They are able to keep up with Armor and Infantry to a degree. The accuracy and range improved dramatically.

The job is 100% manual labor for E1-E4. Once making E-5 and E-6 you&#39;re still on the cannon doing less manual work about 75-25% manual work. This is the Army&#39;s version of ditch digging. This from my experience being a 13B and 13A (Field Artillery Officer). LTC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:19:35 -0500 2017-02-21T11:19:35-05:00 2017-02-20T10:22:42-05:00
