Can you ever have "too much" artillery?
Yes... when it becomes too much of a burden to move it all into theatre and it ends up just sitting mothballed in a storage yard for it's entire service life without ever seeing action... that's when you have too much artillery.
if a little is good
and more is better
then
too much should be just about enough
>>28387659
Fuck no.
Bombardments are key to victory.
shore battery is best battery
>too much
No such thing as too much when talking about weapons.
THE MISSION OF THE FIELD ARTILLERY IS TO KILL AS MANY GODLESS COMMUNIST BASTARDS AND THEIR SUBHUMAN COHORTS AS POSSIBLE WITH THE LEAST EXPENDITURE OF MUNITIONS, AND TO COORDINATE ALL SUPPORTING FIRES SO AS TO RESTORE CAVE-DWELLING AS THE DEFAULT FORM OF HABITATION IN THE FORMER-COMMUNIST REGION.
SO BE IT UNTIL THERE IS NO ENEMY, AND THEN.

when it makes dust and smoke clouds so huge your forward observers cant see what your shooting then perhaps you have a little too much

It is a snowflake of destruction.
>>28387659
No, assuming having so much Artillery doesn't equal neglecting the rest of your forces
>>28387665
I thought this was a quadcopter drone under a Chinook for a minute until it dawned on me those were howitzers
Hey wait a minute, thats a pretty damn good idea
/k/, we need to bankroll a howitzer quadcopter drone
>>28387917
and the recoil problem in mid air can be countered by firing a round from the opposite pair
but how to deal with prop wash ?
>>28387933
Have an extra howitzer underneath the howitzer to fire at the same time to counteract the rotors?
>>28387917
pew pew
>>28387917
The propwash effect on the shell trajectory? just make the rope longer if you think it's a problem.
>>28387917
I think a recoilless rifle drone could actually be fairy effective. Potentially more accurate than artillery, and cheaper to fire than a missile.
Possibly an adapted, reloadable M72?

germans was like this too
look what happened to them hehe :^)

Remember, never try to drive tanks or March troops across ice in front of those things. The Russians apparently didn't know this was a bad idea.

Read Frozen Hell recently huh
>>28388022
>>28387945
more concerned about the twisting I think its like 15% in most case
but this will change with the weight of projectile and force of wash
>>28387987
have the recoil from each shot rotate it like a daisy wheel in the opposite direction of the prop wash
dat rate of fire
>>28387659
Never
>>28387689
This picture made me shiver with excitement
Thanks Anon
>>28388003
:D hahaha
This made me laugh
Thanks
Indians actually manages to make artillery uncool. Pretty impressive.

Didn't the slavs try recoiless guns in aircraft in the 1930s? Ammo capacity is what will kill the idea as the things had 1 volley and that was it. They might work as cheaper replacements for hellfire missiles.
>>28387659
No
>>28387659
My gut says no, but the Germans were crazy enough to build these
the US wants to fly most of their logistics places for some reason
So they don't like using much artillery
When you have more guns than ammo
>>28389158
You have no idea what you're talking about.
1) The US uses shitloads of artillery
2) Most US artillery is air-mobile
3) Road and sea are the main logistic route
>>28388024
Nah, just rewatched Fire and Ice. They had a little CGI rendering of it.
>>28388253
I don't think Sweden had any direct involvement in the Winter War.
>>28389203
He's talking about this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_Across_the_Belts
Also there were like 10 000 swedes fighting for finland in the winter war. They gave them a ton of weapons, ammo and supplies.
>>28388132
but not at all surprising
