Aside from a nuclear bomb,what modern weapon would have ended the war sooner?
A spectre gun ship would have helped or maybe an apache.

Nerf? just the confusion and then the endless playability might have just resulted the forgiveness of our differences...

no? Fine, drones armed with Hellfires then.

One modern warship would probably do it.

Couldn't the Germans have shot down a drone?

I'd have put BAE in charge of German armaments with the first Tiger 11 ready to enter service by 1961, numbers reduced to 10 due to cost overrun and fitted 'for but not with' a gun.

are there that many "modern" weapons ? Ballistic missile, Nuclear bomb, guided missile, cruise missile etc are all products of wwII though the microprocessor has improved them no end.

An unlimited supply of cruise missiles and associated satellite guidance system would have proved decisive for either side.

If you just want to end the war sooner regardless of the victor then give the Nazis a few squadrons of F35's (or pretty much any modern fighter aircraft) and the war would have been over inside 18 months.

Air dominance wins wars so any modern fighter.

If you wanted to keep it on the ground then modern assault rifles would have made a huge difference based on accuracy, reliability and rate of fire.

Harrier as long as you could send it back with a stockpile of laser guided bombs.

I guess you could use an F-35 but I like the Harrier.

The German people had had so many rough years under the terms of the treaty that they voted for Hitler in democratic elections."Work and Bread" was the promise; bit like we will do for Alex Salmond 😆 Pies and Irn Bru!

Fast air. Any. The amount of damage a F35 could do would have only been limited by the amount of ammunition it could carry.

Nah, the Germans/Russians had those already

and most modern MG's are based on the German MG42.

Dauntless?!? The same type of ship that couldn't be sent to the Med during the Libyan incident because its weapons systems don't work very well and that keeps on having massive power failures?

Actually you are all wrong.

Satelite technology is the answer.

Access to military spy satelites and therefore being able to know the position and movements of the enemy on the battlefield would have been an absolutley massive advantage to the side that possesed this technology.

High tech weapons are great. But knowing where to send them is even better

I'd imagine an Apache helicopter would pretty much put a stop to anything.
I saw one at an air show this summer and got to thinking that if me and a rag-tag bunch of fighters were running around with ancient AK47S and saw one of those, i'd just give up. What'd be the point in running or shooting?

Given the only thing that kept Churchill awake at night was the Battle of the Atlantic .I suggest as a single weapon a nuclear hunter-killer submarine would have had quite an impact on the u-boat fleet. The Japanese would have struggled even more given their reliance on sea power.

And yet the guys with the AK47s seem to winning, or at least certainly not loosing.

Be good to bring the rules of engagement (or lack of) from WW2 to the present day.

From what I've read of the Russians in Afghanistan the Hind gunship was the thing that scared the mujahedin the most.

Whilst it is true that the Germans and the Russians had something akin to the assault rifle by the end of the war, bringing in something like the modern M4 or HK416 in the earlier part of the war would be pretty decisive.

Alternatively, bringing modern doctrine and professional soldiers at all levels would have a huge impact on the effectiveness of army with even normal era weaponry.

From a propaganda perspective pretty much anything jet powered would have had a massive impact.

70,000 pound payload and a ceiling that would put it out of reach of most fighters would have made the B52 fairly potent.

As cool as Apaches undoubtedly are a bunch of German 88's would still make pretty short work of one
