You find yourself dropped in to your chosen country's General Staff a year before their entry into WW2. You have the knowledge you have today. How do you advise your forces to prepare for the coming storm?
You only have a year and won't be able to convince for total war mobilisation, but what changes would you make?
>Brits
>Army
- Get rid of Battle dress and issue everyone a cheapened Denison smock
- Start work on the No.5 as the standard combat rifle and develop the STEN/buy loads of Thompsons
- start work on the 6pdr and developing a tank that can take it as a main gun and uses the Merlin engine
- Put the 25pdr on an armoured chassis as an SPG
- Design and build an APC that can keep pace with tanks
- Develop proper combined arms tactics
- Use smaller, more flexible Battle Groups rather than Divisions, Corps etc
>Air Force
- Plow more energy into Merlin production
- Start designing the Hurribomber
- Stop fielding crappy, slow light bombers
>Navy
- Start work on Sonar sooner
I would start stockpiling food, aviation fuel and ammunition.

Well you can't enact them all - Jet technology is too much in its infancy to have an effect in the immediate term, there is no point trying to get the armed forces to adopt a new cartridge that would work in a semi automatic weapon in the time frame...

If you're talking Military Intelligence, arguably the Brits were pretty good at that prior to WW2, and had close ties to (and agents inside) the Nazi regime up until about 1937 - I believe MI6 was passing intelligence on Communists to the Gestapo for a while.
Much of the immediate buildup of manpower and material prior to WW2 was as a result of military intelligence from both UK and international sources.

>>29545025
Well, considering self-loading rifles weren't fielded by any of the mainstream armies (aside from the US) on a large scale until the last year or so of the war, I'd say they're relevant.
Now, having a super duper long bolt action is silly. The No.5 would have made for a cracking service rifle if it hadn't had its wandering zero problems.
And as i said, you have a year. A year isn't enough time to develop both a cartridge and rifle, then make it general issue and is wasteful vs developing a variant of an existing weapon.
>>29545035
Well, creating SOE would be a good start I guess... Maybe develop them hand in hand with what we'd now know as special forces?

-Replace Brodie helmet with a deeper helmet that offers better protection.
-Replace the the 303 British round with two new rounds: A rimless 303 calibre full-powered round for GPMGs and designated marksmen, and a ~6mm intermediate rifle cartridge.
-Convert Brens and some Lee Enfields (DMR) to new 303 rimless.
-Investigate design of new GPMG/LMG using 303 rimless and disintegrating links.
-Begin design and construction of new intermediate calibre rifle feeding from a 20 to 30 round detachable magazine (AR15 patterned? Al receiver permits fast machining?).
-Begin mass production of Sten as interim fix for assault rifle problem.
-Push scientist in right direction to develop HEAT and sabot ammunition for tanks. HEAT rounds then will go into a disposable M72 LAW light anti-tank weapon.
>RAF
-Drop loads of money on radar.
-Drop more on terrain radar for accurate bombing.
-Jet engine (might get there in only a few years with right prodding towards high nickel alloys for turbine blades - biggest technical issue).
>Navy
-Aircraft carriers. If need be, buy them off the US.
-Drop battleship production.
-Incorporate RAF radar onto ships.
-Helicopter for anti-submarine use (can it be done? might need jet turbine engines)
>General
-Purge Soviet spies.
-Point scientists in right direction to discover carbon is effective neutron moderator (this jump-starts Tube Alloys by several years, might get bomb by '41 or '42 with correct prodding and hints).
-Point scientists in right direction to invent transistor.
-Get MI6 looking for German G-series nerve agents. Germans may use nerve agents in response to the bomb.
>>29545188
Didn't think of carriers - I like it.
Just realised I forgot to mention in the OP that this is all for inspiration for a somewhat alternate universe WW2 when the allies especially didn't become total retards in terms of armament in the inter war period. I'm just throwing around ideas at the moment.
>>29545319
Carriers are pretty damn important.
I forgot guided bombs. They were appearing by the end of the war. It might be possible to develop a radar guided anti-shipping bomb. The ocean provides a very clean background compared to a ship.
A lot of the things there are reliant on my own knowledge of technology. They might not work for anyone else unless they're researching it before they ended up in 1939.

