Katyusha Rocket Trucks - Wishlist

[Alucard_II]

Hey its Allie 
I play mainly anything that can have rockets mounted onto it, more so, the GV's with rockets. Like the sdkfz and the m4. But, I had an idea of a new rocket piece that could also be used as a sort of Short to Medium range artillery piece on the field.

Notei am new to AH, joined 3 weeks ago, but I did play about 4 years ago under the name RedArmy2262, (i think thats what it was lol)

But, the vehicle Im talking about is my favorite WW2 era vehicle. Its fragile, but sweet and deadly, the Katyusha Rocket Truck from the Soviet Union.

Heres some specs for the truck if your interested...
There were 2 TRUCK variants, there were many other variants including boats, tanks, and even train cars, but the trucks are the most remembered.
Variants: ZiS-5, ZiS-6 (trucks)

The weapons came in many sizes and variants. Everything from only one rocket, to 72 rockets per truck.
One rocket variant: BM-8. (very early war version, towed version, not mounted)
72 Rocket variant: BM-8-72. (the one we all know and love)

---Rockets---
K, here is where all the real fun stuff comes in... the rockets.
Ill list all rockets below

---Rocket Variants---

Rocket Name      Caliber (in mm)            Max Range           Warhead
M-8                            82                       6500yds               1.4lbs
M-13                         132                       9560yds             11.0lbs
M-13DD                     132                       12900yds           11.0lbs
M-13UK                     132                       8600yds             11.0lbs
M-20                         132                       5520yds               41lbs
M-30                         300                       3100yds               64lbs
M-31                         300                       4730yds               64lbs
M-31UK                     300                       4400yds               64lbs

Thats all the rocket variants, the chart I got this from is from the ever so helpful wikipedia. Heres the article if your interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher#Variants

Im sure that some of these bigger rockets are pretty op, considering theyre 64lbs. But like the sdkfz, actually getting the rockets to hit anything can be a test of sanity on its own. So I think its a fair tradeoff...

Heres a couple pics of the Katyusha and some of its rockets...



But anyways, I think this vehicle would be an amazing addition to AH, go easy on me if theres mechanics or technical stuff that I dont know about, im still pretty new here...
But this vehicle would be a godsend for us artillery players 

Thanks

Great, now i can kill it.

That is, if you dont get hailed upon by the power of the soviet union on your way to it

Not very many people can put what we have to good use. Having a little extra range, or even double the range, would not be of much benefit.
