The Bertha is a massive cannon that fires high-energy plasmoids across the map. Used appropriately, it can effectively suppress enemy operations from the safety of your base. Do not expect it to win battles alone for you, however.

==Tactics and Strategy==
Big Bertha lives up to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha_(howitzer) its ancestor's] name. It is used similarly to its ancestor too: bombarding the enemy base from a safe, distant location. After a while of shelling an enemy defensive line, you can send in the infantry to mop up what's left. Alternately, you can shell the enemy base directly and reduce it to rubble.
+
The long range and loud noise of the Big Bertha can be used for a little psychological warfare. Scout the enemy base. Have the Big Bertha shell the enemy base and prepare for a heavy attack. If they have an army, they will panic and send it to your defences in a last ditch attack. If you've prepared enough, their army will be destroyed and you can mop up their base with your army. If they don't have an army, keep shelling and destroy their base.
 
 
Be careful, as the enemy may make a push with all their available units to destroy the Big Bertha. Have some defenses ready, especially around the gun itself.