You guys are forgetting something the Brits did terribly for most of WW2, that being tanks.

-Ditch bow gunners, Commander is now the radio operator and give him a .30 cal
-Ditch rifled guns and adopt smooth bore 17.pdr with bore evacuator (SB version for faster tanks) as a standard armament
-Adopt and standardize APFSDS, HEAT and HE ammuntion
-Make tanks as crew-friendly as possible, with reasonable interior room, ventilation/heating, escape hatches for all crew
-Reliability and easy maintenance a big focus
-Make tank crews wear helmets for fuck sake
-Make use of sloped armour to maximise it's effectiveness
-Try to use as many parts as possible already being produced when creating new stuff
-Invest in heavy breakthrough tanks, look to the Navy for a good 6" gun candidate
-Invest in IR technology earlier
-Emphasize development on medium tanks and tank destroyers
-Develop and mass produce a cheap APC, like a bigger version of the Bren gun carrier
-Create infantry support versions of said APC, like a flame thrower, mortar carrier, medevac etc
-Create wire net SLAT armour that can be easily fitted/replaced to fend off panzerfausts and other light AT

If the IJA had a form of the AK, I think it REALLY would have helped them, especially in the jungles and in the mud and whatnot.
>>29545710
Brit tanks had higher casualty rates primarily due to a lack of head protection. They wore berets.
>>29545721
The 17 pdr Sabot ammunition was inaccurate partly due to the rifling, but it could penetrate a ridiculous thickness of steel.
>>29545758
Ok, but where those only from when they turned out ? If not, how did they get hurt inside the tanks ?
I'm not surprised senpai, the Brits are very stuck in their ways, arrogant, and refuse to see their incompetence.
>>29545757
Not really. Small arms having much of a factor in strategic warfare is pretty much a meme at this point. Short of having man portable rail guns or something like that, Japan was fucked the moment they attacked Pearl Harbor. They had no chance of winning the war.
>>29545780
If the carriers went down though... They might stand a chance maybe ?
>>29545772
>Ok, but where those only from when they turned out ? If not, how did they get hurt inside the tanks ?
No. Shrapnel and spalling were the main causes for casualties. Western tankers tended to fight with the hatch open for better visibility and air.

- Get plans for mass-production, like the T-34, deuce and a half, Thompson etc..
- Establis a competent intelligence network with agents whos sole mission in the war is to assassinate various people like Alan Turing and other key personel for the succes of the war-effort..
- Go to Libya and start plans for oil-production!
- Still blokade UK
- Increase research for Nukes and "Napalm"bombs. Also scrap most of the V-projects..

>>29545920
*they end up getting Executed
i would just give hitler the designs for atom bombs and have a long conversation with him while we did lots of amphetamines, a heart to heart. i would convince him of what i knew and i would win the war for the germans.
1. nukes. to be deployed against russians indiscriminately and against the british pre-emptively. stop america from entering the war with le world ending superweapon. identify and assassinate all american nuclear physicians of any value. prevent japan from engaging in war, or just have china and japan duke it out to keep them out of the picture.
2. teach the germans to make AK47's, and modern infantry technique that is common knowledge today but took many wars and much error to develop.
3. develop a more useful propaganda machine using modern day SJW style tactics that paint germany as the victim, which they were, so that's easy; broadcast world wide with ultra powerful radio transmissions our dream for a world where the west is not asked to commit suicide. engage america as allies if possible.
4. fast forward production of computers through knowledge of semi-conductors and the basic theory. use these computers to develop superior naval vesels, tanks, and long range missiles
5. inform them of which of their secret project weapons are retarded and pointless.
6. absolute high-road minimization of civilian casualties except in the cases of nuclear attacks on capitals, which would occur simultaniously and be done with a grave sorrow in public apology for what was necessary. attempt to convert, rather than crush.
7. convert patton.
europe becomes a single nation.

