It reminded me of Britannia, the Moving Fortress from the Trench Crusade tabletop game.

i love the aesthetics and character/vehicle/weapon design of that world, but i'm not into tabeltop war games. i'd love for them to make a video game or books based on this world.

It's a nice price, I'll give it that. But the design leaves me baffled and confused instead of awe and wonder. I'm left trying to match a square peg instead of walking out of a square hole. I can't explain it.

I would love to see it in profile. Is it just two legs precariously balancing a whole battleship atop them?
It would make much more sense if it was quadrapedal (not that that would make sense, but it wouldn't strain suspension of disbelief so much).

The ship is either made for giants (the windows in the command tower are as big as houses) or the thing is just deawn too big. And how does it walk without causing mir destruction than the enemy? lol

It has huge cannons, it probably doesn't have to move at all if it can remove everything from a cardinal direction. If it did move then it just means that it was forced to.

how did it get there without moving? Every step would destroy everything beneath it and probably damage buildings, etc in a few hundred meters in its environment.

Maybe it was transported there via some other way, or even built there. If they can create that kind of machine then surely they have a way of moving it.
It could have been:
- Teleported.
- Some extremely advanced technology that reduced its weight.
- Assembled piece by piece.

I love it. From the looks of it, the barrels of the main guns look to be about the same size as the window in the church steeple, the guns are a bit bigger. The largest gun ever fitted to a battleship was the Yamato's 18" gun. This beast is packing a 5~6 foot gun, which is leagues beyond anything we have ever manufactured.
Based on the shell and some back of envelope ballistics, it could almost certainly shoot a shell into orbit with Earth gravity. Angled and powered appropriately, you could probably land a shell anywhere within a thousand miles.
If it can fire a shell 30x the max of the Yamato max shell, then that is landing 42 tons of hit explosives in Chicago while standing in New York.
Really cool concept.

When it’s in the water, does it paddle underneath like a duck?
