Look at that thing! Damn it's huge.

First of all, does this artillery piece already exist in one of the numerous mods of Vanilla BF?
If not, could someone attempt to make it for me?

The biggest gun I know so far is from FHSW (M1939 BR-5)

How bout this instead!! Ive been planning on building this thing in 3dmax for a while, the "Karl" seige gun from germany wwII. I think i got the skills now to make a model... unless someone else wants to attempt. Only 6 built & only 1 or 2 still exist... i think. Its a giant mortar on tracks. I'll give it a whirl!

Wikipedia.org link.... very impressive beast!

You could use the chassis of the existing bf1942 trains as a base for the wheels.. will need a tweak for sure!... but its a good starting point and you know its low poly already..

otherwise looks pretty fair atm :)

pretty clear pic of a model..

and pleeenty of shots here..
