Despite the shortfalls, by the summer of 1917, the Westheer artillery park had increased from 5,300 to 6,700 field guns and from 3,700 to 4,300 heavy guns, many being newer models of superior performance. Machine-gun output enabled each division to have 54 heavy and 108 light machine-guns and for the number of Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilungen (MGA, machine-gun sharpshooter detachments) to be increased. The greater output was insufficient to equip the new divisions, and existing divisions, which still had two artillery brigades with two regiments each, lost a regiment and the brigade headquarters, leaving three regiments. Against the new scales of equipment, British divisions in early 1917 had 64 heavy and 192 light machine-guns and the French 88 heavy and 432 light machine-guns.

⇒1917年夏までには、西部戦線方面軍の軍用地の全砲兵隊は、不足ながらも、野戦砲を5,300門から6,700門に、重砲を3,700門から4,300門に増やし、しかもその多くが優れたパフォーマンスの新型であった。機関銃の産出によって各々の師団が54門の重砲と108丁の軽機関銃を持てるようになり、機関銃上級射手分遣隊(MGA)の員数を増やすことが必要になった。

⇒出力はより大きくなったが、新しい師団が備えるには不十分であったし、既存の師団にはまだそれぞれ2個の砲兵旅団があり、その各々が2個ずつの連隊を内包していた。各師団が1個旅団につき3個連隊を残して旅団本部と1個連隊を失った。(このドイツ軍の)新しい兵器規模に対して、1917年前半で、英国軍の各師団は64門の重砲と192丁の軽機関銃を、フランス軍のそれは88門の重砲と432丁の軽機関銃を備えていた。
