Untergangsschildkröte

According to Google translate the name translates to "Doom Turtle"

(and yes, it does look like a famously unproduced American superheavy assault gun)

It's honestly ridiculous and of limited practical value on almost every battlefield, but I still kinda dig it.

(record sheets includes the base model and the obvious artillery and artillery cannon versions)

Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

Drop some ammo and give it hardened armor!

Then I'd like to add a LAMS as well to use some of those free SHS.

Counterpoint: Increase the ammo to at least 50 rounds, if we're RPing as WW2 US army designers, where the worst thing that could ever happen was for a tank to have less than 90 rounds.
