Real Life "Kerbalisms"

Recommended Posts

A flying boat is already Kerbal enough.

Flying around Kerb err the World is yet more Kerbal.

Flying a flying boat around the World is incredibly Kerbal.

Doing that by accident after telling the wife you are going to be a bit late for dinner is Jebedyah Level of Kerbaliness!!

Incomplete Kriegsmarine heavy gun positions near Liinakhamari. Or..

sooner or later someone will find a hidden project from them strapping a naval gun on a plane, a blimp or something....

It’s been awhile since I played Combat Flight Simulator 3, but in it there was a German plane with an anti-ship cannon. I forget what caliber….

You're probably confusing it with the 75 mm AT gun.

I also know of a Soviet "heavy fighter" proposal with a 100 mm stuck inside Tu-4, the B-29 clone.

So, you know how we all wanted a tank that's also an armored train?

We thought the best we'd get would be the imperfect machine that is Magnolia:

We were wrong. I've just stumbled on DT-BTR Arktika. Presently only the front half exists, but I suspect the rear is just a passenger box.

Norway's army has an articulated tracked craft, think its produced in Sweden, its smaller and not armored, pretty popular in Antarctica. 
This looks like an larger as in 3.5 meter wide craft with an low velocity gun at the rear. 
One downside of this design is that if you drive over an drop the back carriage will tilt a lot as all the people in the back and their packs and guns will hit the front wall. (wearing an helmet is an good idea) 
Hope the ammo for the gun is well secured, don't think you would shoot on the run with this, its artillery

The Vityaz series are essentially enlarged relatives of the Swedish snowcats with some alterations for the mechanical joint.

The Magnolia in the photo over there just has a Vena 120 mm rifled mortar plopped on top, yes.
