Just reading jager's book and other sources its clear that many heavy artillery like the 13cm, 15cm and 17cm naval guns were used by germans to compensate for long-range artillery
but none of these sources [ which are all in english for me sadly] give any numbers e.g how many guns were by 1914 or end of 1914 in such use ?
so its hard to tell if they really made a difference
does anybody have more information on this
esp the guns i am interested in are :
http://www.landships.freeservers.com/15 ... one_ir.htm
http://www.landships.freeservers.com/17 ... one_ir.htm
like the last link gives the total converted but does not give the number operational in 1914
question #2
germans had a model 1904 100mm long range gun how many were operational by 1914 ? Jaeger says 32 ONLY !
and he mentions also a 130mm long range gun does anyone have more information on how much of these were avalible
thank you
