The expectation at the time that the war in Europe ended was that the Pacific war would end about 18 months later. So roughly late 1946, if things went well for the allies.
I mean, it may sound reductive or simplistic, but what separates a nuclear bomb from just a really, really big bomb? If bombing civilian centers and factories is seen as a legitimate form of warfare, or at the very least an acceptable casualty, (as all sides had done in both World Wars), why was the nuclear bomb so different?
The United States had been bombing Japan for quite a while at that point, but it had been seen as a valid and acceptable form of warfare. The difference, however, between an atom bomb and a regular bomb is the level of destruction. But I would argue that anybody could have seen that bombs in the future would become even more destructive, and mankind’s technological advancements would lead to increasingly devastating weapons.
People had already accepted the horror that is warfare (with regard to bombing cities, as that was the status quo), but weren’t prepared for the logical conclusion to their beliefs to be displayed so forthright.
All the United States had done was to use a bigger bomb.
Am I the only one who thinks this battlepass sounds neat? I’m especially interested in the potential of the ground vehicle being a selection from old battle passes, there is some cool stuff in there.

No, I two prefer this, then locking unique things behind a grind you can’t do if you have a life.

There may be bad prizes and prizes that are not interesting
It is my hope that in the next or near updates, we get a rework for subtrees. With the rest of BENELUX, ASEAN, and Chinese subtrees on the horizon, we need to seriously rethink how these subtrees are researched. I found a good suggestion on how to do this, from @MAUSWAFFE

Yeah bringing back old BP vehicles is cool but that replacing the third vehicle is just lazy.

Yes lol. We’ll have almost all british ships
I would make sure that there are 3 prizes left and just add a box with old equipment
I’m really only interested in cool profile pics out of it
The purple hearts prepared for downfall was still issued to soldiers today
Actually i think they ran out about a year ago 🤓
That was still 78 years of non-stop military intervention, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan with much more being cared by casualties anticipated for a 6 months invasion campaign
so what have I missed
We went from 4 to 3 and now 2 new vehicles. Soon the BP will just be a premium vehicle you have to grind for lol

I would love to get the Nakajima G10N1 ingame. The engines were build and there was a frame, so there is plenty of reliable stats which they can use to make this thing.
Just like the Ostwind II and Russian bluewater naval.

idk how many times it needs to be said, but naval has different parameters for new additions and the ostwind 2 had a prototype, from what I have heard it isnt known if it had the guns in a side by side mount or on top of one another

It has a very detailed blueprint:
If everyone else gets these kind of bombers - for balance purposes - Japan could get this one.
