(...) Yes indeed! I've been looking at pictures of armor, and I couldn't figure out the specific differences, though I'd noticed the greater range of howitzers. Some of them are just downright scary, shooting over the horizon and whatnot. Thanks for (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) From what I know (as a guy that used to ride in those howitzers :), tanks are much more heavily armored, faster, and can shoot while in motion. In contrast, howitzers have very light armor, and have to be "deployed" in order to fire - they (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Bwahaha! Well, since the company's Riff Industries, it's pretty clear that I know what you're talking about.
