plus one

ewww, sorry Mr. G........  The correct answer is.... The Cold Flow Test Stand.   

  darn, i guess i lost on jeopardy

I think use of the word "salvo" would help clear up the launch math. Just my opinion though. Also could you imagine how long you could continuously rain death and destruction if this boat was introduced with the salvo and delay adjustment ability most bombers use in game?

Interesting, never thought of that.....

How would you guy think this would be aimed, because i don't want it to be like the pt. It needs some kind of "land mode"

[Tank-Ace]

+1000. Accuracy wasn't real great, but that just equates to a better spread of rockets over an area. Also imagine the damage this thing could do to an enemy CV. 1000 rockets = PLENTY of them for ranging the target before you cut loose.

What do you think the time to reload after a 1000 rocket launch would be? 

[Tank-Ace]

IDK, maybe an hour or two if they're hauling.

30 mins with big good crew but thats a rough estimate.

take that back, big downfall, "Time for reloading varied from between 9 to 19 hours".

Looks like they just use simple steel frames to hold the rockets untill launch. Unless it takes a long time to attach the wire or whatever is used to actually launch them, it can't be THAT long.

did the math and a single person could reload this (at least get the rockets into the launchers) in 9 hours if it takes him about 30 seconds to put each rocket into the launch frame, assuming he doesn't have to carry the rockets out. I'd figure at least 10 people working to reload it.

I suppose however i like many people are looking for simulation over game. My wish has a downfall and i have to accept it. People don't wanna wait 9 hours and 9 hours based on my research is the minimum time. 9-19 hours

oh well, we only get 1000 rockets instead of 5000, its still a hell of a lot of firepower.

true, and if you think about it, run it like an LVT and you can ressuply it

Crew might be much lighter, and I doubt you'll hit 30 seconds per rocket when you account for the need to move the rocket from storage to its launcher.
