Yeah, we do gun pages for direct-fire field guns but not howitzers, those just get ID'd on the page for the work. Evil Tim (talk) 02:32, 26 July 2018 (EDT)

To play devil's advocate, I suppose you can argue that in this, and only this particular role, as armament on a gunship, this is being used as a direct fire weapon. But that's really splitting hairs. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:18, 26 July 2018 (EDT)
