ricka2004 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 i think a cool superweapon for the Axis would be Big Bertha, you could have a small railroad track and it would be every couple of minutes like the rest of the superweapons. any other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Durn, just looked for the FAQ, and I can't find it. Why oh why? They've already said no, you get the bombing run, V1, V2, Stuka strike, and artillery strike as superweapons already as the Axis (or at least the V2 is planned).

Corporal Upham 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 what kinda cracks me up is all these people joining the forums making threads about all these secret superweapons they know about and how they should be in the game.....i think big bertha was mentioned several times already ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuka_Geschwader 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Big Bertha a railway gun?!?! And I think what the guy is talking about being the biggest Rail-Gun in WWI was the Paris gun. But a K5 railway gun would be a nice little toy but isn't necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But a K5 railway gun would be a nice little toy but isn't necessary. Hi. First Post so don't kill me for my maybe bad english, but I'm German. I'm very intrested in WW2 Military History. And all i could say is. If you are interested in a "little" Toy. Look at this. Pic 1 And this. Pic 2 And here are some Specs for this "little" Gun. Name: Dora Caliber: 800 mm -> 31.496 inch Barrellength: 32.4 m -> 1275.914 inch Shoots per Hour: 3 Range: 28 km -> 17.398 miles Weight: 1350t -> 2976237 lb. Weight of Projectile: 7100 kg -> 15652.802 lb. If you can read german here is the main Site I can't help but this sentence sounds like I'm some racist. I'm not. I hope i calculated all things in the right way. But with the help of my English Dictionary (conversions between lenght and weight) i hope i didn't made any failure. :unsure: I found a failure. But i corrected it. :huh: Edited June 21, 2004 by Kosh Naranek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kosh Naranek 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Sorry man, we've no'd the Dora about... eight times already. Same with other railway guns. And that's good. I don't want that thing. With this thing all you have to do is build good fortifications. And let that Thing fire at the enemy Base which is on the other Side of an Max. size 8 player Map. That thing would be Overkill. And even the Maus is a little Overkill if you think that at the End of WWII only 2 of these Mammoths where Build. Btw. good Idea give the Maus a build restriction of 2.

Wittman 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 the only way I could ever see dora implemented is as an off map artillery strike, but with what all germany's got in the way of V2s, stuka strikes, and Maus tanks, I don't really feel like they need another super weapon unless something else is added for the allies and soviets.

Leonardofury 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2004 Did I read that right? You think the Allied captured Dora and mounted it on a SPITFIRE?? ^_^ . I very much doubt that, the spitfire wouldn't be able to take off under the weight of the gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorathSS 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2004 ~gently pokes his head in when he hears the Maus mentioned~ Technically 3 were completed. One was fully combat able, the second was the test dummy, which they had to place the turret on... the third was almost completed, and could have been put into combat as is most likely Over 12 were in various stages of construction when the war was over...

For your information, the Soviet Artillery strike also uses 6 600mm shells. Look closely, you see 6 big shells falling :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2004 You know how the Rocket part gets the V1 strike, and then later they'll get the V2 strike after that? Maybe the heavy factory branch could get a Dora strike when you buy the Maus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
