How about nurble woofers? Those german rocket morter things?

LOL

nebelwerfer, and I don't think they were that common (but I could be wrong).
I got the impression they were more of a comcept weapon that never made wide scale production.

i was thinking more we need somma dese

datd be sweet, v2 rockets on a hangar would devastate

But these were very common........as common as T34's in some offensives..............
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/BM-13_Katyusha
Some facts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher
In 44 Red army attacks would start with slavo after salvo from these things pounding the German front line. It could lauch 16 rockets per salvo and often pulled a trailer either with spare rockets or a trailer mounted launch rails. (some even pulled two such trailers 48 rockets per salvo!!!)
The most used truck for this purpose was the Studebaker.
The rs 132 rocket launched from this launcher had a range of 5 miles (just over 8 km) and a 22kg (50lb) war head.
Accurate it was not,, but a single launch would pepper an area a few hundred yards in Diameter.
Typically (in AH) launched using land mode from a spawn point it would pepper an air field (or town) with 16 x 50Lb rocket hits per salvo. (32 if the trailer option could be taken.)
Deploying would be some 30 secs
Relaoding would be a matter of a minute or so.

Before we get rocket trucks how about we get air to air rockets first.
P.S. Why not just say we want the Katyusha. (Stalin's Organs). Sounds so much better. :)

and this is why tards shouldn't be allowed to use ms paint!

well if it helps any I think Russia's cool :)
-
The mighty Karmic has spoken, we will now receive more Russian vehicles
-
It looks to me that this whole forum has been turned into more of a joke than anything. Someone posts "I would like to see...." then 10 people post "YES!!! GIVE US THE NUKE TOO!!!! WE WANT NOOOKS!" In hopes for a laugh, I don't see what would be wrong with artillary vehicles.
Seriously, we don't need 5 pictures of the same thing in every thread. Some requests that are just not gonna happen fine, but I think a B29 with an a-bomb is less likely than an artillary platform.

Before you get your panties in a more serious tangle, I didn't see anyone mention the nuke or b29 here but you. This guy posted about 300 threads in here, at his in game experience was 3 PT boat sorties. If you'll look, many of us have actually supported ideas for varying additions to the game. However, since HT neither responds to, nor reads past the first post, many of these threads, we can do 2 things. Try to relax and have a little fun, or get all serious, act like the virtual war or our integrity matters one bit, and go around and post where we see someone trying to have fun, and let them know that this extremely serious business.
Lighten up francis. If you're not going to lighten up, at least don't fabricate things to try to reinforce your whiny anti-fun views.

I laughed at the first drawing, I was amused by the second. But the rest were just repetitive. Maybe if you make fun of all of his posts except for the reasonable ones he will get the hint on what to wish for:p
(I don't think the rocket truck would be used though, easier to use a panzer)

i replied to all his requests, just to punt his 25 or so threads to the top of the forum so they were all in a row just for a laugh. that is why my original message (and to all his other threads) dont really make too much sense - was posting for the sake of posting.
-
teh point is to look beyond the puns and grasp the message within
NURBLE WOOFERS, man that was GOOD LAFF
-
Thats would be great to have! I cant imagine it would be tuff to make, its just a pt boat on land with a different skin.
-
ye but the rockets dont go vry far wit pt boats
-
They will go far, but the further you go, the worse your aim :)

The problem with rocket trucks, and the very reason we will never see them, is this:
They are large area saturation weapons. They are beyond visual range weapons. They are not precise. Hell I doubt you could even land them on a city from 5 miles away, in AH.
So little Timmy takes out his rocket truck (pays extra perks for the trailer, too!) and goes a'-driving.. he drives... and drives.. and drives.. he takes a nap, takes a leak, goes out to eat, comes back finds he's still only half way to his target spot... so he drives and drives.. and finally arrives at a spot that will get him in range of an enemy field's city. So he "sets up" -- which is refreshingly breif after the long trip there, and gets ready... and.. and... FIRE!!! WHOOOOOSH.... um.. wtf? That's it? Big whoop. Screw this game I'm going to play WW2OL!!!!
Poor little Timmy doesn't like the way that gameplay goes. If you can't see it, and if you can't get a direct aim on something, chances are we won't get it in AH. AH is not about saturation bombing from rocket trucks beyond visual range. That's also why we'll never get the V1 or V2 buzz bombs. It's not what AH is about. If you want an individual victory (be it against buildings or other players) you have to find them, target them, kill them, all while going into harm's way. Frankly, rocket trucks won't bring the returns required (direct feedback), and the costs are far too high for much use out of the thing. Hell a tiger in an enemy city is better than a rocket truck. At least you can see things in the tiger, and you're pretty well protected.
