The '''Howitzer''' is a cut artillery unit from ''[[Red Alert 2]]''. According to the residual ''[[rules.ini]]'' data, it was supposed to be an [[Allied]] vehicle, available to the [[Republic of Korea]] only. Its INI data and voxel were left in the game, making it possible to place this tank in a map using ''[[FinalAlert]]'' or fully return the unit to the game by INI editing.

Its voxel model was inspired by the [[Artillery (Red Alert)|mobile artillery]] from the original [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert|''Red Alert'']], and was likely modified into the [[Germany|German]] [[tank destroyer]], and the main difference, besides the colour scheme, is the angle of the cannon. The tank has a [[Soviet]] colour scheme, being white instead of silver used in Allied vehicles. Its artillery role was taken by the [[Prism tank (Red Alert 2)|prism tank]], while its South Korean exclusive unit role was transferred to the [[Black Eagle]] jet in the game's final release.
 
 
The explosion resulting from a Howitzer's attack uses a unique sprite which displays improperly, due to its use of ''Tiberian Sun'' palettes which were changed during the development of ''Red Alert 2''.
