    There equipment is no better or worse than ours as we and they make knockoffs of each others equipment and I see the General Lee use of artillery is totally lost on you!

    You don't know what you are talking about. The Russian equipment did not perform as advertised.

    Also, to compare Civil War artillery and tactics with modern artillery and tactics is nonsensical.

    The equipment is nearly identical!
    Nobody has came up with anything better or it would have been eliminated from field manuals by the PC crowd!

    Any Youtube of ballistic characteristics of our current artillery performance would show our advances since whatever.
