280 mm or 320 mm Wurfkoerper rockets? Sweet!

I'm thinking a towable 88 field gun....

The Nebelwerfer was a six tubed towed mount that fired 150 mm rockets. The SDKFZ-251-1 fired 280 mm rockets.

Nah. They're clearly not just shells. They're rockets, firing.

This isn't just a resupply truck for an 88. This is doing its own firing.

Might be an interesting tool for town killing.

What are they equivelant to? 500 lb bombs? 1000lb?

M3 with teeth like it.

251/1-II - Rocket launcher (called "Stuka zu Fuß" (Walking Stuka) or Wurfrahmen 40) equipped with six side mounted frames for launching 280 mm or 320 mm Wurfkoerper rockets.

Looks a bit like the M3 is getting company

What is it's top speed?

If it is anywhere near the M3 then I have a feeling the M3 will start to see little use

I know they're mortars.... you misunderstood....

I meant that with the 251 we could now have a towable 88 field gun
