    focus on RAF facilities

    1. britain had radar before the nazis
    2. the raf turned every flat bit of ground into an airstrip
    3. easier to bomb a city than a random field in the middle of nowhere
    4. those airstrips had aa guns and, you know, fighters in them

          Pretty much the entirety of alt-history requires people to just be absolute baby-brains

          That or magic

            Is there any actually good alt-history? I enjoy the genre sometimes because of just how insane and ridiculous it is, but is there any piece of media that managed to use alternate history in a way that isn't completely fucking dumb?

              The Temeraire novels are literally "what if the Napoleonic wars had dragons." I haven't read it in years so I'm sure there's some shit liberal takes in it (you follow an English sea captain as the main character), but it was fun alt history.
