This is the third part, unluckily for you all is not the last ;)
requirements
fired in combat in WW2
range 12 km
weight max 7.5-8 tons (i thinked 7.5, the triple of 2.5 limit used in the light challenge but i don't want that some howitzer is out for a few hundreds kilos) (all the howitzer...
following the light field howitzer race, here that for the heavy howitzer
my proposal for the requirements:
actually fire in combat in WW2
shell 90 kg or heavier
time to ready max 1 hour
max range 12 km or more
the light field howitzer was a common piece of artillery in WW2 what is your choice?, we can take in consideration also specifical national trouble (like minor countries or not motorized countries)
in WW2: so only weapons that had fired in battle of WW2
light field howitzer: main thats around...
