Operators
Croatia has 22 M115 in reserve, used during Independence War. It should be listed in "Operators". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.230.139 (talk) 20:40, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Designation
Just out of curiosity, why is the postwar designation used for a weapon that is best known for its service during World War II?--172.190.68.35 (talk) 06:43, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Merge
The 8-inch gun M1 and M115 howitzer are the same weapons system. The original name was changed to the M115 in the 1950s or 1960s (depending on the ref).

 * I am opposed. The 8-inch gun and 8-inch howitzer are different weapons systems with distinct roles. The howling cow (talk) 00:57, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Does not make scense to put the hen into the egg. Different way makes more scense and do a link to a chapter, where the use from 1962 on with the new name is explained. For German Wiki we will do solve it, by naming it 8-inch-Howitzer M1, M2 and M115 and melt it together. Will be done within the next days, if some wants to check, how we did it, give me some days.CheersReisender.ab (talk) 08:34, 18 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Upps, looks as if someone mixed 8-inch Howitzer and 8-inch Gun, these are different once and can't be put together...Reisender.ab (talk) 11:00, 18 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I am opposed because 8-inch gun M1 describes something different, more than twice the weight and with range 50% greater than the M115 howitzer. Maria Gemmi (talk) 11:07, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
