This reminds me of a modern Ferdinand/Elephant. But with a long big axx gun.

Looks like a Panzerhaubitze 2000 to me. Here it is on the Wiki
Jon you are the man. That’s it alright. Thanks.
You’re quite welcome Marc! Had to do a little looking up as I didn’t know how to spell it off the top of my head…2 years of German in high school got me no where.
Nice Geman Howitzer…Good 155mm Machine!!
Rounds complete!!
I’ve seen one in person. It’s an impressive machine and one of my favorite SPG’s for sure. I’ve been debating getting the Revell kit for awhile.

“In burst mode it can fire three rounds in 9 seconds, ten rounds in 56 seconds, and can fire between 10 and 13 rounds per minute continuously, depending on barrel heating. The PzH 2000 has automatic support for Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) for up to 5 rounds. The replenishment of shells is automated. Two operators can load 60 shells and propelling charges in less than 12 minutes.”
Speaking as a 109A3 Chief…
Daaaayyyyuuuummm…[:D[
I’ve fired HE under my own illum, but never 5 rounds on a ToT…
I don’t care what anyone says… that is badass
Hi Marc,
There was a whole expose’ on this fantastic weapon on The Military Channel… it has repeated a few times…
try to catch it…Shows the complete automation loading sequence … don’t blink… you will miss it ; )
Been trying to decide for some weeks wether I want to put a Leopard 2 or one of these guys on the back my Faun SLT-56 Tank Transporter. While it is a beast it just doesnt look as sexy to my eye as the M109

True that… It looks like a FAASV with a gun tube…
