Meh a couple British tall boy bombs which were fairly accurate for dumb bombs would do a number on that thing.
Land mines would also immobilize it.
If it was also close enough to the shore line US & British naval guns would also pound it into submission.
You're too skeptical of it. It may have been an oversized piece of steel junk, but then weren't all battleships? Also, fhsw is an awesome mod.
Basically i'm trying to say it would have been useless, but you're looking at it the wrong way.
well... battleships still got the speed, like 50km/h
I would eat my hat if they'd managed to make a landship drive at those speeds.
Would be ridiculously funny to see though. Something the size of a city block goin' Wheee!
While firing its huge *** guns at the same time.
Crushing a King Tiger.
And a Pershing.
And an IS 2
Only to get tracked by a rocks =.-
But then so do Aircraft. The Prince of wales, Yamato and Tirpitz were all sunk by bombers. If it's big and at sea or ground level, bombers will always be a hinderence.
That was a reply to GriffinZ btw.
indeed the Royal Air Force & US 8th Air Force would bomb the **** out of that thing b4 it would even leave the factory.
You cant easily hide something of that size form air recon. so yea when the allies would figure out what the Germans were building & were it would seal this things fate b4 it would even be completed.
& even IF the Germans managed to get it operational a few British Tall Boy 21 foot tall earthquake bombs would tear it a new one & I seriously doubt it would have any speed like a normal tank & thus would be a slow moving anti tank, mine, artillery, & aerial bomb magnet.
I think you just missed my point again... Whatever.
Keep in mind unlike bunkers and forts this can move and the design does include a flak gun.
Actually in game it took 20 bombing runs to destroy it. The only way to really destroy it before it takes out your objectives is to go inside and plant bombs by the ammunition.
Well games & reality differ quite a bit but you do bring up another good reason of why this landship wouldn't survive even leaving the factory as local partisan groups would also sabotage it & its resources like fuel & ammo.
think of the fuel!
