking right? Mexico can't even deal with drug trafficking thugs. The country is pretty much lawless.

Part of the reason was that the Japanese navy wasn't really equipped to fight the US navy. Japan was essentially banking on the idea that the attack on Pearl Harbor would destroy all of the US's aircraft carriers thus crippling the US navy so badly that the US wouldn't try to retaliate. Unfortunately for Japan, their intel was off and all the carriers were out at sea when the attack happened. As a result, the US navy was still in good enough shape to steamroll the Japanese navy (IIRC the Japanese never won a single naval battle against the US). So yeah, it was pretty much impossible for Japan to attack the mainland. The Nazis were too busy conquering Europe and fighting the USSR to try to launch yet another war front on the US. Considering they were spread over three continents trying to invade a fourth one was simply out of the question, especially when said continent was across an ocean.gameguy6700

The Germans also had a pathetically weak navy with the exception of U-boats. That goes back to the High Seas Fleet being scuttled after WWI, leaving them with almost no surface ships.

Sure, they had the Bismarck, but the Royal Navy made short work of it.

The biggest advantage the US has over most other countries is that invasion is almost impossible. I say almost because it could still be done but it would take a massive effort. The US is surrounded by two oceans and two friendly countries. In order to successfully invade, they would have to either ally themselves with Mexico and/or Canada to use their land as a staging area (similar to how we used Kuwait as a staging area to invade Iraq in 2003) or they would have to have the most powerful Navy and Air Force in the world. The former scenario with them using Canada or Mexico is highly unlikely since they're two of our biggest allies. The latter scenario would mean they have the means to get their ships and planes all the way across the planet (depending on who's doing the invading) and then be able to sustain a constant supply line for their troops during the duration of the war.

This is part of the reason most people who have basic military knowledge laugh at the plots of Homefront and Modern Warfare 2, both of which had US land invasions where they were able to fly halfway across the planet to nearly annihilate us. Most civilians with no military experience don't know the logistics an invasion would take and just assume it's as simple as gathering a bunch of tanks, jets, and ships and attacking said country. Granted, there were attacks on US soil. However, you have to look at what kind of attacks they were. Pearl Harbor was a suicide attack, the pilots who attacked knew they wasn't coming back alive and their only mission was to cause death and destruction at the sacrifice of their lives. Alaska wasn't nearly as occupied and it was close enough to not be as hard to reach. The other missions were stealth missions or hit and run missions that wasn't at the level of an invasion.

Pearl Harbor wasn't a suicide attack. The Japanese had moved their aircraft carriers within range. Japanese pilots were very well trained and some of the best in the world at that point. The Japanese launched hundreds of planes and only lost about 30 of them. It was a massacre for the Americans, while the Japanese had minimal casualties.

Kamikazees came much later in the war when things had become hopeless.

The Japanese actually sent 8,500 troops and a small naval force to invade Alaska through the Aleutian islands but they were expelled a year later. Germany did try to recruit Mexico to attack but they never followed through, i think it was because something about the British intercepting the coded radio messages.

You're thinking of the Zimmerman Telegram during World War I.

The Germans had a weak navy, and the Japanese were over-extended.
