Posting it here; perhaps one of teh icon geniuses can take it and give it that "oomph!" that makes you go "awesome!"



Description of this beast

Mark,

I guess if I am considered one of those "icon geniuses" you speak of, you wouldn't have a pic of the turret would ya..."P 1000 turret ended up at coastal defence battery (Batterie Oerlander) near Trondheim, Norway."? Because evidently that actually was built, by my understand of that statement?

The book "My War is Tank" has a three view of this and other bits of WWII fantasy kit.

Gotcha!

Currently it's Battery Örlandet museum, near Trondheim, but the turret isn't from Ratte, it's Caesar turret from Gniesenau with three 280's. Still, the turret should look the same

I'll be damned, I found it on Google Maps!

Sorry - it's a library book and my scanner is trashed. You are right though, this thing is a monster.

For anyone else who went scurrying looking, I think Pat meant "My Tank Is Fight".

Here are the basic files needed to drive around and blow things up. The scenario is called 364 Ratte's nest is is in no way balanced. The 280mm needs a lot more tweaking. I started on the revised German oob, adding AP to the 280 but it's not quite there yet. Very cool to see Russian infantry swarming over this monster.

I luuuv this icon. Just love it. I'm going to marry it.

But in the shp, 0109, I can see the turrent but I can't see the hull. Am I missing it?
