no stalinorgel (katjusha)

[mrvim]

Hello,

i am new in this forum - please forgive me, if there exist already a thread.
yesterday i bought ro and i was excited. its a very good game.

BUT what i cant understand is: why there is no stalinorgel in this game? a game wich called ostfront and has no stalingorgel is unthinkable. in every movie, every book, every story about the war in russia are stalinorgel

Wasn't it volga from the mod?

were'nt katyusha's mash bombing vehicles? as i recall they'd lay an entire area to waste. the maps are to small for such barrages
or do you mean to just have them as scenery, nice things to look at?

yeah katyusha's were used far, far away from the front... and their fire was woefully inaccurate, but since the blasts were pretty big that didnt matter...

for a good example of the spread you should try out the game Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin and call in a rocket strike...

the maps are to small for such barrages

range katyusha (m-31): 4300 meters
range tiger (1): 10.500 meters

16 rockets at one time

i think the big maps from ro are not too small for these rockets.

Hmm... "Big maps" in RO feature distances of 300-500 meters averagely. No way a katyusha could befired that short.

I'm not sure the Katushja would be at all a good thing, it would turn into a weapon where just about anyone could kill an entire squad. However the german version the "nebelwerfer" could be used, it's alot smaller firing under or about 10 rockets and at a smaller range and callibre, they still sound cool. But you couldn't just have one side getting rocket launcher so i guess that's why the Devs didn't include it.

eeeh... i think youre wrong on the tiger... no way could that tank engage anything at 10,5km... the drop of the shell would mean it had to aim into the sky...

 

[Nebfer]

its probly the max range of its HE round.

 

[Mr._Kong]

Um no, there is no way it can shoot that far, it aint a battleship.

I had some in the mod map RO-KorsunAirfield, with the sound and everything, streaking over the battlefield in multiple rocket salvos every few minutes.

Unfortunately, I could never get the network emitter to function properly, so they only worked serverside. They were also only for visual/psychological/OMG-that-looks-cool effect though, not an actual weapon that affected gameplay.

no place for a weapon like that in the scale of RO currently.
