AB M1 How 75mm is a United States Artillery unit.
Strategy[ | ]
The 1000m range direct shot of the AB M1 How 75mm is identical to that of the german IG 18: Physical damage = 1.5, Splash = 28.6m, Supression damage = 263.0, Splash = 75m! But in contrast to the IG 18, the AB M1 How 75mm can also do indirect shots at 2000m, can shoot smoke rounds and also has 5 × HEAT ammunition!
The HEAT shots should not be wasted against unarmored or lightly armoured vehicles where the HE shots should suffice but instead be kept back to be used against tougher opponents.
In case the damage output is not enough, consider fielding the M3 How 105mm.
