The 240 mm howitzer motor carriage T92 was a self-propelled howitzer developed by the United States during World War II. The same mounting with the 8-inch gun M1 was developed as the T93
A limited procurement of four pilot vehicles was ordered in March 1945, and the first was finished in July of that year; only five would be built in total. Two T93s were completed by September. All contracts were terminated with the end of the hostilities.
I mean even the kv 2 is gross with how big their explosions are so idk man this might be fun… but not for the infantry but they did add gorillas so maybe it will be?
These are SPG aka self propelled guns.
SPGs are designed for direct fire use, Self propelled artillery/howitzers are designed for indirect fire though they can be used in direct fire role as well.
The difference is that SPG are better armoured and usually have weapons for protection against infantry. SPAs have more gun elevation, naturally.
Anyway, my problem with this thing that this is an artillery piece and is too lightly armoured to be an effective tank, not to mention the super long reload.
It would be forced to camp, just like the panzerwerfer or bm-8 katusha.
No, an SPG has a “gun,” most often an anti tank gun such as the 76mm M1A1, 90mm M3, 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48, etc
An SPH has a howitzer, such as the 105mm M4 Howitzer, 75mm Howitzer M2, 152 mm M-10T howitzer, etc
Regardless of if it’s used for direct or indirect, a self propelled vehicle with a howitzer is an SPH
Self-propelled artillery (also called locomotive artillery ) is artillery equipped with its own propulsion system to move toward its firing position. Within the terminology are the self-propelled gun, self-propelled howitzer, self-propelled mortar, and self-propelled rocket artillery.
In the past, self-propelled artillery has included direct-fire vehicles, such as assault guns and tank destroyers, which were typically well-armoured vehicles often based upon the chassis of a tank. In lieu of the standard tank’s general-purpose main gun that fired both high-explosive and anti-tank ammunition, direct-fire vehicles had specialized roles, with assault guns providing close fire-support for infantry and tank destroyers mounting an anti-tank gun to take on enemy armour.
