[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5842713, member: 34175"] Okay, let's just agree to disagree on this until sea trials. :) lolz - yeah I was thinking the same thing. But when you talked about movement, I assumed you meant shoot on the run, something tanks can do, and ships sort of do when fighting other ships. They come to "stop" when bombarding. And yeah, the Germans found out about naval bombardment and ship roll the hard way. :lol: Now here is where we agree. My point was one of the stated uses was classical bombardment, which I stated was foolish. Now I still think as a ship to ship this thing is awesome in a bottle of hot sauce. Ah, got it. Actually you would mount this on a M155A3 Paladin Chassis (Self-propelled Artillery), beefier recoil suppression, larger ammo containment, better engine (for this purpose - more power less speed), less computer storage and less "super cool" tank driving mechanisms. But, even with self-propelled, the Military still uses drag along as well, and since you have to set up a command station when you employ a battery, a separate power station would be easy to add the mix. And if they did employ it using both platforms, you now have standardization across the board for artillery. Something that makes the Pentagon really really happy (as well as congress because they no longer have to pay large sums for multiple weapons systems.) So while I don't disagree with your mobile artillery usage (and in fact heartily agree that would be the most efficient usage) drag along could be revolutionized by this technology. [/QUOTE]
