Back to Unit Index
Eight types of medium artillery units will be simulated in the alpha scenario of CIL:
Smoothbore Howitzer - Bronze or cast iron pieces common throughout the early 1800s, such as the Napolean.
Rifled Howitzer - Rifling improves accuracy.
BL Howitzer - Breach loading affored a higher rate of fire and greater protection to the artillerist.
HR Howitzer - These guns presaged the heavy artillery that changed warfare in the early 20th century.
Early Heavy AAA - Flak.
Modern Howitzer - Commonly ranging in size from 120mm to 155mm, later technology focuses on ammunition instead of gun.
Early Rocket Artillery - Rockets make cost-effective artillery.
Modern Heavy AAA - Like the German 88mm and the Bofors 40mm, these guns are effective in multiple roles.
Modern Rocket Artillery - 150mm to 300mm+ rockets.
