Talk:FH70

Intended Replacement
I highly doubt this artillery was meant to replace the M114 Tracked Command Vehicle of the Viet Nam War era. Did the author mean the m198 Howitzer? 137.53.85.122 (talk) 18:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Alex Cranson

The M114 Howitzer - the WW2 equipment - was in service with the West German army at the time of the original specification. By the time FH70 was finally in service, that equipment was long gone from front-line service, replaced in the main by M109A1 & A3 and M109G. 13:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.70.102.1 (talk)

Ammunition
There are suggestions that the ammo designed for FH70 is 'NATO standard', before stating that please provide a STANAG number for standard 155 mm ammo. Nfe 10:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

UK usage?
Are these guns still in use in the british army or have they been mothballed/scrapped/sold on ? daft, 21 July 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.65.189.42 (talk) 14:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Original Research
I just added the Original Research tag to this article. There are essentially no references in the main body of the article. There is one reference that is never cited, and the one citation refers to a reference in Japanese that is obviously just about the Japanese use of the weapon. In addition one author basically admits to original research, based on his personal experience with the system ("The writer of this section, who worked the equipment for a number of years..."). The policy on OR explicitly says "Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material...". While valuable and interesting, there are reasons why Wikipedia has the "No Original Research" policy and they should not be lightly disregarded.Darkstar8799 (talk) 21:59, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

FH70 or FH-70
It may be worth noting that neither seems to appear in the title of the UK official documents, the official title being given against the UK flag in the article. Therefore it's possible that there is no official version of FH-70 or FH70. To hyphenate or not may be a matter of which country is writing itNfe (talk) 04:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Norwegian usage?
I do not think the Norwegian upgrade of the M114 in the early 90s is related to the FH-70 project. The information here stating so needs to be sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.162.76.240 (talk) 19:09, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
