M301 Angurvadal
155mm Self Propelled Howitzer
Spontaneously decided to hop back on and get to work on an SPH, which I've failed repeatedly to do. The main gun here is the 155mm little brother of the M115A1 160mm Lightweight Field Howitzer.
General Description
Seeing as Spartan Ballistics had yet to create a reliable and well-functioning SPH, the decision was made to put in the effort to. The first designs left much to be desired, either not having sufficient accuracy or whatever the case, but then came along the Swedish Bkan 1, a 155mm SPH with an insane automated reload rate. This SPH was loosely inspired by it, and features a 20 round bustle autoloader with a staggering 2.4 second reload time. Its name, Angurvadal, means "Stream of Anguish", and as such fits this vehicle. Why? It can put a stream of shells into the air and be out of the area before the first one impacts.

@ShinyGemsBro
Anything you'd like to see improved or changed? Curious
@SpartanBallistics
Ah that makes it all the more better
It will also function as an overpowered fire support vehicle
TFM Central Command VERY MUCH APPROVES THE MODULARITY
@ShinyGemsBro
By all means, you can use it however you'd like lol
Although, to justify the stupidly heavy weight for what SPHs typically have (35 tons), I kinda had to give it armor kinda like a modern light tank. Means now it can be used closer to the front lines and can take far more than just shrapnel and small arms fire like most SPHs
I am SO tempted to use this as the TFM ground forces' new mobile howitzer.

Tank Q :3
GORGEOUS
