Talk:List of artillery by type

message: I renamed the entry acording the teminology used in the official website of the Artillery Branch of the Argentine Army (http://www.artilleria.ejercito.mil.ar/quees/ac/subsistema01.htm).  DPdH (talk) 12:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: CITER 155mm L33 Gun entry

message: I've found 2 entries ("GCT AMX 30 AuF1" and "AMX 30 AuF1") pointing to the same WikiArticle, I guess that it has been an error that lead to duplication but unsure which designation is the correct one. If nobody opposes before next week, I'll eliminate the duplication in the table (will decide which entry to keep based on a bit more research).  Regards, DPdH (talk) 05:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi all, just wanted to say that I do like the new format given to this list. I concur that it seems to be more like a directory of artillery lists than a list in itself! ;)  Regards, DPdH (talk) 08:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment about the "New Format" 

message: Hi All, I've noticed duplicated entries for the Pampero MRL and the CITER 155mm L33 Gun, and unified them under the name I could identifiy as more accurate. I'm unsure if I picked the more representative name for the 155mm gun, as both which were used in Wikipedia are used by the Argentine Army.  Additionally, will add an entry for the VCA 155mm SP gun based on the TAM tank; and will check consistency among all the existing Artillery Lists (this will take me a couple of days, pls be patient...).  Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 05:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision of argentinian artillery entries  

message: I noticed that the section on recoilless rifles only has a few listed under a self-propelled section.  Also the link to the main article on recoilless rifles does not list recoilless rifles.  I added the entries from the list of recoilless rifles.  If anyone feels that this clutters the article to much we could at least link to the list of recoilless rifles like the section for anti-aircraft guns does. Idsnowdog (talk) 23:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Recoilless Rifles

message: The current categorization has no logic. 
There is no distinction between gun types and gun system type.
Take for example a gun that is manually or semi-manually loaded and fires fixed or semi-fixed ammunition.
When installed on a battle tank it is called a “tank gun”.
When installed on other types of vehicles, the entire system is called “tank destroyer”, “self propelled anti-tank gun” or “assault gun”, if installed on a fully enclosed turret-less armored vehicle. 
When installed on a towed carriage, with elevation limited to low angles and limited traverse, the entire system is called “anti-tank gun”.
When installed on a towed carriage with elevation available for both high and low angles and unlimited traverse its called “anti-aircraft gun” like the soviet KS-19.
Some times the stated name of a gun installed on a self-propelled system are not the true name of the armament but actually the name of an entire towed system armed with the same gun.
For example, the name of the gun installed on the Russian 2S19 Msta-S a self-propelled artillery system is definitely not 2A65 Msta-B, a towed artillery system although both 2S19 and 2A65 may share the same 152 mm armament.
I suggest unification of the sections covering field-guns and howitzers. Today there is no real differences between weapons named “guns” and weapons named “howitzers”. All have barrels longer than 25 times of their diameters and all can fire at high angles.
I suggest removing or renaming the section “self propelled infantry guns”. 
It covers assault guns which have nothing with the light infantry guns.
I suggest removing the section “self propelled anti-tank guns” because most vehicles armed with AT guns do no appear on the table - conventional battle tanks.
