Give it up man ! Face the music !
My M1045 could not fire its TOW missile while on the move, but it was still
an armored car. You didn't hear ME bitching. Okay ... you did hear me
bitching, but I built it anyway.
I was reading about that G-6. The thing is huge ! At 1/6 scale, it would be
more than 68" long. The three foot rule puts it at about 2/23 scale. A
monster.

Subject: [TANKS] Re: Self Propelled Artillery?
Further research has determined that the G6 Self Propelled Howitzer is
incapable of firing while on the move. I assume this is also true of
other vehicles of this type. I request further clarification from the
founding fathers regarding assets of this class. While "on the move"
is this asset type classified a support vehicle? While not on the
move is the vehicle then classified as an armored car? But with an
armored car designation, this implies an armed asset that can move
under it's own power, but when moving it cannot fire.... ....
thus ..... a ... supply.......... vehicle............
I also request a clarification on the G5 Howitzer (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5_howitzer). This is the tow-able version of
the G6. It is equipped with an APU that can propel the piece for
limited distances at up to 16km/h. Is the G5 classified as a "movable
piece of artillery", thus requiring it to be towed everywhere, or as
an armored car due to it's self propelled capability?
