The mörser gerät 40, the derp gun to rule them all (joke thread)

[gfdrfgedg]

So i’ve contracted the silly and now I want to suggest the mörser gerät 40 (not really don’t add this please) a series of 7 vehicles could maybe make them possible with the new multi vehicle system (they are not possible)

SPG with the 60cm gun

way too short history and description

Anticipating thewar, the German Army recognized the need to overcome numerous heavily fortified positions, many of which were reinforced with concrete and buried underground. tis led to the creation of our fellow right here by Rheinmetall which the first units delivered from november 1940 to august 1941.
This guy had 600mm barrel with a range of around 6km which could change with the use of heavier or lighter rounds.
But this was undesirable since it left crews exposed to enemy counterbattery fire, so it was ordered in February 1941 to extend the range as much as possible, how could this be done?
by a longer barrel and a smaller caliber and because designing and producing an entire new chassis was expensive they decided at Rheinmetall that they would just change the gun
to a 54cm barrel.

SPG with the 54cm gun
Even after the highly problematic design of the 54cm mortar and after being cancelled, the firing trials were finished and the current leader which I don’t know if it can be mentioned here ordered the production of the first 3 planned vehicles, which vehicles I, IV and V were adapted for the 54cm gun but never used it due to lack of ammunition.

I end the history section here since im lazy.

So let’s say the Gaijin higher ups get hit with the biggest famine ever, need money ASAP and decide to turn to this thing, which by the way I think it’s impossible to add due to:

I don’t know how would they program 18 gunners but ok.

You guys are free to discuss what BR would this thing go to and maybe if some of you are crazy enough I can try to make a suggestion for this. But let’s be honest this would the worst vehicle in the game since no way it goes to 1.0 and even there it would become a building sized CAS magnet.

Things like these should’ve been in-game through events or things like that, either for testing during a short period of time or to celebrate days or real life events. The Sturmpanzerwagen A7V and all the other World War 1 vehicle is a example of this, not the most reliable of vehicles but still something.

Serious suggestion, this could be the centerpiece of an objective based game mode or map. Even make it player controlled.

[gfdrfgedg]

it would be like the sturmtiger but it keeps trading mobility and protection for firepower.
I wonder what BR it would go to

[Константинович7]

Surprisingly I’d believe this could easily be placed at battle rating 4.7 as a playable vehicle, due to the size you’ll need more than one HE round to overpressure and crewmembers are all over the place and a strafe from aircraft could easily damage the exposed modules such like breech and knock out crew.

With introduction to modular anti-air system where the radar and launcher are installed in separated vehicles, as the Gerät needs a ammo carrier vehicle such like the Munitionsschlepper, this could solve one of the problems for a vehicle where the player can control instead of an AI-only.

and now that I’ve thinked this the 18 gunners can become 17 loaders and 1 gunner, the more loaders you kill, the slower the reload

[Hurlalala]

[gfdrfgedg]

that’s how having the 18 loaders would look like
killing 2 makes it 25 minutes and the match ends
