Wait...it is not the Sun Gun, it was just the Gustav!

"Practice Rounds"
I get the feeling with projectiles that size it doesnt make much of a difference

Now I remember. The same railway gun that the Kriegsmarine girls took back from the Europe Event as a souvenir.

Yamato just happy she was useful in the situation is all. I bet you could keep her content if you gave her a paper route.

It was used by Prinz Eugen for a surgical strike against Ark Royal in #2904176

Warspite playing both sides.

How very British. /s

"Overkill" is not a word that exists in German language.

I was right, well they bring it home as 'souvenir' after all post #2856778

And the Germans crashed the party with some sharp British intelligence!

The Continentals pull it off again!

There is no "overkill". There is only "open fire" and "reload".

To cite Guderian: "Nicht kleckern, sondern klotzen!"

The German shipgirls do so love their new toy, don't they?

It's fine, it's fine, I've learned this from RPGs! If you load them with rubber bullets, then even supersonic projectiles only deal concussion damage which will knock characters out but never kill them no matter how much concussion damage exceeds HP!

Pretty sure its Pudding who's manning the rail gun with that zeroed accuracy

This may not be the place to ask this question, but: How did the Japanese language came up with the word "IGIRISU/IGRIS", (instead of "INGURANDO") when refering to England?

It's from the Portuguese for England, "Inglez"; many foreign words in Japanese come from non-English origins, particularly pre-Meiji. The Portuguese were one of the first foreigners to not only come, but stay in Japan (particularly missionaries), and thus introduced many foreign words into Japanese - and thus the Portuguese versions became the standard.

Similar words are /pan/ 'bread', from the Portuguese "pão", /anke-to/ 'survey/questionnaire/' from the French "enquête" and /arubaito/ 'part-time job' from the German "arbeit".

Bisu: TIRO FINALE!!

The largest battleship ever built, said to be a symbol of the invincibility of the Japanese Emire...

And her only actual battle against other ships ended with her being chased off by a bunch of tin cans.

Girl's gotta have some self-esteem issues.
