Tiers
History
Western Doctrine
The M1203 NLOS is a tracked hybrid electric/fuel artillery vehicle weighing in at 27 tons. It transports two crew and 24 rounds of ammunition to any frontline with the intent to provide networked, precise, heavy, long-range fire. The fully automatic 155mm/38 caliber cannon has quick-change capabilities that enable the rapid changing of round types and rate of fire. The hybrid technology allows the NLOS to perform key surveillance roles without a running engine, offering tactical stealth as well as the obvious benefits to increased fuel economy.
Eastern Doctrine
Weighing in at 55 tons, the tracked 2S35 Koalitsiya - SV howitzer is the most capable unit in the world. Operated by three, well-protected men, the Koalitsiya has a 152 mm/52 caliber main gun, as well as a 12.7 mm machine gun with which to conduct its affairs. The fully automated loading and handling system is capable of firing a wide range of munitions a distance of 30 to 40 km at 8 rounds per minute. She will carry 60 rounds of ammunition on board, with an optional system that allows for reload from a truck. And if that’s not enough, she can also build herself a trench within 12-40 minutes with her entrenching blade.
European Doctrine
The 55 ton German Panzerhaubitze 2000 is a tracked howitzer fitted with a powerful 155 mm main gun. She supports a crew of 5, and features a chromium-plated, 8-meter long barrel which is fitted with a slotted muzzle brake for added muzzle velocity. She has a fully automatic loading management system that comes with a standard 32-round primer magazine. She is noted for her high rate of fire, and in a burst, will fire off 3 rounds in nine seconds, and depending upon barrel heating, is capable of firing 10-13 rounds per minute continuously. She holds 60 rounds of ammunition on board.
