Identify this

Go look at it in game. Just follow the coast north untill you see a black dot. Its not directly on the shore, about 5 B-17s away. This gun is burned and ruined, and has a breach. There is only one. It seems to small to be a coastal gun. It looks like a 76mm anti tank gun.

My pick is this is a howlitzer 105 MM

they would of been in the dover area,they took out a german channel gun in france, aa gun sites were in fours or eights,in 1940 mostly 4.5 inch

It could be a M114 but I doubt it. Its bullet shield and its long barrel, not likely to be a howitzer. I think it might be a QF 6. Did they think they could seriously hit a ship from that distance with that?

Q.F 3.7 inch AA gun maybe? With a shield?

If its an AA gun its a crappy one at that. How does it point towards the sky?

i will try to dig into this this week. but there is another option...it was a training gun or site. not far from where i live they used to train artillery troops and test guns....shooting them into the horizontal shaft of an old mine.

Thats one way of looking at it.
