Hope they're firing AP rounds!

Good point- but at least in WWI, the French 75 only had two types of rounds – shrapnel and high explosive!

I wondered when we would see the "iron giants" again.

Somehow, I don't think the artillery stands a chance.

Good idea – their best (and only) shot!

If you disable the fuses (or take them out), HE shells make quite effective AP rounds against metal plate. Six inches of face hardened armour? no. A giant made of its of ifon? yes.

155mm HE will demolish pretty much anything it hits though.

The French 75 was essentially the Sherman gun.
