S.A Dora nuke defence cannon fired it's first shot today at a group of obsolete tanks (T-55s) about 400km away. it worked. all the tanks are destroyed and the cannon will be in service as a heavy arty/coastal cannon in a month or 2. (it is not suppose to be a front line weapon it is meant to be fired at invading forces with the safety of our AA guns and Sams.)

first shot

did you ask China for this? :lol:

nope its a upgraded WWII cannon :D by the germans 800mm gun

OOC: do you know how far 400 km is? Thats 2/3 the legnth of Italy. you must have packed a lot of propellent in there.

IC: Anarresa congradulates you in your advances in cannon technology, but we belive there are cleaner alternitives to nuclear weapons.

did you ask China for this? :lol:

Crazy Red Army... next thing you know he'll wanna build Overlords. :shock:

I'd rather build double barrelled paladin tanks or the tank generals Emperor tank

no when the shell is fired it will use up its speed from the cannon but when it begins to stall the jet/rocket engine will take over.(it is protected by the shell casing)

nopt being crass or anything, Imean, I love big guns and all, but whats the advantage here over, say, a mislle?

Crazy Red Army... next thing you know he'll wanna build Overlords. :shock: nah too big too slow yet powerful... but no . reason? no cash.

nopt being crass or anything, Imean, I love big guns and all, but whats the advantage here over, say, a mislle? hard to be intercepted due to tought casing. and speed

You would use this over missles for the same reason you would use a battleship over a missle frigate

Oooo, Touché :wink:

And reflecting, I guess there are a couple of advantages, for instance A shell I imagine would be over looked by most early warning systems

Could we buy, say, 50 of these? How much money do you need?

yep. try launching a firecracker at someone and he can hear and smell it coming, he may try to dodge. but try and throw a egg on him and he wouldnt know what hit him cause its undetectable....until its near him..

Could we buy, say, 50 of these? How much money do you need?its currently 50 million.... the downfall of this weapon is that its bulky . theres 3 types one is the tracked version(gonna build),he railway version and static turret

Could we buy, say, 50 of these? How much money do you need?its currently 50 million.. 50 M/each or total?

50 m each

50 m each
*$1 billion wired* Once shipment is sent, other $1.5 billion will be wired.

order confirm expect package within a week (NS)

order confirm expect package within a week (NS) *$1.5 billion wired* Nice to deal with you.

thank you. heavy production of this cannon will continue. about (500 will be build after it is delivered)

Irasland... is it your military or government who has made that order? Either way, you have no viable way buy this. Infact, keep in mind you are under our control.

To Soviet Alliance, I highly suggest you return his money, which probably is a faud to you anyway, and bring back your weapons.

good point. order cancelled and money returned... sorry you need to be liberated first.... : (

good point. order cancelled and money returned... sorry you need to be liberated first.... : ( Sorry that your first order had to be cancelled. We will deal with the underground group who made this order. In the future, though, Irasland should be on his own. I will let you know when that is, and if it would be a good idea for your nation to deal with his.

EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot, we will donate $1 billion USD for your research and advancement in this weapon, as long as it is not used against again nation without justified cause.

We will buy $1.5 billion worth of these cannons.

sure. have you been invaded and taken over by other countries??? if yes then no i cant sell if No then it will arrive at your nation within a week or 2

sure. have you been invaded and taken over by other countries??? if yes then no i cant sell if No then it will arrive at your nation within a week or 2 Uhhh... lol, nope, we haven't...

Ooooh, sinister!!! I will take 2 nuke cannons for testing and hopefully we can improve the bombs to fit this cannon. We are looking for a substance that will explode just without radioactivity with the same high level effectivness as the standard nuke. Money will be sent now.

*money will be wired apon confirmation*

yep all orders confirm. odd for Americaans to buy stuff from a "commie state" but meh. order confirmed

We wish to buy 75 of these cannons. *money wired*

nope. the nuke idea yes but the cannon is real. used by the nazis at the easternfront

We wish to buy 75 of these cannons. *money wired* confirm it will be delivered within the month (building up)

for all the idiots who think that only in CNC that you can have big guns.

used by the germans in WWII and is in our service now. later it will be modified to track version

bump

I'll take two of them. *money wired* upon confirmation.

In the interest of international safety i ask that yopu do not provide weapons to the unstable nation of SR

why?

i'd like to know the power fo blast as equivalent to the number of megatons of TNT.


also, what kind of nuke is it? (what is the core atom?)

and if it radioactive, isn't it a little unsafe to have win in your direction carrying all the radiation? and what about nuclear winter? using that too much would raise the radiation level in the air, and acid rain cant be too good for ya.

and you said its blasted from the cannon and then uses a rocket engine to carry itself to it destination? why cant that be detected? or intercepted?

also, what happens if the enemy is closer than 400k km? is the cannon automatic or is it manual.

If i order, i'd like to have it on a moving platform, and have a secondary cannon for regular defence (AA and SAMs dont work against tanks (or do they?))

and isn't a little unsafe to have a bunch of ammo crates filled with nukes next to the cannon? what if one detonates? unless it has some locking mechanism..

how much does the cannon weigh? and can it be outfitted with different kind of ammo.

and how many men does it need to operate?

Thank you,

The Government of Monkropolis

We Do Monkey Business Right!

by the time any invading forces reaches my cannons, they will be dead by my Hinds S.A.M.S

radiation blow towards me??? so? my land is mostly a wasteland so meh and at 400 KM away it is very rare for the radioactive winds to come near me. and for the rocket part?? it will be detected but it will be far too late to culculate the range,speed etc etc in time. and the rocket engine will soon be replace by a ramjet engine as soon as Dora 2 is release

the reloading is auto,requires 300 men,no the ammo wont blow up due to the armor in the ammo compartment. it weighs 190 tons.800mm caliber (soon to be refitted to a 1500mm) can carry max of 40 Shells, the core is clasified.. speed on railway about 20Km/h(2 engines) on tracks N/A (not made yet : /)

note. only idiots use this weapon as a frontline weapon.
