Schwerer Gustav

This was a very spur of the moment job, it's a 3D model I found on the web awhile ago (don't know who made it) & forgotten about. Just found it while rummaging though some old files, so I thought I'd do a quick render & throw it in game. Turned out pretty good IMO, no idea what to do with it other then eye candy tho XP

Capturable goodie?

I'd really like to see it functioning. It's too awesome not to - it combines all the great German things: trains, engineering, and waging war on a massive scale.
Did the real thing have any kind of turret, or was it fixed facing forward?

It was fixed forward, it also needed four parallel tracks too work so there isn't much I can do with it. For that pic I made it a 2x12 building BTW.

As an eye-candy or mission objective, you could make it constantly fire at a waypoint that's outside the map, give it no turret and make an active anim that looks like a reload sequence, and corresponds with the RoF.

I'm not a big fan, it looks to clean and lacking in detail on the cat-walks. They look they are made out of concrete not metal.

After a bit of reading, I noticed that the proportions/dimensions seem a little off. Especially the back looks too long.

I came to the same conclusion, so I did a bit of googling & found a better model!

I guess they use this for playing dodge ball... from 80 miles away. Razz

That's probably why the Germans lost the war.

Wasting countless Reichmarks on making that giant cannon facing England turn around and aim for Moscow.
