Warhammer Online - Fun Stuff - Meet 'Helga' the huge Cannon

I thought this was kinda funny, as it reminded me of World War 1 and Big Bertha ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha_(howitzer) ).

It's an Easter egg in my opinion.

Does the cannon actually do anything, or is it for looks?

I wander if the other races get things like that.

[Mamboi]

Just for looks. It's acutally for a quest. As you can see me accept one at the beginning.

The firing you saw, was after you completed the quest.

[Spacepope3k]

Its also used in a PQ in the valley, you have to kill an Orc Warboss who is preventing an engineer from putting up the flares to signal to Helga to fire. If you win, Helga Flattens an Orc base :D

[Mamboi]

Oh, didn't know! Thanks for info!

[QuestionableUsername]

One of the devs said something about a big cannon in the podcasts...sure it wasn't that? For a dwarven PQ?

[Mamboi]

No, this is not a PQ. It's in the dwarven starting area.

ok the goblin tied to a cannon ball is rly grotesque, tho i love it. yay, video-game violence

[curtisdead]

I love the dwarfs :) in the German Version every time the cannon fires every dwarf in the fortress cheers and screams "Yaaa Yaaaa Yaaahaaaa HELGA". I guess it's the same in the original Version of the game

She's beautiful......

[Kareios]

There was a big german cannon in WW1 called "Dicke Berta". This is an innuendo, i guess.

[Raethar]

that's a big ass cannon

[seanconneryyayay]

yeah they used it once (it was mounted on a train) and it leveled a whole city

[breastinspector2]

Yes, this is that cannon that fires into the Dwarf Chapter 1 Public Quest. This is that cannon that makes the avalanche if you beat it.

[RoughNeck205]

Wasn't their an artillery piece mounted on railroad tracks back in world war 2? I haven't seen this cannon in the game, but every time I want to explore I get sidetracked by rvr or a quest that's just around the corner.
