    I'd say the german one, mainly because the front panel is flat. Makes it easier to differentiate between howitzers and field guns for the detail-blind like myself

    You should make polls for these btw, may be easier to measure the community opinion.

    I'd go with the German one, however keep in mind that they favored Howitzers over fieldguns...
    That is the flaw in your theory, gentlemen and I will not help you out of it. If you choose to deal with men by means of compulsion, do so. But you will discover that you need the voluntary co-operation of your victims, in many more ways than you can see at present. And your victims should discover that it is their own volition - which you cannot force - that makes you possible. I choose to be consistent and I will obey you in the manner you demand. Whatever you wish me to do, I will do it at the point of a gun. If you sentence me to jail, you will have to send armed men to carry me there - I will not volunteer to move. If you fine me, you will have to seize my property to collect the fine - I will not volunteer to pay it. If you believe that you have the right to force me - use your guns openly. I will not help you to disguise the nature of your action. -Hank Rearden

    Yes, I'd say the German, as Sama said, it will be easier to distinguish from an heavy howitzer.
