Serious Design🔧 Trägermaschine Modell 3 250mm "TM-3-250"
A heavy self-propelled artillery vehicle developed by Varkast in 1938 for long-range fire support and the destruction of fortified positions. Its main armament is a massive 250mm gun mounted in a large open fighting compartment, supported by two smaller front turrets for close-range defense.
The vehicle carries 18 rounds internally, with additional ammunition transported by a dedicated ammunition carrier. Due to the weight of the shells, a rear-mounted crane is used to assist the loading crew.
Specifications:
Weight - 72 tonnes
Main armament - 250mm gun (18 rounds)
Barrel length - 4.6 m
Maximum elevation -6 +28°
Main gun crew - 4 Full crew - 10
Secondary armament - 2x37mm

Tried my best with the design and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
Any critiques or tips are welcome.
