Paratroopa suffers from the "Di Morga" syndrome (as I like to call it). Basically the thought that the bigger it is, the better it is, no matter what.
Usually the symptoms of this syndrome are:
- A like for unusually heavy tanks
- Preferring ridiculously heavy artillery (that crap you had to haul by railroad)
- Thinks a Desert Eagle .50 would be the sidearm of choice
- Thinks the only sniper rifle worth lugging around is a .50.
- Thinks any rifle bullet smaller than 7.62mm is utterly BB ammo.
It's very common.
For an artillery piece you want to consider what its mission is, how it'll be moved and how often, compatability with weapons stocks that can be found elsewhere etc etc. Let's say you made an artillery piece that was supposed to be hauled by a Black Hawk. That 200mm sieg cannon is going to be a problem.
