The 15 cm SK/L40 is a German naval gun from mere years before the 20th century. It was produced under license by Skoda in Austria-Hungary and exported to Turkey, China and notably the Netherlands. In FHSW it is used as an coastal gun on maps such as Arctic Convoy, Gold Beach by the Germans and FHT Conquest of Java by the Dutch. Though the gunner is somewhat shielded they are still exposed and can be eliminated without taking out the gun like on the 5 inch coastal gun. In FH it was vaguely called 150 mm defgun though the model of the gun and turret and bunker looks more like the 15 cm Torpedobootskanone C/36 mounted in M 272 Regelbau casemates of the Longues-sur-Mer battery than any 15 cm SK/L40.
