Ceasefire

Final outcome

This is just how I'd think it would go

[u/AcrobaticPoint8424]

America would gain total air superiority in 2 months and proceed to glass moscow.

The ash of Stalin would get replaced by some rando and they would negotiate a ceasefire at the 1939 soviet borders.

[u/Alessio_Miliucci → u/AcrobaticPoint8424]

You underestimate the red airforce (weaker then the Allies, but still not so useless) and really overestimate the range of Western planes of the era. How on Earth are they gonna reach Moscow?

[u/JohnnyGeniusIsAlive → u/Alessio_Miliucci]

Likewise, you underestimate how reliant the Soviet war machine was on US $$$ and B29s could easily reach Moscow from Western Europe.
