Sd.Kfz. 251 rocket tutorial
« on: September 30, 2025, 10:28:18 PM »
Its time I trained you guys on how to use the 251, it has its situational usage if you need to help take down chunks of the town as well as bring troops.  The rockets have crazy splash and you can take down 3 good sized sections of the town yourself, with buildings requiring 2 rockets to destroy.  Or if you beat your friendly tank to town you can hit 6 seperate sections and have much of the town really weak for the M4 or T34, etc. 
I chose the 23 degree rockets and when firing while driving forward it reduces the angle even further, allowing you to hit taller buildings while still being far enough away to avoid your own splash. 
Enjoy the video and I hope to see more of you 251s out there!

I like it but the driving views suck in it ,, I used to take her out for spins to destroy something or even take a base

Tested the 23 degree rocket splash yesterday.  Works exactly as you described.  :x  Still a great option for helping down buildings and deliver the troops.  :aok

Randy and I did some range testing with it yesterday.  The 23 degree rockets are about 830.  The 45 degree rockets are about 2,000. 

After driving it a couple times, found it to be not quite so nimble as the M3, faster, and better forward visibility driving from the rear pintle gun view. Not often used but, offers some interesting possibilities with the rockets of choice and troops or sups.
