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.

I used to eat paint chips. Now I just drink the paint because I couldn't find a salsa that went well with the chips and they were dry =)

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.
