Default Re: Italy OOB 34 corrections/suggestions (v.11) 2018

Infantry Howitzers:

28 Cannon Montagna - it should be 149/12 howitzer, not L17 - https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/149/12_Mod._14 Range was only 5610 m [now 144]. Maybe its name should be changed, to reflect the unit better (others in this class are named by caliber)

(in fact it was heavy corps howitzer Mod.14, but its range was inadequate as an off-map weapon. There was also mountain modification Mod.16 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1...a_montagna.jpg but it isn't clear from the quoted page if they were still in use during WW2).

593 Cannone 65mm - as I've mentioned in Spanish thread, a range is quoted as no more than 6500-6800 m (now 142), and icon is long-barrel twin-trail gun (I suggest 2108)

Same for 635 Cannone 65mm colonial gun

594 Cannone 70mm - should be 70/15 instead of 75/17 - old colonial/border guards gun https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/70/15

Same for 636 Cannone 70mm colonial gun. Icon should be 2108.


595 Cannone 75L17 - probably it should be Skoda 75/13, used in big number https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0...,5_cm_Vz._1915. Then photo should be eg. 4273 and icon 2109, like Romanian one.

Same for 637 Cannone 75L17 colonial gun. Icon should be 2108.


596 Cannone 75L19 - it is apparently the same as 19 Obice Montagna of the same class (in fact 75/18, not 19 https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/75/18_Mod._1934/1935). The latter has correct picture, icon and range (although best icon seems 2163).
(There were two models, Mod.34 with smaller wheels, easily dismantled and Mod.35, better fit to motor towing).

Same for 638 Cannone 75L19 colonial gun.

597 Cannone 105mm - captured in Greece https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnei...mm_M_Mle._1919 - should be available later [now 6/37]
Range was 7850 m here [now 208!]
