Foxhole

Game Idea: Pack Howitzers
This might sound like a nerf to Howitzers, but hear me out.
Currently, Howitzers are basically static artillery pieces that you can build almost anywhere with a hammer and some Bmats. Looking at the size of them, it doesn't seem very realistic for a squad to build such a large weapon with just a hammer and some Bmats.
However, in the US military, they have Pack Howitzers (the 75mm Pack Howitzer M1), which are smaller artillery weapons that are designed to be broken down into multiple pieces so they can be carried by a squad of troops, and then the squad could construct the howitzers where ever they are needed.
In the game Foxhole, we could have a Pack Howitzer that could be built in the same way current Howitzers are built, but they would be smaller and they could be transported easily.

- A Pack Howitzer can be constructed with just hammer and some Bmats.
- It would be shippable
- And if the developers ever add this feature, the Pack Howitzer could be pulled behind cars and trucks.

My idea is that a Pack Howitzer would be a step up from a Mortar, but it would be a step below a full-sized Howitzer (which are most likely to be built at construction yards and moved around in a similar way to 68mm Anti-Tank Cannons). Pack Howitzer would use the same ammo as a normal Howitzer, but the stats of the Pack Howitzer gun could be lower.
The idea is that this weapon could let the game be more realistic without forcing Artillery squads to rely more on Logi.

i like this, it'll also help diminish the amount of howitzers that just get forgotten and left behind, never to be used again.

A mobile artillery should have been added when AT gun was introduced.
