What was the most armed allied aircraft in World War 2?
A26
Can submarines shoot down aircraft?
Not anymore. In both world wars submarines were equipped with anti-aircraft weapons for defending themselves while surfaced, but they made the subs slower while submerged, and enemy aircraft usually stayed out of their range while calling in a destroyer by radio. After World War 2 submarines became streamlined to improve their speed, and their AA guns were removed. The prevailing school of thought is that a submarine has a better chance of survival underwater than trying to fight on the surface. The British Navy experimented with a missile launched from submarines to shoot down aircraft, but even still the aircraft holds most of the advantages, and the submarine is probably more apt to survive by hiding under the waves.

When did the battle of the Atlantic occur in World War 2?

Was the battle of bulge successful for the Germans?
What is called the Battle of the Bulge in the United States was part of the German Ardennes Offensive of 1944. It was a last-gasp effort by the German Army to stave off defeat in the Western European Theater - its primary goal was the Belgian city of Antwerp, the major port from which Allied supplies were flooding onto the continent. It was hoped by that re-taking Antwerp, the Allied forces in Western Europe could be contained long enough to possibly negotiate a peace (or, alternately, allow for more time for Hitler's Superweapons (the various V-rockets and jet aircraft) to play a significant role). While initially successful, mostly due to failures of Allied tactical planners to appreciate that a major German offensive was in the making, the German attack ultimately stalled due to lack of fuel. As the weather cleared a week or so after the battle began, Allied tactical aircraft ravaged stalled German units, and prevented the furthest penetrating German units from resupplying. In the end, the offensive was a German failure, and a strategic Allied victory, as the German army lost most of its remaining quality units, and the Luftwaffe effectively ceased to exist. The Battle of the Bulge was the last significant German offensive of WW2.

Is the military aircraft one of the most deadly weapon in the miltary arsenal?
Depends on what it is armed with, if it is an f15, it would most definitely be a real threat to an enemy aircraft, but if it was a nuclear armed b52, it would be deadly to whole nations. Probably the most deadly would be the navy's nuclear armed submarines

Mostly any of the Allied forces fought with the French. Often if allied aircraft crashed in a German occupied land, the French forces known as the "Maquis" would assist them in escape, so the French were accepted as a valuable ally to most all the "good guys" UK forces seemed to most often work with Frech forces.
What did Japan accomplish militarily during World War 2?
Japan accomplished the same thing that it's partner Germany did; they both accumulated a lot of foreign territory (countries). On the technical side, the Japanese advanced the uses of the aircraft carriers, which included outstanding fighters, dive bombers, & torpedo aircraft; massive sized submarines, the largest in the world at that time; aircraft carrying submarines; Germany, Japan & Italy all used midget (mini) submarines; the most powerful battleships in the world - Yamato & Mushashi (Nine 18-inch guns/rifles, 70,000 ton displacement), and the most powerful torpedo during WWII, the "Long Lance."
