Looks like a range finder to me.

Mobius -> Maxim Gorky I - Sevastopol (8/31/2010 12:55:19 PM)
There it is again on the hill in the background. [image]local://upfiles/21308/32576D624E754CB6839D3267E18BC651.jpg[/image]

TR Shrum -> RE: Maxim Gorky I - Sevastopol (8/31/2010 10:46:21 PM)
It would appear to be one of the Soviet Coast Defense Batteries. There were four such four-gun batteries on the Baltic Coast, two four-gun battieris on the Black Sea Coast, and two batteries in the Far East. The battleship turret was designed by the Metal Factory in 1909 and was based on the modernized mountings for the 12"/40 (30.5 cm) gun used on the Andrey Pervozvanny class battleships. This weapon is usually referred to as "Model 1910-1914" in western sources. Without seeing more of the map I can't get any more specific as to exact location or type.

Mobius -> RE: Maxim Gorky I - Sevastopol (8/31/2010 11:01:15 PM)
Yes it is Battey 30 north of Sevastopol. You can find it as well as the rangefinder with Google Earth.

I've read about the battle thirty years ago, never ever imagined I could someday just "google earth" it. And thanks for the link.

And here's the original. [img]http://www.allworldwars.com/image/001/30thBattery-MaximGorki-54.jpg[/img] Range finder on the command center. View from the guns block [img]http://www.allworldwars.com/image/001/30thBattery-MaximGorki-09.jpg[/img] Range finder. View from command center to the gun turret #1 (barely visible on top of the height).

The strength of gun turrets are a bit of a problem for the Germans. [image]local://upfiles/21308/6E5664477BE047EA85BB35E1F9775E8D.jpg[/image]

Are demo charges available in PCO?

"German super heavy mortar "Karl"? I would love to have this baby on my side. And what about rail guns?

Mad Russian -> RE: Deal With It (9/16/2010 4:45:39 AM)
Yeah, Karl could be put in PCO. It fires one time and the Germans win. It clears the entire map with a single shot. Weapons systems like these don't usually make it into tactical level gaming for the obvious reasons. Good Hunting. MR

gijas17 -> RE: Deal With It (9/17/2010 4:59:19 AM)
Is "Karl" considered a experimental weapon?

DBeves -> RE: Deal With It (9/28/2010 10:58:26 PM)
Well - Battleship turrets dont usually make it in either.

Mad Russian -> RE: Deal With It (9/29/2010 12:07:40 AM)
Good point. [&o] Good Hunting. MR

quote: ORIGINAL: gijas Is "Karl" considered a experimental weapon? No, Karl, Thor and all his Krupp relatives and cousins were the real deal and saw action just not all on the EF[X(] And therefore should be included as atleast off map support! Would be cool anyway, guess you wouldn't even have to make a detailed rail gun either for the map as it fired on targets from the other side of the planet...[:D] And don't forget the Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen and escorts for some offshore support as well which I just so happen to have a pic, look to your left: <<<<<<< She was involved in the late war evac support of Civ's and of course Military personal in the North which were trapped by the Red Hordes[:(]
