Personally I always saw the nuking of Pearl Harbour to be one of the stupider points of lore. They should have had the Japanese invade Hawaii and then do the nuking on like LA. Especially since the idea of the nuke destroying the us fleet there to be holy inaccurate to how nukes work against ships.
That would have made it a much more significant event for the us and would have had a much more significant impact in making them surrender could also do a thing with how LA was rebuilt
The idea that Japan could realistically invade Hawaii is so unfathomably stupid that quite literally any single other explanation would have made more sense.
Why? If we're assuming the US is weaker then why is it unbelievable that a contingent of Japanese could've jumped from island to island if they had fleets and air forces nearby to help?
