Very accurate and mobile gun capable of large scale catastrophic devastation during a time when missile guidance system were in their infancy and virtually worthless?

They weren't very effective because they were hardly used and were brought to the table to late (logistical problems with moving projectiles/propellent and getting the guns themselves to a location where they would be beneficial after train routes had already been targeted/destroyed).
