A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...!?
Shagohod energy though, tbh
Not sure if this is the Schwerer Gustav, but …
Crew: 250 to assemble the gun in 3 days (54 hours), 2,500 to lay track and dig embankments. 2 flak battalions to protect the gun from air attack
Explanation: In WW2, Nazi Germany had a tendency to pursue some outlandish weapon designs whose utility was... much less than their development cost. Many were approved directly by Adolf Hitler or his inner circle of drugged-up cronies, since even the infamously impractical German brass wouldn't approve of half these projects for the simple reason that they were idiotic.
I mean, it could've been uh... interesting if that gun ever managed to barage London with giant shells before D-day. Not that it was ever particularly feasible, but it would've been quite the story.
Are they still building those Trump-class super battleships?
This was a great level in Return to Castle Wolfenstein
