Post by: Dr Zhivago on April 06, 2002, 07:43:38 AM

This little gun is "Schwere Gustav", 80cm railroad-gun "Dora"

combat weight was 1,350 tonnes
AP shell weight  7,1 tonne , range 37 km
HE shell weight  4,8 tonne ,range 48 km
Reloading time was only 45 min :D

Any chances to get railroad gun to AH ? yes/no ???

Well, considering it took 3 days to set the gun up, it was served by a crew of 2000-something men, led by a brigadier general...my guess is no...

that's like a freaking battleship on rails :)  I don't think they needed 2000 men to work those. that'd be totally unproductive
