[QUOTE=Superstormj;26294118]The B-52 ain't got shit on this bad boy.[/QUOTE]
Well, you know, maybe the thing it was designed for? Flight.
I bet they would have used it for hauling unwanted persons to Siberia. Cram a few hundred in that bastard and then slingshot it into the coal mines.
Mother of God

Why is it so big?
The plane in the photos are not the same plane as in the animated pics.
That's even more un-practical than the Ratte or Monster. Cool sure, but completely useless.
[QUOTE=cdejong;26293706]Wait... so did they actually fly?[/QUOTE]
They actually did. they did a flight over moscow during a parade and after that it crashed.
It wasn't a bomber, it was just a luxury transport for those more equal than others.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;26293956]Aww, the one with the fucking 16 inch battleship guns is just a re-imagining and didn't actually exist. Now my day is ruined.[/QUOTE]
It can't exist, cause those guns are held in place by gravity. The bottom one would simply... fall off.

[QUOTE=Furioso;26293922]reminds me of stalin's orchestra[/QUOTE]
Stalins orchestra was a fake.
Too bad it's cheaper and better to build many small planes/tanks/whatever than one huge plane/tank/whatever. I would love to see hundreds of modern equivalents of these attack something, at least in a movie.
That is so fucking cool.

and i saw an image of one of those in flight over a city somewhere. Hang on I'll try and dig it up.
It's propably one of the most useless and impractical designs ever made to be on the face of earth.
It cound't bomb anything, it'd be itself bombed to shit, plus every AA gun within the range would be able to zero in on it, and it'd be impossible to miss.
And with it's top speed of 3 it'd coudn't evade even the moon.
It's like a closed cockpit TB3.
I wish they would actually rebuild one, it looks so cool
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;26293676]Looks like something out of a steampunk movie. I like it.[/QUOTE]
I'm annoyed by idiots like you going at everything remoltely cool "OOH THAT LOOKS LIKE STEAMPUNK"
Steampunk is not the only punk ever, this shit is dieselpunk, if anything, dawg.
Go get yourself some education on punks, punk.
That thing looks like my local library
Ahh, Russians, you and your flying tanks...

Your library has Naval Cannons on it?.
Nice! I'll buy 3 of those. and another one for [i]the[/i] wife.
[QUOTE=goon165;26294857]Your library has Naval Cannons on it?.[/QUOTE]
yes
[QUOTE=goon165;26294857]Your library has Naval Cannons on it?.[/QUOTE]
You mean yours don't?
My librar is so naval cannon'd that even the bookshelves have little naval cannons on them.
That plane looks so fucking rad, but I doubt it can take many hits before breaking apart.
[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;26294885]You mean yours don't?[/QUOTE]
well no it just has one large one,
It shells your house If you don't return a book on time.
That thing can get off the ground? If it can, then I'm impressed.

Regardless of it's reality, I fucking want to see that thing flying and shooting.

Haha, I didn't even see the bottom one, and yeah not to mention the weight of the gun + mount will make it impossible to fly anyway.
It would look slow and cumbersome.
Edit:
More like completely immobile, I bet the thing couldn't even take off.

The whole cannon would have to be rebuilt from the inside. Everything is upside down.

I find it somewhat depressing that the huge awesome things are always uselessly impractical.
That is beyond EPIC
