Technically there is historical precedence in using 155s for close in support for urban combat. During the push into Aachen, the US used 155mm M12s in direct fire to blast through the brick and mortar buildings and fortifications in the city. The M12 earned its nickname "Doorknocker" thanks to the 155mm cannon's ability to pierce seven feet of concrete at ranges up to 2,000 yards.

Everytime I’ve seen Bo talking about the 155 I’ve always been reminded of what I’ve heard about this! From what I recall they used the self propelled version, not the towed one, but they were unexpectedly effective.

During the Battle of Manila in 1945, in order to destroy the urban strongholds the Japanese holed up in, in particular the old Spanish fortresses, 155mm Long Tom guns were brought up to the front and used in a direct fire role (To the End of the Earth: The US Army and the Downfall of Japan, 1945 - John C. McManus)
@bobsemple653728 күн бұрын
You know the Americans actually did this. In their doctrine books they would bring their big guns to direct fire on enemy positions from barely a kilometer away.
