How the Army is getting its big guns back

[Mr.Soxes]

That is a battleship and sort of off topic.

Well it shot 3000# projectiles a long way!

[Peter1469]

They have always had that ability with a whole lot more quantity!

No they haven't out-ranged us in the past. And their accuracy was crap. Not any more.

[Mr.Soxes]

Not for artillery.

Why so many different ways to fire artillery then?

[Mr.Soxes]

No they haven't out-ranged us in the past. And their accuracy was crap. Not any more.

Sure thats the reason they pushed the Germans back!

[Cletus]

Why so many different ways to fire artillery then?

Range and accuracy. That is what matters. If cannon $#@!ers can't engage the enemy with precision fire from outside the range of the enemy's own guns, they are about useless.

[Peter1469]

Well it shot 3000# projectiles a long way!

From the coast.

[Mr.Soxes]

From the coast.

I never heard of them beaching them!

[Mr.Soxes]

Range and accuracy. That is what matters. If cannon $#@!ers can't engage the enemy with precision fire from outside the range of the enemy's own guns, they are about useless.

Would it not make sense for the enemy to try and do the same thing if this is all you wish to accomplish!

[Peter1469]

Would it not make sense for the enemy to try and do the same thing if this is all you wish to accomplish!

That is why we want more range and more accuracy than they have.

[Captdon]

Nothing like a reborn "cold war" for defence contractor profits.

White flag?
