an amazing machine but not overly useful during the majority of the war

Pfff, child's play compared to their WW1 gun: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun

"only good for city sized targets" like that's a drawback in a siege weapon.

Welcome to the gun show
CorneliusCornwall
But can it multi-track drift?
Isilder
The gun was deployed to Sevastapol. Yes it fires 40 rounds and help the Germans take Sevastapol, but that was a side show to the war.
Isilder
I mean, Sevastapol was a complete waste. They needed to hold the Russians off at the front with Russia , but the russians had air power.
MarcusLepidus
What a waste of material. Why did hitler want to build such useless machines?
Horsed
To breach the Maginot Line. But was not ready then and also not needed because of the blitz through Belgium.
MarcusLepidus
But wouldn't a larger amount of more easily movable field guns or aircraft be more effective against Maribor or in case blue/Barbarossa?
Horsed
Aircraft can be shot down. Gustavs unused brother could hit London from Calais (118mi). And psychology.
Horsed
Destroying Hiroshima with explosives wouldn't had the same effect as the nuke (radiation not included)
MooseGoneMeh
Any notable usage of it? What happened to it?
kungfufil
Used in the siege of Sevastopol. Fired 48 times. Nothing after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav

at some point mm becomes like months for toddlers

And all it took was a bit of thermite to make it useless.
PoppinLochNessHopster
I saw that on breaking bad too!
kungfufil
Or just use it 48 times.
duderocks1998
Can someone explain?
TacticalEtching
Destroyed by its crew to prevent capture. Thermite in the chamber or on the breech block is a common method of rendering artillery useless.
minipancho94
put hole in wrong spot of gun and gun no work. thermite get hot and make hole.

But can it launch a 90 kg projectile over 300 meters?
MermaidManYellingEvil
Yes
kungfufil
Over 300, yes. Under 300... I would step back a few hundred meters before trying that.
IRateDPics
Try multi-ton projectile over 100 miles.
VresiBerba
Well, 30 miles
beersweneedbeers
Didn't they want it to span the English Channel+

DVSBSTrD
Fucken zat particular city block en particular!
ImADouchebag
It was actually mainly used for bunker busting. It completely shredded the russian defenses at Sevastopol.
DVSBSTrD
I wondered how they did that.

I got bigger guns attached to my shoulders
JaiLikeChai
Isn't it intended to launch nukes?
TacticalEtching
The cannon designed to shoot nukes was much smaller than railway guns like that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M65_atomic_cannon
ZVerix
The Nazis didn't have nukes. Some of this gun's projectiles supposedly made it across the English Channel during The Blitz.
BeesechurgerProductions
Its a railway artillery cannon

Wh.. what? No. No thats not how... No.

LeCacty
Of course. I was referring to the notion that germany had nukes.
JaiLikeChai
You of you fuckers was talking about how the gun shot "mini nukes" I knew they didn't have nukes btw
LeCacty
What. The fuck. Are you saying.
CliffyWeevil
Did... Did you just have a stroke?
TheHatefulBate
They had a c-jah.

Russia's answer Калинин К-7
pilojo
IIRC, that thing never had a successful flight, and had a catastrophic failure that killed a dozen people onboard on one of the tests.
imgurliestome
What?
pilojo
It never truly successfully flew. It had problems with all seven test flights, the last ending in more than a dozen dead.
imgurliestome
Yeah?
pilojo
I was just noting that it was useless, whereas Schwerer Gustav was actually functional, so it would be a shitty response.
eazydave
We should bring back those leather jackets.
kungfufil
Just ask Hugo Boss, they probably still have the patterns.
mstalltree
They had style...you gotta give them that. Neonazis should learn a thing or two from their mentors
Jacxy
No, fuck that. Don't nobody want some Oberjäger jacking your shit up because you didn't go buy gallon of polish for your fucking coat.
wangtangle
Well I for one appreciated your zazzy comment.
