155/39 TM
Notes: This is an Italian update of the US M-114 howitzer, which was supplied to Italy after World War 2. This same gun is used on the Italian version of the M-109 (the M-109L). It is an M-114 re-barreled for a 39-caliber gun, and with elevation, traverse, and mount modified to cope with the increased weight. The firing platform is moved forward.
Twilight 2000 Notes: The 155/39 TM was originally developed for the export market and for the M-109L, but was taken into Italian service with the start of the Twilight War.
