The Schwerer Gustav 80cm. Fired once... at Russia.... because that was the only target big enough to hit with it.
Didn't germans fire those railway cannons at Paris a few times
I thought so
I think a couple large bore cannons in WWI
Thanks alpha that's funny
But not that behemoth.
Yeah they where smaller bore
Yes they are literally called the Paris gun
here
28.3 cm compared to 80 cm...
Sexy...its a cannon
The shells initially used had a diameter of 216 mm (8.5 in) and a length of 960 mm (38 in).
I remember seeing a planned warship of a destroyer sized that had one of those for coastal bombardment
that would be impressive
The Wunderwaffen ideas were insane... look up the Ratte tank
It won't work but interesting to see it flip in the ocean
I have
Awesome, but horribly impractical. Besides, imagine maintaining that.
Tsar tank is just as crazy
They remind me of the wheel tanks from Attack of the Clones
Fun Fact: The shells of the Paris gun were the first manmade objects to reach the stratosphere
Huh, I guess you learn something new every day.
Stalins Super sub is crazy mix of ballistic submarine with World War 2 technology
i got tons of fun facts
I thought one of the ww1 balloons did that before the Paris gun but I could be incorrect on that
nope it was the paris gun
Sub used a version of the V3 or V2 Rocket to possibly launch a nuclear warhead
The Germans love their wierd weapons, that's for sure.
SOVIETS too
lets not forget the massive tank penis
🤣
Tank suppressor!
Ha
That's real I think
its a tank dick and you can
> The Germans love their wierd weapons, that's for sure.
@Alpha-57 They actually tried developing an artillery gun that used a "multistage firing system" which wouldve given it the range the likes of which would allow the Germans to shell Britain from France
never change my mind
Yeah, it's real
