Tactics
- The Priest can only be called in with the Royal Canadian Artillery Support.
- Although having less range than the 25 Pounder, the Priest is mobile, making it less vulnerable to a counter attack.
- Even though the Priest is armed with a machine gun for defense, it is still vulnerable to infantry, and is extremely vulnerable to tanks. It is always a good idea to keep some kind of defense near the Priest.
History
The 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7 was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle produced during World War II. It was given the official nickname Priest in British service, due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring and following on from the Bishop self propelled gun, the full designation when in British service was 105mm SP Gun, Priest. This developed into a tradition of naming self-propelled guns after ecclesiastic titles with the Sexton and Abbot.
