Re: German artillery pieces with low HE penetration
Hmmm, for some reason I did not think about the possibility of Austro-Hungarian designs - makes sense. A bit embarrassing, considering that I have even spent a day visiting the impressive Austrian military museum in Vienna.
Taking a look at the OOBs, there certainly are a lot of 10 cm howitzers of various types in usage by different countries around the former Austro-Hungarian empire. This also means that the Germans could have ended up with captured 10 cm howitzers from a lot of sources (eg. Austria, Czech, Poland and Yugoslavia) - and a plenty of work for the ordnance officers trying to keep track of all of the different guns in the inventory.
