Changing Destiny (Kancolle)

As hilarious as that would be, I need to point out that Patton's already a married man.
This does not discount the tank falling in love with him even if he does not reciprocate.
Yes, we have gone there.

All we need now is for Arizona to decide that being more proactive will place her as the flagship of Admiral Thompson's heart. Doing so by means of Kongou-style signs of affection. Meanwhile, Saratoga mucks with flight plans to make sure there's always at least one waypoint over Ari. She's watching, you know. She's watching.

One thing that would probably a bit of a mood dampener: Thomas letting slip (likely accidentally) to some of the Pearl USN Kanmusu that in his future they are dear friends (or perhaps... more :V) with this or that IJN Kanmusu and then that ship goes on to find herself facing down said IJN vessel. Feels and drama potential right there.
 
Hell, we've got plenty of potential drama in that regard with Thompson himself. I've mentioned he knew Kongou well, but I haven't mentioned exactly which others in the IJN he was close to...
 
Funny thing is, I can still remember when nothing I wrote had any real heartache or angst. Hell, ask the me of this time last year to write angst and I'd give you a funny look and say 'I can't write angst'. But then, I can also pinpoint when my writing style changed so drastically, from mostly happy-go-lucky adventure with a side of occasional feels to...well, what we have now. *sidelong glance at Indy and the Mers-el-Kebir omake*

And all I can say to that, is that Madoka Magica ruined me :p


(and that I really need to update Salvation. Damn it.)

MM ruined a lot of people. You are not the only one. :lol

I actually remember a writer who would deny to the ends of the earth and back again that he did not write fluff. Yet he wrote some of the fluffiest fluff that ever did fluff.
 
Man, the sheer hubris here is hilarious. Bismarck was decent, perhaps even good by Atlantic standards. But by Pacific standards? Not even remotely close. A pitiful AA suite is just the most glaring flaw. And compared to the likes of Washington and South Dakota--which were around less than two years later--Bismarck would be loltastically outmatched. To say nothing of the Yamato- and Iowa-classes.

I wonder how the Kriegsmarine expected to take on the Royal Navy with just a pair of battleships and a tiny number of cruisers. Well, that, and one low-quality aircraft carrier.
They didn't, not in 1939.
KM buildplans assumed peace at least until 1944-45.

Things like the H class battleships. They had the plans but never had the resources to actually build what they had planned. Same with carriers really it's not that they didn't know what they wanted to do they just didn't have the spare resources to do it.
 
No...?

That said, Thompson was friends with Japanese girls, with all that entails for his new situation. Unfortunately.

San Fran : Too cute. I'm going to burn out my powerplant at this rate and require an even longer stay at Pearl.
 
Which means you get front row seats for the most ludicrous battle ever seen between a carrier and a battleship.

I highly encourage you to egg them on.

San Fran (Pre-Pearl Harbour) : Yeah! And I'm sure Ari's going to win! Even if Ari gets disabled, she has the range and accuracy to sink her!

San Fran (Post-Pearl Harbour) : I-I'd rather not lose Ari, again...Damnit, I'm sorry, Ari. I... I won't fail you again. I won't fail any of you ever again. This, I swear.

At first, I laughed. Then I was sad...
 
... To be honest, if there's a german admiral gone back in time... I mean... a little effort could TOTALLY kill Hitler. And who can't like the guy who killed Hitler. It's the one good thing Hitler ever did! (I'm sure this is an exaggeration, he did technically create Volkswagen)
 
and himself too. Ensure your own safety and life first before others.
... Dead Hitler is worth like... literally all the bitches.

Jokes aside I was actually referring to the most nearly completely successful attempt to dethrone the Nazis without external powers being directly involved.

That being the ever famous, Operation Valkyrie. The reason hitler survived is the pressure wave alone simply wouldn't kill anyone who wasn't nearly right next to the bomb. Someone suggests adding a ton of shrapnel, or multiple bombs (though that'd be harder to orchestrate getting in place), and we have much better odds of a very dead fuhrer, and a deposed Gestapo.
 
There was more than one bomb originally, IIRC.

Even moreso , if someone hadn't coincidentally MOVED THE BOMB, it would have worked.

There was also an attempt to assassinate Hitler in March of '43 shortly after Stalingrad. The conspirators planted a bomb on Hitler's aircraft (disguised as a box of chardonnay for someone back home that one of the conspirators convinced a fellow officer travelling aboard the plan to take along). Everything worked perfectly except the last detonator cap... which failed for reasons that still remain a mystery.

It's been observed by many historians that Hitler had the luck of the devil.
