     Big difference between a high velocity gun and a howitzer.  The indirect fire of an 88 is going to be relatively
low angle no matter how indirect it's fire is.

someones forgetting simple angle math that allows for high angle tragectories also to allow indirect fire :aok

Here is a good site that has images of all the German towed artillery (artillery, AAA, AT guns).

      Not forgetting it, if it were easy all guns would be high velocity and no one would dig holes.
I'm still waiting for the AAA howitzer description btw.

my opinion on base captures. i think hitec designed it so that it is harder to capture so that they have more time for other important things.like more plane designs,tanks,bombers,ect. other wise the have to keep resetting the maps ever other day taking away from other important work. just my opinion. and i think it makes the game much better and more fun trying to capture the city now. coming from a bomber geek.<S> :salute

I'd be willing to bet that when a map is won the reset is automatic.  I doubt HTC has a staff person sitting by a pc 27/7 waiting for a notification that a map has been won.  ;)

The new towns are far more realistic and lend to a more typical town lay out vs the previous model.  There are approximately 83 buildings in the new town vs the old town with 54 (approximate).  It does take about %40 more firepower to bring down the town, but brute force isnt always needed to get the job done.  A bit of finesse and tactical planning will do just as well.   ;)
