autism and good work ethic

Terrible at statecraft and starcraft.

>tfw geman/Irish halfbreed.
Autism and No work ethic, 100% chance of alcoholism and depression.

...

Because we used to be interested in (scientific) progress, not like USA/Israel, they just want to watch the world burn and teach everyone that men are women and vice versa when they want to.

agreed

idk you tell me

this

autism gives you an edge that allows you to build things that are ahead of time. autism is also your downfall by causing your general staff to screech at each other and let incompetent retards like Herman Göring run your air force

Because they traditionally really like engineering and do it more than others, even when it is counterproductive.

For instance in WW2, every tank the Germans fielded was designed from scratch. There were no interchangeable parts between different tanks. Their tanks were fucking incredible, but they were always dealing with part shortages since they couldn't repurpose parts from one line to the next.

Germans are (or at least were) so good at engineering because they love making the perfect the enemy of the good.

You mean over engineering
Case in point that tank.

Except the V-2 was a military failure. It was a conceptual breakthough that other nations improved , but the weapon itself was a shit show that killed more factory workers than actual British citizens. Plus the device itself consumed the much needed fuel the Heer needed.

What is up with these daily German STEM threads?

Still good engineering.

Because arbeit macht frei, neufreund.

Mostly was a timing issue if I recall. They only finally had the v2 consistently working by the end of the war, too late for significant impact.

It doesn't help having infiltrators purposely give wrong info about a hit/miss.

Engineers always get the glory, while technicians are forced to make their stupid fucking designs work. So I'm guessing Germany also has a large pool of technicians as well.

This man does history. Learn moar nu-Sup Forums. It's literal traitors who neutered the effectiveness by the V2, couple it with some good Anglo acting, ubermensch back in Heiland thought their hitting their marks. V2 then usually lands at bumfuck nowhere like Kent

yeah, that's the German spirit. standing in the ruins of once thriving cities saying 'still good engineering'

And the other 44%?

haha!

They aren't.

A meme, mostly
They over-engineer the fuck out of everything, complex =/ good engineering
Anglos are better overall

over-engineering

Manlet syndrome. Their angry manletness from lack of height and getting laid resulted in a lot of free time to autisticly work on things. And since things like tanks are cool especially to khvs what do you think they applied manlet virginity to?

>Mutt being butthurt

Im fairly sure they intentionally make car engines overly complicated so they can jew you more shekels in mantainance, even airplane engines are simpler

This so much

Because you made this thread already and you were explained that Germans in WW2 were only ahead in rocketry, because they invested shitload of money and resources into it, and started in early 20's.
Are you autistic, or just a German equivalent of a weeb?

The British 17 pounder could nearly match the German kwk 43 in penetration despite being a significantly smaller gun. This is because British realized instead of making retardedly huge anti-tank guns they could just make better ammo and lo and behold they developed APDS ammunition. If it wasn't for the bongs German tanks would still be firing solid AP shot at enemy tanks instead of APFSDS.

Also, by "lot of money", I mean equivalent of Manhattan Project, according to some sources.
In exchange they killed a few thousand British and Belgian civilians.

Prove to me that German technology was superior. Prove to me that their aircraft or weapons or tanks were actually measurably better than their western counterparts.

Short answer:
>mittelstand

Long answer:
Lots of Germany was swampy and unproductive. They were economically and politically fragmented leading to low levels of centralization over the centuries. The French and British had strong states centres around major capitals.

Similarly to the Dutch they had to become craftsmen or traders to survive, but unlike the British/Dutch they didn't have the open sea.

So they'd buy amber and make jewellery for example

Also
>Prussian protestant enlightenment rationalism + centuries of Catholic centres of learning led to a flowering of science and the humanities

Centuries of this led to a culture of precision and and austere formalism. Also a signifcant jewish minority allowed German/Austrian cities like Vienna to flower as centers of scientific advancement

They had a lot of Jews. Once they kicked out or killed all their Jews their designs became shit. "King Panzer" lel.

Germany has always accepted the best and brightest

Just look at all these Syrian Hochqualifizierte migranten Hans.

Germans are like the dwarfs in Lord of the rings. Awesome engineering but doomed to die out.

Actually, Tiger II wasn't a bad tank. By the time they produced them however, such factors became totally irrelevant. Germans lost any chance of turning evading defeat in 1943 already, by 1944 it was just a matter of finishing the job.

It overheated and the tracks were crap. Of the like 500 they sent out, some obscene number broke before firing a shot. Unless Tiger II isn't the one I'm thinking of.

Since WW2

Maybe if Germany get that fusion reactor working in the Max Planck institute and start winning a few more Nobel prizes it will reverse Europe's rot

Teething problems, pretty much inevitable in any new vehicle.
>Statistics from 15 March 1945 show reliability rates of 59 percent for the Tiger, almost equal to the 62 percent of the Panzer IV and better than the 48 percent of the Panther that were operational by this period.[27]
However, biggest German problem were green crews. Speer notes this, explaining how new formations got priority in equipment, which also meant they wasted equipment quickly, while more experienced formations lacked it.

True French are very capable engineers.. Only competitors to Boeing. Italy are surprisingly good as well. They have a ton of contributions to the ESA.

They are and aren't good at engineering. They could come up with some pretty elaborate and ingenious designs/inventions. Then those dismal retarded soviets just took their tank armor, angled it to 30 degrees, and doubled the amount of steel an at-level round from an AT gun or enemy tank would need to penetrate to get through. This is something that didn't occur to the super genius Germans even with the Tiger I. Imagine a Tiger I with sloped frontal armor, it would have been even more effective.

