Me and my brother are trying to determine how far the "Big Bertha" tower can shoot in meters. But we can't figure out how many elmo's would go to a meter or a EU (hammer unit). Could someone please give me a translation?

Also keep in mind that, for design reasons, the Big Bertha is only firing in very flat angles in the game. You need to account for its true potential:

The engine default tree stays at constant height across maps and is a pine in ZK (~30m according to wiki). You can measure its elmo height to get a ratio.
