Should war thunder add Karl-Gerat a 600MM Siege mortar

Not really sure how it would work given it has no ammunition stored on itself. There was a specialized PzIV that acted as an ammo mule for it, featuring a crane and carrying a whopping four rounds.Takes longer to reload than an entire battle lasts lol.

Ingame, You just have one round in the breach, and once that’s used you have to go to a cap point ? Idk.

One round in the barrel and one in an ammo crate (and make it a TD), and idk give it a like three minute reload rate so that it’s balanced?

How does the SturmTiger work? they could just do it that way and also april fools sounds fine for it. Cause them realism can be thrown out the window.

Escort type event gamemode. Like TF2 bomb escort. But this you escort a few ammo carriers and the Karl-Gerät to a specific point into the map.

I think that would work well but maybe a shorter reload. The strum tiger has a shortened reload from real life so to make it more fun. It would probably be any event vehicle or a vehicle like the Maus that comes back every year.

Sturm has internal storage tho the karl doesnt

Thats why having one shell loaded then having a ammo box like the tds would be good

Or they could add a cool game mechanic with the ammo mule tank

It could be implemented now, right? The crew would be like a bare VFW, and the vehicle placement system would bring out ammunition vehicles and load them. If they don’t do this, I won’t feel any romance in the planet anymore.

They shouldn’t add it, but I would certainly use it if they did

absolutley

as a reward for a event like Sturmorser (so it not available for all all the time)

its reload vehicle should be there too as a automatic vehicle

I would like to see it as a tech tree. vehicle. We can’t just keep dumping special vehicle behind a paywall.

probably could just make the ammo carrier follow it around multi vehcile set up

Can it even fire forward?

It would be really funny.

The Gun has the traverse of 0 to 70°. But the firing elevation was 55 to 70°. According to Tankencyclopedia. They say that the 60 cm gun with only 1 charge and heavyest shell had around 2.84 km range. So technically workable if you bring it to top tier and get a bigger map? And well the 54cm gun is out of the question.
I don’t know if lower then 55° firing angle would destroy the vehichle, but I kinda assume. That said If we want to bend reality for gameplay, than the gun depression is 0° I guess. Now the way more problematic part is If it even had any HE shell proposed, because With only anti-concrete shells, we ain’t gonna clear caps.

They bent reality for gameplay with the SturmTiger, so it’s possible

Well it seems like it had HE developed for it. 11:03