Not neccesarily true, you know how expensive it would be to field a semi auto rifle to an entire army?especially given the context that this happens before WW2 starts. Where would you get the budget / money to do that? especially when the last war was the "War to end all Wars"
>>29546712
>sabot shell for 75mm
Lol, that would be extremely inaccurate due to the short barrel. The HEAT used was extremely effective against Pz III's and IV's.
>76mm
Already has HVAP and is a rifled gun, so the idea of sabot goes out the window.
>>29546712
>cluster munitions
Given the already (comparably) low reliability of bombs, cluster munitions with 40's tech would be ridiculously unreliable.
>>29546828
>To add to this: don't use a radial engine in the Sherm, so it's not twenty feet tall
But that was the best available at the time. You need to understand that the R-975 radial was available when the M4 was being designed in 1940. The GAA V8 was available in 1942. The A57 multibank was available in 1941. You can't just say "Use this instead" when technically the alternatives did not exist.
Changing the hull to be lower profile to match the later engines would be a massive effort and would interrupt already constructed logistics and production lines locally and those receiving lend-lease.

Produce a licensed copy of the down-rated Merlin as used in British late-war cruisers? The main reason for slow adoption of the ground version of the engine was priority production for the RAF - get the US to produce it and put it in their tanks in exchange for getting a load to put in British-designed tanks and the situation is solved.

britain.
have another look at fuller, start working on a universal tank, accept that its going to be heavy but use merlin to get decent engine for it.
start prioritise merlin engines and the introduction of reliable 20mm cannon.
start mass producing something like the sterling SMG.
for tanks start with HEAT early same of infantry AT.
airforce wise plan for 4 engine heavy using merlins, approve mossie and barnes wallis heavy bomb designs and preferably some kind of cluster bomb, ditch the fairey battle and use mossie as light day bomber with hurribombers in support.
train arty crews and generals to be more flexible especially regarding the use of heavy AA as anti tank pieces as the 3.7 inch heavy AA gun is more than capable of knocking out a tank.
the 25pounder is great but more would be good and a HEAT type round should be developed if possible.
sonar and radar should be prioritised, and the older battleships put in yards for extensive AA improvement with the addition of lots of 40mm.
fleet air arm needs a new fighter and that new fighter doesnt need to be a twin seater, navigation can be done by the pilot, as for the RAF while the bomber squadrons need new planes so do the fighters, the hurricane is good but more spitfires wold be very good indeed and dogfight training needs significant imporvement with the adoption of the wingman system and the four aircraft flight being essential.
doctrine should emphasize concentration of force and aggression and the use of combined arms, tanks get radios and taxi rank style air support should be introduced as well as more flexible artillery support

The Nazis and Fascism (and their hatred of communists) had a lot of support all over the world, and lots of the people who found themselves in an occupied territory decided they wanted to further the cause and thus volunteered for the SS. This is where you get SS-Charlemange and the British Friekorps from.
The other side is press-ganged conscription. As in 'join the Wermacht or we'll kill you and your family'.
How would big ass tanks, like the abrams and leopard, even the type 10, have fared in WW2 ? in say the european or pacific theatre ? Would they get bogged down in the mud ?

I mean they'd have no fuel, none of the data advantages that modern tanks do... But other than that they'd rape face.
And if shitty WW2 tanks with insane ground pressure and tiny tracks could manage, why couldn't an Abrams or a Chally?
WW1 and WW2 are different wars, you know?

Invest more in CAS, and tanks that can kill other tanks

>APC's, IFV's and logistical vehicles built on this chassis.
>Implement 'Reliability, usability' policy, if it cannot overcome a wide range of circumstances with the minimal amount of parts necessary, it does not get built.
>Expeditionary forces comprised of SS officers, scientists, engineered and religious clerics travel across the world and setup factories, whilst maintaining communications with the third reich.
>Expeditionary forces do not maintain regular armies and equipment, but use techniques and machines suited to their environment.

But honestly it is pretty hard to talk against Hitler, see battle of kursk.