The Panzer IV in the first winter in Russia needed their diesel engines running in order to power the electrical system which moved the turret. The temperature got so cold the fuel lines froze and their tanks were rendered useless at times. The T-34 in contrast had the ability to manually move the turret. There were no advanced optics, and early on they didn't have enough radios to go around. The only thing which kept the Germans afloat in 1 on 1 engagements with the T-34 in Barbarossa was their superior tactics, training, and communication. Once those started to break down the failings of the machines were obvious. The Germans are good engineers and they certainly are autistic, but in their history they've been BTFO by simplicity more than a few times.

Say whatever you want about the Tiger but
it's basic concept pioneered by the Germans (a heavy armored battle tank with an accurate main cannon that can engage from long range) still has proven to be the most effective design of tank. Look at the Abrams and Leopard

They only make them so fast to run away quicker

France is terribly underrated, mostly because French don't brag that much, and don't have rabid teenage fanboys who get their impressions from video games.

I must concede, it's quite a handsome jet.

those are american made cruise missiles on its wings, I know I made them.

ever heard of Vampir?

They got help from above.

So did I.

>Americans and Brits are already experimenting with idea of squad support weapons while krauts are still running around with their shitty K98s
The Germans invented the modern fire-team (squad of soldiers equipped with a heavy machine-gun in which the the rest of squad acts as support) this concept has been copied by ever military since

Hitler detonated a nuclear weapon first.

America dropped two on an already surrendered Japan.

>In 1929, Hungarian physicist Kálmán Tihanyi invented the infrared-sensitive (night vision) electronic television camera for anti-aircraft defense in the UK.[4]

I love the scout squad. I thrive in absolute chaos which is only achieved when 10-15 is fighting 100+.

220 once eyed us...that was a bit much and scurred me a bit.

Any source for this claim?

Notice his posting, he has some screws loose. Of course he doesn't.
Nor were Germans even close to making a nuclear weapon. Their calculations were way off.

they have to overcompensate for their lil dicks with large weaponry and sausage foods

Beautiful. I love physics. I am one, the 5th.

Germany didn't even have a semi-automatic rifle until the G-43. Germany was backwards as fuck technologically, it was only their tactics and doctrine that allowed them success.

why does the V-2 always get mentioned?
the V-2 was an immense waste of money despite the advances it brought
the V-1 meanwhile was extremely cost-efficient and actually cheaper than using a manned bomber
I think that it was Hap Arnold that did a study and found that the Germans would've been better off eliminating most of their bombers and using V-1s
we copied the V-1 and were planning to launch them from ships in preparation for the invasion of Japan

They traded in all their comedy chips.

Most all German tank crews has radios to communicate with the rest of their section. The Russians were still using flags at this time. The T-34 was superior to everything the Germans had in Barbarossa but like you said, tactics and training/communication proved to be more effective

You sure? You a physicist? I am.

Oh, and when you see a dimension others cant....it makes screws break.

That's the Storm Shadow
>Made by MBDA (EU group)
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow

The only non-Eu weapon on the Rafale is the Paveway bomb, which is far cheaper than the French equivalent AASM.

German philosophy of good engineering: Advanced specialization and top performance
Anglo philosophy of good engineering: Well rounded, value for money
Russian philosophy of good engineering: Nearly impossible to break down, can be operated by retard with no experience whatsoever, can be fixed just with a rock as an improvised hammer


As history has shown, the first one, despite producing nice cars, is severely lacking in times of war

well it already started in late middleages we built windmills, then metallurgy increased and german craftmen started exporting in late middleages german blades would already be shipped to other countrys and there mounted with fashionable hilt designs of the region,
germans built on the ruhr watermills to better process iron and smith it to steel(wrought iron gets homogenized so steel comes out bc carbon loss) which achieved far better steel than elsewere with cheaper price because a machine could make more steel faster with better quality, also the farmers at the ruhr would built their own grinding mills and take knifes and swords into commision to grind them blank,
in towns like passau the sword export became and all over europe buisness and main craft/ industry,
nuremberg became the holy roman empire german mechanix heart with several ore milss , paper factorys, wire works and on and on, first portable watches were actualy developed in this city,
also the mines got ever deeper and deeper and mechanized swinging ladders would bring miners and ore fast from the deep to daylight,

in short germany ever had a very large demand for skilled craftsmen for such things and they profitted from being inventors, german exports in arms and armor made a good living for skilled men and so they could have large familys, and since there were no foreigners welcomed in germany back then, we actualy just paid people good money.

Not when its an ally.

>why does the V-2 always get mentioned?
Because it was the first guided ballistic missile ever on top of achieving that without electronic computers or radar guidance

>Germany didn't even have a semi-automatic rifle until the G-43
What's your point? The Brits used the Lee Enfield, the Soviets used the Mosin, SVTs were rare to say the least considering the Red Army was famously sending soldiers into battle with a handful of ammo and telling them to follow a man with a rifle until he dies at Stalingrad.
The point I was making is the fire team is built around the MG42 (easily the most superior MG fielded in WW2) The Soldiers with Kars are there to support the two man MG Team

Deliberately ignoring the harrier I see. The mirage ballsack was a complete, and inferior, rip off of.

>muh MG42
>1200 rounds per minute
>literally wasting ammo

Its pretty obvious that German machines where for the most part not good enough when you look up which of those stayed in production after the war and MG42 is not one of them.
Pro tip, its just the V-2 and Me-109

They also introduced the Assault Rifle as a viable concept with the STG 44, copied by literally everyone afterwards.

England disagrees

ayy another one to stuff my bag

Mg 42 is still used today idiot
