Thetoad believes ,it is time to give our second favorites,across the pond ,a well deserved thank you.
My expertise spans all the ways used,planned,conjured up in those fertile minds,that allow us to kill each other with more efficiency on an hourly basis.
Today,the subject is artillery.King,of the battlefield.
When you consider the shape of pieces,whether land based,or naval,they all have had the same shape,,,,,,,,for hundreds of years.Even the U.S.Army M.L.R.S.,is a tube........
What has changed,in artillery,during that period...Thetoad asks ?
Only one thing,,that was taken up by all branches,,EN MAS..
RECOIL
Unfortunately,we have the French,to thank for that.The fruit of their labors,was shown in the French 75.More than just revolutionary,it is,and has been,the cornerstone,of every operational artillery piece,,,save the mortar,since it's introduction,during.......my favorite war,,,,,the war,,to end all wars,,,,,yes...WW1
Any thoughts,,,,,,,,ideas,,,,be my guest...
