[Aktungbby]

What's this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13603

[Catfish]

WW2 ?

[Jimbuna]

Russian?

[Aktungbby]

WW2 ? Later

Russian? similar

[Eichhörnchen]

Deployed now ?

[Aktungbby]

definitely! 50 are rumor to be currently deployed.

[Catfish]

If you mean the north korean M1989 "Koksan" the business end does not match?

[Aktungbby]

...you got it! Over to you. They were recently seen at a important railway stop on the Trans-Siberian railroad; presumably enroute to assist the N.K. 'cannon fodder' in taking back the Kursk 'pocket' before pending D. Trump deals a peace settlement most likely conceding Putin's ill-gotten territorial gains. They were also used in the Iran-Iraq clustyrfuque. They were based and descend conceptwise from old Russian naval guns. Over to you! The 'business end didn't match 'cause I edited it out to be more obfuscatious! :salute:

[Catfish]

^ Oh you .. :shifty:
:03::haha:

But with the 'reiving end' I meant the muzzle, seems the newer ones have some kind of flame suppression(?)

Ok will look for another one

[Catfish]

What is this?

[Aktungbby]

a Krupp steel smelter?

[Catfish]

No.. ;)

[Eichhörnchen]

mining machinery?

[Jimbuna]

During WW2, the Germans developed a "wind cannon" that was supposed to create an updraft powerful enough to bring down Allied bombers. (It didn't work.)

[Catfish]

This is the one!

https://i.postimg.cc/sXd2xhRq/Windkanone.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Over to Jim :)

[Aktungbby]

...otherwise known as the vortex cannon?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not surprised it didn't work - it looks more like the top of a scrapyard

[Catfish]

^ it did work up to a distance of 200 m, but only on stationary targets :88)

[Jimbuna]

What is this beauty?

https://i.postimg.cc/sX4GmsmC/wwwww.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

In your diecast collection?

[Jimbuna]

Yes.

[Eichhörnchen]

Looks like the back end of a Phantom (Spey variant)

[Jimbuna]

That'll do :)

https://i.postimg.cc/8C8qBSsH/IMG-0888.jpg (https://postimg.cc/21wcrgQb)

Over to you :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

I recognised the hook first then smooth tailpipe, which gave away the variant. Back soon:Kaleun_Salute:

[Jimbuna]

Yeah, I actually thought the cropping could have been a tad more crafty :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Well the red deck stripe was cunning

A car?

[Jimbuna]

A car?

I was thinking that :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes it's a car

@ Osty - that's a good one - I'll save that for later

Over to Vinny

[Aktungbby]

What's this? https://subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13604

[Ostfriese]

Bachem Ba 349 "Natter"

[Aktungbby]

over to you!!!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Catfish]

Nice one with the Volvo, did not recognize..
But where is this part, first photo of your post
^
Well the red deck stripe was cunning

https://i.imgur.com/ZBogCsf.jpeg So what's this?

[Eichhörnchen]

It's the fancy ridged fairing running forward from the taillight cluster to the rear wheel arch

[Ostfriese]

I've been fascinated by the "Natter" since its inclusion in "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" (from 2001 - I'm getting old...)


Here's the next one: what's this a part of?


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13605

[Aktungbby]

an aircraft?

[Eichhörnchen]

[QUOTE=Ostfriese;2933559]I've been fascinated by the "Natter" since its inclusion in "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" (from 2001 - I'm getting old...)/QUOTE]

I loved playing that but I have so many classic games I got distracted and never reached more than halfway through - a timely reminder for me to revisit it - it had so much atmosphere!

Is this thing connected with travel on water?

[Ostfriese]

an aircraft?

Is this thing connected with travel on water?


Neither.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does the nozzle emit steam?

[Ostfriese]

Does the nozzle emit steam?


Yes and no. It does emit water vapor, among other things (so yes), but it's not steam as means of power transmission like in a steam engine or a steam turbine (so no).

[Catfish]

It's the fancy ridged fairing running forward from the taillight cluster to the rear wheel arch
Ah I wondered what those stripes were, just a reflection :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this some 1920's tech?

[Ostfriese]

Is this some 1920's tech?


More or less, it's slightly earlier (just a few years though).

[Eichhörnchen]

Used in WW1 battles?

[Ostfriese]

Used in WW1 battles?


Yes.

[Jimbuna]

Part of a tank?

I've never been to any subsim meetings.

Markus

^
Yes - I don't think anyone's tried Sweden yet

I'll allow this second guess but only because it is incorrect.

I find it hard to believe the individual in question has lasted so long but I believe it is patently obvious because the Meet photos are no longer viewable.

[Eichhörnchen]

Our Slovenian boat-building backwoodsman friend?

[mapuc]

Well I make a chance(don't know if this country have been mentioned)

Canadian ?

Markus

Yes, both sorely missed but still keep in touch from time to time.

[Eichhörnchen]

Italian? Surely to God that's the last European country on the list?

[Jimbuna]

Niente :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Is he on my friends list? I think not

[mapuc]
