MUCH short range though. It was a city buster, but it could only be aimed by physically turning the train it was built on, so it had to sit on a long curve on the tracks. Also was a single stage weapon so while huge, it was far less complex. The Germans had been building giant artillery for decades by WW2.

You missed a couple of interesting tidbits related to this project. 1. While you are correct the the Tallboy bombs wrecked the facility, there is a bit more to the story. Photo Intelligence could not prove the facility had been destroyed, because there was not a great deal of damage that the photos could identify. So the American Army Air Force also took a shot at destroying the place. They loaded up a worn out B17 full of TNT and planned to use it as a remote controlled Kamikaze. The plane was supposed to take off using 2 human pilots. They would then turn the control over to a mother ship, arm the explosives and bail out. Sadly, when they armed the bomb, the explosives detonated, killing both men. One of the pilots killed was Joseph Kennedy, the older brother of John Kennedy, of PT109 fame and 35th President of the United States. 2. The second tidbit was that the idea of the super gun did not end in Germany. Gerald Bull picked up the idea and managed to sell it to Saddam Hussein. He promised Saddam a weapon that could attack Israel and even shoot satellites into orbit. The Israel's were worried enough by it that they sent a hit squad to Brussels and assassinated Bull.

The "wonder weapons" were largely a delusional waste of resources that distracted from more efficient mass production of simpler, more reliable and more readily deployed alternatives. The V1 & V2 rockets were never as effective at the Luftwaffe had been. The super-battleships like Bismark and Tirpitz were ultimately vulnerable to air attacks just like other major surface ships. Even the dreaded King Tiger tank was disproportionately consumptive in time and material resources and suffered a host of reliability issues. Yet despite this, an even bigger beast nicknamed "Mause" was planned, but which ultimately would still suffer the same vulnerabilities as any other tank. The only wonder weapon of WW2 that didn't disappoint it's backers was the nuclear bomb...

The V3 was a failed program from the start. If Hitler was sane at the time, these never would have been produced. The only so called wunderwaffe that the Allies were concerned about were the V2 rocket and the ME-262 fighter jet. The V1 buzz bomb was terrifying for British civilians for the noises it made in flight but they learned to pay attention to the sound. It was when the buzz bomb engine went silent that they ran for cover. The ME-163 Komet rocket plane was also a major disappointment for Germany. If Germany developed these before the start of WW2 and if Hitler didnt get hooked on drugs by Dr. Morell, they probably would have won the war.

The type of miniaturization than enabled PF is also why the Allies were able to produce radar sets and install them on their fighters and ships.

Dude... no this would not have changed history. This was as practical as the H44 class battleship, or the P1500 tank. It was nothing more than move to placate Hitler. As the war went on he became more and more delusional to the point where Soviet troops were preparing to enter Berlin, and he was commanding units that no longer existed. No one had the balls to tell him that 75% of the crap he thought was a good idea, was absolutely ridiculous. Mainly because those who did ended up being killed off for actually saying it. This was never feasible, 50 cannons using the pressure system it did, would have been such a monumental waste of materials that the Allies had they known what it was for, probably would have let them build the things. Just to tie up the troops and the materials. The built two 80cm guns, the largest ever built, and only used them once at Sevastopol, of course the destruction they wrought was absolutely astonishing, they were just too massive to be effective. I mean they had a Major General as the gun captain for Christ's sake and it took an actual division to deploy them, then they had to lay not one but two completely parallel railroad tracks in order to aim the thing... The V3 cannon would have been almost useless from an effective battlefield weapon standpoint as you wouldn't have been able to accurately aim it at anything other than London. When you're fighting a war, spending all the resources they would have spent on this to fire at a target that doesn't make weapons, ammunition, or fire anything back at you, is the height of stupidity.

Germany during ww2 and Russia really give me methy vibes 🤣. Everything just gets crazier and wilder as meth madness deepens.

Throw Some vodka on the problem! That'll fix it. More meth! More vodka! War is hell but I don't remember it. Much. The soldiers are spun out, tired, cold, dirty, hungry, yelled at, shot at and bombed. What a waste.
