I do have a question however, isn't a howitzer some form of mortar? In the game Age (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Sweet! Although, I'm a fan of the overall-grey scheme used on fleet aircraft. You really captured the shape, and it's more obvious in the pic next to the F-16. (18 years ago, 3-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military)
