Description

The Surer Emil was the most impressive self proppelled gun the German scientists ever developed. This monster carried a 12.8cm gun
with a 25’6”/7.8m long barrel.
This fired a 58lb/26.4kg shot at 2887fps/880m/s. It could penetrate
120mm of armour sloped at 30 degrees at 2000m and over 200mm
at point-blank range.
Despite the weight of the shell, the spacious fighting compartment
allowed the two loaders to maintain a good rate of fire.
Most tanks simply disintegrate under the impact of the 12.8cm L/61
gun. Even the heaviest super tank cannot withstand it
