I heard you 155 boys fired on a few TW villages some time back. True? or urban legend? Another was that there was a big gangfight at a place in Kaoshiung called "dixiajie" - underground street - between SAF and local "tai-bao" during which the place caught fire and burned. True?Originally posted by dragg:when the whole battalion fires (about 12-16 155 howitzer guns) together the feeling is like the sound actually shoots through your heart. i remember vivdly the ducks all jumping after the shot.
frankly i dont like the feeling.
imagine the taiwanese villagers bearing with the noise pollution of our live-firing for so many years.
the 3 round burst capability on the FH2000 is because of the flick rammer.Originally posted by tvdog:Another question is whether the new 155 - including the SP - do they have a three-round burst capability or is it my imagination?
I'm sorry, just to be clear: the FH2000 is capable of 3-round burst, true?Originally posted by Moonstriker:the 3 round burst capability on the FH2000 is because of the flick rammer.
If the incorporate it on the LWHS or the R**** , sure it'll have 3 round burst firing.

FH2000: 3 rounds in 20 seconds / 6 rounds in 1 min depends on operational requirements and crew capability.Originally posted by tvdog:I'm sorry, just to be clear: the FH2000 is capable of 3-round burst, true?
What about the new Primus SP?
And question for dragg or any arty guys out there:
I can roughly imagine how useful if the initial burst is 3-round burst cos you'll catch the most people not yet taken cover. But is this 3-round burst something that is sustained or are subsequent fire single shots only?
Are there any tricks to the firing pattern you can share if they are not classified?
For example, would you guys like cease fire for maybe 10 minutes so the enemy think it's safe to come out and then you let go again. Sorry, very amatuer scenario.
And what kind of shells do you use for what situations? Example when do you use air-burst, delay fuse, WP etc...?
Am interested cos arty kills the most people in modern wars.
