General
An American designed 155mm self-propelled howitzer, the M109 family of vehicles represents the most common Western indirect fire-support elements. It is, or has been, in service by nearly all European and Middle-Eastern militaries along with numerous second world powers. The turret mounted 155mm M185 L23 cannon fires HE, HE/RAP, Illumination, ICM, DPICM, Smoke, Area Denial (FASCAM), and chemical rounds. Beginning with Steel Beasts Pro PE version 3.002 the M109A3 is fully functional as an indirect-fire artillery piece capable of firing HE, smoke, and DPICM missions, along with limited direct-fire self-defense capability.
