I'm kinda curious how you aim that thing...

I suck with the rockets on the PT boat... i have no idea how to range them... will this be the same?

Well, you use these coconut halves, you see...

Where did they get the coconut?

Well....

I should be happy and say thanks, HTC... but, right now, I'm more upset.... this morning I was hoping to get hands on the new version soon... and now, another delay....

Don't get me wrong, I like to have new toys... but I'm really beginning to wonder when we'll have them!

The film showed crates behind the driver, and the narrator said "reloads were carried within the vehicle"

So no trailer, just in the cargo area.

Another bit of info I found on the 28cm Wurfkörper:

"Mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 145 m/s wurden Schußweiten von 1.925 m erreicht. Die 50 % Streuung in der Längsachse betrug 160 m"

Translation:
With a velcity of 145m/s a range of 1,925m was achived. The 50% scatter zone in the longitudonal axis was 160m(!)

Source: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/raketenwerfer.htm which is usually a pretty reliable source.

That's interesting. It will be very useful in the opening salvos on an fresh town, but trying to finish off that last building? You might miss by a wide margin

Yes, but only if HTC choses to model it that way. Personally I do find the our PT rockets frightfully accurate, even when considering that they are spin stabilized

True... However, have you noticed that HTC models in dispersion with bomb drops? Drop the externals in a Ju88 (salvo 4) and watch them. They scatter BIG time, even crossing paths in opposite directions.

It's possible to do the same for this. How that plays out in-game? I don't know. Pretty cool immersion, though!

I'm pretty sure that Stroker1 is smiling ear to ear with this one. No more complaints on channel saying "I really need a bombing % in my gv."

hell that thing looks cool,
i just may up a GV

now where are those darn things?

You can adjust the dispersal with the .delay command.

I think he is saying the lateral dispersion not front to back.
