  In WW1 my late wife’s grad was a crew member on a Big Bertha. In one attack, three Big Berthas destroyed an entire Belgium city. Her grandfather survived the war, but not his hearing.

  Those animators doing Cartoons about Tanks could gleam a lot from this video.

  At least you could get the images correct, this is ridiculous.

  Yet the conventional large long range artillery still hasnt lost is effectiveness even to this very day, in some instances they have many advantages over missiles, one being cost.

  I love videos that explain stuff. Look, making a prompt and telling AI to make a picture just to reject it, it can get hard.<br>What I suggest is mixing in real life pictures etc.

  The Paris gun or the Kaiser Weilheim Gun was not much more than a pay-op. Of the original 20 Atomic Cannons the only ones that exist are on Ft Riley, Ft Sill, and Aberdeen Proving ground. I’ve seen all the remaining ones.

  The German’s ingenuity sure is impressive. &nbsp;Their achievements in engineering and technology have brought about many of the things we depend on in everyday life, minus of course atrocities against humanity.

  The M110 Howitzer also fired a 19K nuclear round...

  How about a little more consistency between each picture. If the weapon looks like one thing in one picture and completely different in the next picture, it kind of takes away credibility from the whole video. Still interesting, though.
