Regarding German MG's.

Tomorrow some young aspiring Sergeants are getting a 14 day visit from Lt. Jaeger. We are going to train at Åndalsnes. The MG's range built by the Germans during the war has a maximum range of 1300 meters. A range that is fully possible to shoot at when the MG is mounted on a tripod. With the decline of the 'human waves' it is less useful though. However it is interesting to see how many tracer rounds who are airborne at the same time at that distance.

But MG's are not artillery.....

As for 'favourite' artillery, it's the 25pdr.
