The amazing and cool photo thread

Well, nope

But it's the same in all Airbuses starting from the A320 series onwards. I personally prefer the yoke layout though.

And here's the polar opposite of the modern A380 cockpit

Plane cockpits have too much buttons.

Plane cockpits have too much buttons.

And not enough windows.

"I'm only flying the plane, why the hell would I need to see where we're going?"

 

[Dennisch]

Because shooting someone from 100 kilometers is so much more fun.

 

[Bopop4]

At least it's an easy target for planes to blow it to tiny bits.

 

[PeterJB]

You'd have a hard time blowing that up.

And here's the shell it fired

 

[Bopop4]

You'd have a hard time blowing that up.

Not really, it's such a big target that it would be easy to hit and damage.
Plus it would need a ton of AA guns to even have a chance.

 

[PeterJB]

Easy to hit, but doesn't exactly look brittle.

 

[Jedi2016]

The fact that it was mobile also made it hard to locate. Enemy sorties wouldn't have a fixed location to go in and bomb.

But it ain't exactly incon:censored:spicuous, is it? [/Brick Top]

You have seen what bombs do to tanks and bunkers, right?

A 500lb bomb would blow that to bits. Alternatively hit the ammo store and blow half the countryside up.

Amazing engineering, but pretty useless. Everything about it is awkward.

I think that's the third time Gustav and the picture of the shell has been posted in here now.

"Oh, this big thing? Noooo, it's a prototype circus cannon. We hope to shoot a guy across the channel, nothing suspicious here..."

 

[Madertus]

Gustav's shells could go even 20 or 30 meters deep into the ground before exploding.

 

[speed junkie]

Massive animal.

 

[Dalamar]

Is that a hyena?

 

[TB]

Indeed.

 

[Dalamar]

Dudes got kahooneys.

 

[Ken]

Dudes got kahooneys.

For sure.

 

[Barra333]

It looks to be somewhat domesticated - muzzle, leash. And it looks as though it doesn't have it's claws out, which would indicate playful mode.

 

[Dalamar]

Domesticated hyena is an oxymoron. Muzzle, leash, chained to the ground, I still wouldn't be going near it.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Oh you have a Pitbull as your dog? you are so cute xD

First question: Why?
Second question: where do you get a tie capable of doing that?

 

[Lizard]

And here's the shell it fired

Ohhhh nice plane on top of that.
He 162 Salamander.

First question: Why?
Second question: where do you get a tie capable of doing that?

Either that's one long tie or the end is just out of shot.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

ohhhh crap plane on top of that.
He 162 salamander.

ftfy.
