War Thunder - AMX-13-M24 "A Great Combination!"

The new patch has arrived! Lots of great stuff in this patch and some awesome features added as well. One of them you will see is the squad pointing feature that you can now bind to a key. If you are thinking about picking up this AMX / M24 Mutant Hybrid Premium, I would highly recommend it! I had a blast.

Could Sweden have withstood a German Blitzkrieg in WW2?

Arguably, Sweden managed to remain "neutral" in WW2. But the Germans did develop a plan to invade them in 1943. So, Peter Cadier has asked - Why wasn't Sweden attacked in WW2? Was it because they were secretly aligned to the Axis? And could the Swedish military have withstood an attack if they had been?

Confederate Ram CSS Albemarle

After the success of CSS Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads, the Confederacy decided to build a smaller ironclad on North Carolina's Roanoke river. The CSS Albemarle stunned the federal fleet before being targeted by the man who has been called, "the first Navy SEAL." The History Guy recalls the forgotten history of the Confederate ironclad ram CSS Albemarle.
