TIGER, tiger, burning bright  
In the forests of the night,  
What immortal hand or eye  
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

No, it marks _the_ armoured plate found on both sides of the tank. ;)

Ahhh, Artik:
The "Stalin" whatever musical instrument (pipe organ?)

Really highly mobile rocket artillery.

Would be nice to know more about it...
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The things I know:
  • It was extreemly effective weapon. It was much more mobile then normal altelerry, could bring high amount of fire in very short time at small theritory and disappear.
  • One battarey could in less then one minute of fire bring lots of damage.
  • It was not exact weapon but because there were lots of rockets that were bombing quite small theritory nothing were left there.
  • Geramns were really afraid of it.


In AH it would be extreemly effective againt towns and other strat targets.

Using Panzer you need to spend lots of time in order to detroy town. Enough to bring some Il-2/P-47 in the air or Panzer and kill you before you finish your work.

There you will destroy allmost full town in single shot. Also if you going to aim on enemy armor you can bring lots of firepower in single shot.

One would think that the "Stalin Organs" would be extremly limited in mobility due to the use of wheels instead of tracks. I would think that this would force the russians to rely on roads a bit too much. With the weight of the rockets, rails, and vehicle I dont think it would make a very good off road vehicle...  :D
I know, just semantics but at least mine's a "tank"  ;) :p

Well....
We have roads leading to the towns.
And we have lots of concreted area and ramps around the airfields..
