ORIGINAL: newageofpower No, guns have less firepower per cost/weight than lasers. Lasers are almost strictly superior to everything before them. Hmm, what about flanking and hunting down motorized (mechanized?) infantry ? Howitzers get pretty insane anti-soft firepower once you get cluster bombs, and it's not like you need a large calibre against soft targets (or even APCs)... Now of course this still means ammo, which still puts a higher strain on logistics than energy, because it depletes logistic points, and makes deep attacks harder, but this might be compensated by electric engines being superior to diesels ? Or does the relatively small calibre mean that you don't really need them... except maybe until you need to pack a larger howitzer calibre because you're facing battledresses with their 80/100mm of plating?
