Artillery's main purpose is not casualties, but to force the enemy to hunker down. They cant move, and the effect on morale is devastating. Many WW2 vets have said that artillery was the worst thing about war. Deafening explosions, dirt, wood and shrapnel flying everywhere, trees exploding and all you could do is huddle in your little pothole and hope for the best. And the bombardments last for a long time too. Hours and into days at a time.
@@rykehuss3435 That's late artillery doctrine. By around WWI artillery was like that. But gunpowder artillery began life as a weapon chiefly for causing large numbers of casualties at great range, and for causing serious structural damage. Artillery was used all the time in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries for annihilating enemy formations, especially cavalry, who were taller targets, and more vulnerable to large missiles. The days of week long barrages and guns of ranges of more than ten miles came very late in the lifetime of battlefield artillery, and while it did change the way the weapon worked, it hasn't completely changed its purpose or image.

Not only is this train stupidly long, not only did you have to build a snake game of a track to effectively use this thing, not only did it kill every bug colony within a 100 km radius, but you used hundreds of artillery shells to scout the map. Who needs satellites when you have HE

As a Stellaris player, I’m so used to commit genocide from the safety of orbit, obliterating planets without ever caring what the last moments on those unfortunate planets were like. Thank you, for presenting this magnificent firework, and serving the bugs a genocide they will never forget.
What did I just witness? I’m still struggling to kill medium worms with a machine gun. I had no idea the player was capable of this level of offensive destruction.
it was enemies,,,.,, i think Bertha can only directly attack nests and in the ending, we saw there weren't any more nests (large red blobs) in the range
I know this is late, but if you watch the end, you can see that when he mouses over the wagons, most of them have 70-80 shells left. That means they fired only about a quarter of their load.
Rewatch on .25 speed. You'll see how it fits in. It goes like one rail then jumps one and then one more and on the loop back it goes through those empty gaps and stops at the bottom.

Well u got think before we arrived they were all tiny it's our pollution that triggered the rapid growth response until all pollution is destroyed. Then there little again.
Somewhere i saw a calculation that if biters reproduced as quickly in the game as in real life- their planet would be a fireball after a few months from the friction necessary just to pump blood through their veins.

Oh, it looks cool just looping around like that. What's the purpose of this? It can't unload stuff like that. Maybe it just looks cool. Now that I think about it those wagons look pretty weird. Is the overlay on to show what's in them? Hm...I don't know. Oh hey the train's stopping. I guess that's the reason for the video name, the train being so long and all. (Artillery wagons start firing) Anyways I............. what? what? What? WHAT? WHAT!?!? The train is...the wagons they're... THE TRAIN IS MADE OF GUNS!?!? This is...wow I mean...WHAT!?!? OH...WOW...That is the most...beautiful and terrifying thing I've ever seen... I need to launch Factorio again... Things have changed and THEY'RE AMAZING!!!
You are both right. Big Bertha was the artillery from the ARM side in Total Annihilation and an artillery weapon in WW1. But the weapon was never officially called that way. It was just a nickname from british people for that Weapon, also referring to the fat daughter in the Krupp familiy who made that Gun. But that weapon was never a railroad cannon, unlike Schwerer Gustav. That's a huge Gun.
Though, never as devastating as the revolver like monster cannon, the Father to Big Bertha, forgot it's name. That thing, when it started to shoot, would need atleast 20+ Nuclear reactors just to allow it to shoot without much drag... Or it would be slow or empty ALL energy reserves nearly instantly... EDIT: "Vulcan" The cannon i was talking about was the "Vulcan" takes up 30 nuclear reactors to keep it going steady, for just ONE Vulcan cannon. But it's super darn devastating too...
I thought "oh that was cool way of making a train track" and then when i saw it was all artillery wagons, I actually yelled "OH NO" out loud. I actually felt bad for the bugs
I've heard about how "the factory must grow", but this has taken it to a whole new level for me. You'd need a megafactory just to make enough artillery shells to run that.
holy shit. Yeah those bugs have probably never seen a man before but now their new god Big Bertha is raining hell upon their families and ending their puny existence on a whim and a youtube video.
Didn't realize those were artillery wagons before the train came to a halt. Nor did I realize how similar laughter is to an orgasm, especially a laugh lasting 60 seconds. Well played, sir. I was thoroughly entertained.
Not too long if the ammo is already manufactured. My current production lines will make just over 500 artillery shells per minute. The train has a capacity of 12,800 ammo.
Michael Lundgren wow, even with all that ammo production it still takes ~25 minutes to produce enough ammo to fill it. Not too bad considering its size but still... That's epic!
+ Dyworld, cause the nuke in there is currently bugged and has a blastradius as big as the artillery range :D (some thick walls will protect the train) And yes atomic artillery inherits that behaviour.
Sinrise no, I've known Factorio since 0.11, no need for introducing me to the game. To be fair, I've yet to properly use the artillery since 0.16 came out (in a non-cheat save).
It's so...BEAUTFIUL! This is even better when you watch the video without reading the description. You just see the train do the little concentric circle dance and then let the magic happen.

Absolutely awesome, but what happened to the train. A large section of it was destroyed, it happened just after 2m into the video, just as you started manually targeting the perimeter. It doesn't look like the biters and I can't figure out what happened, there wasn't even a message that they were destroyed.
Yeah, that seems like a possibility, but it doesn't seem to make sense either. I've been looking at the segment over and over, and I can't think of anything you did to cause it. Seems more like a bug, that caused a mistargetting, or the shells exploded on being fired maybe? I doubt the devs considered that much artillery being fired at once. Something may have glitched out.
I've had mis-fires like this as well! And on a much smaller scale (4 artillery wagons). It happened after I did the "binding the map drag key to another button" trick and was firing all over the place, too.
I suggest you use 2 trains: One *Attack train* with all the guns that will be stationary & shooting stuff, and then another *Supply train* that goes back to base and gets more ammo for the attack train when needed.
