Plane cockpits have too much buttons.

Plane cockpits have too much buttons.

And not enough windows.

"I'm only flying the plane, why the hell would I need to see where we're going?"

 

[Dennisch]

Because shooting someone from 100 kilometers is so much more fun.

 

[Bopop4]

At least it's an easy target for planes to blow it to tiny bits.

 

[PeterJB]

You'd have a hard time blowing that up.

And here's the shell it fired

 

[Bopop4]

You'd have a hard time blowing that up.

Not really, it's such a big target that it would be easy to hit and damage.
Plus it would need a ton of AA guns to even have a chance.

 

[PeterJB]

Easy to hit, but doesn't exactly look brittle.

 

[Jedi2016]

The fact that it was mobile also made it hard to locate. Enemy sorties wouldn't have a fixed location to go in and bomb.

But it ain't exactly incon:censored:spicuous, is it? [/Brick Top]

You have seen what bombs do to tanks and bunkers, right?

A 500lb bomb would blow that to bits. Alternatively hit the ammo store and blow half the countryside up.

Amazing engineering, but pretty useless. Everything about it is awkward.

I think that's the third time Gustav and the picture of the shell has been posted in here now.

"Oh, this big thing? Noooo, it's a prototype circus cannon. We hope to shoot a guy across the channel, nothing suspicious here..."

 

[Madertus]

Gustav's shells could go even 20 or 30 meters deep into the ground before exploding.

 

[speed junkie]

Massive animal.

 

[Dalamar]

Is that a hyena?

 

[TB]

Indeed.

 

[Dalamar]

Dudes got kahooneys.

 

[Ken]

Dudes got kahooneys.

For sure.

 

[Barra333]

It looks to be somewhat domesticated - muzzle, leash. And it looks as though it doesn't have it's claws out, which would indicate playful mode.

 

[Dalamar]

Domesticated hyena is an oxymoron. Muzzle, leash, chained to the ground, I still wouldn't be going near it.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Oh you have a Pitbull as your dog? you are so cute xD

First question: Why?
Second question: where do you get a tie capable of doing that?

 

[Lizard]

And here's the shell it fired

Ohhhh nice plane on top of that.
He 162 Salamander.

First question: Why?
Second question: where do you get a tie capable of doing that?

Either that's one long tie or the end is just out of shot.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

ohhhh crap plane on top of that.
He 162 salamander.

ftfy.
