My beloved
>>65191337This seems like it would both be hilarious effective and ineffective at the same time. I see that truck suffering a lot of damage from recoil.
>>65191306https://www.jstor.org/stable/26296200> The application of firepower on the battlefield was an absolute obsession for Van Fleet from the moment he arrived in Korea. He realized that China had an almost limitless supply of manpower that could be fed into the furnace of battle, while he was already outnumbered and had been briefed that he could expect to receive no significant reinforcements.> As Van Fleet saw it, the only way to counter the infantry-dense Chinese assault formations was to meet them with powerful artillery fire. Shortly after the first impulse of the Chinese Fifth Phase Offensive was thrown back in April, Van Fleet circulated a directive to all artillery battalion commanders in Korea, stipulating a new rate of fire that would be expected of them during any future enemy attack. Dubbed the Van Fleet Load, this directive called on gunners to achieve a rate of fire five times that utilized during previous operations in the Korean War.> Van Fleet inspected the IX Corps sector of the front just east of Seoul and told the corps commander, General Hoge, that “this line is the best place to kill the Chinamen. It’s better to do it here and now—this month and the next. I want lots more wire and mines expended, not human life.”> "I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the CCF doesn’t expend a full army attacking in column of divisions against this position and the way the men feel about it is that the Chinks will be piled ten deep before their position is breached. Just for good measure, I am going to give them some engineers to improve the defenses and a little thickening up with 155 millimeter and 8-inch howitzers. I too, want to go back to that spot and see those Chinks piled up like cordwood."> By 28 April 1951, the first wave of the Chinese Fifth Phase Offensive had spent itself and Peng’s battered divisions broke contact and limped northward having suffered an estimated 79,000 casualties for no tangible gain.
Just found a game called IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator, feels perfect for artilleryfags like me

>>65192353>200 rounds of 155mm>per gun>per dayWe truly live in the ruins of once great civilizations
>>65191614>>65191432What if these two had a baby (203mmXswedish autoloader)
>>65192353What does that do to accuracy and barrel life?It's better than being overrun and you don't need precision accuracy in that case but how quickly does that toast your rifling?
>>65193728We still had WW2 stockpiles and production capacity
>>65193749I was aware. That doesn't answer my question.
>>65193169Get on my level
>>65193436>Commies waited until after we nuked the japs to do anything, despite the billions of dollars of supplies we sent themI hate them so much.

>>65193804What are you talking about? They bled half to death in Europe with all that equipment.

>>65193804They did rape and kill most of the occupants of Berlin.No nukes got them there.
>Developed by Ansaldo, these two models were similar in design. The guns had good ballistic properties for their caliber, but their stabilized mountings were too advanced for their time and experienced many technical faults. The mountings were stabilized in four axes; training, elevation, roll correction and pitch correction. Eleven gyros were used in a very complex arrangement to maintain stabilization. RPC was fitted but removed from the Duilo class in 1942, apparently because of water damage. The Littorio class had their mountings located much higher and retained RPC. However, even these ships suffered from frequent electrical and mechanical breakdowns.
