That would explain it. But “shell” is the projectile flying out of muzzle, where “cartridge” (or “round” or “ammo”) is the complete package with casing and propellant. Shell that isn’t one-piece is usually a sabot or shot.

banjoman150, 180 mm guns are usually siege artillery and employ numerous loaders and even mechanical loading assistance.

Then again, the main issue here is a lack of Heavy tanks, but then again, the Chinese don’t have TDs OR SPGs, and probably never will, so this shouldn’t be a problem (plus if all else fails they could have a couple of end-tier heavy tanks representing ex-German tanks pushed into service and later Soviet models.

Hmm…a Czech tree, you say? Well, if they could get away with adding the Chinese, they can add the Czechs, who had far more options for tanks than the Chinese did (they actually HAVE TDs and SPGs, unlike the Chinese, of which half the tree consist of T-34 and T-54 derivatives)

Several guns of varying sizes were completed, and two were used to bombard the city of Luxembourg. The original 50-gun Pas-de-Calais site was knocked out by British heavy bombers before it became operational, but the Germans continued to produce more guns for other locations (all either ineffective or abandoned before completion).

Unfortunately, it’s a smoothbore gun, so we can’t have it in WoT…

One vs two piece shells. I haven’t found the weight of the KS-30 APHE shell itself. All in all they are probably roughly equal.

180mm one piece shells … yeah because the loader is able to lift 75 kg more than once without braking his back …

Ohh yeah thats the longestand biggest gun/cannon ever build. It was designed to shoot from france to london. Only reason it was not completed is that the americans took the facility it uncompleted pieces were.

The barrel was, if i remember correctly, 120-130meters long and it was planned to place 3 of those next to each other forming 1 unit with 3 units in total. So they planned to build 18 guns in total

Just in case some of you dont know what V3 means: V3 = Vergeltungswaffe 3 meaning vengeance -weapon 3

Ohh please SS keep us up to date because i love chinese tanks so far and a TD line would be awesome

Sadly most nations abandoned the idea of a TD as its tacticall possibillities are limited.
Would be a shame if China was one of them
