British Army BL 8-inch Howitzer Mark VI 1:72

In 1915, the British corporation Vickers created a new 8-inch caliber gun, which received the military index Mk.VI. This was a significant constructive modernization of the previous development of Mk.V, the improvements touched first of all the hydraulic mechanism of the rollback of the gun barrel. In combat, the shelling sector was 4 degrees to the left or to the right, or to 50 degrees up. The state-owned part of the gun has acquired a new, more modern look. The combat range of the shot reached almost 10 kilometers, but the weight of the gun compared with the previous version increased by more than three tons. In order to transport the gun to combat positions, it clashed with a cumbersome fore part.
