Scanning electron microscope picture of a microprocessor. I'm convinced we stole this technology from the aliens tbh.
Shit like that is why when you see in fiction that modern tech being taken back to like WW2 would enable the Nazis to reverse engineer it in like six months, you should automatically know it's bullshit.

As far as science in WW2 would be concerned, fucking microprocessors would be magic fucking rocks. They wouldn't be able to reverse engineer shit.

Not to mention that any digital devices that got brought back to that era would probably break within a week

Computers and 1940's era technology don't mix.
 
Good RADAR would have helped Japan out oodles. Good as in 1945 good.

No wait. GMO nitrogen-fixing maize. That would have made a huge difference if you had several years to turn a couple cobs into a food supply.

The problem Japan faced was that they had to attack Britain to get their Co-Prosperity Sphere, and Britannia did very much rule the waves at that point in time.

Ehhhhh. Britain had their hands full with Germany. The US Navy was a more pressing problem; that's where the whole "bomb Pearl Harbor to get enough breathing room to capture forward bases, and make taking them back so expensive as to negotiate decent peace terms" plan came from.

Really, if FDR hadn't been so anxious to provoke a war with Japan, I think they'd still be just fighting the Chinese by the time the UK and USSR, with US supplies if not troops, ground Hitler into dust.

Then maybe you end up with a China divided between Communist and "Democratic" spheres, with Imperial Japan "protecting" "Free China," and the Soviets treating a much-diminished Communist China as a satellite along the lines of Romania or Mongolia?

I need to plug these values into HOI3 and see what the scientific answer would be.


EDIT: Fuck, I forgot what thread this is.
