Too many advanced weapons that will never be used in this thread... I think I'll take the opposite side. Israel's chief weapon for the upcoming war:

A few pictures of HMS Ark Royal, the RN's last real aircraft carrier. I'll believe CVF exists when it starts to float!
The first two photos are of her in dock at Toulon. The 'other' carrier in the foreground is almost certainly the French carrier Arromanches. The last picture is from exercises in the Med around the same time (1960).

A classic plane synonymous with German WW2 air power, the fearsome Messerschmitt 109!

A gorgeous and swift machine, but with a weakness to AA fire, sadly.
Though, the P47 THunderbolt was the heavy hitter when it came to ground attack!

That may be so, but the P-51 saw service through to Korea, where it was quite handy for ground attack.
Thus, even though you can carry more in a utility, you still want to drive a Cadillac.

In this book-series I'm reading, World War (first book named "In the Balance") The Germans used that Gun to blow up the Invaders troop transport SpaceShips.Originally posted by CurtSibling
We have seen this guy before, but you have to marvel at the genius of German engineering!
This is the tremendous 'Dora' railway gun...a real heavy hitter!
They hid the Cannon with smoke, and the Aliens was trying to counteract the shots with Missiles, because they thought it was Missiles comming at them.
But the 80Cm in diameter Bullets couldn't be stopped by missiles, so the Germans blew up 2 Spaceships atleast. One of them carrying most of the Aliens nukes!
