Large artillery guns were generally not used as short range direct support weapons under the control of individual Battalion commanders. They were kept together and used as long range fire support for the Division. Hence, there use as on map weapons is unrealistic in most battles. However, exceptions occurred, so the 1949 availability is used to keep them out of most random battles, but allow their use in scenarios if appropriate.
Self-propelled artillery guns were commonly used in both long range and in direct fire support roles, so they remain available for purchase as on-map units.
