I was just wondering what type of rocket artillery the Germans have. My guess is that it'd be one of the nebelwerfers but I don't know whether it was used in force in Stalingrad. The Russian rocket artillery would be the Katyusha I guess?
You are aware that the artillery pieces would be far outside of the map?TRIPWIRE please make the rocket lancher (nebel's, katushia) visible...and when it fires the guys come out and refill the rockets....so a smart commander would be able to see how long he has left to call in a strike,by the number of rockets loaded/not and how fast they reload it!
and a 6 or 8 barrel (cant remember) square carrier.
plus, they had a armored halftrack with a 8 barrel (again, i think) carrier. the half track was FULLY armored...side, top and front.
There was a version of the Sdkfz 251 halftrack that had 6 large rockets mounted on the sides in wooden frames (3 on each side). I think it was introduced in winter 41 or maybe 42?
Just another possibility.
Edit:
Just looked it up, nicknamed "Stuka zu fuss", 'Stuka on foot' is the rough translation
Sdfkz 251/1-II, not sure when it was introduced though.
IF it would actually matter (it doesn't since it's off-map) then vehicle mounted rockets like the Wurfrahmen 40 would be out of the question due to rarity, simply look at the low production numbers of the SdKfz 251 to see what I mean.
But the point is when you have rockets raining down on you from the German side, you're going to be worrying about them killing you. Not worrying about whether what's firing them far off map are nebelwerfer's or panzerwerfers or a "stuka zu fuss"
Depending on the rocket.Hopefully there will be very large maps modded in and some of these ideas put in game, would always be interesting to play around with. Whats kind of damage these rockets would do to a tank? Not sure.
Nice pics mates, were do you guys find them? (Exept for google xD)
