Was trolling the net...

Looking around at info on the different arty systems modeled in vBF2, PoE, et al and found this:

Schwerer Gustav

To illustrate my thoughts graphically when I saw this, I present the following collage:

Mic Dundee says, "That's not an arty..."

"Now that's an arty!"

With a shell that weighted in at between 4.8 and 7.1 tons, fired from a distance of between 38 and 48 KM, that sucker left craters 30 feet across and 30 feet deep! I suddenly have a better appreciation for balance in video games.

That big one looks like the guns that were in the movie The Guns of Navarone.

I think they should put it in the game. I am sure that we could find 500 players to crew a weapon that would most likely overshoot every map that we curently have.
