The biggest gun ever🤯

Schwerer Gustav was the biggest, and heaviest weapon ever used in battle. Its construction began in 1934 and wasn't finished until 1941. Other than being scary, it really begs the question, was it worthwhile?

The dude was insane. And not the good kind. He proposed the idea of making the Gustav gun able to move without the railroads. Which back then bassically meant treating it like a tank.

The Gustav’s whereabouts aren’t “unknown” it doesn’t exist anymore. The Nazi’s destroyed it. They did it piece by piece so that if any pieces were found(and they were) The Allies wouldn’t be able to reassemble it and use it after The Nazi’s fell. They did manage to find a few sections of barrel but that was sadly all that remained of the Gustav. I say sadly bc being a big fan of history but especially military history & WW2.

[@hannesromhild8532]

The first one IS Dora. schwerer gustav is the factory name for that type of Gun. Both guns made have been called schwerer Gustav 1 and 2 but Dora was a nickname for the only one deployed. The second one never left the testing grounds at Rügenwalde. Langer Gustav was a modified version never build.

Further more the first jet fighter ever built is the (messerschmitt Me 262) which is built in WW2, there's even a footage of americans shocked when they saw it for the firstime. What my point is Germany is certainly advanced in WW2 and massive doesn't means easy to build, maybe sometimes.

We humans always came up with Turning things practical no-one ever in the past could have thought we would be able to use nuclear power at high efficiency. But here we are.

Be completely outgunned by rockets. Today they make guns, but they can't make too big guns on wheels. Hence, they would have to travel on rails as well if they plan to be way bigger, regardless of the more modern technology, this cannot be compensated adequately. So the behemoth with potential range of 1000km can be easily destroyed by average cruise missile with a range of 4500km...

"It was destroyed by the Nazis. Till now, its whereabouts are unknown" Bro. It was DESTROYED

[@leotsering]

Bro got the voice of : The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
