Looked into this,the FJ 10.5 recoilless(cost 27 at 70 exp.) has more heat rounds but no AP.
The FJ 7.5 howitizer(cost 33 at 70 exp.) has much less heat ammo but does have 5 AP rounds.
Both are size 0 and have 2 MP's circa 6/1940.

Makes a difficult choice which way to go

The way this sort of stuff usually goes for me, by the time they'd have run out of ammo either the rest of the army has shown up and its all good, or they've been overrun and its all irrelevant

Having tried both, I am more impresed by the 10.5 cm version - much more OOM-PAH! on the HE and HEAT departments. The AP rounds on the 7.5 cm version just didn't feel like providing much added value.

Of course those really into historical accuracy might want to check the production numbers to decide which version would have been a more common sight in your average FJg battalion.

Not ever using either before,it looks like the 10.5 recoilless would be more effective against armour with the HEAT at closer range and better at soft targets at long range.

Even though the 7.5 howitzer has 5 AP rounds many would probaly miss or deflect and has fewer HEAT,and we know the 7.5 has little effect on softies.

I'll put my money on the former rather than the latter and save on some buy pt.s
