Totally off-topic, but you're saying a thin metal shell and some fins weigh 125lbs or so?

I find that a little hard to believe.

Reading the link above the frames were mounted and preset for range........ so there is no adjustment like we have for the PT boat rockets?

Range of 1970 metres......... not as long range as Katyushka's but more hitting power.

I suppose it can carry troops to? or would it carry spare rockets ? (vehicle supplies?) which would deploy over a period of time.

Its not a "thin" metal shell by a long shot.

I would hope it carries troops -- just for variety from M3 use.

Would give axis v allies and scenario setups more immersion! (instead of using M3 on both sides)

It's not exactly high-quality steel either

Yes i do.

Some examples:

Minenbombe SC-250 (Thin walled high explosive bomb): Weight: 245-256 kg. Explosive load: 125-130kg

Minenbombe SC 50: Weight 50-54kg. Explosive load 25kg

So one 28cm Wurfkörper has the explosive power of 2 SC-50 bombs (for example carried by our Ju-88)

Just thought. Radio chatter is going to be fun.

Instead of "Quick M3 in town!"

Now we will have "Quick, S...D...K...F...Z-2... 5...1 in town, ah forget it, it's too late"

If true, what a wholly inefficient method for delivering explosives!

So unlike those Germans, to be so wasteful!

It appears the rear doors open. I'm sure they did that so we could carry troops otherwise the doors would have been a waste of time.

It looks like it is a pita to skin with the rocket racks on.

Thanks for the hard work guys.

get 5 or 6 of these guys in COH and they are monsters better than arty for pinch point defense.
