@Pilotmario I think they would fare well against one another. They both have good guns, good mobility, and the ability to fire and move, Both good systems.
@MadBomber I wonder how this fares against my M135 Paladin.
I mean, although the Paladin is old enough to be its grandfather, it's been upgraded heavily since then. And they're both 155mm howitzers with comparable performance.
@MASB29 Thats about what a real modern SPG sells for unbelievably. :)
4.5 Million?!! You are not planning to robe me right?
@Supermini555 sure np $4.5 million per copy. I hope they serve ya well.
Can I order a few of these SPGs so that I can evaluate them? @MadBomber
@Coolandcompany TY
Nice one
