SU-122 self propelled artilery

[Carwash]

The SU-122 self propelled gun would be an interesting if messy addition to the game.  Imagine a bunch of these spawning near a base and shelling the cr@p out of it.  Spawn campers would have  field day with them, and it would add some more Russian equipment to the game.

Just load any tank up with HE and use that. i dont think HTC will put in one but they may im not shure.

pfft, think bigger people.


how about the Schwerer Gustav 80cm railway gun

ammo specs:

High Explosive
Weight of projectile: 4.8 t (4,800 kg)
Muzzle velocity: 820 m/s
Maximum range: 48 km
Explosive mass: 700 kg
Crater size: 30 ft (10 m) wide 30 ft (10 m) deep.


AP Shell

The main body was made of chrome-nickel steel, fitted with an aluminium alloy ballistic nose cone.
Length of shell: 3.6 m
Weight of projectile: 7.1 t (7,100 kg)
Muzzle velocity: 720 m/s
Maximum range: 38 km
Explosive mass: 250 kg
Penetration: 264 ft (80 m) of reinforced concrete was claimed, but this seems extremely unlikely. In testing it was demonstrated to penetrate 7 metres of concrete at maximum elevation (beyond that available during combat) with a special charge [2].

One of the guns was used in the Soviet Union at the siege of Sevastopol during Operation Barbarossa. It was destroyed near the end of the war to avoid capture.

It is the largest calibre rifled weapon in the history of artillery and fired the heaviest shells of any artillery piece.

And rate of fire something like 1 shot per hour

the rail gun would be nice but only 1 was made and it only fired 43 times in anger

yea, but it would give GV guys something to drop more perkies on,

I can just see it when somebody would spot that thing  "oh look, sector 10,6 has an erection."
