Default Re: Howitzers on the Ogre Mk VII

Rumor has it that Paneurope is secretly working on a Mark7 program of their own with much more substantive and tangible results...

This makes more feasible sense than Combine producing and fielding a Mark7 because Paneurope was on the defensive while Combine was on the offensive. A Combine produced Mark7 would be problematic because of it's move of 2 used in an offensive role, even heavily escorted while a Paneuropean Mark7 being used defensively would not be and in fact even compliment their defensive posture with these slow moving OGREs.

Essentially a central command vehicle and mobile fortress bristling with Howitzers, these secret super OGREs were used in tandem with the Paneuropean Defense network of LOGREs (Laser OGREs), OGRE AI Laser Tower Batteries, and Fortifications. Like other OGRE AI operated weapon systems unique to the Paneuropean line of battle, the Integrated Howitzers were also operated by the OGRE making them superior to non-OGRE operated ones.

The Bollwerk class OGREs were the largest ever produced even by Combine standards. The most famous was called the Zitadelle...
