US/UK probably can have Bishop and M7 Priest.

The game is already unfriendly towards high-caliber weapons with a long reload.

For the purposes of killing infantry, 105mm or 120mm equipped tanks with a 10s reload are the most useful among those with larger calibers. IS-2s and such simply reload too slowly to make a meaningful impact.

And the same logic applies to any howitzers that are going to be added into the game. It’s why short-barrel 75mm-equipped tanks with a 3s reload can kill swathes of infantry faster than any other large-caliber gun ever could.

Bigger isn’t better.

AVRE Mortar Churchill, the new BR3 Sherman is already coming with a howitzer, Priest and Bishop and not to forget, the M8 Scott should actually come with HE and HEAT, instead of AP, since it was also a support fire vehicle.

M45 would be my goto since we already have the 105 Sherman and the M8 Scott
Other than that there’s a few others
The M7 Priest
M40 155mm M2 gun strapped to an M4A3
M41 “Gorilla” 155mm M1 gun strapped to a lengthened M24 Chaffee chassis
M43 203mm M115 Howitzer strapped to an M4A3
T19 which is a Halftrack with the 105mm M2A1
T30 which is an M1 pack howitzer on a halftrack
And the one least credible due to it being a T26E3 and therefore likely not in WWII, the T92. 240mm on a T26E3

Agree
