No. I never said Germany is a superpower. Your skimming and generalizing from that.
Person above you said it best. You also can't explain geopolitics in one thread.
Germany is more powerful than the UK, not a superpower because of geopolitics. Germany would largely suffer similiar fate to you if they tried doing what you want to do though. |

Germany has powerful ties with France which puts them with leverage over the European core in the EU which is by far larger and much stronger than the periphery which is dominated by the UK.
Militarily one on one, that'd be interesting. Idk who'd win you both have undeniable disadvatages.

England-Island nation,Good Military Tech,
They both have numerous disadvantages but I think germany would have won the WWs if it didn't have sucky allies and have the rest of the world against it. |

Relations with the US is pointless in Euro politics.
In a world scheme its even more pointless since you would pit the UK directly against the US. |

Germany has crappy geographical location, their industries keep getting bombed and they are in the middle of a smashing zone.
England has the same problem minus the smashing zone but being an island does mean hell on high water in time of a de jure invasion and not dogfights |

What a base?
Entire German Army vs. 1 base
Derp who wins?
We're talking mono y mono so the commonwealth is pointless. England doesn't control the commonwealth and all the worthwhile nations are aligned against them so it is pointless to bring up. |

| I said their capital which is more or less in the center of the country which makes it easier to defend unlike london which is pretty close to the shore and could easily be taken by a mass amphibious invasion |

| In London, amphibious assault is irrelevant. They would raise the flood barriers. |

| How would germany be dead meat if its mono e mono? Germany has very few shorelines for amphibious assault which means england would need to use planes would could be shot down or use a ally(Which is not mono e mono) |

Notice I said if they attack first they win.
If Germany was attacked by britain they could blockade their coasts and choke them to death from foreign trade with America and asian nations then bomb all their industries and their capitial.

| Germany has the better land force which is all that matters since its only a hop and skip across the Atlantik protected by the new SysFa sytstem. |
