The 88, I would agree with.



But for the 105mm, an SPG would be better.

Towed artillery is not a good idea imho.

All it would serve is to take an active player in the game and make him static.  Thats less fun for him, and the guy wanting to fight him.  How often do you see wirbls just sitting on there base, not really participating in anything, waiting...serving as a deterrent perhaps, but still not promoting gameplay (which is fighting each other)
I can see towed guns for only two things.

Being the easiest stationary target to kill if it's actually shooting at something.
Sitting there being useless and wasting everyone's time until someone spots it and easily destroys it.

If they implement it well, it could be a very usefull and valuable asset in a base-take mission.


Could also prove a bit of a deterent to brining the CV in stupid-close to shore. 105mm and 150mm hits would add up quick.

Hello? An M4 with its firing rate is far superior to any towed gun.

it will take fewer hits with a 105 or 88 or 150 and the 88 that we have at the bases right fires about the same rate as the M4

It would have the same problem at ranging that the tanks do PLUS for perhaps 1.5 times the damage per shot it would fire at a third the firing rate and be susceptible to small arms fire because of exposed personnel which means even a Storch could kill it.

Your right on this & that is why the correct sighting system is needed.
Also the gearing to correct for rotation speed while we are at it.
