Each of those 2 battleship turrets weigh 192 tons. ( 384,000 lbs ) and the guns were an additional 804,000 lbs, for a total weight of 2,376,000 lbs for the guns/turrets alone.

The wartime load capacity of the current C5B Galaxy is 291,000 lbs.

Methinks this is a prank.

 :eek:



Well, then we need to get on top of our aviation tech, hmmm?

Actually if you do the research, a battery like gun has been proposed and attempts to implement did occur in ww2.  I don't remember what ship it was, but there WAS an American version. 

The deflection from the guns was not the thing they needed to overcome, and if I were to place a bet I would say it had to do with WEIGHT and the lightweight metal needed to have a gun like that on board.


This ship DID exist without the guns, it crashed of course. :)

It's not that far fetch to put guns on an aircraft and have them fire without issue.  What is far fetched is to actually have the aircraft FLY. 

In AH2 the meaning gang **** would take on a different definition.

Oh god and please don't mix reality with digital recreation.  The black and whites were the only real photos, everything else is a rendering including the people wearing modern clothes with roll on luggage lol.
Also note the german opel

Yes....it did.
K-7 first flew on 11 August 1933. Then on 21 November 1933 the aircraft crashed due to structural failure of one of the tail booms, killing 14 people aboard and one on the ground. Although two more prototypes were ordered in 1933, the project was canceled in 1935 before they could be completed.[1]

You're not exactly a great source for accurate details, being a paranoid schizo type. Trusting a wiki article, using Russian details, coming from you, is rrrreeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyy a stretch.

Hardly.  I understand reality, do you... or do you just fall in with what's popular and trust mob rule with the rest of the lemmings?

You're splitting hairs but yes that plane posted with the guns (note I said without the guns) is not reality.  Nor was it ever pouring down on the german UFO.  The rendering is exaggerated obviously.  Again, ref the wiki and research from there.  Don't have the site but there are plans drawn into CAD (if anyone uses cad anymore).

Might be interesting to see an RC model of this if someone had enough money, guts, and time to reproduce :o

If you want a slow bomber with little defensive fire, why not just fly the stuka?

(Image removed from quote.)

Russian Bomber - guns were suggested but never placed on prototype that crashed.  Very limited real photos, this is a rendering.
Built in 1930something..


Nice find Sincraft!  :salute
