eh, its probably killed more then the Karl Gerat
Yeah, but Karl was much cheaper and easier to produce
Even tho 16 where only build
Lobbed shells over the fucking Black Sea and destroyed a concrete ammo bunker
iirc
With 10 meter of penetration against concrete
How to say fuck you in german to the Russians in the Bunker, and the 6 tanks nearby
And 1000mm against steel
Yes
@ConstantColt058 dude look at what I've said I was quoting a crazy lib so calm down and get the full story before u go off on someone
That convo was a while ago
My balls itch
T58, american autoloading heavy with 155mm cannon
I don't think i've seen this before
Its basically an T57, you probably know it from wot but with an bigger gun
ah i see
so the americans tried their hand at making their own Communist Refrigerator then
Im trying to figure out a crew for my tank thing, the abomination i posted here a while ago
currently i have 3-5 men for each gun and 2 in the hull
8-12 crewmembers
that thing was scary
Sturmtiger didn’t have a huge crew iirc
Only like 5 people
yeah, but the fucking firepower of that thing
it was an assault gun
it shot rockets
was ment to shoot Britain from teh shore of France IIRC
I know it shot rockets, it could punch through 11 feet of concrete, the reason I was saying the above reminded me of it was what I though to be the stubby barrel in the umage above
I believe it was found to be too inaccurate to use against single things like bunkers
It did fuck up groups of things if it landed nearby them. Apparently it managed to hit near some stationary shermans and basically knocked out all of them
It was mainly used in the eastern front, noteable in the battle of warsaw, and was highly ineffecient due to only being able to hold 6 shells at a time
the Shturmtiger was frankly a waste of recources if you ask me
sure its a big gun, but all those materials coulda been used to produce more panzers, panthers, fix the tiger 2, better development into the Panzershrek to make it better than it already was
it was something that was highly impracticle, yet super cool, that being said, it was the helepolis of it's time, a highly expensive and highly specific tool that could work marvels if used right
but rarely ever did
most of Germanies Wonder Weapons were like that
oh, yeah, totally
used successfully about once
tho i will say, with stuff like the ME262, it propelled aircraft development further, as well as runway strategy
The Me262 had decent success. Obviously not enough to change the outcome of the war. But it DID manage to change the entirety of aerial warfare.
