Since this vehicle is rare to see much at all in game now days I think a small tweak might help it see more usage.
The rockets we have only has two settings 45 deg & 23 deg.
After looking about on line it looks like they could angle the rockets at many angles other than just two settings.
If you look at pages #22 & #23 there is a drawing & a brief description on how the system works.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/142222253/SSP-2021-SdKfz-251This book has no description of the range of movement the rockets has in terms of what angles they could be set at. After comparing what we have in AHII & what I can see in the photos it seems to me that our angles are not as shallow as they could be & not as steep either.
So what I would like to know is if someone has more specific information on the exact angles that could be obtained? Reason being if for example we could lower the angle down a few degrees this would make it easier to hit targets in front of them. Then with practice I am sure with the steeper angle it would be able to be used a little more like a mortar. A high angle of fire with not that much distance were you could lob it on to a target & have a better line of sight.
Then also the ability to change the angle while in game if the need requires it to be changed as they did in real battle situations. Maybe come to a complete stop & a small time penalty for adjustment that would be some what more realistic.
This is the photo that caught my eye.
See how low an angle the rocket leaves at.
Also take note of how close the crates are to one another compared to our AHII version.
The rockets are set at 23 deg in the below screen shots.
When you place a rule on the screen along the edge of the rocket crate in the photo & then scroll down to the AHII shots its clear the angle in the photo is less than the 23 deg.
These pictures also show a much steeper angle from my best guess than what we use at 45 deg.
It looks like we have ours set a little closer to what this picture looks like.
In a nutshell full range of degrees available for rocket launch & the ability to change angle while in play.
