Hello Folks! Welcome to the seventh instalment of the Thundering Steel Artillery collection, a collection of mods made for re-filling the workshop with fresh ww1 artillery

This is French infantry support, serving since 1916. and for the nerds, here’s some more info: "During the First World War, the guns saw widespread use with both French and United States forces and were designated the 37mm M1916 in U.S. service. In combat, they were found to be wanting, and it was found their intended task of destroying gun emplacements was better done by mortars. As well as infantry use, the guns were also fitted to the M1917 light tank, the first mass-produced U.S. tank. These tanks entered service too late for World War I, and none ever saw action.
During the interwar years, the U.S. Army organized its infantry regiments with ‘howitzer companies’, armed, with among other heavy infantry weapons for want of actual infantry support howitzers, 37 mm M1916 guns. The Regular Army could not afford to maintain full companies (instead of using platoons), but the National Guard could. The Army adopted a .22 calibre sub-calibre device as an economic measure that allowed training with the guns on indoor ranges. By 1941, the howitzer companies of regiments were disbanded and converted to antitank platoons; the Army put most of the M1916 guns into storage, scrapped them, or converted their mechanisms for use as sub-calibre training devices for heavy guns. Some were used in the Philippines campaign in 1941-42 as antitank weapons due to shortages of the 37 mm gun M3. The Japanese Type 11 37 mm infantry gun was based on this design.

Have Fun and remember to favourite if you liked the mod, or write in the comments what you think could be improved/added.
