Not all that surprisingly, I like this one.



Yeah I know, impractical and not used much, but wow! What a projo! I'd love to have seen a round go down range from that one. You can read more about it here:

Thats a big beastie Charge, how would it's size compare with the Naval Guns

Planes......I like planes, I got every sort of ww2 plane games. I must say that the Spitfire, is the best.

That's an 800 mm gun you're looking at. Most heavy cruisers were armed with 203 mm guns. Battlecruisers and many battleships had no more than 356 mm. The KGV class battleships of Britain were eventually fitted out with US made 406 mm guns and those were the biggest the Allies used. Even Japan's I.J.S. Musashi and I.J.S. Yamato, the biggest battleships ever to sail the seas, were equipped with no more than 457 mm guns.

Charge 7 and his big guns...

...I would like to be an FO for that beast

You'd have to travel to the OP by plane.

I seen just what the Naval guns can do from a batttleship, but I would not want to be around when that thing dropped a shell near by. Charge do you know the range of that gun.

Two types of projectiles were fired using a 300-lb. charge of smokeless powder: a 10,584 lb. High explosive (HE) shell and a 16,540 lb. concrete-piercing projectile. Craters from the HE shells measured 30-ft wide and 30-ft deep while the concrete piercing projectile proved capable of penetrating 264-ft of reinforced concrete before exploding! Maximum range was 29 miles with HE shells and 23 miles with concrete piercing projectiles. Muzzle velocity was approximately 2700 f.p.s.
