Flames of War - 152mm Artillery Battalion

The 152mm obr 1943 Howitzer was developed as a hybrid using the carriage of the 122 mm obr 1938 howitzer and a barrel of the 152mm obr 1938. This adaptation significantly increased the firepower and breakthrough abilities of Red Army shock units just in time for Operation Bagration. Over 2,800 guns were produced from 1943–1949, and it was extensive service in the Soviet army.
