"Comments?" That's a good idea. Certainly there are people interested in searching artillery pieces not only by nation (which is sometimes pointless given the number of exported models) but by category or name.
"Suggestions?" An article on the 75mm Krupp export models would be much appreciated
Charlie,
Splitting arty into different sections is a great idea - but mortars?? Might cause confusion between what the Allies referred to as a mortar and the other side referred to as a morser.
Maybe better to go "light/medium" & "Heavy and super-heavy"? This boils it down effectively into mobile and static/dug-in arty.

I might entitle the section "L'artillerie de Tranchée" which would resolve the mortar-morser-mortier issue and totally confuse everyone.
People who would wish to make such distinctions are probably unlikely to visit Landships II because the website is "derivative" and "not in
the original language".
The website isn't database driven so it would be extraordinarily difficult to provide different access terms - the maintenance would be a nightmare.
Some years ago I was involved in a web project that demanded a complex database driven menu system. After the project was delivered we instrumented
the code to find out what the users were doing with the menu system. In fact they did nothing - most users just used the default settings and even when
users customised the menus in some way this was very limited.
So you couldn’t do minenwerfer for the German section and mortars for the British? Or feldkanone and field artillery? It has to be the same categories for every nation?
