I wonder what the effect on range and trajectory would have been if the French had used reduced charges and the Plaquettes Malandrin discussed a few days ago? It would still be not as good as redesigning the M1897 so it was a true gun-howitzer, or developing an actual light field gun-howitzer or just howitzer, but better than nothing.
