MrVic: Standard HE its arty no need for AP with that shell size hehe Armor is not a big deal its thin skinned in that area as its a indirect weapon only. coordination as stated in the story was radio communication and there are many many ways to get them all in sync. example radial true north dials. so all the commander has to do is call out a degree and any unit could turn to it. There are numerous simple solutions to that problem. As to poor soil conditions and compaction as we refer to it in my line of work. They can be spotted well in advance since this thing is not tearing across the county side at break neck speed. But failure of one or even 2 haulers is not a huge loss overall. Thats one reason I have 6 placed at the 3 points along the hull to provide weight support to be spread evenly. 4 haulers alone can lift and move the entire machine without to much trouble. heck say you even got a hauler "mired" in mud. with system in place and weight distribution the support pedestal could even lift the hauler vertically and carry it on the other 5. Tho I would have to run numbers to be sure but I think that actually would work. And remember this machine huge but due to the redundancy in its hauler systems and the fact it literally exerts less pounds per square inch of pressure onto the ground below it then a Tiger 1. aka it would leave shallower marks on the ground as it moved in layman's terms
Hopefully that helps. But remember that creation was mostly for fun, as really it would not fit into WoT game Also if your worried on its size make sure to read up on Railway guns because they vary a lot and its hard to truly understand its size without reading up on it.

MrVic: Yeah when I started out on this I figured "what the heck" and gave it a shot. Now as I have done a few tanks and about 8 I have sitting around that I scrapped I realized I learned a ton about drawing and more WW2 info which has been great.

MrVic: hehe If you look closely at the legs their sleeved cylinder supports to the take most of the force of firing while allowing the tank to traverse uneven terrain of the country side.
combined with 4 ground contact points per hauler gives it 24 tracks to run on and help distribute the weight even more. My rough math this thing has a smaller ground pressure foot print per square inch then a Tiger 1 Tho I am still crunching a few number. double checking my tonnage range currently. With numerous wide spread points for distribution of weight and aided by horizontal and vertical shock absorption amazing things can happen

MrVic: Dealing with the recoil ended up being simple. Its all in the hydraulics. By fully extending the cylinder supports and switching the entire system over to a set of pressure release valves set with the right psi release threshold and controlled bleed off lines. That combined with the option to tie each clyinder into a air/gas reservoir you literally turn them into shock absorbers. It just takes some plumbing and make sure all the cylinders are switched over prior to firing. Heck you can even reset the thing on a section of track and use it if you like also. Tho that option seemed less epic

MrVic: German BFG VII
Nicknamed “The Final Word"

Origins
Wilhelm Von Lichtenstein, the creator of the BFG VII. Served in a artillery regiment in World War 1.
At the end of the war he was not the same man that had entered the war years before. Most said he was
either creative insane madman or a madman insanely creative…. He returned to his father’s home and
took over the family’s legacy…The family steel mill. Shortly after rejoining the mill’s work force he
approached his father asking permission to build the ultimate artillery piece. His father refused
and the fights and arguments ensued. This daily feud between father and son went on for months always
ending with his father getting the last word in each and every argument they had. Then one day
Wilhelm Von Lichtenstein‘s father turned up missing and a freshly dug flower bed was noticed at
that family manor.
The workers of the mill feared the worst, seeing as they had no other means for making a living they
kept quiet hoping everything would blow over. Before the flowers could even bloom in the new family
garden Wilhelm Von Lichtenstein was setting about his plan to great the greatest artillery system the
world had ever seen. As the months passed it slowly took shape. Wilhelm Von Lichtenstein hired some
of the best mechanical engineers in the world to assist him his pursuits. This was quickly draining the
family fortune but Whilhelm so obsessed did not care. The main problem he had was making the weapon mobile.
The team of engineers came up with a hydraulic based system of balancing the weight and using hydraulic cylinders
based off 6 support legs of the artillery carriage. Each heavy hauler would be double tracked giving each one a
total of 4 tracked sections to pull the monster weapon into battle. This combined with pivot point on each
hauler made it so the haulers could turn and track to rotate the massive weapon with relative ease. Each
hauler stayed in contact with each driver over the radio and make such turns smooth. One of Whilhelm’s biggest
issues was the engines need to power all the systems. Utilizing no less than 24 Maybach HL120TRM gave the
beast a roaring 7200 hp. With 4 engines in each hauler mobility was achieved easily. A last minute addition
was the ability to set the BFG VII on 2 railcar transporters. Once it was centered over the railcars it would
lower itself onto them from the cylinders and the haulers would be disconnected from the guns hull and loaded
onto separate train cars. This gave the BFG VII the ability to move to a fight at much faster speeds then
Whilhelm ever dreamed.
When the outbreak of WW2 broke out Whilhelm was overjoyed! He loaded his artillery now nicknamed “The Final Word”
and raced off to the war. Whilhelm was asked many time why his creation was nicknamed “The Final Word” he always
told them “It’s the final word the enemies hear from the blast of my gun!” The few surviving steel mill workers
tell a different story. They all stated when asked about the name “Whilhelm’s father always got the final word in
every argument….until the day Whilhelm built a garden and built his precious gun, the source of all those arguments”

Well they wanted a super tank!
That and we need more Self propelled artillery entries. … Okay I admit it I just had to make this nutso thing.
Sad thing is after talking to a mechanical engineer friend the last 2 days about this, so far that we can tell this thing actually is feasible LMAO
Well if we still think we need bigger I guess I can stick some tracks on the Bismarck and go nuts. (Please don’t make me)
