Towed pieces still have their place, especially in mountain warfare and air insert forces. A good towed battery can be set up in 10 minutes and their trucks can carry far more ordnance, less maintenance, and uses less fuel than an equivalent SPH battery. Most certainly, I do not want to support SPHs in a fire support base. That's way too much digging.
