True


There is a limit to how much they can be upgraded, and despite overhauls, old eqpt becomes maintenance intensive.


Technology has improved alot, wheeled SPH's are nearly there. The biggest advantage is their rapid mobility.

China will upgrade the PLZ-52. It will be a huge upgrade I suppose.

@PanzerKiel B52 and G6 SPs in Bahawalpur again, more testing? Or are they from before?

Some Movement again with them recently from what I’ve heard, that’s why I asked. I know they were tested before.

G6 or T5? We were testing T5 last time.

Correct, my bad. Just thought “South African howitzer” and G6 was the first one to come to mind.
