The photos of the vehicle I have seen suggest that you should be able to carry a re-load of at least 10 mortars if you select them in the hangar.

In this case "Wasserbombe" is a bit misleading. It's not meant to be used as a classical depth charge against submarines but against all kind of ships "Seeziele" = naval targets, with hits in the water close to the vessel's side resulting in vast destructions below the waterline.

Greebo has and that's as good as your going to get. I don't know why he would lie about something like that. And the SDKFZ did have the ability to reload on the rockets, if you seen in the youtube video around page 2 or 3.

I missed Greebo saying that. Was this ingame or something?

Great. Just what we needed.........

Pyro's quite devious Gianlupo.... Beware his wrath!

Lusche, I defer to your expertise. Please tell me if I have this correct (see below).

[/B][/QUOTE]

for use against train stations, train tracks, overpasses, underpasses, large buildings, buried to an 8 m. depth with a modified headring for use against surface targets or also as depth charge (with Triple 106) produced in three different grades and in different production methods for different uses or implementations, also with basic threaded rod (M 90x3) for attaching a telescoping fuse, Trumpet of Jericho and with electronic incendiary bombs in the employment as depth charges without and/or with standard tail unit

And if I am pretty close.......

Trumpets of Jericho? If that is the case....

Please let me order a dozen of these for JG11 to include the screaming, train busting ordinance.

Also weren't these called "Walking Stuka's" as well.

Literal translation would be "special strength vehicle" if I am correct.

No matter how you look at it,

In der Tat eine Sache vieler SchÃ¶nheit!!

Before a few readers are getting confused, this is still about the SC-250 aerial bomb, not the SdKfz 251's rockets

Your translation is correct, though I wouldn't translate "Wasserbombe" literally in this case, for the reasons I pointed out earlier.

YOu are also correct on "Trumpets of Jericho". Early in the war this kind of siren was sometimes added to bombs:

Aha!! I knew you would know.

Where did he post this or did he tell you this in game?

Just because the video showed it could carry it's own supplies in real life, it doesn't necessarily mean it will have the same option in AH.
