They differed from howitzers by having a very high elevation, about 75 degrees. I dont know what the shortest range was, but it cannot have been much. The smallest charge gave the 7,5cm a max. range of 800 meters and fired the round at a whooping 92 m/s. Max. range with the largest charge firing HE at 210 m/s was 3375 meters.

The 15cm gun reached 1475 meters max. with the smallest charge and 4700 meters with the largest.

To clarify myself,I was asking from the perpective.. "as it is in the game"
I undertand that there will be special varinces in history,i'm just a gamer,not a historian

One thing i might add or caution others,don't buy those IG's if you plan to use them for bombard,they are direct-fire arty..italians have alot of them.
