M-109A3G
Notes: This is an upgraded version of the M-109A3 modified for the German Army. The vehicle has a longer 45 caliber barrel which allows longer range. The M-109A3G also has door locks, a new travel lock, and auxiliary driving controls in the main compartment, a supercharged engine, and modifications which allow the power pack to be changed more easily.

PZH-2000
Notes: This vehicle began to replace the M-109A3G in German service shortly before the war. The vehicle features heavier armor than the M-109, radiation protection, an automatic shell loader for rapid fire and restocking of ammunition, a 52-caliber gun barrel for increased range, and increased ammunition stowage. The PZH-2000 has an integral fire solution and control computer so that it may operate without an FDC, and may fire accurately within 3 phases if the target's location is known. The PZH-2000 has frequency-hopping radios and a GPS system for land navigation and fire plotting. A computer controls the entire array, and fire solutions are largely automatic. A 5kW generator is provided to run the system with the engine off. An outstanding feature of the PZH-2000 is its ability to engage targets with direct fire while moving.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Comparable to the US M-109A6 Paladin, the PZH-2000 was in short supply in the Twilight War.
Merc 2000 Notes: Budget cuts resulted in the PZH-2000 production being cut by almost two-thirds.
