However, it also features angled faces, allowing some shots to ricochet for greatly reduced damage. Unlike the other packages for the FT-17, the turret has limited traversal. With the potential to immobilize vehicles with each shot, the first shot should be carefully placed. At long range, the Howitzer can best most vehicles except the Armored Artillery Truck, which fires faster-moving shells. It can be used for indirect fire, but is less capable at this role than mortars since shots must be gauged from prior attempts, and higher gun elevations only provide modest increase in range. It inflicts great damage to enemy vehicles, but its slow velocity makes for high, lofting shots at distant targets. The 75mm HE Howitzer is among the most powerful shells available for vehicles. Its primary weapon is a heavy machine gun, with which it can strike fast-moving targets and infantry. The Howitzer Package is a Vehicle Package featured in Battlefield 1 for the FT-17 tank. 'Suited for long range fighting against static enemies, emplacements and with the ability to deploy a defensive smoke screen.'
