Description: The M110A2 was an American howitzer made in the early Cold War. The M110 was the third and last member of the M107 family. Among the three, it was the most heavily armed, featuring a 203/39 mm gun. It’s development started in 1956, and the first units were delivered in the late 1950s. One of the most unique features of this family of artillery was that since they had the same chassis, the gun could be changed whenever required, and that was exactly what happened with the Italian army. In 1963, the first order for 14 M107 was signed, and it was later increased to 41 units. From 1984 to 1985, 23 units were transformed from M107 to M110A, with the remaining 18 M107 being scrapped (only one survived to this day). Those were M110A2, which had nuclear capability. In the Italian service, they were equipped with two types of shells: the HE M106 (made by SNIA BP) with a maximum range of 22 km and the rocket-assisted HERA M650 with a maximum range of 30 km. In the 1990s, the remaining units were replaced by the MLRS rocket launcher unit. Their fare is not certain, but probably most of them if not all were scrapped.
Why it should be in game: It could give to the Italian tt a very powerfoul howitzer at a medium br. It could be placed after the M109G, giving the fact that it has a more powerfoul cannon. The only issue will be the amount of rounds.
