155mm slingload gun

[slyvenne]

In order to give more power to transport Helos with combined arms, is it mossible to have tracked 155mm gun with the possibility of sling load?

Thanks for your great job

I assume you're referring to the M777 Howitzer?

Happy to be corrected, but with the Mi8 having a max load capacity of ~4000kg, I think the M777 is too heavy to slingload. It certainly is too heavy for the Huey.

 

But I wholeheartedly agree with you that we're in dire need of something actually useful to slingload to the front!

Yes, M777 is a bit too much (or need a new transport helo )

[slyvenne]

But 105mm, maybe possible

Yeah, would be good to get the M119, and it would be good if there was core functionality to give you a reason to slingload.

So firstly, we need the howitzer in the first place, and secondly we need to be able to slingload functional units.

Slingload or not, I'd be all on board for having Towed Artillery pieces (which is what these things are called btw). We have them for the WW2AP, why not have them for the more modern scenarios?
