That's Disappointing · 1:52pm Jan 31st, 2014
I won't spoil the episode for people who are waiting until Saturday to watch it, but I will say this: the 105mm Mk. II party cannon I use as my avatar is no longer the pinnacle achievement of shindig gunnery.
Maybe to you it was just a poorly-photoshopped howitzer clumsily inserted onto a random Ponyville background, but it was special to me, damn it! I thought that being able to provide indirect party support at a range of up to four miles would keep the Mk. II the canon of choice of party planners/amphibious assault forces for years to come, but...
Oh well, back to the drawing board, I suppose. Maybe I can convert one of those 16 inch Iowa-class deck guns. Does anyone know where the USS Wisconsin is moored?
Mark II Lightweight Towed Party Cannon, 105mm
Update: On second viewing, I've noticed that the new canon doesn't have a a rifled barrel, there's no way that it can beat the Mk. II in range and accuracy. I might still be in business!
