Much easier to say than alkjdowijeskj-251 in town.

I guess we'll simply call it using the icon HTC will provide... I bet on 251!

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

251 could not pull the 88. Need a heavy truck for that. It would be kool to have one of the smaller ATGs to tow behind it

You can't control the rockets like you can on the PT boat. In the hangar, you can choose between 23° or 45° angles, but once you launch the rockets are fixed.

The 23° setting intersects some aspects of AH gameplay in interesting ways. 23° will give you a range of 1000 yards which is also the range where plane range icons switch to fine granularity. It takes about 7.5 seconds from launch to impact at that range whereas it takes just over 8 seconds for a plane to complete its start sequence and begin rolling after a spawn.

I was going to argue with ya, but then realize that I suffer from CRS and thats probably what I remember seeing and building a model of when I was a kid , an anti-tank gun

Awesome, that will save us a lot of trial and error. Thanks.

23degrees or 45degrees. Or is it from 23 to 45 and everything in between or just those two settings?

I guess when choosing weapons loadout, something like:

- 10 Troops
- 1 Airfield Supply
- 10 GV Supplies
- 6 280mm Rockets @ 45°
- 6 280mm Rockets @ 23°

the SDKFZ-251 also comes with a box of GV supplies all ready so you can reload your rockets.

Has anyone from HTC confirmed this will be included when we get the Sdkfz or is this just another thing you're pulling out from where the sun doesn't shine?
